I was an animator on the first two films at Weta. I’m really happy you’re enjoying these films. Just so you’re aware, animators, modelers, character riggers and the facial team add A LOT to these characters, performance wise. I had shots that the Mocap was completely broken and had to be animated from scratch. We’re always enhancing the performances regardless of functioning Mocap. It’s not just a plug and play situation.
The entire trilogy is great. I would probably rate it: 1. WAR 2. DAWN 3. RISE As an aside, noticed you haven't reacted to Edge of Tomorrow yet with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Maybe throw it on a Patreon poll. Great movie.
God, Blue Eyes just getting murdered in the first act was the single most upsetting moment of the whole franchise. All the buildup he had in Dawn. All his character development, realization of Koba's actions, his moral dilemma and maturity into a worthy successor to his father... And it's all unexpectedly taken away in an instant. Though, given Blue Eyes represented the future of the younger generation, I suppose it works for the film's favor too: highlighting how the horrors of war robs great potential from a future. At least Maurice and Rocket made it 🥺
Yo, my thoughts exactly!! I was just saying how I felt like the director was willing to trash everything with Blue eyes including his arc in the 2nd (which is by far my favorite) and then .. that's what he gets. For the sake of the Moses storyline the director wanted for Caesar. Felt unfair to me honestly
Fun fact, Koba isn't a chimp like most of the other apes but instead is a bonobo, which are famous for how peaceful and docile they are in the wild compared to chimps which are notoriously violent, both to each other and to humans.
@@dracodracarys2339 Possibly? But that would mean that Koba had a wife that was never seen or mentioned by anyone before hand. Theres a good chance he's just a random bonobo. But it would be interesting if he was somehow related to Koba
@@dracodracarys2339 I've seen it suggested that Proximus isn't 100% Bonobo. I'm no expert but from what I remember Chimps and Bonobos can interbreed - the theory entirely hinges on the fact Proximus is absolutely MASSIVE for a Bonobo, which are usually ~30cm/1ft shorter than a Chimpanzee.
This is a excellent trilogy back when great writers, great actors, great CGI and great directors came together to produce blockbuster movies. Something they are missing so much now.
There's still good movies out there, some are the best movies I've ever seen, but you just gotta look a little deeper than what Hollywood is shoveling.. but yes, as a trilogy, this is up there with the best of all time..
@@StayFractalesqueSadly even back then movies werent very good either. The absolute slpp we're fed these days make it seem better but the 2010s were pretty bad too, they were saying the same things back then that you're saying now.
If you guys are curious to know what happened to Malcom in the last movie, apparently he died offscreen like Will. But instead of dying to the virus, Malcom was trying to convince the colonel that the apes are good and he didn’t have to kill them. So the colonel killed him for siding with the apes.
Yep. Theres a deleted scene where Colonel McCullough actually explains this to Caesar. Despite the lack of vfx, it sucked seeing Caesar so heartbroken over his friend's death
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. You can beat this, ik you can. You are strong & bad-@$$. Cancer ain't $#*t but a weakling. You got this. My Love & Support goes to you.
These movies are so incredibly well made. I'll never go over how much character Caecar has. Everytime I see him I end up in awe over how much integrity and respect he commands with just a look. I'm psyched for the new movie coming out. It'll be interesting to see where it goes with Caecar being gone.
War was phenomenal Woody Harrison as the Colonel was truly menacing the CGI got even better and bad ape was the such a stand out so excited for kingdom this may
I was so mad this movie didn't win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects (lost to _Blade Runner 2049)._ Because the CG apes in this film look TOO realistic.
..how does one even choose between one or the other anyways? ..when the VFX are this clean and invisible behind powerful storytelling, it really comes down to subjective preference.. 2049 definitely deserved some recognition after not being able to make the numbers against its 250m production cost alone, but War deserved it too, so.. 🤷♀️
@@StayFractalesque There are some times where one movie receives an award that I would've preferred another movie had won, but I can at least see why the former had won that award. For example, when _The Jungle Book_ (2016) won Best VFX over _Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_ and _Doctor Strange._ But I can admit _The Jungle Book's_ VFX were the most consistently good, with _Rogue One_ being held back with the uncanny CG recreation of Tarkin and _Doctor Strange_ being held back with how cartoony Dormammu looked at the end. But there are also awards where I cannot see how this one film won an award that should've gone to another. For example, I was so pissed off when I heard _How To Train Your Dragon_ was only nominated for Best Original Score, but lost to _The Social Network._ I'm pissed because it's like, did _Social Network_ even HAVE a musical score?!?! Whereas the score to _HTTYD_ has been regarded as a masterpiece due to how melodically simple yet orchestrally complex it was and how it literally told a story.
well you have to understand that the most locations in this movie were real. there were actual men hitting on horses with mocap suits. while blade runner 2049 had 80% visuals all CGI. also there are other aspects which would take me 20 pages to explain 😂 but end of the story blade runner is what inspired denis (director of DUNE) for dune i mean you can see resemblance. see every shot of blade runner in desert
i think the oscars have been going for more aesthetic VFX that pairs well with epic cinematography, rather than character VFX, its been pretty noticeable. a few expections: the jungle book and godzilla minus one. but i know Dune 2 will absolutely win it in 2025 because that's exactly what the oscars are going for.
The Colonel's major flaw is that he equates losing the ability to speak with "reverting" to a primitive state. However we are given two prime examples of how this isn't true. First, as you guys noted, Caesar is speaking almost constantly and in full sentences in this film. Despite this he is allowing his base emotions to override his tactical mind and fuel his need for vengence, like Koba did. Meanwhile we have Nova who has lost her ability to speak yet maintains her personality and compassion. She even begins to sign showing that she is still intelligent. I think this shows that the Colonel was short-sighted in his analysis of the disease's mutation. Furthermore, when Caesar finds the Colonel in his quarters after he contracts the disease, we see he has been drowning his sorrows. I think this shows that the Colonel realizes that even though he can't speak any longer, he still possesses his faculties. This in turn means that he full on murdered his own son, who wasn't a primitive animal. He now knows his son was still fully himself, but just not able to expess it. If he had given his son some time to recover, he would have been just like Nova. I think that is why the Colonel wants Caesar to put him out of his misery. Great react videos though. I love this trilogy and was so happy to see them covered on the channel!
Judging by Kingdom for the Planet of the Apes it does seem infected humans eventually do go primitive. They bring up that the human girl there is "smarter and different", implying most of humans at that point are just feral caveman-equivalents.
There’s a great moment that wasn’t filmed for the movie which is in the book that had Malcom and his family going to the colonel to try and prevent the war. The colonel then has them executed and leaves it as an example for Caesar who then becomes bitter and his relationship with humans becomes strained again.
I appreciate how these movies refuse to deviate in its path from the original Planet of the Apes with Charleston Heston (who BTW played Moses in the Ten Commandments in 1959). The evolution of the Apes and the de-evolution of the Human Race comes in perfect alignment to the story that leads to the original movie. I just wish all writers of “prequels” would follow this path and not stray off to create their own interpretations. That is how you kill a franchise. Great review, guys. You are one of my favorite reviewers!❤❤❤
Obligatory histroy buff correction, Paul Revere never said "The English are coming". In fact many of the people he would've shouted to would've been English. He did however pass on the message, although not by shouting it to anyone and everyone, "The regulars are coming out" in the towns he went to on the way to Lexington.
Also remember, Ceasar is the only ape that had BOTH of the ALZ formulas in him. All the others only have the 113 while he has the 112 AND 113. That's another reason why he speaks better than the rest.
I remember being consistently impressed with the entirety of the "_____ for the Planet of the Apes" movies. Every movie I saw in theaters, every time i went in without much expectations, and every time i was blown out of the water
Steve Zahn's performance deserves more praise. I'm curious how the story will develop the evolution and regression in the next movie. Great reactions to a trilogy that hits all the feels. 🤘
César, l'un des meilleurs personnages de fiction jamais écrit. Il est d'une telle justesse, d'une telle poésie et surtout d'une grande humanité. C'est ça qui est dingue, malgré le fait que ça soit un singe, on ressent son tiraillement et le fait que ca soit un personnage torturé.
César était un personnage tellement incroyable à suivre. Ils lui ont donné tellement de profondeur et de but que cette fin la rend vraiment déchirante.
I'm sooo happy that ya'll finished one of the all-time best trilogies. That first half wrecked me when Caesar lost everything, going into captivity, even slavery. Only rise above to gain his ascension as a legend for his ape family to live free. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set 300 years after the death of Caesar. Ape civilizations greatly advanced yet the sins of the past will threatened the perfect euphoria. The rediscovery of coexistence between the simian & homosapiens.
Man, you cannot imagine how happy I was to see you guys react to this trilogy. I am so happy that you did. My favorite scene in this movie, was when Caesar and the Colonel are talking. Especially after the Colonel tells Caesar that he is so emotional and how he is, "taking this way too personally!" Also, if you look at the similarities between them, the Colonel is essentially Caesar but if he didn't have the morals.
Andy Serkis spoke recently about the new one Kingdom of the planet of the apes and he says everyone will be blown away by the story and what happens next. I can’t wait. I love Noa the protagonist in it already just by watching the trailer . Take care 😘🏴
In regards to Caesar verbalizing more, I think it partially has to do with his greater age as an enhanced ape, having been so from birth. His exposure to ALZ-113 when he released it in the ape sanctuary may have accelerated his development, but he has a good 8 years of development prior to this. He essentially has had more time to evolve.
You guys continue to amaze me. Your empathy is so genuine. I've had to develop a hard bark over the years but it is refreshing to find truly decent people even with something simple as a reaction
Allow me to just put this out there….i think you guys are great, you dont only make the movie watching enjoyable but somehow give a feeling that we or atleast me is watching it with you. The way you guys interact throughout and point out scenes, or themes, or the way the characters act or portray is truly a real reaction. Keep it up guys. Secondly, im a huge fan of how you both get engaged, no matter the scene…could be bad, could be sad and sometimes very frustrating but you both express that just like anyone else watching at home. I am subscribed to your channel and since ive come across you both i look forward to the movies i have seen to watch with you guys. Keep it up guys and may just suggest you goodfellas if you haven’t, its based on a true story and its a great movie. Much love y’all
I love this trilogy so much! After watching your reactions to the movies it made me realize many things about the movies that I didn't notice the first time I watched them. I love hearing your comments and how well you perceive the scenes and characters. Pointing out or thinking of things I've never thought of before! You guys got me loving this trilogy even more and for that... thank you!!!
You must watch - the silence of the lambs 1991 - snatch 2000 - the last samurai 2003 - prestige 2006 - django 2012 - the hateful eight 2015 - heat 1995
I didn't like this movie much because Blue Eyes and Cornelia were killed. Luca's death was terribly sad as he died to save Caesar's life eariler in the beginning of the movie. It was the saddest film in the Trilogy, knowing that it was Caesar's last movie towards the end of his days.
I love Caesar, and this trilogy very much. I remember our Bible class showing us this trilogy and praising Caesar as a compassionate and caring leader, how to handle conflict and betrayal within the clan and restoration moving forward.
I just remind you that Koba was filled with hatred, and his hatred needed to express itself against humans but against apes as well... Don't forget he threwAsh over the stage and kill him because he wanted to follow Caesar, Koba shot Caesar, put fire in the apes camp risking the lives of several apes, he didn't care at all... Koba became hate... Humans were just a pretext for him to release it... Koba didn't think, didn't feel, he just gasping for violence against whoever it was
You guys are the best comentators on TH-cam... Insightful, funny and with tons of charisma! Thank you for watching this trilogy (and every single other film you have) you guys rock!! Saludos desde Venezuela, de verdad son los mejores!
Yeah, if you watch the entire franchise it becomes very apparent how biblical / mythological it is. The scene in the beginning when he walks through after the battle and they all bow to him like he’s a prophet. Caesar’s story mirrors that of Moses - starts out rescued as a baby, raised with a privileged upbringing, is exiled (ie sent to the ape prison), becomes leader of his own people, frees them from bondage, establishes a new colony, overcomes internal strife and rebellion, brings them to the promised land but because he broke one of the commandments (by killing Winter) he is only allowed to bring them to promised land but not actually join them. Caesar’s story parallels Moses. Caesar could very easily be seen as an ape variation of Moses or at heavily inspired by him.
I LOVE how invested you two are in these movies. I always seem to forget how genuinely great these films are -- they are so underappreciated. Even the CGI is absolutely amazing, and I'm a grump when it comes to CGI.
There all such phenomenal films! For me (Ari) Dawn takes number one and for Denise it's War. It speaks volumes of the quality of every one of these that people have different favorites but think that overall all of them are good!
One of the few trilogies where each installment is better than the last.. I do like Dawn slightly more too, there's just slightly more depth in Dawn because there's more grey morality on both sides.. where-as in War, there's no good humans at all, and even the traitor apes are being forced against their will, unlike the truly traitorous Koba, what with his political maneuvering and diabolical false flag assassination attempt.. Dawn makes one think about intelligence in general, and how convergent evolution probably always leads to the same outcomes once sentient..
I love Ari’s ability and willingness to see and appreciate the point of view of the antagonist, even if they are unlikeable. I wish more reactors were like that. Then again, maybe it’s because this isn’t your first time watching this? I am curious if this is also how you reacted when you first saw this.
honestly, I really love how they managed to make the Apes so "human" and how evil can be found in all sides. Super excited to see the next entry with the new film coming out.
For the ones that don't know, Planet Of The Apes is based on a French book from 1963. The movie that closes resembles the book (with some deviations) is Tim Burton's 2001 version, including the end when human survivor flies back to Earth just to find the world doesn't have humans, only apes, and the world resembles out own. Curious thing, the books starts with two astronauts that discover a message that tells the story of what happens, in the end it shown that the two astronauts are chimpanzees.
I absolutely agree with the decision Caesar made in not killing the Colonel. For one, it would be like giving into his hate which would be basically the worst of humanistic flaws. But secondly, it would be giving the Colonel what he wanted and proving him right in his world view about humans and apes in comparison. The Colonel was already infected and was sinking into a state of animalistic basics. It is poetic justice. It would have ruined the moment for Caesar to have just killed him. Karma was going to work. Let it. Kind of a left field comparison but it reminds me of the Ali fight with George Foreman where the mighty George Foreman started to tumble from the effects of the rope a dope strategy and Ali's knockout flurry. There was a moment where Ali was cocked back for a final blow but held back because it was so monumental to allow the beauty of Foreman tumbling to the canvass to fully play out with Ali just standing over him after everyone saying Ali had no shot of beating him. Ali was a 6-1 underdog in that fight. Hitting Foreman on the way down would've ruined the beauty of that fall and Ali instantly understood that. Now we have all those iconic shots of that moment forever for history. Caesar shooting the Colonel would've ruined the moment. It now forever stands as poetic justice.
Steven Zahn plays Bad ape. Always loved every performance that guy did. From that thing you do, to Sahara, to even silly movies like strange wilderness and the ridiculous 6 and so on.
The great Terry Notary is the true secret weapon of these movies, so wonderful throughout the entire trilogy as Caesar's loyal lieutenant and best friend Rocket. It's somewhat similar to the relationship that Andy Serkis had with Notary in real life, since Notary worked as the movement coach for all of the "non-human" races in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings/Hobbit trilogies, and also helped Serkis to develop the physicality of Golem, and as a result they formed a very close bond. So when they made these movies Notary and Serkis worked together to mentor the other actors and really bring the apes to life, and the fruits of their labours together really paid off spectacularly here.
I love the Colonel so much as a villain. I am personally drawn to him because I imagine if I was a human in that situation. I would totally understand the Colonel's desire to save the human race through questionable acts. But also at the same time, nature has its course.
I love that the moment Caesar dies, the first one running back to Maurice is Rocket. People talk about Caesar's arc, but Rocket has the best character development of the trilogy.
I love this series. Does anyone else noticed the trope of gorillas dying and sacrificing themselves? It's so easy to hate the colonel because I mean let's face it he's not a good guy. But he's a very scary villain because he believes so whole heartedly and he does not waver from his belief. Im glad Maurice and Rocket survived. I've yet to see Dune 2 but that and the fourth planet of the apes are the 2 movies I'm most excited to see in the upcoming future. But mostly the 4th apes movie
Buck is still the saddest one. He only got to be free for a little while and dies when he was almost free, for Caesar's sake. He had the power of intelligence for only a few days, and he used it in the most tragic way possible.
My husband and I saw Rise in theaters. We liked it but it didn't click with us where we had to watch the rest. We finally watched the last 2 on streaming then we watched them all with you guys. I think Rise is my least favorite even though I do love the scene where Cesar speaks for the first time. It's a toss up bestwen the last 2. Dawn is very well done and shows how 1 bad person or ape, can cause so much hurt and destruction. War just killed me to watch. Cesar loosing his wife and a child is haunting. That stayed with me for a while. And Woody Harrelson plays such a good bad guy. That monologue about his son sickening as it is, to me portrays that he broke. He was already messed up but that just finished his journey to crazy. Thank you for this journey. Watching them back to back has given me a whole new perspective on these. We love watching movies with you and look forward to what's next.
People talk about Avatar and Lord of the Rings, for the Matt Reeves Planet of the Apes trilogy is, by far, the best Performance Capture in history, and on a scale that's awe inspiring. It's not just 1 character, Gollem, or a handful of different Na'vi. Every single ape in these films has its own look and personality, motivations, and arcs, and all of it comes through the amazing performance capture Reeves utilized.
Caesar's death always gets me! And these movies also seem to connect very well to the old movies (60-70s). To see why Caesar was so referred by the apes then and their history.
This is my favorite of the current trilogy, the writing and deep dive into various psychological impulses that motivate each side (for good and bad) is fascinating.
I remember the scene when the Col. talks about how the Virus was taking away the Humans ability to speak and think and it blew my Mind. I didn't know at the time but all of this was just a prequel to the original Planet of the Apes and it just made me appreciate this trilogy so much more I cannot wait for Kingdom to come out
Did you guys notice the litte girls name was on the gift she received? Nova, thats the name of the woman in the original planet of the apes they give her to Taylor as a mate.
I interpreted the Colonel's killing himself differently. He thought that the virus was stripping people of their humanity, he even referred to his son's "primitive gaze" just before he killed him. His extreme stance of killing all the infected was largely founded on this assumption. But we see with Nova that he's wrong. The mutated virus might take away human speech, but they're no less human or sentient. So when the Colonel gets sick, I think he realizes this fact, and he's overcome with the guilt and agony of what he's done, of killing his own son, and doesn't want to live anymore.
it would’ve hit home a little more for me if he had like flash of his life before he passed and like it flipped back to the first movie with his human father Will (james franco), and memories thereafter, would’ve really brought us back full circle 🥹
I just finished watching the movie and I couldn't stop crying at ending I was not expecting for the trilogy to end that way. This is one of the best trilogy movies I've ever seen.
I love the way you approach this reactions. Not just what happens on screen, but you also appreciate how the movie team pulls off some of these shots or why they chose the scenes to be shot in a certain way. You guys have really good ears for great scores as well. I think, Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 would be a great reaction since I think you guys would love Guy Ritchie's directing style, the pacing is very intertaining, the action scenes are superb, cast is solid, the writing is clever and the soundtrack are composed by Mr. Zimmer. ❤
It was a great conclusion to the trilogy. Andy Serkis's performance was outstanding, and the fantastic CGI brought the apes to life. I loved the themes, and I am glad the human was lost, but I mourn the loss of species to see where we end up in the 1960s film. Great reactions, as usual. I enjoyed Denise's reactions especially. Thanks both.
For me, this is one of the few series of movies that I can honestly say I love every entry in it and I dont feel like there is a weak entry. Hopefully the new movie can keep that same momentum going. Because there aren't many movie series where the entries stay consistently solid past the 3rd one.
For those of you who dont know, which is probably most of you, this is the bible story of moses. He is found as a child, frees his enslaved people and leads them to the promised land. But he sees the promised land of canaan and dies before he can get there. Dr mlk jr used this in his speech. "I have seen the promised land! I may not get there with you... but we as a people will get there."
Love your reactions!!! You have watched and loved a couple of Mel Gibson films, Braveheart, and Heartbreak Ridge. Another MUST WATCH film of his is APOCALYPTO!!!! It was filmed in the jungles of Central America, and tells a story of the Yucatec Mayans (one in particular "Jaguar Paw.") near the end of the Mayan civilization around the year 1511. It is all in the Yucatec Mayan language (with English subtitles). I guarantee you will be pulled into the movie!!!
Also, since you are interested in Bad Ape’s story, you might be interested in the comic PotA: Devolution, which takes place between Rise and Dawn and focuses on what is happening around the world as the simian flu ravages humanity.
Anyone else felt that Caesar in Dawn was more compelling when he was speaking in brief, forced-sounding phrases? Somehow that made more of an impact personally. Now he's speaking perfectly like a human he just feels like a hairier human. Dawn really had the apes speaking feel very forced, almost unnatural, like their vocal chords weren't built for such speech but still managing to convey so much meaning and feeling in the short, simple phrases they make.
I agree, but this is a 5 year time skip after dawn, which shows how the virus has rapidly mutated and how that mutation has affected both the apes and the humans. The apes vocal cords have changed to allow them to speak clearer and the humans vocal cords have deteriorated which prevents them from speaking.
References to the 1968 version: 1) Nova was the name of the girl that Charlton Heston saved, 2) the chimp hung on the X-cross is a reference to the boundary markers put up by the apes.
Another great reaction! One of the things I love most about this " Planet of the Apes" series are the shout-outs to the original movies: Caesar, Bright Eyes, "Damn dirty ape," the virus, Maurice the orangutan (named after the late Maurice Evans, who played Dr. Zaius the orangutan in the original), Cornelius and Nova. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the human in "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" is named "Taylor." Re your "Cloverfield" reaction, my suggestions to future reactions are "10 Cloverfield Lane" and "Overlord" and given the nods to 70s disaster movies, "Airport," "Earthquake," "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno."
16:56 I don't know whether or not they used any practical costumes or props for this shot along with CGI, but holy shit I believe Maurice is really there on screen. He looks so fucking good, hell so much of this film legit boasts some of the best CGI characters I've ever seen in any film.

I like the first one rise of the planet of the apes seeing Caesar to speak the first time was really epic🐵🦍🦧
I was an animator on the first two films at Weta. I’m really happy you’re enjoying these films. Just so you’re aware, animators, modelers, character riggers and the facial team add A LOT to these characters, performance wise. I had shots that the Mocap was completely broken and had to be animated from scratch. We’re always enhancing the performances regardless of functioning Mocap. It’s not just a plug and play situation.
The entire trilogy is great. I would probably rate it:
1. WAR
2. DAWN
3. RISE
As an aside, noticed you haven't reacted to Edge of Tomorrow yet with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Maybe throw it on a Patreon poll. Great movie.
God, Blue Eyes just getting murdered in the first act was the single most upsetting moment of the whole franchise. All the buildup he had in Dawn. All his character development, realization of Koba's actions, his moral dilemma and maturity into a worthy successor to his father...

He wasnt the only one who died

Cornelius made it too, Blue Eyes' brother
Andy Serkis and his performance in this is worthy of an Oscar, its phenomenal..Steve Zahn as Bad Ape was so damn good..
Fun fact, Koba isn't a chimp like most of the other apes but instead is a bonobo, which are famous for how peaceful and docile they are in the wild compared to chimps which are notoriously violent, both to each other and to humans.
The main villain of the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Proximus, is also a bonobo. A descendant of Koba, maybe?
@@dracodracarys2339 Possibly? But that would mean that Koba had a wife that was never seen or mentioned by anyone before hand. Theres a good chance he's just a random bonobo. But it would be interesting if he was somehow related to Koba
The irony of how Koba and Caesar subvert their species' behavior.
Caesar chooses to make peace while Koba wants to start a war
@@dracodracarys2339 I've seen it suggested that Proximus isn't 100% Bonobo. I'm no expert but from what I remember Chimps and Bonobos can interbreed - the theory entirely hinges on the fact Proximus is absolutely MASSIVE for a Bonobo, which are usually ~30cm/1ft shorter than a Chimpanzee.
@@jamessinclair2898 Yes they can because they are different species within the same genus, like lions and tigers for example.
This is a excellent trilogy back when great writers, great actors, great CGI and great directors came together to produce blockbuster movies. Something they are missing so much now.
There's still good movies out there, some are the best movies I've ever seen, but you just gotta look a little deeper than what Hollywood is shoveling.. but yes, as a trilogy, this is up there with the best of all time..
@@StayFractalesqueSadly even back then movies werent very good either. The absolute slpp we're fed these days make it seem better but the 2010s were pretty bad too, they were saying the same things back then that you're saying now.

War was phenomenal Woody Harrison as the Colonel was truly menacing the CGI got even better and bad ape was the such a stand out so excited for kingdom this may
Cannot wait for Kingdom! The CGI made such an advancement throughout the series. Kingdom is gonna look insane!
Thy Kingdom come, Hollywood's will be done, on the earthly couch or in 3D IMAX heaven..
I was so mad this movie didn't win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects (lost to _Blade Runner 2049)._ Because the CG apes in this film look TOO realistic.
..how does one even choose between one or the other anyways? ..when the VFX are this clean and invisible behind powerful storytelling, it really comes down to subjective preference.. 2049 definitely deserved some recognition after not being able to make the numbers against its 250m production cost alone, but War deserved it too, so.. 🤷♀️
@@StayFractalesque There are some times where one movie receives an award that I would've preferred another movie had won, but I can at least see why the former had won that award.
For example, when _The Jungle Book_ (2016) won Best VFX over _Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_ and _Doctor Strange._
But I can admit _The Jungle Book's_ VFX were the most consistently good, with _Rogue One_ being held back with the uncanny CG recreation of Tarkin and _Doctor Strange_ being held back with how cartoony Dormammu looked at the end.
But there are also awards where I cannot see how this one film won an award that should've gone to another.
For example, I was so pissed off when I heard _How To Train Your Dragon_ was only nominated for Best Original Score, but lost to _The Social Network._
I'm pissed because it's like, did _Social Network_ even HAVE a musical score?!?! Whereas the score to _HTTYD_ has been regarded as a masterpiece due to how melodically simple yet orchestrally complex it was and how it literally told a story.
well you have to understand that the most locations in this movie were real. there were actual men hitting on horses with mocap suits. while blade runner 2049 had 80% visuals all CGI.
also there are other aspects which would take me 20 pages to explain 😂
but end of the story blade runner is what inspired denis (director of DUNE) for dune i mean you can see resemblance. see every shot of blade runner in desert
Why would too realistic even be an issue?
i think the oscars have been going for more aesthetic VFX that pairs well with epic cinematography, rather than character VFX, its been pretty noticeable. a few expections: the jungle book and godzilla minus one. but i know Dune 2 will absolutely win it in 2025 because that's exactly what the oscars are going for.
The Colonel's major flaw is that he equates losing the ability to speak with "reverting" to a primitive state. However we are given two prime examples of how this isn't true. First, as you guys noted, Caesar is speaking almost constantly and in full sentences in this film. Despite this he is allowing his base emotions to override his tactical mind and fuel his need for vengence, like Koba did. Meanwhile we have Nova who has lost her ability to speak yet maintains her personality and compassion. She even begins to sign showing that she is still intelligent. I think this shows that the Colonel was short-sighted in his analysis of the disease's mutation.
Furthermore, when Caesar finds the Colonel in his quarters after he contracts the disease, we see he has been drowning his sorrows. I think this shows that the Colonel realizes that even though he can't speak any longer, he still possesses his faculties. This in turn means that he full on murdered his own son, who wasn't a primitive animal. He now knows his son was still fully himself, but just not able to expess it. If he had given his son some time to recover, he would have been just like Nova. I think that is why the Colonel wants Caesar to put him out of his misery.
Great react videos though. I love this trilogy and was so happy to see them covered on the channel!
He's a Colonel
@@moviemetalhead Opps, noted!
Judging by Kingdom for the Planet of the Apes it does seem infected humans eventually do go primitive. They bring up that the human girl there is "smarter and different", implying most of humans at that point are just feral caveman-equivalents.
@@moviemetalheaddamn I never linked the fact that the Colonel probably realised that he could have let his son live.
That's roughhh
Thanks for noting the loss of speech is not necessary the loss of intelligence.
She said "Stop!? Imma burn the whole camp down!"
There’s a great moment that wasn’t filmed for the movie which is in the book that had Malcom and his family going to the colonel to try and prevent the war. The colonel then has them executed and leaves it as an example for Caesar who then becomes bitter and his relationship with humans becomes strained again.
I appreciate how these movies refuse to deviate in its path from the original Planet of the Apes with Charleston Heston (who BTW played Moses in the Ten Commandments in 1959). The evolution of the Apes and the de-evolution of the Human Race comes in perfect alignment to the story that leads to the original movie.
I just wish all writers of “prequels” would follow this path and not stray off to create their own interpretations. That is how you kill a franchise.
Great review, guys. You are one of my favorite reviewers!❤❤❤
The Ten Commandments film actually came out in 1956. Another biblical film that Charlton Heston also starred in called “Ben-Hur” came out in 1959.
Personal fun fact: I actually met the actor who played the albino ape. He's a seriously big dude :). Nice guy too.
Yep Aleks Paunovic i also met him last year on Cincinnati Comic Expo
The way she smiled and looked at you before saying "f*ck you man" 🤣 what a trilogy!!
Never expected to get so emotional in this film but it was truly incredible
Your reactions are so genuine. It's like you two are my bros, have same kind of hearts... God bless your everything in your lives ;)
You guys are truly awesome. Thank you for watching these with us and for showing some love ❤️
Opening scene.....ape's version of... Paul Revere ...
"The humans are coming the humans are coming!!"..lol
Obligatory histroy buff correction, Paul Revere never said "The English are coming". In fact many of the people he would've shouted to would've been English. He did however pass on the message, although not by shouting it to anyone and everyone, "The regulars are coming out" in the towns he went to on the way to Lexington.
Why is this trilogy SO GOOD?? I can't get enough. The feelings and everything. Wow.
Also remember, Ceasar is the only ape that had BOTH of the ALZ formulas in him. All the others only have the 113 while he has the 112 AND 113. That's another reason why he speaks better than the rest.
War For The Planet Of The Apes is probably one of the saddest movie’s i have ever seen in my life , it’s so heartbreaking and beautifull.
RIP Caesar ❤
I remember being consistently impressed with the entirety of the "_____ for the Planet of the Apes" movies. Every movie I saw in theaters, every time i went in without much expectations, and every time i was blown out of the water
Steve Zahn's performance deserves more praise.
I'm curious how the story will develop the evolution and regression in the next movie.
Great reactions to a trilogy that hits all the feels. 🤘
Thank you for watching these with us! What a journey. Cannot wait to see what's in store later this year!
Pretty sure he's everyone's favorite character, lol, even if they don't know it's Steve per say, I think he knows his Bad Monke is iconic..
Man, these films were robbed by the oscars.
Oscars are just elites blowing their own horns.
As long as the people love it, that is the only prize needed.
César, l'un des meilleurs personnages de fiction jamais écrit. Il est d'une telle justesse, d'une telle poésie et surtout d'une grande humanité. C'est ça qui est dingue, malgré le fait que ça soit un singe, on ressent son tiraillement et le fait que ca soit un personnage torturé.
César était un personnage tellement incroyable à suivre. Ils lui ont donné tellement de profondeur et de but que cette fin la rend vraiment déchirante.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsYou guys speak French?
@@OfficialMediaKnights Ca fait des mois que je regarde toutes leurs vidéos et je découvre ça comme ça XD ?
whaaat je pensais pas du tout !
I'm sooo happy that ya'll finished one of the all-time best trilogies.
That first half wrecked me when Caesar lost everything, going into captivity, even slavery. Only rise above to gain his ascension as a legend for his ape family to live free.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set 300 years after the death of Caesar. Ape civilizations greatly advanced yet the sins of the past will threatened the perfect euphoria.
The rediscovery of coexistence between the simian & homosapiens.
Man, you cannot imagine how happy I was to see you guys react to this trilogy. I am so happy that you did. My favorite scene in this movie, was when Caesar and the Colonel are talking. Especially after the Colonel tells Caesar that he is so emotional and how he is, "taking this way too personally!" Also, if you look at the similarities between them, the Colonel is essentially Caesar but if he didn't have the morals.
Andy Serkis spoke recently about the new one Kingdom of the planet of the apes and he says everyone will be blown away by the story and what happens next. I can’t wait. I love Noa the protagonist in it already just by watching the trailer . Take care 😘🏴
In regards to Caesar verbalizing more, I think it partially has to do with his greater age as an enhanced ape, having been so from birth. His exposure to ALZ-113 when he released it in the ape sanctuary may have accelerated his development, but he has a good 8 years of development prior to this. He essentially has had more time to evolve.
24:20 fun fact when bad ape fell and said I' m ok, was actually unscripted but decided to keep it in
You guys continue to amaze me. Your empathy is so genuine. I've had to develop a hard bark over the years but it is refreshing to find truly decent people even with something simple as a reaction
Allow me to just put this out there….i think you guys are great, you dont only make the movie watching enjoyable but somehow give a feeling that we or atleast me is watching it with you. The way you guys interact throughout and point out scenes, or themes, or the way the characters act or portray is truly a real reaction. Keep it up guys.
Secondly, im a huge fan of how you both get engaged, no matter the scene…could be bad, could be sad and sometimes very frustrating but you both express that just like anyone else watching at home.
I am subscribed to your channel and since ive come across you both i look forward to the movies i have seen to watch with you guys. Keep it up guys and may just suggest you goodfellas if you haven’t, its based on a true story and its a great movie. Much love y’all
I love this trilogy so much! After watching your reactions to the movies it made me realize many things about the movies that I didn't notice the first time I watched them. I love hearing your comments and how well you perceive the scenes and characters. Pointing out or thinking of things I've never thought of before! You guys got me loving this trilogy even more and for that... thank you!!!
Andy Serkis has not won a single award for his performance, specifically the Planet of the Apes trilogy.
Yeah its CRIMINAL

Maurice is my favorite ape. Rocket is great. Cornelius is adorable, and I love him very much.
Caesar holds Cornelius close: I love you, Son.
I didn't like this movie much because Blue Eyes and Cornelia were killed. Luca's death was terribly sad as he died to save Caesar's life eariler in the beginning of the movie. It was the saddest film in the Trilogy, knowing that it was Caesar's last movie towards the end of his days.
I love Caesar, and this trilogy very much. I remember our Bible class showing us this trilogy and praising Caesar as a compassionate and caring leader, how to handle conflict and betrayal within the clan and restoration moving forward.
This was such a great conclusion to this amazing trilogy. I love Caesar so much and in my opinion, this was the best version of him.
I just remind you that Koba was filled with hatred, and his hatred needed to express itself against humans but against apes as well... Don't forget he threwAsh over the stage and kill him because he wanted to follow Caesar, Koba shot Caesar, put fire in the apes camp risking the lives of several apes, he didn't care at all... Koba became hate... Humans were just a pretext for him to release it... Koba didn't think, didn't feel, he just gasping for violence against whoever it was
You guys are the best comentators on TH-cam... Insightful, funny and with tons of charisma!
Thank you for watching this trilogy (and every single other film you have) you guys rock!!
Saludos desde Venezuela, de verdad son los mejores!
Yeah, if you watch the entire franchise it becomes very apparent how biblical / mythological it is. The scene in the beginning when he walks through after the battle and they all bow to him like he’s a prophet.
Caesar’s story mirrors that of Moses - starts out rescued as a baby, raised with a privileged upbringing, is exiled (ie sent to the ape prison), becomes leader of his own people, frees them from bondage, establishes a new colony, overcomes internal strife and rebellion, brings them to the promised land but because he broke one of the commandments (by killing Winter) he is only allowed to bring them to promised land but not actually join them.
Caesar’s story parallels Moses. Caesar could very easily be seen as an ape variation of Moses or at heavily inspired by him.
I LOVE how invested you two are in these movies. I always seem to forget how genuinely great these films are -- they are so underappreciated. Even the CGI is absolutely amazing, and I'm a grump when it comes to CGI.
They did such a great job with these films. I think this is my favorite of the 3, the second being close behind it
There all such phenomenal films! For me (Ari) Dawn takes number one and for Denise it's War. It speaks volumes of the quality of every one of these that people have different favorites but think that overall all of them are good!
One of the few trilogies where each installment is better than the last.. I do like Dawn slightly more too, there's just slightly more depth in Dawn because there's more grey morality on both sides.. where-as in War, there's no good humans at all, and even the traitor apes are being forced against their will, unlike the truly traitorous Koba, what with his political maneuvering and diabolical false flag assassination attempt.. Dawn makes one think about intelligence in general, and how convergent evolution probably always leads to the same outcomes once sentient..
I love Ari’s ability and willingness to see and appreciate the point of view of the antagonist, even if they are unlikeable. I wish more reactors were like that.
Then again, maybe it’s because this isn’t your first time watching this? I am curious if this is also how you reacted when you first saw this.
honestly, I really love how they managed to make the Apes so "human" and how evil can be found in all sides.
Super excited to see the next entry with the new film coming out.
That conflicted look by Serkis while holding the gun to Woody's head is one of the best acting moments I've ever seen!
For the ones that don't know, Planet Of The Apes is based on a French book from 1963. The movie that closes resembles the book (with some deviations) is Tim Burton's 2001 version, including the end when human survivor flies back to Earth just to find the world doesn't have humans, only apes, and the world resembles out own. Curious thing, the books starts with two astronauts that discover a message that tells the story of what happens, in the end it shown that the two astronauts are chimpanzees.
What a wonderful Trilogy, I liked the entire film and at the end😭😭
Yesss, this movie was fantastic and just utterly devastating at the end 😭
@@OfficialMediaKnights yeah😢😢
Hearing that voice again after so long made me smile almost cry.Bad Ape Steve Zahn I grew up watching his movies
I absolutely agree with the decision Caesar made in not killing the Colonel. For one, it would be like giving into his hate which would be basically the worst of humanistic flaws. But secondly, it would be giving the Colonel what he wanted and proving him right in his world view about humans and apes in comparison. The Colonel was already infected and was sinking into a state of animalistic basics. It is poetic justice. It would have ruined the moment for Caesar to have just killed him. Karma was going to work. Let it.
Kind of a left field comparison but it reminds me of the Ali fight with George Foreman where the mighty George Foreman started to tumble from the effects of the rope a dope strategy and Ali's knockout flurry. There was a moment where Ali was cocked back for a final blow but held back because it was so monumental to allow the beauty of Foreman tumbling to
the canvass to fully play out with Ali just standing over him after everyone saying Ali had no shot of beating him. Ali was a 6-1 underdog in that fight. Hitting Foreman on the way down would've ruined the beauty of that fall and Ali instantly understood that. Now we have all those iconic shots of that moment forever for history. Caesar shooting the Colonel would've ruined the moment. It now forever stands as poetic justice.
Steven Zahn plays Bad ape. Always loved every performance that guy did. From that thing you do, to Sahara, to even silly movies like strange wilderness and the ridiculous 6 and so on.
The great Terry Notary is the true secret weapon of these movies, so wonderful throughout the entire trilogy as Caesar's loyal lieutenant and best friend Rocket. It's somewhat similar to the relationship that Andy Serkis had with Notary in real life, since Notary worked as the movement coach for all of the "non-human" races in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings/Hobbit trilogies, and also helped Serkis to develop the physicality of Golem, and as a result they formed a very close bond. So when they made these movies Notary and Serkis worked together to mentor the other actors and really bring the apes to life, and the fruits of their labours together really paid off spectacularly here.
I love the Colonel so much as a villain. I am personally drawn to him because I imagine if I was a human in that situation. I would totally understand the Colonel's desire to save the human race through questionable acts. But also at the same time, nature has its course.
I've always loved how noble Cesar's appearance is , how he stands.Andy Serkis killed this performance.
I love that the moment Caesar dies, the first one running back to Maurice is Rocket. People talk about Caesar's arc, but Rocket has the best character development of the trilogy.
I cry at the ending every single time I’m crying now!.
I love this series. Does anyone else noticed the trope of gorillas dying and sacrificing themselves? It's so easy to hate the colonel because I mean let's face it he's not a good guy. But he's a very scary villain because he believes so whole heartedly and he does not waver from his belief. Im glad Maurice and Rocket survived. I've yet to see Dune 2 but that and the fourth planet of the apes are the 2 movies I'm most excited to see in the upcoming future. But mostly the 4th apes movie
Buck is still the saddest one. He only got to be free for a little while and dies when he was almost free, for Caesar's sake. He had the power of intelligence for only a few days, and he used it in the most tragic way possible.
My husband and I saw Rise in theaters. We liked it but it didn't click with us where we had to watch the rest. We finally watched the last 2 on streaming then we watched them all with you guys. I think Rise is my least favorite even though I do love the scene where Cesar speaks for the first time. It's a toss up bestwen the last 2. Dawn is very well done and shows how 1 bad person or ape, can cause so much hurt and destruction. War just killed me to watch. Cesar loosing his wife and a child is haunting. That stayed with me for a while. And Woody Harrelson plays such a good bad guy. That monologue about his son sickening as it is, to me portrays that he broke. He was already messed up but that just finished his journey to crazy.
Thank you for this journey. Watching them back to back has given me a whole new perspective on these.
We love watching movies with you and look forward to what's next.
This whole series is so good. Bad Ape was a great addition and the comedic relief that was needed for this episode because it was kind of heavy.
People talk about Avatar and Lord of the Rings, for the Matt Reeves Planet of the Apes trilogy is, by far, the best Performance Capture in history, and on a scale that's awe inspiring. It's not just 1 character, Gollem, or a handful of different Na'vi. Every single ape in these films has its own look and personality, motivations, and arcs, and all of it comes through the amazing performance capture Reeves utilized.
Caesar's death always gets me! And these movies also seem to connect very well to the old movies (60-70s). To see why Caesar was so referred by the apes then and their history.
This is my favorite of the current trilogy, the writing and deep dive into various psychological impulses that motivate each side (for good and bad) is fascinating.
I remember the scene when the Col. talks about how the Virus was taking away the Humans ability to speak and think and it blew my Mind.
I didn't know at the time but all of this was just a prequel to the original Planet of the Apes and it just made me appreciate this trilogy so much more
I cannot wait for Kingdom to come out
blue eyes and cornelia getting killed off made me so upset
Did you guys notice the litte girls name was on the gift she received? Nova, thats the name of the woman in the original planet of the apes they give her to Taylor as a mate.
Seeing this 2 weeks early WITH Andy Serkis was a unique experience. Blessed to have that opportunity
"Bad Ape" is some of Steve Zahn's best work
I interpreted the Colonel's killing himself differently. He thought that the virus was stripping people of their humanity, he even referred to his son's "primitive gaze" just before he killed him. His extreme stance of killing all the infected was largely founded on this assumption. But we see with Nova that he's wrong. The mutated virus might take away human speech, but they're no less human or sentient. So when the Colonel gets sick, I think he realizes this fact, and he's overcome with the guilt and agony of what he's done, of killing his own son, and doesn't want to live anymore.
it would’ve hit home a little more for me if he had like flash of his life before he passed and like it flipped back to the first movie with his human father Will (james franco), and memories thereafter, would’ve really brought us back full circle 🥹
An exceptional film trilogy. Ceasar's story. And what a story. If only all mainstream blockbusters could be this good.
The trilogy packed a lot of emotional punch. I hope kingdom of the planet of the apes carry’s over the same level of punch and emotion.
I just finished watching the movie and I couldn't stop crying at ending I was not expecting for the trilogy to end that way. This is one of the best trilogy movies I've ever seen.
58:22 that's exactly what my dad said to me when I showed him Logan
I love the way you approach this reactions. Not just what happens on screen, but you also appreciate how the movie team pulls off some of these shots or why they chose the scenes to be shot in a certain way. You guys have really good ears for great scores as well.
I think, Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 would be a great reaction since I think you guys would love Guy Ritchie's directing style, the pacing is very intertaining, the action scenes are superb, cast is solid, the writing is clever and the soundtrack are composed by Mr. Zimmer. ❤
It was a great conclusion to the trilogy. Andy Serkis's performance was outstanding, and the fantastic CGI brought the apes to life. I loved the themes, and I am glad the human was lost, but I mourn the loss of species to see where we end up in the 1960s film. Great reactions, as usual. I enjoyed Denise's reactions especially. Thanks both.
15:17 a gorilla riding a horse...that steed got a strong back, GODDAMN!! ngl my back was breaking just from watching.
I was expecting a lot from this movie, and it still hit so hard. Such an unbelievably sad story 😢
Denise really lives through it and I love it
For me, this is one of the few series of movies that I can honestly say I love every entry in it and I dont feel like there is a weak entry.
Hopefully the new movie can keep that same momentum going. Because there aren't many movie series where the entries stay consistently solid past the 3rd one.
Love your guy's channel glad you enjoyed this series so far can't wait to see what you react to next
I think it's very unfair performance capture isn't considered for Academy Award acting nominations. Serkis for sure deserved consideration.
For those of you who dont know, which is probably most of you, this is the bible story of moses. He is found as a child, frees his enslaved people and leads them to the promised land. But he sees the promised land of canaan and dies before he can get there. Dr mlk jr used this in his speech. "I have seen the promised land! I may not get there with you... but we as a people will get there."
Love your reactions!!! You have watched and loved a couple of Mel Gibson films, Braveheart, and Heartbreak Ridge. Another MUST WATCH film of his is APOCALYPTO!!!! It was filmed in the jungles of Central America, and tells a story of the Yucatec Mayans (one in particular "Jaguar Paw.") near the end of the Mayan civilization around the year 1511. It is all in the Yucatec Mayan language (with English subtitles). I guarantee you will be pulled into the movie!!!
My favorite of the trilogy.
Easily, War is my (Denise) favorite and Dawn is Ari's favorite!! What a fantastic trilogy!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Rise is my favorite 😂
This trilogy was amazing, excellent story and message. All I know is I am excited for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
One of the best trilogy’s of all time
It's definitely up there for both of us!
Man I remember seeing the planet of the apes for the first time when I was a kid in the 70s it was so wild.
Also, since you are interested in Bad Ape’s story, you might be interested in the comic PotA: Devolution, which takes place between Rise and Dawn and focuses on what is happening around the world as the simian flu ravages humanity.
Anyone else felt that Caesar in Dawn was more compelling when he was speaking in brief, forced-sounding phrases? Somehow that made more of an impact personally. Now he's speaking perfectly like a human he just feels like a hairier human. Dawn really had the apes speaking feel very forced, almost unnatural, like their vocal chords weren't built for such speech but still managing to convey so much meaning and feeling in the short, simple phrases they make.
I agree, but this is a 5 year time skip after dawn, which shows how the virus has rapidly mutated and how that mutation has affected both the apes and the humans. The apes vocal cords have changed to allow them to speak clearer and the humans vocal cords have deteriorated which prevents them from speaking.
I forgot how emotional this one was, my goodness this hit the feels a lot.
this series is GOATED!!!
Luca was such a a gentle giant I loved him
This movie always breaks my heart
This was a solid series from beginning to end. It was a strong story with great characters.
Never cried at a TH-cam video so much in my life.
References to the 1968 version: 1) Nova was the name of the girl that Charlton Heston saved, 2) the chimp hung on the X-cross is a reference to the boundary markers put up by the apes.
Another great reaction! One of the things I love most about this " Planet of the Apes" series are the shout-outs to the original movies: Caesar, Bright Eyes, "Damn dirty ape," the virus, Maurice the orangutan (named after the late Maurice Evans, who played Dr. Zaius the orangutan in the original), Cornelius and Nova. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the human in "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" is named "Taylor."
Re your "Cloverfield" reaction, my suggestions to future reactions are "10 Cloverfield Lane" and "Overlord" and given the nods to 70s disaster movies, "Airport," "Earthquake," "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno."
Thank you for the reaction guys, was on a trip home from Washington and this dropped- exactly what’s needed on a road trip 😊
16:56 I don't know whether or not they used any practical costumes or props for this shot along with CGI, but holy shit I believe Maurice is really there on screen. He looks so fucking good, hell so much of this film legit boasts some of the best CGI characters I've ever seen in any film.
