The Planet of the Apes Trilogy... 7 Years Later

This trilogy is so underrated. I almost didn't gave it a chance due to my prejudice, thinking this is just another monster/alien invasion movie with apes instead. Oh how wrong I was! Catching 'Rise' on television with my mom got us interested, then 'Dawn' made us invested. While 'War' was not the most satisfying ending, it was a raw look at rage and still optimistic towards the future. The complexities of each character really goes beyond your regular sci-fi flick; it is a story about apes that revealed so much about humanity's darkness and capacity for hope. The 2nd and 3rd film made me trust in Matt Reeves, no questions asked, and so hype for The Batman. He always pushed an already complex themes to even further depths of darkness, without forgetting the core morality of his characters.

[@thegoldman25]

I couldn't have said it better!

[@pascalfernandes6957]

Endingen ar never satasfying enough. Becaus we all knew realisticly its only temporary. Rally is a end satasfying enough. The only Endingen that sacraficed me Personen was the end of Harry Potter (Books as it git the Main thenes better acrose then the movies) and the end of the Xehanort Story in Kingdom Hearts 3. War was also satasfying to me.

This is exactly what I wanted live action Transformers movies to be. A film series where the non humans are the main and aren't treated as secondary characters or a joke. The Planet of the Apes trilogy could have easily fallen into this trap and have the apes become secondary characters in their own film. But no Matt Reeves, Andy Serkis and everyone else took the risk that non human characters and be well written and three dimensional as human characters are normally portrayed

Dawn could have been much better if they made it longer and shown more details. Also the Humans in Dawn are just extremely stupid. I enjoyed it the least from this trilogy.

[@Elemento0420]

I always viewed Koba as not acting out of love for apes but out of hate for humanity. In Rise, he showed clearly distain for them during experiments. At the end of the film, he takes pleasure in pushing Jacobs, the businessman in the helicopter, off the bridge. In Dawn, he shows that same glee when killing 2 humans with guns. He treated Ceasar as a traitor for showing compassion for humans. Koba even killed Ash, a fellow ape, in cold blood for not killing a human.

[@jimmynickles804]

Great breakdown. 100% agree.

[@motherplayer]

That line has also still stuck with me. "Ceasar gone. Apes. Follow. Koba. Now."

[@randyschwaggins]

Yeah. It's a monkey dude.

[@caldw615]

He didn't care enough about his own kind to overtake his hatred for humans. He was willing to kill Caesar, the one who freed him from his previous torture and accepted him as family, just so he could rile up the others into attacking the humans. He pushes other apes aside to grab weapons or push them off a horse in the attack on the human settlement just so he could charge in himself guns blazing. He killed Ash (who was essentially a child/teenager in terms of ape years) for not blindly conforming to his hatred. He only cared about the apes in so far as they could be of use to his main goal of getting back at humanity. Thing is, in a way he is right to not trust humans and to want to be more decisive than Caesar but he basically acted like the same humans who tortured him. He lies, he promises good things to those who put trust in him, he clambers over his own kind just to achieve his goals. "You are not ape" is a powerful line because Koba became as bad as the humans he hated.

[@jimmynickles804]

@@caldw615 Great assessment. I fully agree!

[@anishsingh2848]

Also wish Gold Man pointed out one last thing in Rise The scene between Will and Caesar where Caesar utters his 2nd and last English phrase of the movie "Caesar is Home" and Will after seeing and experiencing everything across the 3rd act finally recognizes and lets Caesar go and be his own man with his own people not bounded by his or anyone else's rules because he agreed with him that Caesar is home and accepted him just the way he is even if it took him all this time Which makes Caesar coming back to his old home and seeing the videos of him as a baby and Will talking and playing with him in Dawn all the more sadder Despite not being the best father Caesar truly did loved him in his own way despite knowing he needs to be his own person When asked who the man in the video was he simply replied "A Good Man" I am so stoked for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and this new trilogy Its gonna be epic

Koba and Dreyfuss have the same set of priorities, but there's a huge difference on how they order them. Both want survival and see the other side as monsters; both love themselves and their people, but Dreyfuss loves his people more than himself, and Koba loves himself more than his people.

Most underrated trilogy I absolutely agree.

[@Gantros]

There’s a book called Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm, that fills the gap between Rise and Dawn, but also goes into Koba’s origins, and it is even worse than what we saw in the movies. When he was young, he was raised in a primate research lab with his mother. The scientist taught them both sign language and their keeper was kind. Unfortunately, the keeper was replaced with an abusive man who beat his mother to death in reprisal to the scientist reprimanding his abuse of Koba.

[@thegoldman25]

Sheesh, I never knew that

[@Gantros]

@@thegoldman25 Also in the book, it goes into Dreyfus’ history as San Francisco’s police chief who left office prior to the Golden Gate incident to pursue politics, becoming mayor during the early days of the Simian Flu. There is a lot of good material in novel and comic form that fills in gaps between films and gives detailed back stories to major characters that weren’t shown.

I thought Ceasar not killing the Colonel wasn't out of mercy, but the opposite. The colonel wanted to die, so his vengeance was denying him a "mercy kill."

To me, it was how his character arc concluded. Instead of letting his vengeance drive him to kill the colonel, he decided not to, because as to not let his hated consume him.

I totally agree 👍🏽 most people see it merely as a sign of mercy and compassion but it’s a lot deeper than just that simple thought by Ceaser to “spare him”

I recently watched them, too. They're really great movies. I love the campy originals, even the weird Tim Burton one. These ones really make the idea of apes taking over the world seem possible. And they did it right when it came to releasing them. They waited 3-4 years between each one, while other studios would've tried cranking out one every year. Also, just to throw it out there, the 1968 film is based on a French novel from 1963 and takes some liberties with its adaptation. Not to mention, Will is putting himself in some serious danger bringing a chimp into the house because even without being genetically enhanced, chimps will turn on their trainers or handlers at a certain age. It's like once they mature, they become violent and will rip your face off.

Your read of Ceaser's decision not to kill the Colonel is so incredibly different from mine. I read it as Ceaser was very much prepared to pull the trigger, but when Ceaser saw that the Colonel was already suffering a fate worse than death - infection with the virus - Ceaser chose to take his revenge by letting the Colonel continue to suffer. The Colonel killed himself because the virus, the thing he was trying to defeat, was replicating inside him.

Something that I found myself liking a lot thinking back on Dawn is the choice to have put Franco's character out of the film, because it ended up giving Caesar a much less easy way for him to regain some sense of trust in humanity again without having to bring back an old human character he had a bond with.

[@thegoldman25]

Agreed. I would've loved to have seen Will but it was probably the right choice

[@TotalFiction18]

Amazing work as always brother. Always learn something new from these despite this trilogy for example being one of my favorite ever! Did you get to see the new installment yet? if so what did you think

[@joshhudson7413]

War is one of the most emotinal movies i've ever seen

[@wiztansupercell2512]

It's not an adaptation... it's a prequel

[@codyjacobs6899]

I keep hearing that people don't really like Will that much, but I feel like he did a really good job. You can tell that he has a hard time with the pet vs. Child talk because despite truly loving Ceasar, and imo he does truly love Ceasar, he definitely doesn't see Ceasar as his son. He let the distrust of animals that everyone around him has get to his head, despite him and his father having watched Ceasar grow up and both developing a true relationship with him. I love my cats so much and it would destroy me if something were to happen to them, and will genuinely spend money I don't have to make sure they are happy, but if they got smart enough to rival our intelligence and possibly communicate how the hell would I know the right way to react to that? I'm sure they'd know I love them and that I just want them to be safe, but knowledge also leads to an understanding of what you don't have which for any form of pet would very clearly be "freedom". I think they did a good job of portraying the way their relationship transformed from father and son to owner and pet and it was Will's inability to stand up for how he viewed Ceasar that led to his change in attitude toward Ceasar. Will is the perfect example of "if you do nothing then you are still part of the problem". Sorry this is so long winded, but I love these movies so much, the best way to describe what I just elaborated on and most actions every character takes in these movies is that they are all so incredibly "human". I think a lot of movies try to let their heroes make mistakes, but don't do a good job at portraying how they reach that mistake and there are so many "mistakes" in PotA that are so understandable.(except for the penitentiary, that place is terrible and I genuinely think Will's character would at least try to get Ceasar relocated at the first sign of abuse or try to bring the abuse to light. He doesn't see him as human, but he doesn't dislike or feel indifferent about him by any means. Tldr: i freaking love these movies and there is a severe lack of character driven stories done this well these days and it is so refreshing.

[@skydivingintofiction7532]

[@thegoldman25]

@@thegoldman25 it’s really good

The ending to this trilogy, War, was the one of the best endings of all time. Caesar started out as a pet. When he gets taken from Will, he unleashes his intelligence and leadership skills to cause the ape uprising. The reason he does this, just because he wants freedom. He also wants to do what’s right for the apes. Getting to the forest and being free is what is right for them. In the second film, Caesar really just doesn’t want violence. He wants to protect his apes. Koba is the only reason this movie reached its climax. After the fight between Caesar and Koba, he still hesitates to drop him. Again, he doesn’t want violence. But he realized that the apes would be safer without Koba. Koba was a menace, and would most likely have a freak out and kill another ape or multiple. He drops Koba, for the good of the apes. In the third film, Caesar still regrets what he did to Koba, he has visions and dreams about him. He also is only fighting in this Human/Ape war for the protection of the apes. Koba started this war and killed lots humans, not Caesar. Later in the film, Caesar is tortured and not given food or water. Then near the end, he has a chance to kill the Colonel. Then I’m going to go back to this, Caesar doesn’t want violence. He only fights for the apes. He doesn’t want to kill the Colonel becuase in this part, the Colonel is powerless. He has a chance for revenge, but would that make him any better than Koba? Caesar spares him. He can’t pull the trigger. Nevertheless, The Colonel kills himself. Shortly after, Red Donkey sees that Caesar will do anything for the sake of these apes. Then finally, the apes find a home. Caesar sees that his mission is over. Caesar has done what he was born to do. Then he goes to internal sleep. Just because he has died does not mean his legacy is over. I hope that’s what kingdom is going to mention. (Yes, I have not seen it)

[@Verflextundzugenatzt]

Great video bro

[@thegoldman25]

Appreciate it!

[@AtticusLex]

Greatest trilogy this century.

[@jonbodhi]

I think you are WAY too harsh on Will. What is he supposed to do? He’s in an unprecedented situation: an ape with human (or greater) intelligence isn’t something society is going to accept. People would FREAK at seeing a chimp roaming the streets; I know I would because I know how violent and dangerous they can be. Seeing one on a leash wouldn’t help, because I’d KNOW that chimp is stronger than whoever’s holding the leash. WE know Cesar is kind, intelligent and gentle, but no one else is going to buy that. Will made the best of his situation.

[@CrashingSpyro93]

Favorite to least favorite Dawn, War, and then Rise, but all 3 are really good.

[@iamone27legion]

I try not to compare. Let each stand on it's own merit's. Hoping they start making them longer. 150 minutes to 180 so they can go deeper in the story and characters. Otherwise, great so far. Dawn being my favoriite. Will see how Kindom goes. Biggest complaint is the time release spacing for each movie. If they are making huge profits, 2+ billion gross, why not do them back to back each year or two. Will they do a tv series with a decent budget? Last of Us, Fallout
