ROR @ Check ya mail.


Doop @ Really? Cool.

Apes rule!

As a kid growing up the originals were everything to me! Now to see them re-done and done right makes me happy. I honestly think this will be the best movie of the summer, just like I thought the 1st was. I really cannot wait to see this.

I still don't get why they skipped the actual Ape VS Human war... that could have been intriguing to see. Instead its simply 10 years time and skips the uprising of the apes.

I'm not asking for a fighting movie, but its just odd to me. Surely seeing the first movie set-up the uprising should have been followed by the uprising in the second with this sort of film coming as the final film in a trilogy.

I'm going to watch it, but I'm not sure how they plan to do a trilogy if it skips forward randomly in time. I get they wanted to show the post-apocalyptic world (Which looks amazing in areas) but I'm just confused as to why we didn't get an 'apes rising' film.

@Supermandatory
So wait... the apes decided to trash the city at the end of the last one and then they just all left for 10 years and decided to attack now because someone is going to kill Caesar's child? :s

Personally I don't think the 'Planet Of The Apes' need to be remade again - its been remade at least twice from memory and their are many other scenarios that could be shown.

@scarilian

No the apes went and started to live they're lives in the Red woods after 'Rise'.. The humans got sick from the 112 virus and for ten years they we're fighting each other and getting each other sick.. Now since the human species is decreasing and getting sicker and the apes are getting smarter and multiplying so humans fear they won't be the dominant species anymore so the war starts..

And "Planet of the Apes" only has remade once and it sucked so yeah there is room for improvement.

@TheRealSupaMan

Yes exactly.. I hope it is like a thousand years later and Ceaser is long gone but there is like this big statue of him because he did start it all. And it doesn't have to be called "Planet of the apes" but keep that same story but have it a modernized version..

^^ that would be a waste of a movie

@TheRealSupaMan

If they were to do a remake of the original(it will happen) then it should be in the 4th film. I think the first batch of these new films(Rise, Dawn and the 2016 film) should deal with Caesar's Rise(along with the apes of course) and perhaps tragic fall, which could happen in the third film. Properly finish his arc/story then move on. They did a good job with Rise and it looks like they've done another good job with this. I don't doubt that they can do a good remake, I just think it's unnecessary.

"that would be a waste of a movie"

Don't see how. The Apes will most likely win in this movie, with Caesar possibly fully turning on the Humans becoming some sort of dictator in the process(like in the original ending of Conquest). In the third film Caesar no longer trusts Humans and rules them(hinting at what the planet is eventually set to become). Humans are almost extinct, the mutants who are threat to be both emerge(they didn't fight themselves like the humans). Instead of having Psychic powers like in the originals, they could simply be super smart. The Human protagonist believes this mutual enemy can unite the two groups together. They unite, defeat the mutants. Caesar is about to change his ways but is killed by his son/close ape before he can do so. Apes go on to fully rule the planet via a harsh and brutal dictatorship. You can then do a massive time jump without Caesar, as his story would be over.

One of the apes looks like Gary Oldman
