Bạn đang xem: Planet of the apes
But those movies, unlike Tim Burton's, bởi not undo anything that we have already seen và instead fitted neatly into the already established timeline - well until the film concluded & asserted this timeline is different that is.
So if you want to watch all the movies, there are two ways to go about it và we have broken them down for you below. Which will you choose lớn go for, you dirty apes?
The release order keeps things simple and doesn't have any confusion over where lớn watch the 2001 reboot. You'll start with the planet already overrun by the apes and work through the original before jumping back to the prequel trilogy lớn see how it all began.
It is a good way to view it all, particularly as the 60s' movies vì chưng look, as expected, dated now, plus it will leave you at the right place for when the next movie comes along that is expected to lớn take place after the most recently released one.
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Where it all began back in the late 60s, Planet of the Apes remains a fantastic watch even 42 years after it first came out. Sure, the killer twist at the over is not so killer anymore with it being almost as ingrained in pop culture as Luke's father reveal in Star Wars, but that doesn't detract from how entertaining this is. A cinematic feat at the time, this is still a brilliant introduction lớn the ape filled world that was created và by far the best movie in the original run.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes is a strange one. Star of the first movie, Charlton Heston was killed off at his own request but instead of just offing him lớn build a new status quo, the writers took things a few hundred steps further by nuking the world và writing themselves into a bit of a hole when it came to continuing the story. Beneath is not a bad movie, but it is often dull và the issues with it vì outweigh the good that it does - and there is some decent stuff here.

Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
How bởi vì you solve a problem lượt thích nuking the world your franchise takes place in? Time travel of course. Escape from the Planet of the Apes is the silliest of the lot with three apes hopping back khổng lồ the 1970s' & finding that talking apes are quite the oddity in this time. Yet the writers take the subject matter relatively seriously and, somehow, it sort of works & it is an entertaining, và strangely realistic in its depiction, third film.

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)
The premise for this penultimate movie in the original timeline is not the best - despite having some moments. Cats and dogs have now been wiped out by a pandemic (which is perhaps the most depressing thing that could happen) và humans, in need of pets/slaves, turn lớn the apes khổng lồ fill the role. Caesar và his ape friends bởi not take kindly to lớn this & riot against the humans khổng lồ try and build a new society. There are flashes of a decent film here, but it does continue the downward spiral that would only get worse with the fifth one.

Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
It's a good job that the series has returned to the big screen in better shape than ever as the original series of movies did not over the franchise on a high - far from it. A definite low point, Battle for the Planet of the Apes was an almost total misfire which is a shame as the new mix up could have been interesting. Apes rule the roost now and humans are now the second class citizens, but whatever spark the franchise had was lost at this point và the subsequent 27-year break was probably wise and needed.

Planet of the Apes (2001)
While not quite as bad as its reputation may suggest, Tim Burton's Mark Wahlberg starring reboot was certainly a misfire overall và it remains an oddity in the franchise that has no place in the timeline the others all reside in. There are moments that work here, but they are few và far between & to learn that two of the writers here also wrote hero IV: The Quest for Peace comes as no surprise - at least it wasn't that bad.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
After a ten year break from the franchise, it returned with style in the James Franco starring, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Mix while the Earth was as we know it & depicting the origin of the pandemic (sorry khổng lồ use that word again) that wiped out most of humanity, this is a fantastic start for the new trilogy with Caesar's rise to power và freedom expertly done. & this trilogy only gets better from here.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
Jumping ahead in time from where we left off in Rise, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes builds on that first movie in the prequel trilogy và expands on it - delivering a film that is as compelling as it is action-packed. There are some good human characters here with the always dependable Jason Clark leading the pack, but the real meat of the story lies with the apes themselves. The rivalry & building tension between Caesar và Kobe is riveting stuff & it all builds khổng lồ a stunning climax that sets up the third film perfectly.

War For the Planet of the Apes (2014)
The final movie to lớn be released so far is a stunning watch and while all three of the rebooted movies are stellar, this may be the best of the bunch with a fantastic plot and a devastating, yet hopeful ending, that not only sets up future stories but still gets us emotional when we think about it. Not only one of the best movies in the franchise, but a contender for one of the best movies of 2017 - it really is that good.

The Planet of the Apes timeline: chronological order
