If you go to films for the Cinematography, special effects and visual appealing aspect of film-making Kingdom will be your castle but for the rest of us it’s just a room. The film has it’s moments but they are few and far between with much clutter instead especially when the “Apes” speak. I know the film-makers were trying to go for the authentic voices of the apes but we in the audience should understand the motivations better. Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes worth a view but only room a studio view.
** 1/2 – You can add an extra half of star if visually appealing is in your top category of entertainment values.
