I’ve always been a big fan of the Planet of the Apes movies. They’re all very interesting movies, and they have a lot of action. If you have been following along with these movies as well, I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has arrived on Digital. One of the first movies was dated back in the 60’s, so they’ve come a long ways since the very first one was released. If you haven’t seen that one yet, I highly recommend it. Then make sure to see the newest as well as some of the others. This one was definitely one of my favorites as well. It was amazing!
BURBANK, CA (June 20, 2024) – The fate of the world is at stake when 20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes arrives to digital retailers (Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home) on July 9 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on August 27. Director Wes Ball’s stunning new entry into the Planet of the Apes series has been heralded by critics as “a jaw-dropping spectacle” (Matt Neglia, Next Big Picture) and “a visual masterpiece” (Mark Hughes, Forbes). It is Certified-Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes™ and has thrilled audiences worldwide, becoming one of the biggest global box office successes of the year and marking the beginning of a new era for the epic Planet of the Apes franchise.
Set generations after Caesar’s reign in a world where apes are the dominant species, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes follows an ape named Noa and a human named Mae as they emerge to define the future of how apes and humans will coexist.
