I honestly can't keep track of which ones I have or haven't seen anymore.

Clearly a ripoff of the masterpiece Time of the Apes!

Bell Labs should look into this indifference!

They did. And know they know why Johnny doesn't care. Do you care?

… and it is not even an interesting franchise.

The first two films of the original series with Charlton Heston (and James Franciscus in the second one) are films I dearly love and have seen many times. The rest, meh.

The third in the original (Escape from the Planet of the Apes) is fricken awesome

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The twist of the first movie relies entirely on Hollywood writers' reputation for stupidity.

How can apes evolve on another planet? They can't! Ah well, let's go enjoy some B-movie trash anyway.

Earlier I noticed a plothole in the prequels.

The original films had space age technology, in both the 1968 version and the 2001 reboot, but in the prequels the world ended in like 2010-ish. So basically, they're not prequels. Also, the 2001 version sort of implies maybe the Apes aboard the Oberon may have started the Ape Uprising.

EDIT: And the original trilogy actually shows the ape uprising caused by timetravelling apes after the 2nd move uh... made continued living on the planet somewhat problematic for the apes.

They are not prequels, they are very loose adaptations of the book. Basically very expensive fan fiction.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Tbh I'm here for it. The reboot trilogy is legitimately fantastic and beautifully realised films

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not sure if this is an obscure reference, but…

🎵 Iiiiiiffff yooooouuuuuu 🎵

*Want to take a picture of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches on the britches of the boys who put the powder on the dawn of the sequel of the prequel of the reboot of the planet of the kingdom of the war of the dawn of the rise of the battle for the conquest of the escape from the planet of the apes… *

Same thought here!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So does it turn out in the end that we were the apes all along? Or is it not that kind if a movie?

God, I wasn't even born when it aired but I pirated a copy and watched all the episodes. It's just so amazing!
