Amazon Prime Video is finally streaming one of the best movies of 2024, and it is doing this exclusively. Right now, the 2024 movie is not streaming on Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, HBO Max, Paramount+ or any of the competitor streaming services. Prime Video adding one of last year’s biggest movies is noteworthy itself, but the fact it is a streaming exclusive makes the addition all the noteworthy. How long this exclusivity will last or how long the 2024 movie will be available to stream for free with an Amazon Prime subscription, remains to be seen.

The movie in question, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, from director Wes Ball, is now streaming on Prime as an exclusive. Not only was the sequel to 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes one of the best movies of 2024, it was also one of the highest-grossing at the box office, finishing the year with almost nearly $400 million at the box office. The 2024 movie — which stars the likes of Freya Allan, Owen Teague, Peter Macon, Kevin Durand, and William H. Macy — hit to an 81 on Rotten Tomatoes, making it Certified Fresh. Meanwhile, it coupled this with a 77% Audience Score. Here’s the trailer:
Why You Should Watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes On Prime
The modern Planet of the Apes series is one of the best franchises currently ongoing in Hollywood. In an age where CGI can be one of the most distracting shortfalls of blockbusters, the consistency in this series has been breathtaking. The sequel picks up after a time jump, continuing the legacy of Caesar (previously played by Andy Serkis). The synopsis reads: “Many years after the reign of Caesar, a young ape goes on a journey that will lead him to question everything he’s been taught about the past and make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
The story is compelling, the world-building continues to be excellent, and Kingdom… is another bold step in one of the most confident franchises of the century. Those that decide to check it out now that it is streaming on Amazon Prime Video should anticipate a runtime of about 145 minutes and a PG-13 rating which warns against intense action.
