I’ve watched all Planet of the Apes movies. My favorite was the 1968 original. This “Kingdom of the planet of the apes” is just TRASH. Poor flat actors, terrible plot. Characters introduced and there was no basis for them. Very slow to build any momentum. It made humans out to be dumb or evil and apes to be merciful and superior. It was just more “ posturing” than entertainment. I just wanted to watch a movie and be entertained. It was such a LETDOWN.

Terrible, lack luster movie. Don’t bother, save your $$$$ I was extremely bored watching this and regret spending $40+ to see it. Wes Ball? Please don’t make another one.

I was really hoping for a nice follow-up from Caesar’s son, Cornelius. Instead, they went too far into the future, giving no context to this storyline. A bit of a miss here.

One again, The Planet of The Apes Universe has proven to be an excellent mirror of our modern social commentary and dynamics. Plus, the visual FX were amazing and action was heartpounding.

It was a good movie overall; it was like a beginning to a new storyline for the Planet of the Apes franchise. At times, it was a bit slow but I guess that's to be expected since they were essentially building a new story and introducing all new characters. I was originally expecting the story to follow Ceasars son as an adult until the plot actually came out. I would suggest seeing it for yourself because everyone's movie taste is different, but maybe go on discount night just in case you don't like it you won't feel so bad. lol

Movie was fine but doesn't really add anything to the universe. This movie introduces characters and concepts that are no longer relevant by the end of the movie because of the events of the film. It was a completely unnecessary addition to the franchise. I hate to be writing this because I love the franchise. The movie was interesting for sure but it just doesn't matter unfortunately. Perhaps the franchise just needs Caesar.

Great film with awesome story, however it would have been amazing if this story truly picked up where “WAR” left off with Cornelius being the main protagonist

Overall, this movie is alright as one of those “imagine what happened after this main part of the story” expansions to a series. Its the fourth movie in a remade franchise, but sadly it FEELS like a fourth movie. It does alrighty as a Planet of the Apes movie, but it doesn’t stand up on its own. It just feels a little off. Like a spinoff one shot comic.
