This is my favorite installment of the trilogy. Caesar's arc across these three movies is mythic!

Michael Giacchino really made these movies feel epic with his music. He’s my favorite composer. He did The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, Rogue One, The Batman, the MCU Spider-Man trilogy, and many more incredible soundtracks

You can thank Director Matt Reeves for Dawn and War! Man also did The Batman with Pattison.

still holds up as my favorite trilogy

Trust me, the first from the 60's is an absolute classic and it's really worth a watch.

I forgot how dark, gritty, and violent this movie really is, holy crap

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes will seriously be the most anticipated movie of next year on my radar. I ❤️ your reactions, primate.

Primate, the lore and subtext of the original PotA movies are ALWAYS RELEVANT. The story is actually dope AF. It gets a little wonky in the 3rd movie, but you should definitely check them out.

There is Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes coming out in 2024 and it will be about Cornelius

Give the original movie a chance bro, the story and acting really elevate that film for it's time despite the special effects not being on the level as the CGI in this incredible film.

Now, Caesar can be with his family; his mom, his wife, his eldest son even Will and HIS family in the afterlife

Mercy is not weakness. I always admired how Caesar never wanted to kill the humans in this trilogy, rather just break free from their rule. I never saw it as him being weak, but as Caesar actually being the bigger individual. Caesar was a great leader because he kept his eye on the actual goal, which was for his kind to be free from human rule. He only killed when it was absolutely necessary and he always did his best to not make things personal. In Dawn of the Planet of the Apes when Caesar and the other apes rencountered the humans he even tried to make peace with them rather than go to war, because he knew how devastating war could be for both the humans and the apes. A wise leader always searches for peace if it is possible rather than solve problems through violence. Caesar didn’t force the apes to hate the human race, he didn’t ask them to kill every single one of them (like Koba), he just thought about what was best for his kind. Caesar knew in order to be a higher species you must be better than the ones who abused you. I saw the trailer for the 4th movie and I’m so hyped for it! Tho it seems some apes have learned nothing from the humans and are beginning to act just like they did after becoming the dominant species. Hopefully this new character (who I believe is named Noa) will take after him and follow in his footsteps.

The virus evolving to take away human's ability to speak is a connection to the original film, where humans had lost the ability to speak and a lot of their higher thinking. Cornelius was also the name of one of the main apes in the original film. This movie has some of the clearer connections to the original, whereas Rise just had blink and you miss it news report about the space shuttle carrying Charlton Heston's character from the original film.

This was the best ending imo Cesar got his people to safety even if it cost him his life and he made sure they were ok in the end even told Maurice to watch over them I still believe that we might get a continuation with his son Cornelius but I don't think we'd get that anytime soon Keep up the good work Primate fr fr u doing ya thang 💯

44:49 You say that alot dude. A wise mutant once " In times of peace never forget the possibility of war in times of war never forget compassion."

Definitely in the TOP 3: Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Dark Knight trilogy, and Planet of the Apes trilogy

Premise for Kingdom, coming out next year: *Years after the events of War, many ape clans have emerged in the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral state. One ape leader perverts the teachings of Caesar to enslave other clans in search of the last traces of a secret human technology, while another ape embarks on a journey to find freedom side by side with a human girl* There’s also supposed to be apes that have never heard of Caesar or his teachings

I'm a fan of all the original Planet of the Apes as well as the newer ones. I think the originals are such a look at human behaviour

This is one of the best movie trilogies ever. Can't wait for Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes to come out next year

2:05 LITERALLY. No one talks about these films, when they should really be considered with the best films of all time

I got to work with Terry Notary, the movement choreographer and ape performer for this trilogy, on a film called Call of the Wild. It was incredible what he and his team do, in that film he performed as Buck, although the film bombed Terry was incredible. Out of all the POTA films, originals, remake and this trilogy, War is by far my favorite. I cannot wait for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

There deleted where the colonel said he killed Malcolm to Caesar and he tells him about it so that’s what happened to him like you can find and see the deleted scene also you should check out the original one.

10:46 well since you asked 🍩🦊👍 Chimpanzees up to 30-50 years Gorillas up to 30-40 years Bonobos up to 45-50 years Orangutans up 30-50 years And that’s in the wild but since they’re smarter, I can say they could probably love their 70s or more

I can't think of any other film this CGI heavy that looks this real. Just phenomenal. You can watch the first film from the original *_Planet of The Apes_* (1968), as it actually makes for a solid follow up to this film IMO.

These are actually like prequels to the originals and Charlton Heston is great in it he's an actor that gives me feelings like no other. You have to watch it at least to watch Charlton Heston. I like every single one of the originals, all 5 of them.

16:25 imagine being a silver back beating the shit outta people 😂😂😂😂

Thanks, Primate! 🦍 Please keep your mind open about the originals... at least watch the first one... to see where/why all the hype began. It's kind of fun to imagine the mindset of people who first saw movies from ages past. It's a bit like time travel! #ItsAPrimate #MattReeves #WarForThePlanetOfTheApes

I’m from Vancouver Island where they filmed War and Dawn. I’ve been to the locations and know where the scenes were shot, it’s cool to see it in sci fi action movies like these.

Hey man, just a heads up because you mentioned that you didn't know if that silverback was the original one that Caesar let free, it wasn't. The one he freed was named Buck and he was the one who sacrificed himself to the chopper on the golden gate bridge fight scene in RISE. I'm glad you loved this trilogy as much as a did. It has such a powerful message and it doesn't get talked about enough.

This trilogy is very close to perfection in my mind. Thank you for reacting to it. Hail Caesar. ❤️

This concludes the Ceasar trilogy. There will be a fourth movie, which takes place quite some time after this movie. It follows Cornelius. I hope it is as good as these movies.

i begged my sister to take me to watch this when I was 10. i’m so glad she said no cause I would not be able to handle it 😭

Oh man I can’t wait for your reaction to the next movie! It’s a good one, I loved the original trilogy and I really enjoyed the 4th movie! I hope you like it too!

Dont judge the original movies! It may look dated. But the story is not bad. Gotta respect, no cgi, all practical, even the make up. For that time, it was wild to see. Dont judge a movie by its looks, its better than the star war sequels at the very least

I think i read somewhere that Kingdom is not gonna be about corneilus but maybe he'll be in it? idk. Thing is Matt Reeves and the team won't be back for that one, he's busy with The Batman saga and he did such an amazing job with Dawn and War so it's kinda sad to not have him included.

Check out the 1st of the old ones - its not the same story but loosely connects timeline wise

This is easily the Best one out of all 3...so much Heart, most Emotional Drama, and gets Me Crying-Ugly every time!😭💔 Caesar's Legacy is supposed to continue Next Year, with "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes."🤞

The soundtrack for this movie is so good man

Congrats on the 100k

I’m pretty sure this trilogy was supposed to show how we get to the originals, I could be wrong on that but I swear I heard that somewhere

This was my favorite movie of 2017.

YES PLS DO INSIDIOUS lmao everyone says its not that scary but I was traumatized as a kid sneaking into the theatres lol

Caesar died the way u want ur favourite main character to go , he saved his family and got them to safety , his dying sight was him seeing his family on their way to safety , so nice to know

The og movies aren't the best effects, but they were pioneering in their time. Watch all 5, you wont regret it. They do waver in quality but they are very Shakespearean.

Haven't even started the video fr but I gotta say Congrats on 100k my guy!

Primate, my friend, I do honestly hope that you do the original Planet of the Apes movie... I know you said it's a "maybe".... but I think you will be impressed with it. I will say that it should be taken in the context of the era it was made. I was barely a year old when that movie came out, so I didn't see it in theaters. I saw it on TV as a very young child (It was rated "G", after all, and yes, the ratings system was very different back then), and absolutely loved it. The sad part is, that despite ALL 5 movies making the studio a ton of money at the time, with each successive sequel the budget was cut, because OTHER movies they made did poorly at the box office. As maligned as Beneath the Planet of the Apes is maligned, it DID have a noteworthy scene about the Civil Rights struggles at the time, as well as the "authoritative response" to such outcries. If you do watch that movie, I think you'll spot it immediately now that you know about it. There was a lot of "not-so-subtle" societal references in it. I admit, I am a little biased in my love for that series (as well as the TV series that followed it, but is along a different timeline), as I look at them through nostalgic glasses. But I do think the stories they tell are pretty good, even with the limits of the visual effects at the time. John Chambers (who created the ape makeup) won an Oscar for his efforts, IIRC. Also, I will again say that this series DOES tie into the original movie series for the most part. The only real difference I can spot is the year that the spacecraft was launched (in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes... it was shown on a television in the background... and easily miss-able reference to the Original movies). It was known as "Project Liberty", and there is actually a short film on RU-vid detailing it "In Universe". Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--SKbvqndVFY.htmlsi=5P3L3QHA_PZIJvuM But this trilogy can be seen as the "Original Timeline" leading to the original 5 movies. Also, one MINOR spoiler for the Original movie: It takes place nearly 2000 years in the future... so if the apes in this trilogy evolved as much as they have due to that "virus", imagine how "human" the would look in 2000 years time. Put that context into your mind when you do watch that movie. I can ill afford to donate to a reaction channel (I am disabled and on a fixed income), but I would give it a hard consideration for you to do that original movie series.

Honestly War wasn't my favorite at first. But now I am on the fence between dawn and war. But conquest is my favorite.

There is a fourth coming in may 2024

Fantastic end to the trilogy. Am curious what they’re going to do with “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” next year. Same writers but Caesar’s not around so it’ll be weird without him. While we wait, once again urging you check out the original 1968 Planet of the Apes film. SO GOOD! Avoid the 2001 Tim Burton remake unless you want to punish yourself

Congrats to the 100k Brother. Proud of you

so there will be a 4th titled "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" that will follow an older Cornelius and Nova. it finished filming late last year and is slated for a May 2024 theater release. although it won't be Matt Reeves directing, it'll be helmed by Wes Ball who did the Maze Runner movies which has me nervous.

I really thought the scene of Rocket revealing himself would be sooooo different. Rocket revealed himself, I thought was gonna fight Red, the donkey, and when the Colonel brought out his gun and asked Rocket if he as alone, Rocket would say (and he never spoke if you didn't notice), "I"m never alone." and then there would be dead silence, he'd look at Caesar one last time, then at the caged apes, and finally at the Colonel and shout, "APES TOGETHER STRO-" and then the Colonel would pull the trigger. I feel like that's what Reeves wanted to do, but having rocket help coordinate the escape from the inside made more sense

And the original planet of the apes cornelius is the head dude in charge, caesar is old.

That voice break cracked something.

I think for laughs you should check out the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes movie. That one was more of a direct remake of the 1960's Charlton Heston movie. There are some things very well done in it, so if you pretty much want to see how the original movie was but cant sit well with the old special effects, well watch the Marky Mark version instead.

This movie proves that if you really put the work in, you can do ANYTHING with CGI

This was fire, last one was peak though 💯

When Matt Reeves was hired to direct The Batman, this trilogy is how I knew it was going to be GREAT (he directed Dawn and War)

This third one is straight up biblical. It feels like the story of Moses

"maurice is the Uncle Iroh of this story" 👏👏👏 Motherfucker YES!!!

There's a 4th movie planned for release next year in May.

Definitely should check out the Underworld movies

Oh, I’m so excited for you to watch this!!!

Also congrats on cracking 100K

The originals are fucking great as someone who is not into old films and janky lookin ish those movies are awesome

It WAS highly talked about when they came out. But its over....thats why no one talks about it. Everyone who has seen it loved them all.

There is talks of a 4th one but idk if it is happening. You should def check out the first original though and if you don't like it then don't watch anymore but the 1st is a classic and I liked it. (Saw it later in life)

Watch planet of the apes with mark wahlberg

A super underrated trilogy. If I were you, I would check out the first original Planet of the Apes movie, just to see the differences between that movie and this trilogy. You don't really need to watch any of the original sequels

You should react to all 5 of the original movies

The original apes movie is seriously a must watch 10/10. I hope you decide to do it. All the rest of the OGs are rlly bad tho u rite

Primate, please react to I, Robot and Enemy of the State, your last two Will Smith movies you haven't watched yet. It's been a few years since you've said you had yet to watch them. Why not put them in the books as you say after watching something? Good way to finish off the year either before or after October . I know October is a year for horror flicks.

Primate if you like sci fi watch the originals pls

This movie is basically an allegory to the book of exodus. loads of similarities to what Moses went through leading his people to the promised land.

A lifespan of a healthy chimpanzee is around 30 years.

YES INSIDIOUS!

We watching the legend of Tarzan next??

There definitely needs to be games based off these movies. There is a game called Ancestors the human odessy i think where you can play as and evolve your ape as you explore and fight various predators if you want to check it out 😅😅

I LOVE all the Maurice respect. He's such a rock of support and good life choices. Edit: DAMN! Your uncle iroh comparason was on point! Dragon of the West when he wanna be 😂 You gotta be nicer to the originals tho. It would be like saying og starwars is obsolet because the bluescreen isn't as good as the new ones and you can tell that its uses modles and pupets. Like, what a tragidy. Dont be a graphics sentrics or you'll end up miss out on a lot of good stuff. Idk, i find old effects incredibly charming. And a lot of my favorite fantasy stuff is old. Like Willow and Dark Crystal, Never Ending Story, labyrinth, the original King Kong, godzilla, Mothra, og Day the earth stood still, dune and just sooooooo many more. Please give them a shot, you do get used to the practical and its well worth the hype. This trilogy are all prequels to the original so it not even the same story your sitting through. It also makes these films hit harder. Idk thank you for coming to my ted talk.

How about watching the 2000s Remake starting Mark Walberg

you HAVE to watch the original from 1968 if you haven't! you will have such a different perspective on it having seen these three.

This is definitely an A-tier, if not S-tier trilogy, but I think you will withdraw comparing it to LOTR once you watch that again. (Please finally LOTR extended cut)

My favorite one

Congrats to 💯 k subscribers!

You got to watch originals. I grew up with them I think story beter and some cheesy parts but 1st one and last 2 good but one big reverse story and the leads actors are legit

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

Primate, Primate, Primate. How can you call yourself Primate and not have the classic, original, Planet of the Apes on your channel? The movie is actually awesome! You will be surprised by the story, the acting AND by the practical effects. The second movie, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, not very good but still entertaining AF, but the third, Escape From the Planet of the Apes, is pretty awesome. But the first one? Chef's kiss of a movie. This trilogy is great, and War For the Planet of the Apes is terrific! ❤✌

Intro made me deaf 😭😭

Primate you gotta watch the originals at some point, at least the first to start it all and then venture to the sequels after if you enjoy it. To catch up for *Kingdom* I started the journey of watching the entire franchise, starting with the originals and man I don’t regret it, twas very informative and entertaining. There’s a reason why the series became a success and grew an iconic status from its starting point, but overall I think it would’ve added to your rewatch for this trilogy. There’s so many nods and references that you overlooked in this trilogy because what you haven’t seen in the original films. It’s a different vibe and era of filmmaking that seems pretty magical considering the point in time those films were made, there’s a few misses but it’s still enjoyable I think. I get it, how can you go from these to those right? The reverse of that would’ve probably helped your interest but even if you check them out on your own time and not a reaction, please don’t sleep on those films.🙏🏽

You called it?? You were a Koba apologist!

This series is still on my top series. While it did realtivly well at the office, people sort of got bored with it for some reason.The first movie had almost 500k reviews on sites like IMDB, the third movie has less then 300k. People lost interest. Many cleaimed it was missing the hear and sould of the frachise. Others said it was to violent or to dark. Some didn't like the "politics" of talking about slavery and fasicsm. Lack of good story, not enough action....etc were other complaints. I also remember many hated the end of the giant human army came, only to be wiped out by an avalanche. They thought it was a cop out of having a big battle isntead. Me? Its hard for me I loved them all. It's hard to rank which one was the best. This was for sure the most emotional. This was also Andy's second major role as a CGI charecter (Gollum), which got the movie alot of attention! Though he was screwed out of an award yet again for it.

Easily the best film in the trilogy.

Did you ever watch planet of the apes from 2001 with Mark Wahlberg

These 3 movies pay so much homage to the original 5 films. Honestly, no reactor understands what they're missing by not watching them. Don't get me wrong, these 3 are fantastic on their own. But for those of us who have seen the original 5, there's so much to unpack and point out in these 3 that go back to the originals.

Please watch Tron and Tron Legacy

Please just watch the original film! It may not have any CGI but it has the best story of any of them and is still a really great film. Don't be so ignorant...

From what little we know about Kingdom of the Apes, supposedly its about them in the oasis and some ape messing with Ceaser's teaching in order to capture other clans and look for "secret human technology". With a side plot about some other ape and a girl on some quest. So far the script sounds kinda odd. I do hope they maybe rewrite it. Also wonder how well it will do without Ceaser. Andy brought so much emotion to the role. Sure Cornelius will be in it but don't know if it will really feel the same. There is also not alot of famous actors in it. Which makes me worry about it being made "just because we can" for a money grab. It will either make or break the franchise.

This movie is too depressing for its own good.

You can watch the planet of the apes with mark walhburg in it it’s not bad at all
