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!
