That moment in the ape sanctuary that you love so much is actually a combination reference to two of the original ape movies: Planet and Escape. The "dirty ape" line said by Taylor and Ceasar saying "NO!" as it was told by Cornelius when he explained how apes evolved. I agree. A classic moment for lover of the new film trilogy as well as the originals.

I've always appreciated the moment where Caesar is saying goodbye to Will and he says "Caesar is home" it's not a five minute speech, those three words say so much. Additionally, they set Koba up perfectly for the next movie.

When I first saw this movie in theaters back in 2011 with my family, it blew my mind with the incredible CGI effects on the ape characters especially Caesar. Oh, yes, Caesar’s introduction in the movie knocked me out of the part. Andy Serkis’s portrayal of the character was phenomenal especially the epic part when he first screamed his first word, “No!” This film made me fell in love with the entire franchise in the first place! I remembered being fearfully amazed while my mouth was dropped. It left me breathless…Mr. Serkis should’ve won an Oscar, he’s such an incredible actor, God bless him!

Also, for the siege on San Francisco, turn on the subtitles. It is easy to dismiss the orders Caesar gives as grunts, but if you listen closely (subtitles help) he's like delivering full blown battle orders that make use of each of the ape species' strengths. It is so subtle and missed in all the amazing eye candy, but Caesar went full PATTON during the siege of San Fran.

This is the first ever POTA film I saw. I borrowed a chromebook from the College Library for the weekend and fell upon this film in 2014 when looking for something to watch. And so started my insane fascination with this amazing franchise. This has such a close place to my heart. I remember what I was doing when watching Rise for the first time. I keep going back and forth between this and Dawn about what is my favourite ever POTA movie. I absolutely adore this movie. Caesar's story, the writing for his development is absolutely incredible. So simple but done perfectly well.

One thing that I’ve noticed is that most people only watch these movies once and walk away feeling like they just saw a fun B movie, which I find unfair. However, on the rewatch, when you can really dissect the movie, that’s where it shines. That’s when people can really enjoy who Caesar is and how great all of the many aspects and characters are in this film.

Caesar’s No also left me and everyone else in the theater speechless! I didn’t expect it at all. I thought having apes talk would be a step too far for a casual audience, but this movie did it so well! They only have Caesar talk, and it’s only a couple times for significant moments.

I was a kid when my dad showed me the original POTA I remember thinking how dumb the movie would be before watching it, boy was I wrong. This franchise is special to me because it taught me to never judge a book (or movie) by its cover. And when rise came out many people I knew who had never seen POTA movie were acting like how I was. Very quick to judge. I went to see it with my dad and we loved it. Not long after I convinced friends to see it and they were amazed by how good the movie actually was. They have been a fan of the new POTA films ever since. While rise isn’t the best in the trilogy it’s a special film for breaking new ground and restarting this once dormant franchise.

At the time this came out I was working for a movie theater. My boss arranged for me to attend a preview screening for local film distributors. Most of these guys were jaded, unsure if it would be worth pushing to their screens. I got verkempt as the title appeared on screen. Throughout the movie I'd lean over to my boss to tip him off to many of the callbacks to the original series. When Caesar hollered NO, these weary movie bookers were sold. I think one of them shouted, "F***ing awesome!" As someone who has loved the genius of the prosthetics, the CGI won me over.

I don't see a difference between performance capture compared to an actor who has a ton of makeup and prosthetics. Heath Ledger got an Oscar with absolutely no question but his character would not have been the same without the prosthetics and makeup. I know Caesar got 3 movies but it didn't really feel like enough. I would have liked to have seen how his ape society ran. We always saw it whenever there was a huge crisis going on. I'm also still amazed at how amazing Morrice looked from the beginning of this series. He's always been the most photo-real.

I think it's more to do with the fact that with a traditional performance, the actor on their own is what's being seen by viewers vs performance capture where it's been run through a team of digital artists first. There's no way to know for sure how much of the performance is enhanced by the VFX artists and how much is done by the actor. Hopefully it gets figured out one day!

A great first building block in a surprisingly brilliant trilogy. Every aspect is superb with each part clicking together and a superb cast -no cheap laughs or mocking of the originals. As for the virus, that particularly in its finishing minutes nails how a virus is transmitted and the speed it goes worldwide hitting every population hub. My only gripe is the lack of credit given to Pierre boulle which is criminal. As you rightly say --watching the apes is an obsession ....

The Caesar trilogy is one of, if not the best trilogy in decades, all three films are strong and the progression of the writing and character is phenomenal. For me, War is my favorite of the trilogy. . Matt Reeves took what was set up in this film, and turned Caesar's story into a Moses allegory. . The end of War parallels Moses being denied entry into the promised land. The avalanche that kills the soldiers is the Red Sea destroying Pharaoh's armies. . It's an amazing reboot for the franchise and leaves room for the Icarus to show up later.

Interestingly I still have a 2010 scifi magazine that refers to this movie as “Caesar: Rise of the Apes.” I like how the virus plot is going on in the background: Franklin gets his mask knocked off, later he sneezes blood on his clipboard, then a few scenes later he’s knocking at Will’s door all sweaty and pale, and sneezes on the neighbor. Then he’s found dead in his apartment. And finally the big reveal in the credits scene that the neighbor is a pilot, and his nose begins to bleed at the airport…. I still get chills watching the map light up as the virus spreads. And the way they decided to open Dawn in a similar manner.

Best part of the neighbor being a pilot is that it was secretly teased earlier in the film, has the scene where the grandpa relapse and gets into the neighbors car. The neighbor is yelling “how am I suppose to get to the airport!”. But you naturally ignoring what he said because he’s yelling at clearly confused old man, and Caesar thinking his friend is trouble.

I think the reason Tom Felton’s character is mean to the apes is because his dad Brian Cox makes him work there, and he hates it so he ends up taking it out on the apes. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a somewhat humanizing scene left on the cutting room floor that clarified this more.

I was part of the Vancouver shot scene on the Golden Gate Bridge set. It was built outside. It had so many cameras to capture all the action and mix it with the cg. I was lucky to get featured for a couple of split seconds as a passenger in a car with an ape screaming in my window. Just me and the guy in the silver mocap suit on screen. In my mind it was epic lol. It was in the extended trailer though!! It was really an ambitious project, and the final film did meet all my expectations, having grown up on the original 1970s films.

Saw this in the cinema when it came out and loved it, especially John Lithgow. This is a perfect example of how to do a reboot/remake, I would rank this movie along side The Thing, Scarface or Dawn of the Dead in that respect. What made this movie so special, it had characters and heart, something which is missing from so many modern remakes. Even at the time I noticed the CGI ran hot and cold, but did not care because I was enjoying the characters and story so much. This was Quentin Tarantino's favourite movie of 2011.

Caesar saying no is obviously my number one scene, but there are a lot of great ones in this film period. 2. Caesar growing up as he runs through the redwoods. It's such a beautiful sequence and it reminds me of Disney's Tarzan in the best way possible. When I saw it, I knew I was watching something special. 3. The apes awakening after Caesar gives them the virus, is a brilliant scene that is very underrated. Serious props must be given to the actors, because they make it clear the apes are seeing the world in a new light without a single word of dialogue. 4. The entire sequence of Caesar and his apes fighting their way through San Francisco. I especially love the shot of Caesar, Maurice, Rocket, and Buck standing on the trolley car. It was that shot in the thr international trailer that convinced me the apes are the heroes of the story. 5. The fight on the bridge is an extremely well done battle sequence, which of course ends sadly with Buck's death. 6. Caesar's bittersweet farewell to Will, and all his fellow apes standing in respect of the one who led them to freedom. Caesar climbing to the top is the perfect shot to end the film on.

I am honestly surprised at how good these new films have turned out to be. After the Burton film, my expectations were very low, but the new movies just got better and better as time progressed. And for me they have already stood the test of time. I have rewatched them all many times and they are still great. I highly suspect they were go on to become classics in their own right.

I know most people think Rise is the worst of the new trilogy, but I think it's the best honestly. I find it much more enjoyable to see Caesar go from an innocent protective child to a man ready to forge his and other apes' destinies.

That's not true. Many fans have said that War for the Planet of the Apes is the weakest. To be honest, a lot of fans don't think any of the movies in the modern Apes trilogy is the "worst." At best, some fans would say one of them is the weakest of the trilogy.

I love Rise because I think it has the strongest characterisation of Caesar in the trilogy. As much as I love Dawn & War, Caesar kind of gets sidelined in those movies due to the amount of characters and plot. Rise, for the most part, is Caesar's story, and I think it has the most emotional story out of the trilogy. Personally I think it's stronger than War as well.

I discovered your channel just yesterday and have been binging your PotA Movie Series and I really don't understand why so many people think that RotpotA is the "weakest link in the chain" (haven't had the chance yet to watch Kingdom)....for me it is the best of the original reboot Trilogy. Yes the other 2 gave us more if that post apocalyptic PotA Vibe and how it came to be, BUT for me the most interesting part of any long running Post Apocalyptic storyline is the beginning, how everything started and slowly turns into chaos and turns into the survival part. Also the scene where Buck gave his life fir Ceasar??? It's one if the best scenes of the Franchise...we as an audience know what's in the future for Apes and Monkeys and gorillas, so to see that this really loveable character dies at the very beginning, sacrificing himself for the greater good....that's amazing and only the second time we saw someone sacrificing himself for Caesar (first time, in a way being in Escape where Cornelius and Zira sacrificed themselves for Ceasar, making Bucks death a nice Hommage to Escape) So, at least for me RotpotA is the strongest of the new Trilogy

I loved this movie! My only problem with it is where did all the apes come from in the final battle? There weren't that many apes in that little ape sanctuary that they locked Caeser in and even though there were zoos with apes in them, could there be that many apes in the city?
@Ape-Nation
@Ape-Nation 9 ай бұрын
There were a pretty good amount of apes there, I think it just seems like there are a lot more at the end because they're out in the open vs crammed into a small sanctuary.

I definitely love this movie more than the normal amount 😂 I was 12 when it came out, went with my parents, one of my favorite childhood memories. I haven’t leg go since. Also when Cesar first spoke I was SHOCKED. I didn’t know about the previous movies, I didn’t know it would lead to ape society where apes talk normally. I was taking the movie in scene by scene with no expectations, and each time I realized I was watching something groundbreaking that would change everything at least for me in my heart!

I've never heard of discourse with Oscar's for performance capture actors. Seems like a duh to me that they should be eligible. Idk why the argument would exist. They are doing the exact same thing as any actor, if not even more. I watched this movie last night and found myself crying. Doesn't happen often, but a good story or characters does it for me sometimes. This movie is so human. It's cool that I felt that way when the main character was not a human lol

Have you read the original script that's available online? At least half of it was changed for the finished film. It's actually closer in tone to Dawn than Rise itself is. For some differences: 1. Will doesn't notice the green in Caesar's eyes until a year or so after taking him in. Caesar's mother does go crazy, but a chimp named Lucky is the one who breaks free and tries to attack the investor meeting. 2. Caroline's character was named Molly Stewart, and she doesn't hook up with Will until the second half of the script. She also works at the primate shelter, as the vet. 3. There are other orangutans at the shelter, besides Maurice. Not that big of a difference, just felt it bears mentioning. 3. Rocket contracts the virus after biting Caesar, becoming the first ape in the shelter to be changed. 4. There's a whole sequence where Caesar and Rocket break into the lab to find Caesar's mother. Rocket releases Koba, who ends up killing Franklin, the handler. 5. Will's reaction to the above makes him quite a bit less sympathetic than he is in the finished film, as he jumps to the conclusion Caesar did it, and actually tries to kill Caesar with a poisoned cookie( granted, there was some evidence pointing to Caesar, but the fact that Will opts to kill him like a rabid dog instead of asking him what happened is a pretty big mark against him). Cornelia ends up eating it and dies. 6. Rather than gassing the apes with the virus, Caesar cuts his palm and uses his blood to change the other apes. 7. Dodge isn't killed at the shelter, and is the one to ride along in the helicopter to point out Caesar to the cops. 8. Rocket is killed at the bridge instead of Buck, who ends up killing Dodge. 9. The ending where Will dies(which I understand was fully filmed, and part of the final cut, until the filmmakers changed their minds at the last minute and reshot the ending two weeks before the film came out). Jacobs is the first human infected by the Flu, and ends up spreading it around. It actually ends more or less the way Dawn starts, with several news stories about the virus and finishing with a closeup of Caesar's eyes. I don't know how much of the changes were because of Rupert Wyatt's input or the studio's, but the differences are noticeable. I love the finished film as it is and I think it's a great movie, but I wonder how the Dawn and War and maybe even Kingdom would have been affected had the changes not been made.

"How to reboot a franchise"? Keep ONE THING (the first talking ape is a chimpanzee given the name "Caesar"), and create a totally different saga, with different origins, characters, locations, and circumstances. And do NOT follow Tim Burton's lead... ;-P

I came to this series late - after they had all been out of theaters - and I desperately wish I could go back and watch them on the big screen during original release because this series is truly so indescribably good. I was recently talking to a coworker, who shares my appreciation of movies, and we came to the subject of epically incomparable film trilogies. I listed this one after LotR for my all-time favorite in terms of writing, acting, vfx, and overall memorability because I genuinely believe it is deserving of such a ranking. I don't know how these movies might have been marketed or anything else to have attracted the wider audience it deserved. Maybe it was never going to happen due to the image people have of the conceptual legacy of "Planet of the Apes." Part of the reason I didn't pay much attention initially was because I hadn't been very interested in most of the originals. I feel like that might have been a more widespread sentiment than anticipated, and again, i don't know how they could have combatted that. I do distinctly remember seeing a trailer for War and wondering if I'd been missing out on something awesome, which is what eventually got me to watch them. That almost Shakespearean degree of gravitas melded with LotR-style epic plus sci-fi concept plus these incredible characters. But I'm so damn glad that even in spite of the still somewhat niche - it seems - reception, they got enough love for Kingdom to become a thing. Thank you for these essays! They're deep and insightful and just further remind me why I adore these films so dearly.
