Synopsis:Caesar, a chimpanzee, has been with Will ever since he was born, and, with a new drug, he can think and react like humans. When Caesar finds himself subjected to injustice, he decides to revolt.

[@abc.animal5143]

That “NO” scene is incredible, every reaction to it has people shocked. I wish I was old enough to see it in theaters when it came out.

[@philrob1978]

I was there. I can promise you that every single molecule of air was sucked out of the room. I'm 45 and I don't think I've experienced such a reaction with an audience in a cinema like that before or after.

[@ryanswaynow]

It’s actually a super cool reference to the original planet of the apes movie series because in the backstory the apes revolted because one of them said no. But it wasn’t shown it was just spoken about.

[@abc.animal5143]

@@philrob1978 yeah I’ve heard from others that it was so silent at the moment

[@olivierroussin4432]

The goosebumbs are hype as hell

[@jonathancruz5932]

Everything is silent in the theater

[@Geth-Who]

This trilogy's absolutely freaking fantastic. This movie might be my fave just for his rise-to-power arc, it's completely amazing.

[@TheRedPeril]

Definitely the best.

[@just_tom00]

I love the 2nd one too. With the whole ape vs ave thing while theres some humans vs humans too. It’s also his last real connection to a decent human like the guy who raised him

[@stevecristian6932]

For me personaly this is the best trilogy, batman and spiderman are close

[@AndyT81]

It is a fantastic movie, especially made better if you've seen the old movies. I can't remember if it was advertised as a prequel or reboot but by the end of the movie it fits really well as a prequel. Edit And Im don't recall the explanation for why there weren't many humans in the old movies but this lays the foundation really well.

[@greyscalesx]

You can't even fathom the full silence in the theatre when he yelled ''NO !'' we were shook. One of the best trilogies ever made and who gets better with each movie.

[@seanromeramc]

There's actually a post credit scene in this film that details the global spread of the disease, and how screwed humanity is for the sequel. Honestly one of the best trilogies ever!

[@asahellt]

Yess, sad he missed it. That would explain how the apes were able to populate the planet cause humans sorta went extinct

[@QueenOfTheZombieApocalypse]

I know! I was yelling at my screen like nooooo you missed it! That’s such an important scene!

[@Jonathan-fu5hx]

Amazing how any movie reactor now would miss post credit scenes. Y'all should know better😅

[@AndyT81]

Yes. I love how it links to the events of the original movies.

[@ander5on118]

this trilogy is one of my favourites of all time. every movie is just so good. arguably get better as they go on too!

[@mattisolsenfenstad6267]

You should try watching the original planet of the apes movie first and then this trilogy again, makes it so much better

[@TheRedPeril]

ARGUABLY.

[@henrik971]

oh i 100% agree

[@getshwifty3101]

I do actually like Franco in serious roles. The moment Caesar says "Caesar is home." You can SEE his character going from amazement that he can actually talk, then his realization going from being 'Caesar's Caretaker' to 'Guest of the Ape King.' He does it really well.

[@humanoid251]

God that scene of Caesar yelling “NO!” for the first time is so fucken good!! I don’t know the context too well but that “damn dirty ape” line is a reference to the original and from my understanding people who knew that heard the line and were all “ah! Ah! He said the thing” and then Caesar spoke and they were just 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@AlextheHistorian]

In the first movie when charlton heston is captured and is being moved by the apes, he says "get your stinking hands off of me you damn dirty ape!" his delivery of that line is what made it so famous. Few actors who've said the line made it sound as good. Except in the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes, the line is turned around when a Gorilla general says "Get your stinking hands off me you damn dirty human!" that was pretty funny.

[@AndyT81]

To add. The humans cannot talk in the original films so a kind of role reversal. Charlton Heston is injured and cannot talk. His voice starts to heal and that line is the first thing he says but also the first time that the apes ever heard a human talk. Just a little context there.

[@phoenixkingtheo]

I feel that if this was a more “traditional” role as in not motion capture Andy Serkis would have been nominated for an Oscar for all three movies cause he absolutely kills it as Ceaser

[@bbcseriesfan]

Yup. He was definitely passed over, and yet he deserved all the awards.

[@LedSomeFlops]

I hadn't seen in the comments yet, but Cesar is played by Andy Serkis, who did Gollum in the LotR series. He is amazing at portraying all sorts of creatures.

[@Eowyn187]

He is. And that's coz he can emote so much with only his eyes. In any role.

[@tomasinamichele]

Andy Serkis deserved an academy award for this!

[@josephatherley]

Yep, there needs to be a mo cap category at the Oscars

[@13ean13urito]

I don't know if you noticed it either, but the scene where Caesar made all the other Apes smarter, he himself also got another dose of that formula

[@hamzah5643]

It's been said by anthropolgists that the main distinguishing factor between humans and other great apes is the spoken language, not tool making, or building things, cos lots of animals do that. When Caesar said NO, despite the fact he was clever, and able to problem solve, and even create art wasn't enough to consider him a "person" it's when he spoke that he rose to the level of an equal to a human. So that theory of language, was pretty much confirmed by the audience reaction.

[@dylancole1910]

And the fact that in reality it’s impossible for an ape form words vocally, even if they understand written and spoken language. I actually knew this watching it for the first time and seeing as they were not doing what the original did I was not expecting Caesar to actually speak. Then BOOM. My mind was blown. It was done so well, and I got chills. As far as unrealistic things in movies go, I’m ok with this because it made for a great detail that helped humanized these animals even more. Not that I didn’t care about Caesar before, but I cared a LOT more when it was clear he was developing the ability to articulate vocally. Whoever directed this film was a genius.

[@shibashibaa6665]

The ''NO'' and the scene where the Gorilla pushes Cesar out of the wide and takes the hits always gives me chills.

[@keyromi]

I remember seeing this in theaters it was the best experience when he said no there was an audible gasp through out the whole room lol everyone was so shook

[@biancamitchell2064]

The nostalgia is for real 🤭 brilliant reaction. Loves it 🌷💯

[@bernardmisuara]

I watch all planets of the apes and it's nostalgia

[@kylewestlake982]

When I saw this in theaters and Ceaser spoke, it went dead-quiet, and I broke the silence with a loud "YES!!" XD. I hope you watch DAWN ASAP!!!

[@bbcseriesfan]

I just did my annual marathon and ended up in tears on the floor, as I ALWAYS DO. Andy Serkis is just PHENOMENAL in this trilogy. When I met him, I had him sign a picture of him performing as Cesar with the phrase 'Apes together strong' and proceeded to cry all over him. XD

[@FireAndBlood96]

This trilogy is criminally underrated. Phenomenal movies all three and they do not get the recognition they deserve. So so so glad you're reacting to these movies!! 😁😁😁

[@nalbis]

one of my favourite cinema experiences ever was the moment caeser says 'NO!' absolutely shocked, gasps in the theatre.

[@johnblack3204]

I know I'm late to the party, but seeing this in the theater was an absolute blast. I will never forget the audience reaction to him saying no. The entire theater went silent and after about 2 seconds a loud guy in the back yelled, "holy shit!" Definitely one of my favorite theater reactions

[@ezelldaniels6064]

The trilogy to these movies is so awesome I went to see this one and 2 in theaters but not 3. All of them are very good movies brother. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@craigchalloner153]

This is one of the most underrated trilogies of all time. Stunning film-making

[@MiddleAgedBob]

This trilogy is probably my favorite prequel of all time.

[@TheNativeEngine]

It's interesting to hear a Brit's American accent. They can sound like the most unexpected American. Tom Felton sounds like a young Steve Buscemi.

[@megatnhbma6090]

Sure you gonna love this. "Love" this

[@osamahabib7547]

This trilogy is absolutely amazing!!!

[@Hauns91]

Fun seeing people watch this now on KZbin. These movies were a fucking blast in full theaters. So much hype every time. You could feel ALL the emotions in the theater from this trilogy. The bridge scene to the end was one of the coolest action scenes that year.

[@patrickl2098]

Genuinely one of the best trilogies in film, so glad to see you start these films.

[@CHUCKLENUTS323]

One of the best trilogy’s ever

[@Jamiiemac]

It’s such a fantastic triology, I’m not sure why it doesn’t have the same level of support!! The bit that always gets me is the Alzheimer’s, what the dad is going through is so relatable if anyone knows, like having good days and bad days, where they remember something but not others. Also when the dad sees Cesar for the first time, it’s so important after knowing how how people with Alzheimer’s react with kids/baby’s/dolls It can be so helpful, even if just for giving a few secs of normality

[@dogpooo8397]

Probs the best trilogy since LOTR. Love it. What they manage to do with CGI in these movies is mind blowing.

[@apolloskye17]

One of the best trilogies I've ever watched. The SFX and direction are absolutely awesome.

[@ItsCubz]

Each movie just gets better and better, enjoy the ride. Also Caesar is played by Andy serkis he played the vibranium smuggler in black panther and age of ultron, he’s in a motion capture suit

[@lyssalovesit]

This trilogy is great 💜 Super emotional though.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

You’ll love the whole trilogy! It’s great! Woody Harrilsons characters great and the other “good guy” that comes along is awesome and a bad ass.

[@derwahrehebi]

Cesar is one of the best written characters in Hollywood History

[@leemariebickham-johnson6690]

I’m from New Orleans where they filmed some parts of the movie. It was crazy walking downtown and seeing the cbd look like a dead land.

[@ramennoodles9623]

I absolutely love the evolution of the monkeys in this movie especially all these films are pretty good

[@devildiamonddog9052]

Finally I can't believe it!! Your in for a right good trilogy here

[@Geth-Who]

Also "When you bring out a packet of chewing gum at school-" I'm in BITS

[@liamisaac1152]

I went to watch this in theaters and you could just hear the whole room gasp when Caesar said no, then the silence that came after, you could hear a pin drop. Gives me chills everytime I watch

[@chefskiss6179]

This flick was way more brilliant than it had any right to be. Sometimes movies like this put other films to shame when you see how much thought went into the storyline as well as the individual moments. Even if flicks were 1/10 of this they would be so much better. Sometime I'm watching a flick and I think, huh, now if only they DID something with this :/ Can't wait for the next one from you!

[@ryanswaynow]

If you watch the original planet of the apes with Charlton Heston after watching this modern trilogy, they actually sync up really well. Especially since at the end of this movie if you pay close attention to the news report while the guys in the airport, you can hear a reporter talking about a space shuttle crew that is lost in space. They are actually talking about Charlton Heston’s character from the original movie.

[@istaybandedup]

Idk if he watched the mid credit scene

[@ewan2390]

really? i never noticed that but that's actually a really cool detail! so are these films showing what happened to earth whilst charlton heston was gone? i've only watched rise and the original but that's really fascinating!

[@lucasdolding6924]

@@ewan2390 No, the third and fourth film in the original series show what happened to the Earth. This trilogy isn't connected to the originals, though there are references to it like spaceship. The fourth of the originals is basically the same as this film but not as good.

[@trymex9168]

No hyperbole, these trilogies rank up them with LoTR trilogy. These movies are amazing

[@Attention..]

I don't know if anyone has said this but the scene where Caesar witness's Grandpa getting poked at. It is considered the most disrespectful thing to a Chimp and Caesar was really mad due to the poke and point.

[@theotherjake]

Lion King is literally Hamlet via Elton John songs - it’s a jam

Maurice always been my favorite in the series

Tbh this trilogy is nostalgic❤

The NO!!! scene is the most chilling moment ever.

Been waiting for this for so long, definitely my favourite movie franchise for sure such a good story to Caesar grow and it’s just crazy how good n detailed these films were 👍🏻

[@Melvitos]

You will see how this trilogy is incredible.

[@sophieeiguess210]

omg FINALLY i’ve been hoping you’d do this trilogy because it’s honestly one of my fave ever trilogies/franchises!! Andy Serkis DOES. NOT. MISS!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 just know this story is different to the original 60s films because in this, the apes are the experiment. in the originals, the humans are captured by the apes but there’s some great callbacks to the originals in this trilogy. “Bright Eyes” being Caesar’s mother in this, is a reference to one of the apes calling one of the humans “bright eyes” because of his blue eyes

[@serenitymonet8601]

This trilogy is soooo good

[@LourdessApekatt]

Ah yes...Cesar's legion.. why have I never made that connection until now lol

[@AmericanMumReacts]

All 3 movies are fantastic! 💚

[@KZ-kl8fx]

A new reason to be excited about Saturdays! This franchise is so good, I can confirm that you are not over reacting 😂

[@AnotherViewer]

There was an end credit scene that is rather important to the second movie. Also, in the background there are tv screens showing news footage of the launch of the ship from the Charleston Heston 1968 original movie. And of course many references to the 1968 movie with names of the apes and Tom Felton got to do the meme line from the 1968 movie.

[@TheworldisendingandImafrog]

Maurice,Rocket and Buck are the goats of Ceaser’s journey We wouldn’t have anymore movies if it wasn’t for Buck

[@lanewaldon6450]

Maurice the Orangutan might be one of the best characters throughout this trilogy and is definitely my favourite ape

[@jem29]

i have waited so long for this, i am so happy right now!!

[@KellyKels23]

Phenomenal franchise. I was a kid when the one Mark Whalberg did and I thought I loved that one, but this trilogy blew it out of the water for me. I do love animals though and can be partial to any movies that involves them going on rampages or taking over lol. If you enjoyed this one I’m sure you’ll enjoy the rest!

[@mnspnklb9889]

this trilogy is so good, watched the 3rd in cinema and it was so good

One of the few franchises where every movie is top tier!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@curtquinlan9870]

This is a really good trilogy. This movie has a lot of call backs to the original film from the '60s. In fact, this trilogy tells the story in a way that makes the original film a part of the same universe. The original "Planet of the Apes" from 196x is a classic, I hope you react to it some day.

[@FuzzyChesterfield]

It cracked me up when you said “he thinks he’s napoleon.” His name is Caesar! 😂

[@893trent]

"Caeser is home" 😂😂 so many good memes from that

[@grc3rb]

Original Star Wars, lord of the rings and these planet of the apes, are my favorite trilogies and watch them every year

I genuinely think these movies are incredible. But also when I go and tell people that the talking ape movies are masterpieces of cinema, I sound like a crazy person.

It's not connected to the original series of films, but there are references to it. The fourth film in the original series is very similar to this one in how it shows how it became the planet of the apes, but this film does it way better and tells a better story.

[@jodie3950]

This is an amazing triology! Ceasar's story just keeps getting better. So glad to see you react to it 🙌

[@dylancole1910]

One of the best trilogies I’ve ever watched. No- well, sort of. It’s not directly linked to the original films but lots of people consider it a reboot or a prequel series. It’s one of the best visually as well. On par with Avatar ( obviously, Avatar is a lot better but this is a very close second best). All this was done in Mocap, all the ape actors had stunt people and ape experts that helped them transform performance wise, it’s mind blowing. You should really look up the behind the scenes of this movie and also Dawn. This series is getting lots of attention lately and I love it, I can only assume it’s partially due to the rumor going around that a fourth film is currently in production ( if that’s true I’m really excited for that). My top five favorite parts of this film: 1. “ NOOOO!” No matter how many times I hear it or see it, instant body chills. unexpected on my first watch and loved seeing your surprised reaction as well. 2. Caesar riding out of the fog on the Horse. Another instant chills moment, so badass. 3. Big Gorilla takes one for the team. The whole sequence of the Gorilla taking down the helicopter and going down. 4. It may be little, but that look of absolute authority when Caesar pulls Will up. In that moment you don’t see him as the happy ape child, or the questioning/ moody teen. He has grown up, he is an adult who has full command over a whole colony of apes. It’s really amazing because in that moment you don’t really know what he’s going to do. 5. “ Caesar is Home” finality. Identity, and belonging. It’s satisfying as much as it is chilling. And also surprising, even after hearing one word not to long ago, you still don’t expect him to be speaking a three word statement in perfect human English. This film was so well done. Dawn and War are definitely step ups from Rise, but they all mesh together in one perfectly told story. Each leaves you more amazed at not only Caesar, but the civilization he has developed. You will love the next two movies. 😄

[@cabbage_cat]

APES TOGETHER STRONG

[@aaronboone8097]

This is without a doubt the 3rd best film out of the trilogy. Each one gets better and better! In my opinion this is the best movie trilogy outside of Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight trilogy, and original Star Wars trilogy.

[@sylnz97]

love those 3 films, rare case where the "reboot" is better than the original imo
