Planet Of The Apes Movies In Order 2011

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the simian cinematic sensation that is the Planet of the Apes reboot series! Prepare for ape-tastic action, philosophical ponderings, and enough hairy primates to make your local zoo jealous.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011): From Zero to Hero, Ape Style

Imagine you're a scientist, tinkering with stuff in a lab. One day, your experiment goes bananas (pun intended!) and you accidentally create super-smart apes! That's basically the plot of 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.

We meet Caesar, a chimpanzee with brains that would make Einstein blush. He starts off cute and cuddly but quickly realizes humans aren't always the nicest creatures.

Cue the epic ape uprising! Caesar, leading his fellow apes, decides it's time for a change of scenery – and a new world order. Think of it as a really hairy version of a school walkout, only way more dramatic.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014): Monkey See, Monkey...Negotiate?

Fast forward a few years, and things are...complicated. The apes have their own little community in the woods, and the humans are just trying to survive a nasty virus. Awkward!

Caesar, now a wise and grizzled leader, wants peace, man. He's like the ape version of a hippie diplomat, trying to broker a truce between species.

But some apes (and some humans!) just want to fight. Imagine your family Thanksgiving dinner, but with more screaming and less mashed potatoes. Apes are fighting, Humans are fighting, the only thing that seems certain is that someone's gonna start a brawl.

This movie is basically one long, tense negotiation, punctuated by explosions and incredibly expressive CGI apes. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question the meaning of existence. What more could you want?

War for the Planet of the Apes (2017): Ape-ocalypse Now!

Okay, things have officially hit the fan. It's all-out war between humans and apes. Think 'Apocalypse Now', but with more monkey business (again, pun intended!).

Caesar, bless his hairy heart, is pushed to his absolute limit. He's facing tough choices, betrayals, and enough existential dread to fill a barrel. You could compare him to Moses, leading his people through the wilderness.

The apes are fighting for their survival, and let’s be real, they deserve to win. Prepare for some seriously intense battle scenes, heartbreaking moments, and a whole lot of thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be human (or ape!).

Why You Should Watch (or Re-Watch!) This Trilogy

Seriously, these movies are fantastic! They're not just about apes throwing poop (although there's a little of that too). These movies makes us think about big important themes.

Think about prejudice, war, and what it truly means to be civilized. They also prove that Andy Serkis is a genius. Without him, Caesar would just be a bunch of pixels!

So grab some popcorn, gather your friends (or apes, if you have any), and prepare for a wild ride. This Planet of the Apes trilogy is a modern masterpiece. You will laugh, cry, and wonder, just who the real "animals" are.

Go watch the apes take over, you won't regret it!

"Apes together strong!"
