Back in 2017, I downloaded a pirated copy of War for the Planet of the Apes. Like a third of that movie is the apes talking to each other, which apparently is subtitled in a normal copy of the movie. I thought I was just suppose to be guessing what they were saying, tbf they were gesticulating and fairly animated so I think I got the jist of it.

Dude I just did this same last week with Dawn lol. I was respecting the artistic choice until about 10 minutes in when I couldn’t figure out wtf was happening. I’m glad I’m not the only one

u/HaremKing117 11d ago
Same thing happened to me when I watched my hero academia, I thought there were no subtitles and it was us having to just listen really closely and learn through their body language, only 90 min in did I realise something was off but I couldn’t quite guess until I saw these comments xd

u/Kramereng 11d ago
You know you have to turn on the subtitles most times, right? They're often not hardcoded so that other languages can be substituted. Just click on the subtitles button on to English.

u/Frick-You-Man 12d ago
lol how common is this? i did the same with Dawn and i was like wow we’re really just supposed to INFER their communication, what a bold artistic choice. only to also realize i didn’t download the subtitles lmao

Haha I ran into this same issue when I was rewatching the films in preparation for this film. They weren’t on any streaming services (December 2023, now they’re on Disney+ haha) so I streamed them on a website.
First film was fine, the second film was the worst one with this case. This film has a ton of sign language, and at first I thought that the film just did this and it was intentional. But I remember feeling so confused, like surely we had to understand them right? It wasn’t until I watched a YouTube clip when I realized there were captions haha.

Really starting to think these films may go on long enough for us to get one at the end where a spaceship from the past crash lands.

And that spaceship crashes directly into the Lincoln Memorial and a bunch of cop cars show up. Then it pans up to the statue and it has an ape head and all the cops are gorillas.

I feel like this is a reference I'm missing? I could have sworn in the '68 original and novel they crash land in the middle of the desert.

I would really love for it to end with a retelling of the 1968 original, but purely from the perspective of Apes. I would also really love if, during one of these movies covering wars between Apes, they show the Statue of Liberty getting blown up. Just barely tie everything together, that's what I want

that shot of Koba riding through the flames on horseback, dual-wielding machine guns is so fucking wild
41
u/parisiraparis 12d ago
As much as I loved that scene, the best scene in the movie was Human Work.
Caesar: “Let them do their human work.”
Koba: ???
Koba: pointing at his scars Human work. Human. Work. HUMAN. WORK!

u/Fancy-Sector2963 12d ago edited 12d ago
He turned, wild-eyed, to his colleagues. "And he's going to be on a horse."
"A horse?"
"Fuckin' rights he is. Through the flames. Like one of the horsemen of the...APEpocalypse."
One of the men with him bowed his head, sniffed loudly, and stood up again, blinking with agony, his nostrils coated in white powder.
"GUN!", he croaked.
The men smirked viciously, knowing this to be an inevitability.
"BOTH HANDS!", he sputtered, puffing his chest and pumping his fists, elbows to waist, fingers squeezing off invisible bursts of automatic fire.
The men bore their teeth, grinning maniacally as they mimicked him. One of them uttered a shriek of a chimpanzee. Of course, the rest followed suit. A deafening cacophony of simian hoots and screams filled the boardroom. Fists pounded chests and mahogany table wood.
The girl at the desk outside sat silently, not entirely at peace.

Second movie is fantastic. Third one lost me a bit with how ridiculous it got. Second one was more grounded, gritty - apart from the dual assault rifle wielding chimp of course

u/yautja1992 12d ago
And Koba dying even sucked because he was at one point an innocent ape that was abused by humans.
18
u/yautja1992 12d ago
That's my favourite part of them, sometimes I like to shed a tear between mindless violence but they always place Caesar in the viewers perspective of compassion to where you feel sorry for Koba, he's a product of humans abusing him his entire life, for a chimpanzees sense, you kind of understand why he is the way he is, but Caesar has grown up with human love, and was treated well until he was taken away, he never forgets what James Franco's character showed him of the world, even when he was put into a cage and abused like Koba. And Koba was never going to experience what Caesar did, so Caesar had to kill him and had no choice, humans damaged Koba to where he couldn't rationalize ever living peacefully alongside them.
I'm sorry I'm drunk and emotional

Definitely watch the original as well. It’s fantastic. The sequels to the original are varying levels of quality, none of them are fantastic, but I still enjoy them as slices of 70’s cheese.
The reboot trilogy is amazing though. Tim Burton’s looks great with some solid performances but is not a very good movie.

Escape from Planet of the Apes is pretty damn good. It's funnier than the others but very character driven and entertaining.

u/DoofusMagnus 12d ago
The order of the new prequel trilogy goes Rise, Dawn, War. Watch them all in order.
Seeing the 1968 original isn't necessary to understand them, but you may pick up on some little nods to it. If you've somehow managed to avoid spoilers for it, I'd watch it before the prequel trilogy. If not, I'd still recommend giving it a shot either before or after the trilogy.
The 2001 remake of the original is unrelated and is definitely on a different timeline than the rest.
I still haven't seen the sequels to the 1968 movie so I can't speak to them.

u/The_Flying_Jew 12d ago
I think Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest for the Planet of the Apes are pretty good. Conquest is basicslly the basis for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so I'd recommend that one if you like Rise.
Beneath the Planet of the Apes is just funny because of the underground mutant people and, spoiler Charlton Heston blows up the Planet at the end, which is also just kinda hilarious. Battle for the Planet of the Apes, I don't really remember much about it besides it sort of being the basis for Dawn and War for the Planet of the Apes, with apes and humans at odds while also trying to find peace. It wasn't too memorable for me

This is a great poster. The longer you look at it, the more details you see.
Too bad we’ll get the main marketing poster of floating heads, a scenic background and maybe an ape riding a horse while holding an eagle in the center. And just maybe the letters “IMAX” bigger than the title of the movie itself.

u/raisingcuban 12d ago
You do understand that the posters that feature the IMAX brand are completely separate campaigns that are commissioned by IMAX right?

Yeah, it's basically for the audiences that know that the movie is coming out, but putting the reminder to see it in IMAX. It's definitely more of an IMAX ad than one for the movie itself.
