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

Caesar vs Koba is still one of the most intense finales I’ve ever seen. “You are no ape” gives me chills

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

Watched War, two nights ago at 3am. Cried when it ended. An underrated masterpiece of a finale.

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

One of the best film trilogies ever made, along with the OT and LOTR.

These right here.... They are some of the best films made in Modern Hollywood

Reboot trilogy is a 10/10 perfection and stayed consistent

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

I hope that Kingdom does justice to this trilogy’s story.

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

All 3 of these movies are in my top 10 favorite movies of all time with Dawn being my all time favorite movie

Andy Serkis gives an amazing performance as Caesar through acting and motion capture performances in all three movies!

It’s been 7 years since this series ended?? I really look forward to the next installment!

Probably my favorite trilogy of the past few decades

If Gollum was Andy Serkis' best performance as an antagonist, Caeser is his best performance as a protagonist. A true showcase for his talents in motion capture acting.

I've always had a special connection with the planet of the apes franchise it was the first piece of media iv ever seen where i share a name with the main character Seeing Caesar's journey from a captive to a revolutionary leader always struck a chord with me. Witnessing him stand up and fight for his kind filled me with pride. But as the series progressed, and Caesar's story came to its inevitable conclusion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. His death hit me harder than I expected, leaving me genuinely saddened. these movies are just so perfect to me.

Most underrated trilogy I absolutely agree.

This series may be the best reimagine/reboot in media.

I could listen to The Gold Man talk about movies all day long

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