Critics Consensus

Carving out a new era for The Planet of the Apes with lovable characters and rich visuals, Kingdom doesn't take the crown as best of the franchise but handily justifies its continued reign.

Robbie Smith

London Evening Standard

It’s visuals, not words, that this film excels at and as it builds to its (rather far-fetched) conclusion it whips you along.

Rated: 3/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Dull and confusing. The best that can be said about it is the mildly interesting dystopian production design.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It's fine, it really starts slowly. There's a huge amount of waffling at the beginning and then when it gets into the second hour it gets somewhere that suggests that the next chapter is going to be interesting. It's not great. It's not bad. It's mmm.

Fort Worth Report

The film sets in motion a new trilogy while keeping the franchise relevant. The special effects are breathtaking, and I enjoyed the subtle traces of the 1968 original. The motion-capture performances stand out, especially Owen Teague.

Rated: 3/4

I will apologize for doubting Wes Ball. The visual effects are spectacular and this is all around a decent enough film. It is Planet of the Apes operating on a competent level.

I loved that it was centered around Ceaser and what he believed in. It also had a comedic tone at times which I liked.
