Tom Cruise Wants to Play an Ape in the Planet of the Apes Series




Planet of the Apes Producer Compares Apes to Batman Begins

Looks fantastic. The snowy images and the modern military equipment going against the apes makes it look so distinct from the previous films - and the opening on the beach visually tying it into the original film! Wow!

It's been successful enough to have three films so far, but I really think this Planet of the Apes series is underrated with the culture at large. They're awesome films and should be a bigger deal.

Woody Harrelson Gets Insanely Candid on Sex, Drugs, 'Apes' and Those Han Solo Firings

Few franchises are patient enough to craft the buildup to something like 'War.'


All Hail Caesar In Summer’s Crown Jewel Blockbuster

This movie was amazing.



We had The Shape of Water trailer, which I at first thought was going to be a Bioshock movie trailer from the way it started out and then it looked like a Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot, only to turn out to be a Del Toro thing. We'll see. It does look interesting.

Two separate trilogies in recent years have gotten better with each entry and they both came to an end this year: solo Wolverine and modern-day Apes.

This was fantastic. Serkis gives a phenomenal performance, and Harrelson is one of the best, if not THE best, human characters in this new series. Is it a little bit predictable? Yes. In broad strokes. But it's all in service of a character piece that completes a journey started in Rise and incorporates all the consequences of those events to make everything feel like it has weight and consequence. I have nitpicks, but they're all not only minor, but they are in service of the larger story and themes and many, if not all, have plausible explanations that we just didn't get explicitly shown as the audience.

This has probably been my favorite series over the past few years and though it's sad that this might be the end, perfect trilogies are becoming increasingly rare now that franchise fever is in full swing and I'm thrilled to have a trio of movies so immensely enjoyable that I can't wait to watch them all back to back when I get the newest one on home video.

5/5.

Yeah I saw this Thursday night and was blown away. Fantastic! Just as great as DAWN. I can't remember the last time the 3rd movie in a trilogy was this good.

I'm seriously ready for a straight-up PLANET OF THE APES remake next. They've set it up beautifully.

[Dr Kain]

I think you mean Captain America as Wolverine doesn't have a good trilogy.

you know all i feel is just a big sense of indifference about this movie..... is that normal?

I love that there are no human characters to get attached to. It proves that the people behind Bayformers are full of "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" when they claim there needs to be a human character on screen at all times for the audience to relate to.

[Henry88]

sorry to say i hope to see the one true bomb in the last of the ape movies.

[Moonlight SY-3]

I am really looking forward to this movie, but I just found it's not opening here in Japan until October 13...WWWHHHYYYY???
I'll probably have the Blu-ray before then!
