You should take some time off the internets, friend.

Rise was the only good one. The rest were trash.
Dawn and War both have some good moments, but only enough to fill like one movie between them.
Dawn and War both felt to me like they were episodes from the middle of a prestige TV show. Lots of pieces being moved around not amounting to all that much while you wait for the season finale for something to actually happen.
How did they train the monkeys to do all that?
at gunpoint
the monkeys who didn't comply were shot instantly, you can watch the summary executions in the making-of special on the blueray
Actually it's actor Andy Serkis. He had to spend 14 hours a day in an actual chimp skin which was specially treated and plasticized by the practical effects team. Of course, the skins were one-time use only, as they quickly degraded as the actor moved around while wearing them; over the course of filming, the production went through 49 chimpanzees.
They're actually dogs in costumes
it's CGI
Lying b***h
It was all a dream
they're smarter than you think.
Monkey see, monkey do!
they didnt, that was real footage, turn on cnn
I've only watched the first one sober but I do remember bits from the second two. I remember being kind of impressed by the CGI and hair effects on the apes
Logan's Run
Life of Brian
Godzilla vs Mothra
Biblical allegories?
It's a retelling of Exodus with sprinkles of Jesus here and there. Basically Caesar is Moses and sometimes Jesus.
It doesn't help that the OG POTA movies weren't very good after the second one and their ape costumes looked especially moronic in the fourth movie when they were supposed to still be "normal" apes aside from Caesar.
I have a soft spot for Escape and Conquest, even though I recognize that they're not that great. Battle is fricking appalling though.
Escape is usually considered the best of the sequels to the 1968 movie. It's also the one nearest in tone and content to the original French novel.
There's nothing more reddit than liking this sterile as frick franchise with one good movie. The Matt Reeves flicks do not have a single moment that feels inspired. They're in the same league as The Amazing Spiderman series. Applying the Nolan paint to another franchise by a workman director.
Truth.
Lacks the WTF rugpulls that made the original kino.
>Trilogy
Isn't there 4 or 5 of these pieces of shit?
>BUT THEYRE GOOD
Sorry, I don't want to see CGI monkeys being homosexuals. If I wanted to watch a cartoon I'd watch a cartoon.
I don't know the scene with Chloe Lamour was kind of meh. Planet of the gapes is usually better
There's just no way for humans to lose that bad, even if monkeys started to use guns they would need hundreds of years to match out tactics and weapons since many of them wouldn't even fit their hands.
That's not taking into account mankind's air superiority and chemical knowledge
You have to remember the virus wiped out like 99% of the human population though.
The same thing that made chimps smart turned out to be an infectious virus for humans that made us mentally regress and become primitive. The ones that survived, that is.
I've only seen one but that was enough for me to never see any more of this gay shit. Reddit Trilogy
Someone should edit these movies to make the apes look even more like real life (dark eye scleras, ischial callosities, genital swelling in female chimps who are in estrus, erect penises and pilo-erection in male chimps doing dominance displays, white fur tufts on the rumps of juvenile chimps, to just name a few things).
Realistically, what did Koba ever do wrong?
have a scar on his face. automatically makes him bad
He was black-coded.
Koba was racist
Ape not kill ape
Koba kill ape.
he failed to kill Caesar. Koba is the main reason Dawn is the best movie of the trilogy
Koba started out as a great unique nationalist character and turned him into a stereotypical power hungry villain that started killing his own kind for power. Its crazy how they always go full moron woth these types of characters. There is no inbetween.
there wasnt time to do what youre talking about, unless it was a tv series and not a movie. or maybe if koba lived and was still alive in War
The first half of War is so fricking good and I can't believe it got made but it declines badly when they reach Woody's base
True that. I wish the entire movie was the road trip.

>boomer fedora tipping proto reddit movies
can you talk without buzzwords, zoomie?
the matt reeves movies are boring. if prefering the original movies is reddit, then reddit is based.
The OG movies had moronic writing
>Taylor can't figure out that he's on Earth after seeing humans, and apes who speak Englush
>time travel homosexualry
>virus killed all dogs and cats, so humans felt "lonely" and started using apes instead
At least the new movies make more sense.
i don’t see how any of that makes its “reddit”
Never met anyone that ever watched any of these nor are they ever really mentioned much, but they keep making them, how is this happening?
while its not a super popular movie series with lots of fans, it is a big enough name that people still know what planet of the apes is even if they havent seen any of them. That plus they consistently make money, and you can do pretty much whatever you want storywise
The Apes series is kinda low-key, but they’re not bad movies. The Rise-Dawn-War trilogy doesn’t have any total flops (even though like
said, War gets worse in the second half).
That might sound kind of unremarkable, but compared to other Sci-Fi IPs, it is pretty refreshing. Star Wars has more shitty than good movies, and Marvel has sucked since endgame. Rise came out in 2011, so it’s not like like the rebooted Apes is all that new. As far as established Sci-Fi IPs go, it’s been more consistent than anything I can think of.
Normies watch them. I didn't even know they existed until my cousin mentioned them and how good they were
I was looking it up just a little while ago because the fact that they're doing a fourth movie in this reboot series was baffling to me. But according to wikipedia, it seems like they're genuinely successful films
>the first reboot film made 5 times its budget back at $482 million
>the second made $711 million, and then the third made $491 million
>all three have had strong reviews
So it's really bizarre that they otherwise haven't had any real cultural impact. I think people are aware of at least aware of it as the other major Andy Serkis mocap role beyond Gollum, but otherwise it just seems like everything about it is incredibly quiet
They're 10/10
The reason Matt Reeves got to do The Batman is because of Dawn/War.
It's literally the last good trilogy Hollywood made.
I hate all the planet of the apes after the original 1968 one
most of them are at least watchable. Id say the only flat out bad planet of the apes movies are Battle for the planet of the apes (the final movie in the OG series) and the tim burton remake (although the makeup/costumes are great)
Tim Burton POTA has a better ending than any of the Matt Reeves.
It's dragged down a lot by Wahlberg and the she-chimp character.
that ending is moronic, it makes zero sense. how did the main bad ape go back in time and remake modern day earth but with apes instead of humans? and everything looks exactly the same too
My headcanon: going back to the anomaly, the astronaut just went forward in time, the same as in the first trip. Then, he arrived in a future where the Apes occupied Washington, making minor changes to the human monuments.
it was a dumb setup to a sequel that was never going to happen
shut the frick up no one asked the first time.
>that ending is moronic, it makes zero sense.
You are moronic for expecting it to make sense.
It's just a punchy curveball ending.
nobody liked that ending. youre just doing the subverting expectations thing
are they ever going to blow up the statue of liberty? that's what I'm waiting for.
The director of the new movie mentioned that eventually with these movies the longterm plan is to have them travel to the east coast.
Still mogged by Wahlbergkino
>biblical allegories
oh so that’s why neckbeard OP likes them and thinks the old ones are reddit. they pander to his christcuck horseshit.
>Movie series like this?
There aren't anymore. Planet of the Apes was the last good epic trilogy Hollywood will ever produce. Hollywood is dead.
I look forward to seeing if Matt Reeves can replicate the magic with The Batman's series.
How were the humans in the War era STILL not all immune? Human global civilization by that point was completely defunct, so it stands to reason most people were already infected and had natty immunity.
I guess if they actually let the script play out organically, the War scenario would be the near the lowest point humanity would fall to, but they needed to link it to the 1960s version where humans have been reduced to feral cattle.
the virus evolved
>How were the humans in the War era STILL not all immune
They were. Colonel Woody Harrelson even has a line in the third movie about every surviving human being a carrier. The virus just evolved because it's an artificial virus and that's the excuse for all that shit to happen. I'm guessing the virus evolves again in the upcoming film because there's a talking human again hundreds of years in the future.
I never saw them because I didn't want to be expected to cheer for humans to be killed by effectively alien species, are they not actually like that
the main villain of the second movie is an ape. and most humans in the trilogy are killed by other humans or the man made virus they created. most of the apes are just trying to survive
Not for the first two. The third movie is okay, but it is also kind of a dumb holocaust allegory, complete with cartoonishly evil humans. Still, not a terrible movie (very bad ending tho). First two movies are great and not like that at all.
War's ending was kino. The hero leads his people to the promised land and succumbs to his wounds, but passes away content that his people will have a future.
he's basically moses in the last movie. I do remember for being a summer blockbuster type movie War was very dark, almost R rated violence wise
>but it is also kind of a dumb holocaust allegory
?
It's Exodus, moron.
>implying these are the best ape movies
No Charlton Heston, no ape kino
Someone should edit these movies to make the apes look even more like real life (dark eye scleras, ischial callosities, genital swelling in female chimps who are in estrus, erect penises and pilo-erection in male chimps doing dominance displays, white fur tufts on the rumps of juvenile chimps, to just name a few things).
I watched the first one and it was peak slop. I guess the MCU has pushed the standards for blockbusters so low that now anything passes as good. Saddening.
>original film, pro-human against the filthy apes
>new 2000s dogshit - pro-filthy ape, anto-human propaganda
anyone who fell for it is a cretin
Fricking BRAINLET take.
>Rightfully gets upset when a chimp enters his property with his children.
>His car gets fricked up by some old dude.
>Gets his finger gnawed on and beaten by a chimp
>Some fat guy sneezes on him and contracts super monkey aids.
Did he deserve it?
He basically said the N-word
I only watched the third move because my friend dragged me to see it, and holy shit it was bad.
holy shit you are gay
I want to frick the ape women from the Burton film
