DUDE SAME!!!Thats one of my favorite cinema experiences ever dead silence followed by a reaction the mirrored the monkeys🤣People were like Wtf he talked!!😂
The third movie was brilliant. The humans are doing terrible things but it ends up being sort of like a dying animal kicking and screaming. The element of the virus taking speech is tragic, and Caesar himself is empathic to that. He never wanted humans to die off just to leave him alone. I would even argue Caesar, being the first smart ape and raised by James Franco, would have the most sympathy towards humanity out of the ape society. He basically fought the ape civil war on humanity’s side in the second one
Apes will do no different. Hate these movies acting like humans are evil by nature. Sentience brings qll the fhings humans have done. Apes would do the same thing
Yep and the apes don't even really win, it's not so much a war between apes and humans as much as apes trying to survive what's left of humanity while the humans hunt for them but mostly fight eachother and succumb further to the virus. Rise was perhaps a little less plausible with how the apes took on the humans there, but even then, it was handled pretty well, and I like that it's the apes who technically start the war.
I love how this is basically the ape version of the story of Moses. Caesar was born a slave but raised in the king's palace, frees his people... Even in the third movie, the avalanche wipes out the remaining humans (red sea wiping out the army), and finally Caesar leads his people through the desert to their Canaan and dies within sight of the promised land. Its insane how thought out it all is
I noticed so many jesus references in war for the planet of the apes, where Caesar is whipped and almost crucified on a wooden "cross", but in the shape of an X, not a T.
I’m so glad i’m not the only one who made that connection! I didnt even know the story of moses as well as you do, born a slave in the king’s palace. Adds an additional layer of complexity to the story. Great observation!
That last scene in the first movie between Will and Caesar always gets me. And that last line of "Caesar is home" always gets a few tears out of me. Such a good trilogy.
I always think of how much drama would have been avoided if Caesar had made Will do the hand thing to show he was subservient to Caesar.. I get that he's family but it would have been such a smart play.
Marvel also had some bloody amazing trilogies and was justifiably an audience darling until the last couple of years. Both Marvel and Apes can be adored as they should. It's not (good) Marvel's fault Apes is overlooked by people who are seriously missing out

Rise is definitely the weakest of the three, but it's really underrated. It's underrated as a scifi movie, as a character study, and as a prequel/homage to the original classic (that everyone should see once btw).
Idk, the way Rise builds to its conclusion is brilliant. I feel like it stands with its sequels pretty well, and its the one that I like rewatching the most.
I think it's because the CGI in the first one isn't nearly as good as in Dawn or War... rise just wasn't as immersive because of it. I love all three but I can see how some people might have found Rise a little goofy so they kind of wrote off the rest of the trilogy Edit: I think Rise is brilliant and I have no issues with it, I'm just saying what I've heard from some other people who have reviewed it
Nah, all three are of similar quality, Rise is just tonally different. If someone is dropping the trilogy after Rise, watching the next two won't help them.

@caleb4851 To put it simply, it should've been the War for the Planet of the Apes, not Ceasar's War. The trilogy should've been the Apes' story through and through, that's what made the plots so engaging, because it didn't feel like one person's fate would change, it felt like you were watching history unfold before your eyes throughout every scene.
@@bboi1489and you're really saying here Caesar's story wasn't engaging and that it wasn't the apes story simply because he's a central figure in how the apes rise up and find their place in the world they didn't want a war but the humans forced their hand not to mention what Koba has done as well since he started the war
24:49 I got some very sad news about that: in a deleted scene, the Colonel is talking to Caesar and how he met Malcolm and what happened was that Malcolm was really trying to convince the Colonel that the apes weren’t bad. What happened next was that the Colonel then tells Caesar that he killed Malcolm by shooting him. So this man not only took away Caesar’s wife and eldest son, he took away his good friend too. So that’s why Malcolm isn’t there!😭😭😭
Caesar: Do not worry, Maurice. You are home now. Apes are strong... With or without me. Maurice: Son will know who was father... And what Caesar did for us.
Same, very few movies make me cry, Saving Private Ryan and Forest Gump, literally being the only 2, but the last Ape movie real got me good. Ive also gone vegan since I watched them so feel like im gonna be crying even more xD
What's amazing is how well they did with this masterpiece of a saga despite the lack of a major fan base. This was never a Star Wars, MCU or Lord of The Rings. Heck, Avatar now has a greater fanbase. The filmmakers involved with these Planet of The Apes movies never compromised. They were given absolute control and they absolutely delivered. I'm still trying to get my head around all of the technical achievements and the incredible, dynamic, engaging and emotional story of Caesar. I cried like a baby when our hero died and he's an ape. And he barely speaks.
In a way, I think the creators of these films had the freedom to do what they wanted with the material BECAUSE the property was more obscure compared to something like Marvel or Star Wars. With those franchises, the studio puts so many mandates on what the film can be because it has to make money and there are so many expectations of it. Ironically, that protectiveness on the part of the studio limits creative freedom and leads to those movies coming out stale and unimaginative. The new Planet of the Apes movies, on the other hand, had no such expectations placed on them. The franchise had been effectively dead since the mid-70's. The first draft of Rise wasn't even a POTA movie at all; it was an unrelated story about the dangers of genetic engineering and keeping exotic animals as pets. It was only when he finished the first treatment that Rick Jaffa realized that the story could easily work as a prequel to the 1968 film, so he pitched it to FOX as such.
It would be very interesting if the new villain, Proximus Caesar, took Caesar's name as his family name to claim his throne. IIRC we see the same window symbol Caesar had in his house as the new symbol for his kingdom. Would be kind of cool how Caesar's name and legacy is twisted to give this new ape authority and power.
I really like how they didn't go with a generic "animals are better than humans", but instead showed how even they make mistakes. The trilogy gives them a humanity, and in doing so, gives them a propensity to mess up. To me, they are no different to humans in this trilogy, but the advantage they have is a smaller and tighter nit community which is something we inevitably lost. I see this as a cycle more than them exceeding humans, because they will inevitably spread out and develop different cultures and encounter the same issues we have. tl;dr - thanks for not making monke a mary sue
I recently watched the Planet of the Apes trilogy for the first time and it was literally the most beautiful trilogy I have ever seen. I feel like going back in time and kicking my younger self for not watching the movies earlier. The movies were so good I watched them twice in one day.
I was really surprised and shocked that the Planet of the Apes Trilogy didn’t won every single Academy Awards or Oscars or BAFTA Film Awards, nor every single movie awards or film awards after the ALL-Three films came out in theaters. But I think this trilogy itself was *Outstanding and A Visually Stunning Masterpiece and A Work of Art Trilogy* at the Time in Modern Cinema. But I really wish The Planet of the Apes Trilogy should’ve WON an Academy Award or An Oscar-Winning Award and also other film awards as well.
A last comment: that line from the first movie at the end when he says "Ceaser is home" still gives me chills. Andy Serkis was robbed multiple times of an oscar for that performance.
So I'm a mason (in small-town Canada, no less, so you know I'm ready for the fuckin' apocalypse) and I can accurately assess that it takes roughly only 8-10 years for plant life (especially trees, even their roots are fucking strong) to break through concrete. All they need is a few multiple winters of Earthquakes or storms battering and weakening the structure making cracks and then rainwater getting in and winter freezing it all over before the next thaw makes it all worse. Now repeat cycle for X amount of years. A whole skyscraper's foundation can collapse from that in less than 5 years and it all gives way for moss and such. All that to say: 10 years? When I watch the movie I think "unlikely but definitely not implausible" for it to look how it does. At the very least, there'd definitely be plants in the floors and bottom walls of houses and buildings and shit growing through cracks in roads (I don't think they'd almost already look like little forests like they do in the film unless shit was already planted there but I've never been to San Francisco). I'd also like to point out that the apes say in the film that they haven't seen Humans in 10 winters. That doesn't mean the apocalypse began 10 winters ago, for all we know it could be 12-15 years later. Much more reasonable for what's shown. The Last Of Us after 20 years I think is fairly accurate. Especially when you consider they also say in both continuities that they bombed the fuck out of the major cities during The Outbreak. They probably accelerated the reclamation by nature thanks to that. The most glaring one is a Will Smith film called I Am Legend. The bulk of the film is set less than four years after the initial apocalypse and yet New York City looks like a fucking forest in Times Square and most of its streets. Yeah, I don't think so unless you've got some wicked fucking limestone.
I was looking for this comment, I kept saying out loud to my phone "nooo, my guy, you think that took 50 years??" and the he showed the picture of the last of us being INSANELY more grown over with entire trees and ecosystems😂 My next door neighbors house growing up flooded and they ended up selling the property. We'll the new owner just tore down the house and was going to rebuild, but never did. In only about, idk 5-7 years their were pine saplings that were over 6,7,8 feet tall, tones of vines and underbush started to grow on what was previously a baren dirt/hard clay soil lawn. I guess people who haven't seen nature reclaim something first hand don't realize how quickly it hapoens!😂❤
@@heehoopeanut420 Its not like there aren't totally abandoned towns/cities for 40-90 years all across the world to look at today for this kinda shit (Pripyat in Ukraine, Shibatsu in Japan, Adamsburg in Nevada, Devil's Canyon here in Canada in Alberta).
I’d like to politely correct one statement you made in reference to Dawn. Maurice tells Caesar that it’s been 10 years since they were free, living in the Red Woods, but in the last 2 years they hadn’t seen any sign of humans. So it had actually only been 10 years total.
@@jdot634 Ah, my bad then, haven't seen the movie in over a year (though I've watched it enough you'd think I'd remember by now). My point still remains, I think their depiction of post-apocalyptic San Francisco is fairly accurate within their timeframe (I don't think it would be quite as bad as the film presents but it'd be overgrown to an extent) given the sparse amount of information I have on the city and we the audience also have on the world.
People really underestimate nature. There was a series detailing how long it would take for nature to reclaim the world if humans suddenly disappeared. The answer: its depressingly fast.
The Caesar trilogy reminded me of how interesting Sci-Fi can be. It's always the same thing and this Caesar trilogy is so unique and well done. People are sleeping on this series. Also Kingdom was amazing, absolutely has me excited for their next films!
I’ve personally seen what grass, vines etc can do in a matter of months if not kept up. I totally believed that’s how a city can look if left for 10 years
It was the 3rd film that really blew my mind because of the Virus. I always saw this Trilogy as just a new take on POTA, but when the Colonel says the Virus is taking away humans ability to Speak and Think. My Jaw dropped at realizing this wasn't a New Take of the Franchise, this was a Prequel the whole time and I just love it
My favorite trilogy and you hit all the points as to why it’s so good. I watched the old ones as a kid (I’m a genxer) and I was fascinated by the politics of the old ones and was justly horrified by Tim Burton’s version. I can watch any of these newer ones and cry and just love the hell out of these apes, but especially Caesar. Andy Serkis should’ve been awarded for his motion-cap performances. Exquisite acting. Love your channel, started following you with The Ones Who Live Recaps/analysis
Now I never made TWD connections to the Caesar/Reboot PoTA Trilogy but now hearing “My Mercy Prevails Over My Wrath” is what basically sums it up for Caesar when you think about it
I found myself wierdly attached to Rocket throughout the trilogy. He used to be one of Ceasar's biggest ops but now hes one of his oldest friends who's loyal to the very last. I wasn't sure if he was gonna die or not, unlike Maurice. Not to discredit Maurice, the guys an absolute g.
I've been looking for a good video essay on this trilogy for a couple months now. Unironically tell people this is one of my favs and I'm ridiculously excited for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Appreciate this work! Coming back to add that I love how organized your rating system is!
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of my favorite movies in general. Koba is such a brilliant, nuanced character, and one of my favorite villains of this century (the Troglodytes from Bone Tomahawk being, imo, the scariest villains of the century). Koba isn't even wholey wrong in his thinking either which is what makes him so intriguing. He's wrong about ALL humans being dangerous but its proved over amd over again that his skepticism is warranted and important to the thinking of the apes. Koba's dumb act at the armory is almost tragic and is truly scary as well. You're watching him completely degrade himself to survive but the level of cunning is unnerving
I loved koba, and even though I expected his full turn to the dark side, it's still got a strong emotional reaction out of me. Like, the scene where he killed the ape that wouldn't obey his command.... I was f****** STUNNED!
I was about 6 or 7 when the very first Planet of the Apes came out. I saw it at the drive-in with my Dad, uncle and cousins. This might have been my introduction to "horror" type movies and a lifetime fascination with the genre. I have seen all of these movies and was also blown away by the quality. It sure has come a long way. But, back then, it looked very real to a child and scared the crap out of me. Love your analysis! When you compared the apes to Rick, Carl, Shane... and I thought you were going to say Cornelius reminded you of Hershel. So I took a drink of tea and then spit it laughing when you said Daryl! 🤣🤣 I enjoy most all of your reviews, some things I don't watch because I haven't watched what you're covering. I also tend to agree with you (which my son finds amazing). I hope you will continue your coverage of Supernatural. Or even Dexter if you were a fan? Take care ✌💖😃
The planet of the apes trilogy is one of the few remakes in the past 15 years that I genuinely believe is what a remake should strive to be. I never liked the Mark Wahlberg one, but I oddly liked the original movie and the fever dream that was the sequel. The story of Ceasar portrayed by the always under-appropriated (he's finally getting the recognition he's sorely derserved in recent years) Andy Serkis brought so much life to the character and made me invested in a story originally about humanity losing its namesake and ceding, albeit unwillingly, control to the next species that we always downplayed as being inferior.
I agree, this trilogy is extremely underrated but I would disagree about the character development being “boring” in the first movie, the first was for sure my favorite because of the character development and of course the “rise” of the apes
Yeah, that kind of killed my ability to take his analysis seriously. Like if he missed the mark that bad with Dune, how can I trust the rest of his judgment to be well-reasoned?
I've loved the planet of the apes trilogy. Everything you've said summed it up perfectly. Dawn also has to be my favorite of the 3. Koba was certainly entertaining. I'm also someone who loved War of the Panet of the Apes. I remember going into theaters with my older brother. Took me to see it even though he didn't have to. It's such an amazing set of movies, and I can't wait for Kingdom!
The end of the first Planet of the Apes with Charlton Heston kind of lets you know whats going to happen in these movies with what happens to mankind. Its kind of a classic scene in cinema.
This video was recommended to me after I watched a “Game of Thrones five years later retrospective“. I had never seen or heard of your channel and after this video I looked at what else you had, let’s just say I will be spending my day with your voice lol
Very refreshing to see a positive take on war, I’m about to rewatch war after having seen rise and dawn these last two weeks so I’ll look out for the points you said and see what I think with a fresh perspective
The first scene in the third movie had me hooked right away and didn't lose grip on me the entire film. Amazing movie in its own right and an amazing trilogy overall.
Man, such a beautiful tribute to a special piece of film making. Glad you appreciated this, deserves so much more praise. New movie didn’t move me very much at all. This great trilogy can’t be forgotten!
the Caesar trilogies and the Kingdom one after that , are just simply amazing movies . It's really got that needs to be introduced in schools for students to write essays on because it's both inflective and reflective on human's many pockets of society and the mistakes we make over and over again whenever we have culture clashes nationally and internationally.
A phenomenal trilogy. I would rate the first as the highest, really sets up what could have been very goofy as very credible. Use of sign language and body language among the apes really keeps it grounded and prevents it from feeling camp. They slowly amped up the vocabulary of the apes, and that was the right way to go.
Not only is it the most underrated but it's the best trilogy in my opinion, every film is so well crafted and they all have their own different tone but still work well together to tell this story of apes rising to power.
And it's so rare to see one this. well. done.😭🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻❤️ even with their few flaws, as a series they work so so well, while being good by themes. I honestly think it's almost impossible the way other trilogies seem to fumble the ball no matter what when it comes to trilogies.
@@kuhpunkt Because when people talk about trilogies they hardly bring this trilogy up, they bring up the dark knight, lord of the rings or back to the future.
I went into Rise with no expectations or knowledge of the franchise, only that my friend liked it, and I was blown away by how brilliant it was. Continuing to smash expectations, this is probably the only series I can think of where the 4th installment is still great.
When I was a kid my dad and I went to see all the Planet of the Apes movies and that's when Charlton Heston became my hero!!! I loved this trilogy and agree with you 100%! REALLY enjoyed this video AND all the TWD references!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES please do a video on the old movies :)~~
Bro…I’m so glad I found your channel..thought I was one of the only ones who LOVED this trilogy…by far at least the most underrated trilogy of all time
I saw each of these 3 movies in theaters. First one I only saw because I was with my grandparents and we were bored. I liked it so much that I came back each time a new one came out. I’ve never seen the original. I’m planning on rewatching them.
How do we live in a world where a Planet of the Apes is far superior in every single way and a Star Wars sequel trilogy flounders completely? How is that possible?
I agree with you about how no one talks about this trilogy. I'm a part of the guilty party, and I do it a lot to movie franchises that contain more than three movies, regardless of the setup. (SW, LotR/H, PotA) 😅
IVE BEEN SAYING THIS!!!! I showed my kid these a few weeks ago and he LOVES them. These are way underrated and if you go in with 0 expectations its great. These are truly good action packed well written with some suspense built it. Just subbed !!!!!
6:59 Now, i saw this moment on DVD, at home. It was...... shocking to say the least. To say i was shocked was an understatement. I went absolutely CRAZY. It literally rewrote what any idea of how sci-fi was supposed to be. Cause most sci-fi was either aliens, or dinosaurs. But here, it was apes talking. And thanks to this scene, it not only helps me push limits on my creativity, but also taught me to never underestimate or overestimate anything. Movie, creature, or person
Dune has so far been knocking it out of the park but I would still have to give the edge to Planet of the Apes just because it's an original story (yes the IP is well established but these aren't remakes or retellings of existing stories). Still two amazing soon to be trilogies.
When I went to see Dawn at the theater, I'd recently started wearing glasses but forgot them before I left the house because my eyesight wasn't that bad and I only needed them for school or whatever when I needed to see detail far away from me, it just totally slipped my mind. Boy that afternoon those apes looked *real* in the soft-focus haze I watched the movie with.
I think it’s less so the realism and more so the objective quality. There is nothing ‘realistic’ about say Guardians of the Galaxy. It looks like a desktop background. That’s not what space look like. That’s not how any of this works. But it looks SO. DAMN. GOOD. It’s so pretty. It’s so detailed. It’s so well integrated. Then you have this Adobe Paint schlock in Thor 4 and Quantamania. It looks cheep and incomplete. Where is the money, Disney? Where is the damn money? You had $250 MILLION dollars and you turned in something a first year college student would create on the first try! CGI doesn’t have to look real or true to life. It just has to look good and not cheap.
Woah woah woah…can’t believe you’d shoot a stray at dune part 2 like that! I love the video and agree these movies are very underrated….but that shot at dune…my heart.
I certainly liked these movies as a kid lol. I think alot of people never really go too into them because the time in-between the movies was so long you sort of just forget about them. Glad they're getting the credit they deserve. Caesars first words "NO!" was so over dramatic I can't help but laugh evertime I see it😂
I like Rise the most I think. Has the most radical character development for Caesar starting as basically a child/pet into a leader of an entire race. Definitely the most underrated trilogy of all time. And arguably the most underrated character of all time.
Having watched kingdom yesterday. I agree one hundred percent about the evolution of society in a dissociated rapid advancement of the will of knowledge and unity. Watching the video to see your thoughts though now lol
It's an amazing trilogy, I just hope that Kingdom doesn't strip out the maturity of the franchise reboot. . 3 IS my favorite because it went so dark and internal.
these movies shook me and moved me deeply. some of the best writing, filmmaking in general, and just incredibly emotional story. they're pretty fantastic and i'm sad that they're so underrated and overlooked
As you said, I have only watched the Tim Burton movie, and these 3 later movies totally went under my radar... kinda.. I knew there was something there, but didn't even know there was a trilogy. Will check them out now. Also didn't know Andy Sirkis is in them.
One thing I never noticed before very recently is that you can clearly see Andy’s face underneath all the CGI. I never noticed it because I’ve only ever seen him in mo-cap, and o ly really saw his real human face on screen in Black Panther and more recently Andor. Now having familiarized myself with his face more closely, his features are suuupperrrr clear and prominent under the ape mask, especially in War.
The thing the first movie did that was so incredible to me was making me route so strongly for the apes, to the point that i was nothing but excited when they escaped and took over. I was routing for will ofc but other than him, i never once felt bad for what the humans were going through. Ceaser is genuinely one of the most compelling and sympathetic characters in all of film
I had the exact same expirence as you where i swore i had seen the third one but when i went to watch it nothing was familar. But it was so good and unforgettable i know for sure now i hadnt seen it.
I’ll never forget that “NO” in cinema, could hear a pin drop
One of the top movie moments of all time for me.
I could imagine how silent that place was
I still remember the audience gasps whenever I rewatch.

@caleb4851 To put it simply, it should've been the War for the Planet of the Apes, not Ceasar's War. The trilogy should've been the Apes' story through and through, that's what made the plots so engaging, because it didn't feel like one person's fate would change, it felt like you were watching history unfold before your eyes throughout every scene.
@@bboi1489and you're really saying here Caesar's story wasn't engaging and that it wasn't the apes story simply because he's a central figure in how the apes rise up and find their place in the world they didn't want a war but the humans forced their hand not to mention what Koba has done as well since he started the war
24:49
I got some very sad news about that: in a deleted scene, the Colonel is talking to Caesar and how he met Malcolm and what happened was that Malcolm was really trying to convince the Colonel that the apes weren’t bad. What happened next was that the Colonel then tells Caesar that he killed Malcolm by shooting him.
So this man not only took away Caesar’s wife and eldest son, he took away his good friend too. So that’s why Malcolm isn’t there!😭😭😭
Iirc there's actually a book/comic that shows this happening
@@drghostduck theres comics apart of the reboot universe? are they good?
@mansbestanky4017 I'm pretty sure they're considered canon to the reboot universe. I enjoyed them, but it's been a long time since I read them.
Caesar: Do not worry, Maurice. You are home now. Apes are strong... With or without me.
Maurice: Son will know who was father... And what Caesar did for us.
I was a kid when this trilogy started. The first one left me in awe and the third one left me crying for almost an hour. Easily my favourite trilogy
Same, very few movies make me cry, Saving Private Ryan and Forest Gump, literally being the only 2, but the last Ape movie real got me good.
Ive also gone vegan since I watched them so feel like im gonna be crying even more xD

@@John.AR.Activism I hated Saving Private Ryan, I do not like propaganda films.
What's amazing is how well they did with this masterpiece of a saga despite the lack of a major fan base. This was never a Star Wars, MCU or Lord of The Rings. Heck, Avatar now has a greater fanbase. The filmmakers involved with these Planet of The Apes movies never compromised. They were given absolute control and they absolutely delivered. I'm still trying to get my head around all of the technical achievements and the incredible, dynamic, engaging and emotional story of Caesar. I cried like a baby when our hero died and he's an ape. And he barely speaks.
The planet of the apes definitely has a fan base you just don't hear about them because they aren't as whiny as other fan bases
Right, dawn made a ton of money. Just shows what happens when you lead with a great story.
In a way, I think the creators of these films had the freedom to do what they wanted with the material BECAUSE the property was more obscure compared to something like Marvel or Star Wars. With those franchises, the studio puts so many mandates on what the film can be because it has to make money and there are so many expectations of it. Ironically, that protectiveness on the part of the studio limits creative freedom and leads to those movies coming out stale and unimaginative. The new Planet of the Apes movies, on the other hand, had no such expectations placed on them. The franchise had been effectively dead since the mid-70's. The first draft of Rise wasn't even a POTA movie at all; it was an unrelated story about the dangers of genetic engineering and keeping exotic animals as pets. It was only when he finished the first treatment that Rick Jaffa realized that the story could easily work as a prequel to the 1968 film, so he pitched it to FOX as such.
24:18 Fun fact, the German title for this movie is - no joke - Planet of the Apes: Survival
Rick Raptor hello my beautiful primeval prince❤️
Dude I was thinking how they should’ve called that. Unaware of that, how cool.
Do NOT sleep on these films. Best trilogy in recent memory.
I’d say it’s the best trilogy since The Dark Knight trilogy in my opinion

@@curtiszilla9192 But the last movie in that trilogy sucked.
@@LordMalice6d9the first two movies make it apart of the conversation regardless imo
The “Rick Grimes of Apes” had me rolling 😂
"APES DO NOT WANT WAR!!! "
“That’s a hell of a lot more than 80!”
“APES WIN WAR! APES STRONG, TOGETHER!”
“BUT WILL FIGHT IF WE MUST!”
**TOGETHER APES STRONG**
"HUMAN HOME... APE HOME. DO NOT COME BACK!"
In Rise when Ceaser goes "NO." Is one of the most chilling and visceral scenes in movie history
It would be very interesting if the new villain, Proximus Caesar, took Caesar's name as his family name to claim his throne. IIRC we see the same window symbol Caesar had in his house as the new symbol for his kingdom. Would be kind of cool how Caesar's name and legacy is twisted to give this new ape authority and power.
From what I’ve heard, pretty sure that’s exactly what’s going on with Proximus!!
@@jdot634saw the film, that's exactly what was going on with proximus
@@chaboudo3915 cool! I’m going this weekend and I can’t wait
bro was spot on
Bruhhhhh the new movie is so mid. Should of left it at three, I’m kinda mad now
I really like how they didn't go with a generic "animals are better than humans", but instead showed how even they make mistakes. The trilogy gives them a humanity, and in doing so, gives them a propensity to mess up. To me, they are no different to humans in this trilogy, but the advantage they have is a smaller and tighter nit community which is something we inevitably lost. I see this as a cycle more than them exceeding humans, because they will inevitably spread out and develop different cultures and encounter the same issues we have.
tl;dr - thanks for not making monke a mary sue
I recently watched the Planet of the Apes trilogy for the first time and it was literally the most beautiful trilogy I have ever seen. I feel like going back in time and kicking my younger self for not watching the movies earlier. The movies were so good I watched them twice in one day.
I was really surprised and shocked that the Planet of the Apes Trilogy didn’t won every single Academy Awards or Oscars or BAFTA Film Awards, nor every single movie awards or film awards after the ALL-Three films came out in theaters.
But I think this trilogy itself was *Outstanding and A Visually Stunning Masterpiece and A Work of Art Trilogy* at the Time in Modern Cinema.
But I really wish The Planet of the Apes Trilogy should’ve WON an Academy Award or An Oscar-Winning Award and also other film awards as well.
Oscar is a nickname for the Academy Awards. They're not 2 different awards.
A last comment: that line from the first movie at the end when he says "Ceaser is home" still gives me chills. Andy Serkis was robbed multiple times of an oscar for that performance.
So I'm a mason (in small-town Canada, no less, so you know I'm ready for the fuckin' apocalypse) and I can accurately assess that it takes roughly only 8-10 years for plant life (especially trees, even their roots are fucking strong) to break through concrete. All they need is a few multiple winters of Earthquakes or storms battering and weakening the structure making cracks and then rainwater getting in and winter freezing it all over before the next thaw makes it all worse. Now repeat cycle for X amount of years. A whole skyscraper's foundation can collapse from that in less than 5 years and it all gives way for moss and such.
All that to say: 10 years? When I watch the movie I think "unlikely but definitely not implausible" for it to look how it does. At the very least, there'd definitely be plants in the floors and bottom walls of houses and buildings and shit growing through cracks in roads (I don't think they'd almost already look like little forests like they do in the film unless shit was already planted there but I've never been to San Francisco). I'd also like to point out that the apes say in the film that they haven't seen Humans in 10 winters. That doesn't mean the apocalypse began 10 winters ago, for all we know it could be 12-15 years later. Much more reasonable for what's shown.
The Last Of Us after 20 years I think is fairly accurate. Especially when you consider they also say in both continuities that they bombed the fuck out of the major cities during The Outbreak. They probably accelerated the reclamation by nature thanks to that.
The most glaring one is a Will Smith film called I Am Legend. The bulk of the film is set less than four years after the initial apocalypse and yet New York City looks like a fucking forest in Times Square and most of its streets. Yeah, I don't think so unless you've got some wicked fucking limestone.
I was looking for this comment, I kept saying out loud to my phone "nooo, my guy, you think that took 50 years??" and the he showed the picture of the last of us being INSANELY more grown over with entire trees and ecosystems😂
My next door neighbors house growing up flooded and they ended up selling the property. We'll the new owner just tore down the house and was going to rebuild, but never did. In only about, idk 5-7 years their were pine saplings that were over 6,7,8 feet tall, tones of vines and underbush started to grow on what was previously a baren dirt/hard clay soil lawn.
I guess people who haven't seen nature reclaim something first hand don't realize how quickly it hapoens!😂❤
@@heehoopeanut420 Its not like there aren't totally abandoned towns/cities for 40-90 years all across the world to look at today for this kinda shit (Pripyat in Ukraine, Shibatsu in Japan, Adamsburg in Nevada, Devil's Canyon here in Canada in Alberta).
I’d like to politely correct one statement you made in reference to Dawn. Maurice tells Caesar that it’s been 10 years since they were free, living in the Red Woods, but in the last 2 years they hadn’t seen any sign of humans. So it had actually only been 10 years total.
@@jdot634 Ah, my bad then, haven't seen the movie in over a year (though I've watched it enough you'd think I'd remember by now). My point still remains, I think their depiction of post-apocalyptic San Francisco is fairly accurate within their timeframe (I don't think it would be quite as bad as the film presents but it'd be overgrown to an extent) given the sparse amount of information I have on the city and we the audience also have on the world.
People really underestimate nature. There was a series detailing how long it would take for nature to reclaim the world if humans suddenly disappeared. The answer: its depressingly fast.
The Caesar trilogy reminded me of how interesting Sci-Fi can be. It's always the same thing and this Caesar trilogy is so unique and well done. People are sleeping on this series.
Also Kingdom was amazing, absolutely has me excited for their next films!
I love how you compared Caesar to Rick Grimes multiple times Lol
When watching your content I often feel that sense of wonder I did in college. What an eruidite creator you are! I so admire your work.
❤️❤️❤️
I just found this Chanel today and if that isn't a reason to subscribe I don't know what is! I really enjoyed this video and what a great observation.
I’ve personally seen what grass, vines etc can do in a matter of months if not kept up. I totally believed that’s how a city can look if left for 10 years
It was the 3rd film that really blew my mind because of the Virus.
I always saw this Trilogy as just a new take on POTA, but when the Colonel says the Virus is taking away humans ability to Speak and Think. My Jaw dropped at realizing this wasn't a New Take of the Franchise, this was a Prequel the whole time and I just love it
My favorite trilogy and you hit all the points as to why it’s so good. I watched the old ones as a kid (I’m a genxer) and I was fascinated by the politics of the old ones and was justly horrified by Tim Burton’s version. I can watch any of these newer ones and cry and just love the hell out of these apes, but especially Caesar. Andy Serkis should’ve been awarded for his motion-cap performances. Exquisite acting.
Love your channel, started following you with The Ones Who Live Recaps/analysis
Now I never made TWD connections to the Caesar/Reboot PoTA Trilogy but now hearing “My Mercy Prevails Over My Wrath” is what basically sums it up for Caesar when you think about it
If you’ve seen how Caesar kills Koba, you know how fucking crazy that shit was
I thought it was badass when he killed Draco in the first movie
I found myself wierdly attached to Rocket throughout the trilogy. He used to be one of Ceasar's biggest ops but now hes one of his oldest friends who's loyal to the very last. I wasn't sure if he was gonna die or not, unlike Maurice. Not to discredit Maurice, the guys an absolute g.
I've been looking for a good video essay on this trilogy for a couple months now. Unironically tell people this is one of my favs and I'm ridiculously excited for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Appreciate this work!
Coming back to add that I love how organized your rating system is!
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of my favorite movies in general. Koba is such a brilliant, nuanced character, and one of my favorite villains of this century (the Troglodytes from Bone Tomahawk being, imo, the scariest villains of the century).
Koba isn't even wholey wrong in his thinking either which is what makes him so intriguing. He's wrong about ALL humans being dangerous but its proved over amd over again that his skepticism is warranted and important to the thinking of the apes.
Koba's dumb act at the armory is almost tragic and is truly scary as well. You're watching him completely degrade himself to survive but the level of cunning is unnerving
I loved koba, and even though I expected his full turn to the dark side, it's still got a strong emotional reaction out of me. Like, the scene where he killed the ape that wouldn't obey his command.... I was f****** STUNNED!
I was about 6 or 7 when the very first Planet of the Apes came out. I saw it at the drive-in with my Dad, uncle and cousins. This might have been my introduction to "horror" type movies and a lifetime fascination with the genre. I have seen all of these movies and was also blown away by the quality. It sure has come a long way. But, back then, it looked very real to a child and scared the crap out of me. Love your analysis! When you compared the apes to Rick, Carl, Shane... and I thought you were going to say Cornelius reminded you of Hershel. So I took a drink of tea and then spit it laughing when you said Daryl! 🤣🤣
I enjoy most all of your reviews, some things I don't watch because I haven't watched what you're covering. I also tend to agree with you (which my son finds amazing). I hope you will continue your coverage of Supernatural. Or even Dexter if you were a fan? Take care ✌💖😃
this entire trilogy is mind blowingly good, so was this review, got yourself a new subscriber
The planet of the apes trilogy is one of the few remakes in the past 15 years that I genuinely believe is what a remake should strive to be. I never liked the Mark Wahlberg one, but I oddly liked the original movie and the fever dream that was the sequel. The story of Ceasar portrayed by the always under-appropriated (he's finally getting the recognition he's sorely derserved in recent years) Andy Serkis brought so much life to the character and made me invested in a story originally about humanity losing its namesake and ceding, albeit unwillingly, control to the next species that we always downplayed as being inferior.
I agree, this trilogy is extremely underrated but I would disagree about the character development being “boring” in the first movie, the first was for sure my favorite because of the character development and of course the “rise” of the apes
He was saying he thought that as a kid watching it for the first time
How is it extremely underrated? Those are critically acclaimed movies...
That jab at dune is criminal, good vid though, I have loved these films for so long and they have never gotten the recognition they deserve
Yeah, that kind of killed my ability to take his analysis seriously. Like if he missed the mark that bad with Dune, how can I trust the rest of his judgment to be well-reasoned?
@@evolving_doreThe first 2021 Dune movie was boring.
I've loved the planet of the apes trilogy. Everything you've said summed it up perfectly. Dawn also has to be my favorite of the 3. Koba was certainly entertaining. I'm also someone who loved War of the Panet of the Apes. I remember going into theaters with my older brother. Took me to see it even though he didn't have to. It's such an amazing set of movies, and I can't wait for Kingdom!
This earned a new subscriber.. I’m shook at the quality
The end of the first Planet of the Apes with Charlton Heston kind of lets you know whats going to happen in these movies with what happens to mankind. Its kind of a classic scene in cinema.
This video was recommended to me after I watched a “Game of Thrones five years later retrospective“. I had never seen or heard of your channel and after this video I looked at what else you had, let’s just say I will be spending my day with your voice lol
Best review content out there, criminally underrated. Awesome to listen to
Very refreshing to see a positive take on war, I’m about to rewatch war after having seen rise and dawn these last two weeks so I’ll look out for the points you said and see what I think with a fresh perspective
The first scene in the third movie had me hooked right away and didn't lose grip on me the entire film. Amazing movie in its own right and an amazing trilogy overall.
Just binged all four in this series last week.
I can’t believe that the monke movies are actually some of the best stories in cinema of our era.
War, Dawn and Rise.
In that order. Reeves hit home runs with the sequels.
Having said that, I do love Rise. A quality triliogy...
Rise is the best, dawn is the worst
I think most agree that the second is the best tho? @@louieduarte7436
Man, such a beautiful tribute to a special piece of film making. Glad you appreciated this, deserves so much more praise. New movie didn’t move me very much at all. This great trilogy can’t be forgotten!
11:28 Maurice is most definitely Herschel
GOD IVE BEEN SAYING THIS TRILOGY IS AMAZING FOR YEARS AND NOBODY GETS ME BUT YOU GET ME YAYYYYYY THIS IS SO GREAT
Bruh, that is such a fact. I remember watching part 3, but when I watched it the second time, I could not recall any of the scenes.
the Caesar trilogies and the Kingdom one after that , are just simply amazing movies . It's really got that needs to be introduced in schools for students to write essays on because it's both inflective and reflective on human's many pockets of society and the mistakes we make over and over again whenever we have culture clashes nationally and internationally.
The Caesar trilogy is phenomenal! Everything about these films is amazing! Can’t wait for Kingdom!
A phenomenal trilogy. I would rate the first as the highest, really sets up what could have been very goofy as very credible.
Use of sign language and body language among the apes really keeps it grounded and prevents it from feeling camp. They slowly amped up the vocabulary of the apes, and that was the right way to go.
I’m happy to have been here when the reboot started. Caesar is one of the greatest characters in cinema.
THANK YOU for advocating on the greatness of these movies
Not only is it the most underrated but it's the best trilogy in my opinion, every film is so well crafted and they all have their own different tone but still work well together to tell this story of apes rising to power.
And it's so rare to see one this. well. done.😭🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻❤️ even with their few flaws, as a series they work so so well, while being good by themes. I honestly think it's almost impossible the way other trilogies seem to fumble the ball no matter what when it comes to trilogies.
How is it the most underrated? Explain that.
@@kuhpunkt Because when people talk about trilogies they hardly bring this trilogy up, they bring up the dark knight, lord of the rings or back to the future.
@@jermainehaslam5634 Even if that were the case - this trilogy is critically acclaimed... calling it underrated is just crazy.
I went into Rise with no expectations or knowledge of the franchise, only that my friend liked it, and I was blown away by how brilliant it was. Continuing to smash expectations, this is probably the only series I can think of where the 4th installment is still great.
When I was a kid my dad and I went to see all the Planet of the Apes movies and that's when Charlton Heston became my hero!!! I loved this trilogy and agree with you 100%! REALLY enjoyed this video AND all the TWD references!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES please do a video on the old movies :)~~
Bro…I’m so glad I found your channel..thought I was one of the only ones who LOVED this trilogy…by far at least the most underrated trilogy of all time
How is it underrated?
The *Planet of the Apes* Caesar Trilogy is *A MODERN CULTURAL PHENOMENAL MASTERPIECE and A WORK OF ART in Cinema.* ✨
Your channel is the perfect level of randomness for me it's perfect
Kingdom definitely live up to the last 3, that movie was great.
I saw each of these 3 movies in theaters. First one I only saw because I was with my grandparents and we were bored. I liked it so much that I came back each time a new one came out. I’ve never seen the original. I’m planning on rewatching them.
How do we live in a world where a Planet of the Apes is far superior in every single way and a Star Wars sequel trilogy flounders completely? How is that possible?
Because star wars only exists now to be a money machine whereas planet of the apes touches on really meaningful and relevant subject matter
That random sub bass at 21:30 woke me up as I was drifting asleep, this is the sound design I like to see
I agree with you about how no one talks about this trilogy. I'm a part of the guilty party, and I do it a lot to movie franchises that contain more than three movies, regardless of the setup. (SW, LotR/H, PotA) 😅
No one talks about this trilogy? What?
goosebumps anytime Caesar yells “no” and “go”
IVE BEEN SAYING THIS!!!! I showed my kid these a few weeks ago and he LOVES them. These are way underrated and if you go in with 0 expectations its great. These are truly good action packed well written with some suspense built it. Just subbed !!!!!
When I rewatched the 3rd one a few weeks ago I also swore I had seen it before but for the life of me I couldn’t remember anything about it
6:59 Now, i saw this moment on DVD, at home. It was...... shocking to say the least. To say i was shocked was an understatement. I went absolutely CRAZY. It literally rewrote what any idea of how sci-fi was supposed to be. Cause most sci-fi was either aliens, or dinosaurs. But here, it was apes talking. And thanks to this scene, it not only helps me push limits on my creativity, but also taught me to never underestimate or overestimate anything. Movie, creature, or person
and now we have "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes"
11:03 They really did Koba dirty with this shot😭
My favorite franchise right now.
But, DUNE is probably gonna overtake it with the 3rd movie.
I watched Dune 2 three times in theatre 😂
Personally, without minimizing Dune's merits. Dune: Messiah MUST be outstanding and groundbreaking for me to prefer it over Planet of the Apes.
Dune has so far been knocking it out of the park but I would still have to give the edge to Planet of the Apes just because it's an original story (yes the IP is well established but these aren't remakes or retellings of existing stories). Still two amazing soon to be trilogies.
Period!!
When I went to see Dawn at the theater, I'd recently started wearing glasses but forgot them before I left the house because my eyesight wasn't that bad and I only needed them for school or whatever when I needed to see detail far away from me, it just totally slipped my mind.
Boy that afternoon those apes looked *real* in the soft-focus haze I watched the movie with.
I never understood the unrealism complaint for sci fi or just fiction in general. It's made for entertainment
I think it’s less so the realism and more so the objective quality. There is nothing ‘realistic’ about say Guardians of the Galaxy. It looks like a desktop background. That’s not what space look like. That’s not how any of this works. But it looks SO. DAMN. GOOD. It’s so pretty. It’s so detailed. It’s so well integrated. Then you have this Adobe Paint schlock in Thor 4 and Quantamania. It looks cheep and incomplete. Where is the money, Disney? Where is the damn money? You had $250 MILLION dollars and you turned in something a first year college student would create on the first try! CGI doesn’t have to look real or true to life. It just has to look good and not cheap.
I always loved these movies growing up, but I haven't fully appreciated them until seeing the fourth this year.
Love the chanel. WTF DID YOU SAY ABOUT DUNE.
😅 there’s more life in the Apes eyes than there is in any character in Dune
@@thethriftytypewriter alr you have a point (dune still slaps tho)
Woah woah woah…can’t believe you’d shoot a stray at dune part 2 like that! I love the video and agree these movies are very underrated….but that shot at dune…my heart.
I know. The way he casually threw shade at Dune 2 😭 why??
Dune slander will not be accepted in this chat
Such a solid trilogy!
Awesome content btw bro, ive always watched for twd vids and had no idea you reviewed other films etc.
So awesome!
I certainly liked these movies as a kid lol. I think alot of people never really go too into them because the time in-between the movies was so long you sort of just forget about them. Glad they're getting the credit they deserve.
Caesars first words "NO!" was so over dramatic I can't help but laugh evertime I see it😂
That's in keeping with the original lore, saying no to the slave masters wes more symbolic than literal.
.
I still think that it earns that NO
24:18 The german name for it is "Planet der Affen: Survival"
Best trilogy ever made is Back to the Future trilogy
It's good, but it's not better than LOTR.
I like Rise the most I think. Has the most radical character development for Caesar starting as basically a child/pet into a leader of an entire race. Definitely the most underrated trilogy of all time. And arguably the most underrated character of all time.
LETS GO MONKE ❤
Having watched kingdom yesterday. I agree one hundred percent about the evolution of society in a dissociated rapid advancement of the will of knowledge and unity. Watching the video to see your thoughts though now lol
It's an amazing trilogy, I just hope that Kingdom doesn't strip out the maturity of the franchise reboot.
.
3 IS my favorite because it went so dark and internal.
That’s my worry too. This new film is under Disney, too, so ya know. Hit or miss lol
I loved all three and can’t wait for Kingdom. I hope Kingdom lives up to the Caesar films.
A 36 minute video essay on planet of the apes? Seems like a waste of time
GOLD MAN SPOTTED IN THE WILD
I didn't get the joke even though I just watched your video on the subject before this
these movies shook me and moved me deeply. some of the best writing, filmmaking in general, and just incredibly emotional story. they're pretty fantastic and i'm sad that they're so underrated and overlooked
As you said, I have only watched the Tim Burton movie, and these 3 later movies totally went under my radar... kinda.. I knew there was something there, but didn't even know there was a trilogy. Will check them out now. Also didn't know Andy Sirkis is in them.
One thing I never noticed before very recently is that you can clearly see Andy’s face underneath all the CGI. I never noticed it because I’ve only ever seen him in mo-cap, and o ly really saw his real human face on screen in Black Panther and more recently Andor. Now having familiarized myself with his face more closely, his features are suuupperrrr clear and prominent under the ape mask, especially in War.
@@nicoleg2544 Nice. I watched the original (1968) and am going to watch the others.
This was my favourite trilogy when I was younger.
The thing the first movie did that was so incredible to me was making me route so strongly for the apes, to the point that i was nothing but excited when they escaped and took over. I was routing for will ofc but other than him, i never once felt bad for what the humans were going through. Ceaser is genuinely one of the most compelling and sympathetic characters in all of film
Great video. It’s criminal you haven’t seen the first one at least. I love the old movies so much. Great sci-fi.
I had the exact same expirence as you where i swore i had seen the third one but when i went to watch it nothing was familar. But it was so good and unforgettable i know for sure now i hadnt seen it.
