Coby devastated by WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (2017) Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING 

"Son will know, who was father. And what Ceasar did for us"

It was heartbreaking to lose Caeser, but at least he got to see his work finished. Props to Andy Serkis for his amazing performance as Caeser (He should have got an Oscar).

The actor who voices the new "ape" (strangely named Bad Ape) was comedian Steve Zahn. He was such an amazing addition to the film!

The death of Caesar still hits me hard even to this day. Fantastic reaction to this third installment.

What a global phenomenon to one of the best trilogies in movie history. Andy Serkis playing the iconic role Caesar (Oscar Worthy Performance). In Caesar We Trust. 🦍🤲💪

Fun fact: Red donkey was played by Ty Olson. He was also in Rise of the POTA where he played the helicopter pilot who shot at Buck, the gorilla who sacrificed himself to take down the chopper. How ironic!!!

Coby he’s called Bad Ape

Oof... every time she smiles or laughs you know she's just seconds away from getting her heart ripped out again lol.

So many references to original movies - Cornelius, Maurice, Nova, Cesar names... C. Heston gave Nova her name just as Maurice gave the girl. While we all wait for the 4th one to come out next month would be great to see you watch the remaining 4 from the original movies; You'll understand the whole series of events how the apes ruled and the humans became primitive, the history between them, what destroyed the human civilization, time travel, etc.

The ending is a kick in the guts but I think it rounds out Caesars' story arc nicely.

Actor Steve Zahn is Bad Ape. Michael Giacchino did an amazing job with the soundtrack to honor the late great Jerry Goldsmith from the original. I regret not watching this in IMAX Lol Just FYI, Malcolm from DAWN was killed of by the Colonial. It's in a deleted scene

For whatever reason, I couldn’t ever get into these movies (I only watched the first couple), but my buddy, Greg Anthony, was a stuntman on the 2001 movie and used to carry his ape mouth prosthetic dentures around all the time, and pop them in his mouth randomly, unexpectedly, which gave him a chimpanzee profile, and was totally hilarious. 😂

32:15 Because he's trying to protect him. Reaching out to Cornelius - in any way - would let the humans know, "Hey, that little one? That's the make-Caesar-do-whatever-we-want button. You just have to hit it hard enough."

15:54 woman, are we looking at the same ape? Rocket is JACKED

The full timeline for all 3 movies 20+ years all together, from when Ceasar went home with his dad (forgot his character name) to the time of his death (from birth to 3 years old, then 5 years passed when he began going to the red woods, 10 years passed from when he started the revolution, then another 2 years once the war started), which is crazy to think about cause so much has happened within that amount of time

Great reaction Coby like always, love this one. I don't think anyone expected movies about talking apes taking over the world to be as emotionally impactful as they were. Such a brilliant reboot of this series and Andy Serkis was a big hand in that. Steve Zahn (who plays Bad Ape) is such an underrated actor deserves all the praise from his performance in this movie. Matt Reeves even said that Steve’s ability to bring balance between comedy and emotional moments in the movie made it work so well. I absolutely his performancein. Everything aside, I think this movie has the best overall CGI use I have ever seen. Rise was great, Dawn even better, but War just makes the apes look absolutely real and it still holds up. I'm hyped for Kingdom, even though I am wary as Reeves is no longer involved. Keep yo the good work.

Without fail amazing reaction Coby! I knew the ending was going to rough and it was heartbreaking to see you sad and cry, but I think we all had that same reaction over losing Ceaser. Maybe someday they'll pick with Cornelius and his story. Again thank you Coby, always a pleasure to see you react! 😊😊

If you can’t get enough of watching the apes, there’s a lot of behind the scenes videos here that show the making of. They’re so good. They show the making of all the motion capture and all. I really enjoy the one where the person edited it so on the left side of the screen, it showed the actors doing the scenes in their motion capture suits, and on the right they played it against the actual movie scene. It’s so awesome!

Not ashamed to say I Cried when Ceasar died 😢 🦍Apes Together Strong🦍

OMFG!!!!! What a beautiful soul… so much GENUINE UNFILTERED emotion 😢and so beautifully vulnerable I AM 100000% in LOVE WITH THIS WOMAN (seriously) This is a person who loves, appreciates, and enjoys movies, the way I do and in my opinion everyone should… (not to mention, it’s obvious she’s very knowledgeable when it comes to movies, actors, plot formats and the industry in general) uh!.. love her… I could watch anything with her!…. ❤

Caesar is basically Moses. He frees his people from captivity, guides them through the desert and leads them to the promised land but doesn't get to enter the promised land himself because he betrayed his highest principle, Ape no kill Ape (in the Bible, Moses doesn't enter the promised land because God is kinda petty lol). As for the Statue Of Liberty...well....there is one in Vegas so it could theoretically be that one (though the one in Vegas is smaller I think) and it would make sense geographically because these movies take place in California so they could cross the desert into Nevada. That wouldn't explain the ocean in the original film though, unless by the time of POTA, the West Coast has eroded.

Love your reactions. Can't wait for the 4th one.

What an amazing conclusion to this trilogy. It was sad and heartbreaking, but beautiful at the same time. Andy Serkis was amazing as Caesar in all three of these films. He really brought Caesar to life. And I love what they did with the character of Nova in this one. Very different from the Nova in the 1968 film and very original. Credit to Amiah Miller in her portrayal of Nova, especially playing a character who could not speak. Steve Zahn was great as Bad Ape. Woody Harrelson was amazing as the Colonel. I remember watching him when I was a teenager in the 80's on the TV series Cheers. He has come a long way since then. The end of this movie, when Caesar dies, never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

So the last half of the movie is a retelling of Moses and exodus. Moses lead the hebrews out of Egypt, across the desert to the promised land. But most Importantly, Moses doesn't enter the promised land with them. He dies on the hill overlooking the promised land.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY I BEEN WAITING FOR U TO POST THIS

Loved your reactions to this trilogy, thanks.

Fun fact rise of the planet of the apes is a remake of conquest of the apes, dawn of the planet of the apes is a remake of battle of the planet of the apes, war of the planet of the apes is a remake also on battle of the planet of the apes but it’s also based on the story of exodus from the Bible and the next movie Kingdom of the planet of the apes is going to be a remake of the original planet of the apes that with 300 years instead of 4000 years.

Rocket is such a bad ass. My fave ape of the franchise

Andy Serkis is a brilliant actor and a Motion Capture genius. His roles as Caesar, Gollum, and so many other characters. Probably one of my favourites though is when he portrayed Ian Dury in the film "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll"

Dope reaction

Hi Coby Thankyou for completing the greatest trilogy ever. The new one is called Kingdom of the planet of the apes. It takes place 300 years after War so all the apes we love are gone. The protagonist is a chimp called Noa and he is a descendant of Caesars lineage plus he’s my fave already and i haven’t seen it yet just the official trailers. It comes out on 10th may 2024 and i’m so excited to see it. Thanks again for watching all the films in the trilogy. Do you think they’re masterpieces ? Take care 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ApesTogetherStrong ❤️ #CaesarNeverForgotten❤️💔😭 #TeamNoa (Kingdom) ❤️

43:33 Great call back to the 1968 film. If you remember, Charlton Heston's "girlfriend's" name was Nova.

The death of ceasar always gets me!!!

Caesar saw it through to the end… seeing the apes safe was all he wanted. Maurice says his son will know his father and what he did for apes… this alludes to what is to come in Kingdom. We’ll see the legacy of Caesar 300 years into the future. Will the apes honor what he stood for? It’s a super intriguing place to pick up from Glad you enjoyed these films

The little girls name Nova was the name of the love interest in the original Planet of the Ape but I think they are doing there own thing cus that thousands years later maybe more And the good male ape in the original movie was called Cornelius and his son was called Caesar but in this trilogy Caesar had a son called Cornelius so unless one of there descendants have another Cornelius that has a son named Caesar after the original Caesar and unless there is another girl a thousand years later called Nova they are definitely doing something different when the Astronauts land Cus I think they said the next movie takes place 300 years later so this Cornelius and Nova would have been dead a long time

I really like your narrating your picture your movie sound they're all great

Also yours was the only Reactor Ch. that got the Ape / monkey distinction correct and I liked that! Some Ch. don't raise the distinction but some say things like, "man, that one monkey w/ the freaky eye is scary" or "those monkeys are riding horses." Go figure given that the word (Apes) appears in all 3 (upcoming 4th) movie titles. Odd as in case one doesn't know the distinction, I just did a 3 second google search & found answers!

Love this trilogy.. cant wait to see what they do with movie 4

The little girl in this movie is Nova, played by Amiah Miller, and Nova's character, who also will be in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the 4th movie in this franchise will be played by Freya Allan. The character Nova, was also in the original Planet of the Apes, played by Linda Harrison. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, opens May 10, 2024.

Bad Ape is simply Bad Ape, he took the name for himself. Steve Zahn plays him, if you've ever watched the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, he's the dad. Edit: I know it's obvious but I should've finished the video, cause clearly you do know him and some of these other folks lmao.

I love how, even though this film depicts the very end of the war between humans and apes, this story is primarily about Caesar’s personal war with the Colonel, with himself, with his morals, with his guilt, with his rage, and with Koba.

Coby, I was about to ask if you were OK? This movie seemed to wreck you. But, I see this was three weeks ago (I’m fairly new to the channel), so you’ve probably recovered. You’re obviously a very sweet person. I must say, I admire you for putting your real emotions out there.

Donkey didn’t attack the other soldier that killed him because there was nothing left in him to be saved (as discussed earlier with Caesar when Caesar asked him “is there anything left of you to save?”)There was ,however something still in Caesar left to save .That why donkey saved Caesar and not himself.

truly an underrated movie

The last thing Caesar seeing before he dies being a human child playing with apes is I think the ideal way for him to go. All his life, Caesar was torn between being an ape raised by humans (in fact he never met or knew his birth parents) and the nature of who he is. I like to think that seeing that in his final moments, made him feel like it was all worth it.

I went into this movie expecting it to be an action epic, but instead I got a biblical story, and I couldn't be happier. I honestly thought Rocket was gonna die when he surrendered himself. I thought he'd fight Red, then the Colonel would hold a gun to his head and ask if he was alone or not, and then Rocket would look around at the other Apes, it'd be deathly quiet, and for the first time, he'd speak, saying, "I'm never alone." He'd give Caesar one final look, then shout, "APES TOGETHER, STRO---" then Colonel would pull the trigger.

When I saw the movie for the first time I was upset with the ending but now I love this movie

Actually liked the series more than I thought. I seen the squels to the Charlton Heston original and they were...'different'. But I was expecting the one with another lead actor,, but just found out it was a one off separate to this series of 4. Great reaction. 5 bananas!

Hi Coby hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

In the first movie you yourself pointed out that astronauts were sent into space, like in the original. If you watch the trailer for the new movie now, you will notice that all the people who are still alive are wearing primitive clothes. All except for one woman, who can be seen wearing a tank top and pants. Either that's a mistake or this woman isn't from that era. It can be assumed that this woman is a daughter of one of the astronauts. Since the creators of the new movie already said that this is not time travel, the astronauts could have made an emergency landing on an alien planet and it took a generation until at least this woman came back to earth and found the planet full of apes. That would close the circle to the original. The new Ape has said his name umpteen times, you're just ignoring it. Bad Ape is his name.

Nova is also the name of Charleston Hesstons Mute GF in the original Planet of the Apes.

32:09 i think its because if the enemy knows you related, they might use it against you, threat his son.

You going to go see the new one in theatres in about a month? Just wondering. Love your reactions. They remind me so much of my own. Samwise Gamji is my favorite character from LotR. Carolyn and Imam are my favorite characters from the movie Pitch Black (dark & scary but character development was first rate for Riddick & them). Yes, I cry when Samwise carries Frodo up the mountain, and again when Imam in Pitch Black says “There is my God, Mister Riddick” after having lost all 3 of his boys earlier during events of the film.

This movie is a masterclass❤

The actor[Ty Olsson] who plays the donkey gorilla, Red, is played one of the actors from the first movie, the chief of police, John Hamil, the one who piloting the helicopter and shot Buck the gorilla. Also, the court clerk from the first movie is also playing Maurice the Orangutan. Her first time playing a male character who is an advisor to Caesar

I couldn't believe Coby didn't recognize the voice of "The Colonel". We'll make a sci-fi nerd out of her yet.

Steve Zahn was Bad Ape, well, his voice. That was the only name he had 😥 I like the way they used the name Nova from the car for the girl's name to pay homage to Nova in the very first 1968. As always, great reaction, Coby.

You’ve completed the modern trilogy and it was an amazing group of films. Please go back and react to the original sequels. They present a different take on the apes’ journey and you’ll better understand a lot of the references made in the modern films.

We technically do not know how large the desert they cross is. It can take 6 months to cross the whole country on foot. Theoretically they could cross the whole thing between now and 2000 years into the future.

My fav trilogy ❤

His kindness killed him. Had he not have let that man go, he would not have been there to kill him.

Colonel's group were completely insular by this point of the story & they would see little girl as outsider at the very least and at worst plague carrier which she did indeed have. He was mad but also correct in his assessment. Nova would have been killed had they caught her.

Since we started in northern California I assume the desert to most likely Nevada or near abouts. Given the groups lack of supplies and Caesar's wounds I don't see them traveling much farther let alone all the way to New York. Ultimately from a scientific point of view the Statue of Liberty scene from the original move doesn't make any sense. Any natural phenomenon that could pick up the statue and physically move it from the New York area would absolutely destroy it in the process. And for New England to be permanently transform into an hot, arid desert would likely take millions of years of continental drift and tectonic plate movement.

Cornelious is also the Dr Chimp/ Zira's lover from the original ...

Thanks for the Bond spoiler. Very kind of you. Good reaction I guess.

There’s a new planet of the apes movie coming out soon which is dope

The best ending to a trilogy!! So epic! I cried my eyes out. Please go back and watch Beneath the, Escape from, Conquest of, Planet of the Apes (1970-72). Beneath is kind of strange but Escape and Conquest are excellent. You will see a circle of events that sort of connect the new trilogy. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is almost a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The OG Caesar is very much like the new one.

This movie was a tough watch from beginning to end. But great movie.

Love you, Coby 👋😍👍

It was Cesar’s story so I’m glad it came it had it’s a definitive ending. I also think the statute of liberty is the replica in Las Vegas not New York, that would explain it

Thank you...

the colonel shot his owh son because he was infected, that girl was also infected, he would have killed her to.

Nova is the name of the female in the 68 version. Enjoy your reactions.

This one hits hard love u coby hug your dog a little closer tonight

32:23 LEAVE HIM ❤

I’ve no idea why everyone is shocked by Bad Ape’s first reveal since you can clearly tell from the short legs as he’s trying to escape on horseback that he’s not a human

Your crying makes me cry, but in such a good way. Thank you for rocking all of these. *high-fives*

27:04 If you think about it, it's like a Rick and Shane thing between Caesar and Koba

It's 2,000 not 4,000yrs til Taylor crashed. These would be the West Coast apes settling near California. Taylor found the ones who settled near New York. You might enjoy the rest of the original ones, but the two sets of movies don't tie in exactly. They established a lore with the original ones different from this series. Seeing just the first one it fits together pretty good.

40:40 A non-speaking human is a sign of infection, so I believe Woody's character WOULD have her killed.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ to you Coby !!

You have to get to the theater and watch Kingdom

23:19 Bad Ape is played by Steve Zahn, you may know him from "Joy Ride", "That Thing You Do", in "F*R*I*E*N*D*S" he played Phoebe's gay husband who found out he was really straight after all.

FYI: Nova is the name of Charlton Heston's female companion in the original.

Notice Nova lost her speech but she still retained higher brain function how else did she learn/understand sign. Nova's caretaker (dad?) was still able to talk and presumable he was around her when she was sick. So taking this information, it's why when the colonel ops to have ceasar kill him it's bc he realized he still had his higher brain function and he had killed his son in vain. He just couldn't verbally speak.

Caesar dying is sad, yes. But if you look as these three films as the story of Caesar, then his death brings the story to a definite end. If you want to get symbolic...Caesar is Moses, who led his people to freedom, and through the desert, but Moses didn't enter the "Promised Land". (To take the Moses analogy further - Moses wasn't allowed to enter the Promised Land because of one incident when he lost faith in God; Caesar disobeyed his own law one time, by letting Koba fall to his death.)

Yeah, sad ending. But, that’s the potential cost of leadership, in dire times. That’s why it resonates better than the happy ending. The desert is also the symbolic imagery of Moses leading the Israelites across the desert to the promised land. The avalanche was also a sort of baptism. Washing away the past, marking the the line between the old and new. Sometimes when things seem a little strange, it’s because writers are using symbols. Notice the “crucified” apes, and Caesar also being one of them, before eventually dying in his efforts to give the apes their freedom. These things are etched deep inside of us, going back thousands of years, and so they are a sort of shorthand for the greater stories the writers are invoking. Some people use symbols with more finesse than others. This film was maybe a C+ to B- in that department. Overall, I liked it, because I love Caesar. But, the first film is so much brighter and enjoyable, that the dour mood of the sequels made them a hard adjustment for me. They had to grow on me for a while, despite loving the ape culture and the individual apes like Maurice and Bad Ape, who is sooo adorable. Ha.

I hope you watch the other four from the original series

I think that is the desert in the original I took this as they started of on the left side of America in San Francisco and then the desert was them travelling to the right side of America near New York And I think in Benith the Planet of the Apes they established the original movie is set in New York even if it dosnt look like it I think we are supposed to just pretend something happened to turn NY into a desert and jungle and if the beach dosnt look like NY switch your brain off They will probably do a better job making look more like New York if the new movies get to that part

We are a part of the great ape community. Not sure if it's species. Woody's character has a problem, he's absolutely correct in all aspects of his planet ape theory.

Did you miss the 'connection to Charlton Hestons girlfreind who was also called 'Nova'

I love this woman, she is absolutely stunning and seems to have an amazing personality, and she is adorable when emotional. However, she is so bad at paying attention to details in the movies. Lol

It's an old, archtypical theme. Be it Moses or Ceasar, the prophet who leads his people to the Promised Land never makes it there, himself.

Are you going to watch the original 4 sequels

Steve Zhan was bad ape and judy greer was Caesars wife Cornelia and another female played Blue eyes and the last femal played Maurice but i can’t remember their names at the moment. 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There are some horses that will Buck you off if you're not the owner

6:30 Birthmark

No in the original with Charleston Heston it was the survivors of the final World War that couldn't speak it's revealed in Beneath Planet of the Apes. The Old and New Planet of the apes have entirely different origin stories they are only loosely related. There was a completely different version from these two staring Mark Wahlberg

The desert is symbolic of the original movie. Remember there are no deserts in NY so what the original was showing is that during the assumed atomic or nuclear bombs dropped on the USA turned the Eastern Seaboard into desert wastelands. The confusion is that in the original the apes knew the history of human civilization and how they destroyed it during a war that ended by atomic or nuclear weapons. This reboot doesn’t claim this, they claim that mankind dies off due to a ape or monkey flu that was created in a lab. I’m the original the apes feared human technology and empathy for apes and nature in general so if a human was smart or aware that apes were the oppressors and would try to escape with other humans they were deemed a threat and lobotomized. In this new reboot the apes didn’t fear humans and just wanted to live in peace but humans hated apes because they blamed apes for the virus that almost wiped out all of mankind even though it was humans who created the virus. The original will always be my favorite because the plot and ending with the humans finding the head of the Statue of Liberty is absolutely iconic and mind blowing. These reboots that rely on lab created viruses and monkey flus are tropes that have been used so many times in movies such as contagion, outbreak, I am legend, world war Z, and dozens more I could list.

Easter👏 eggs👏 you👏 don’t👏 get!👏 Including for Beneath, which you’re gonna watch! 🥳 But there are some you would get, like Nova and Cornelius ofc. But did you consider the apes strung up on the Xs looking like the classic scarecrows?! Chimps have an average lifspan of 12 years, sometimes 15, but on rare occasion can live up to 60. The oldest known male and female were 66 and 70 respectively. I don’t wanna say you’re lucky, but you kind of are, to have not read the prequel novel for this because it made you love Cornelia and Blue Eyes. And then they get killed very early in this movie! 🤬😭 They all but explicitly said “these are your apes that you left to embark on your revenge mission.” I’m honestly kind of confused how you didn’t get that 😂 In the novelization the Colonel reveals that Malcolm from Dawn actually met with him to try and talk him out of fighting the apes. Malcolm didn’t walk out of that room 😞 Nova’s carrying the mutated virus, and the Colonel had all the ones who refused to kill the infected killed. I’m pretty sure they would shoot her. Or at the very least the Colonel would Are you saying you would take poop to the head in stride? 😂 Judy Greer is absolutely wasted. She did not need to be Cornelia. She does almost nothing across all 3 films, even when she’s way more significant in the latter two. Lake had more to do in 1! I am truly baffled by people who say these movies are just action and effects. I am glad you’re clearly not one of them
