Hmm, ain’t gonna lie, I loved this trilogy. My only gripe was the name scheme of the flicks was out of order. They went Rise, Dawn, War when it clearly should have been Dawn, Rise, War.
I wonder what the story will be here.. what’s the conflict? [Reply]

I’m not sure where they go from here but I’ll keep watching if the quality remains the same.
Ill keep watching because they're my favorite movies by a long shot but I thought this one was kind of a let down. I wasn't expecting such a dramatic time line jump but I guess its necessary if they're ever going to tie in the old planet of the apes time line. Alot needs to be forgotten before men can land on earth from space like that. [Reply]

It’s funny that you mention that because I am actually watching the originals for the first time ever. In the first Planet of the Apes, Charlton Heston and those boys crash landed on Earth in the year 3950 or something.
Apparently Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was set 300 years after the Caesar trilogy so it’s probably only like 2300-2350 or so.
They’ve got plenty of time for things to change and be forgotten, which they will need..
Spoiler!
.. since there are still pockets of humans with normal intelligence.
I think that shocked me more than anything in this new movie. Not only was there the large group at SETI but they made contact with another group in Fort Wayne, IN. I’d imagine there are pockets of normal humans all over the world that will need to be eradicated.
That actually leads me to my favorite moment from this movie: when Mae went back to Noah and asked him if humans and apes could live peacefully and it’s revealed that she had her hand on her gun the whole time.

I don’t remember the originals that well. But I remember a love story. Was that because the apes had evolved to near human? [Reply]

That may have been in one of the ones I haven’t watched yet.
The closest I’ve seen to it was Charlton Heston definitely having a thing for Nova in the original.
Oh, and in the Marky Mark Planet of the Apes it seemed like the lead ape chick had a thing for Mark Wahlberg lol [Reply]
