Grown up Nova?

I'm curious what narrative is left other than the supreme "fish out of water" experience of the original film. How many "humans are the true savages" stories we gotta sit through? The only other direction I see is....well, best left simply said as "monkey meets girl....".

Are they really planning on showing the entire devolution of humans into non-verbal slaves while apes struggle to imitate human civilization?

 

[Fbh]

I think I'm in the minority that only really liked the James Franco movie, the other 2 were meh.
But I'm still interested to see what they do with this one.

 

[GymWolf]

i still have to see the third modern movie...

 

[Grildon Tundy]

These recent Apes films are anomalies and treasures. They're so weird, nobody asked for them, and they're better than they have any right to be. I'll watch this new one for sure.

You missed three movies.

[Werewolf Jones]

You missed three movies.

That the end result of the third movie? Lol.

Original movies were whacky but fun.

 

[Lady Jane]

With the time skip, I assume humans are now slaves. This movie should be the one when the astronaut crashes down (this time in the ape's perspective). If not then they're really going to drag this out.

The third movie showed that the survivors of the virus became mute.

 

[FunkMiller]

Shame Reeves is t coming back, but I guess he’s busy with Batman.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Great, more CGI diarrhoea is exactly what I need.

 

[AJUMP23]

Apes are played out. I want planet of the whales.

 

[mcjmetroid]

The trilogy was one of the best of the last 20 years. They're almost underrated despite doing well.

I'm in for more they've never disappointed yet.

 

[ManaByte]

I want planet of the whales.

That's called America.

 

[G-Bus]

That trilogy was a nice surprise. Great set of movies.

Look forward to this.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This girl was quite good as Ciri

 

[AJUMP23]

3/10 on that joke.

Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver both wrote Rise and Dawn and were involved in War. However, they also wrote the recent Mulan film.
Patrick Aison wrote the recent Prey film.

I'm very excited for this.

 

[Raonak]

They should just bring James Franco back.

I'll go all out and say that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was pretty dogshit, and War for the Planet of the Apes is probably in the top five (at most, ten) worst movies I've ever seen. Rise of the Planet of the Apes (the Franco movie) was great.

Yup, Dawn wasn't too bad, I just thought it was extremely predictable. 20 minutes into the movie you know everything that will happen and the execution isn't that exciting either

And yeah War was just straight up bad IMO. Except for the nice VFX.

I loved the new trilogy but feeling unsure about it since Reeves is not at the helm.

The first one was the best, the rest two were unnecessary, although they had brilliant CGI -- especially the third one.
