“The New Kingdom is a fantastic addition to the series. Although the pacing sometimes slows down, it never stops the film from being an absolute delight. The visual effects are stunning and the characters beautifully developed. I can’t wait to see what’s next!”highlights Russ Milheim’s The Direct.
For her part, Perri Nemiroff of Collider is also enthusiastic. After Origins, Showdown and Supremacy, The New Kingdom proves to be one of the best saga reboots in the series, and as expected, there was no better director than Wes Ball.
“Of course, the wizards at Weta played a big part in all of this, but there’s no doubt that Ball’s personal mastery of visual effects contributed greatly to this film’s incredible aesthetic.”
“The New Kingdom pays homage to the Apes saga! It’s a sprawling adventure with brilliant special effects and performances. There’s a lot to talk about, the film is thematically vague. I also don’t like the ending, but that’s a minor complaint otherwise. An enjoyable and interesting film.”Germaine Lussier of Gizmodo points out.
For Ian Sandwell of Digital Spy, “The New Kingdom is a solid continuation of the series. It takes a while to find its footing, but it builds to a gripping second act and a thrilling finale. I can’t wait to see what happens after the intriguing conclusion. .”
“The New Kingdom is a classic summer blockbuster. Takes time to get started, get to know the new characters and the timeline thoroughly, then never looks back. The visuals are amazing. Great performances. It feels like the beginning of a new epic. I want to see the next movie ASAP!” says Brandon Davis of ComicBook.
The new Kingdom was also shown to the French press on May 6, and initial reactions have been very positive so far.
We remind you that New Kingdom will be released in theaters on May 8, 2024. The trilogy, launched in 2011, has grossed $1.6 billion worldwide. Will this new chapter also be successful? Answer in a few weeks.
