This ripping action-adventure features stellar effects and a superb lead performance from Owen Teague as a timid simian who must rescue his clan from the clutches of a warlike tribe.

There is beauty among the terror and an element of anxious unpredictability thrashing our characters like the waves that crash against the cliffs. But the deft spectacle would be nothing without the characters and performances.

I think the movie was really good and a worthy continuation of the saga. The actors were good and the music too, the 2 hours flew away

Great film with amazing visuals. The action is just great and I like this one just as much as the ones with Cesar..

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a sturdy new entry in the revived Planet of the Apes franchise, itself one of the more successful second go-rounds, commercially and artistically, of Hollywood’s modern corporate era. Yet the movie, like its three predecessors, is a fascinating case of content following form.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes explores the past while creating a new future, starting this fresh angle on the series to a rocky, but promising start.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a patchwork quilt of familiar notions.

It’s the ideal third act for a Planet of the Apes movie––whether you want to sit through an extensive, near-90 minute journey that represents everything wrong with dystopian world-building in contemporary blockbusters to get there, however, is up to you.

Trying to overwhelm the audience with spectacle, as “Kingdom” attempts to do, is a sorry substitute for the detailed characters and thoughtful conflicts that populate prior entries in the series.

One of the best movies I’ve seen for a long time. NI one can tell me different this is a good movie. The only thing I could say that I don’t like is why did Noa have to get his ass beat every fight he fought? Overall good movie though.

A disappointing follow up to an amazing trilogy, devoid of the creative juices that made everything work before. Still a solid piece of filmmaking, and I enjoyed the elements that were introduced, but the performances were not as convincing as the previous apes.

A step down for the franchise after a pretty solid trilogy. A nice looking action movie with nothing special to offer. Full review on my instagram page _oscarbait_

Pretty awful movie. Takes the interesting parts and visual design from the last trilogy and doesn't innovate on it at all. The story doesn't add anything and the characters all still act as if the setting hasn't changed, despite us being told that many generations have passed. Nothing to add. Skip

When the trail says “it’s perfect in every way” and “go see it immediately “. You know it’s a complete and utter flop. PotA is doa, another failed film by an extinct corporation.
