I feel like Andy Serkis is what kind of makes this movie what it is. Him playing Cesar & showing all those emotions facially & what not
Great reboot of the series, the effects are shockingly good and the world building is interesting! The apes are detailed & great characters
A solid start to an amazing trilogy. It has an intriguing storyline that is made by Serkis’ performance.
An absolutely stellar reboot of the series. Andy Serkis is perfect as Caesar. Great, lenght, pacing, cast and acting.
Not a bad start to this round of awkwardly titled Planet of the Ape movies.
saw it in middle school, remember it at least being decent enough to wanna see the sequels
Definitely not the best of the series, but still very gripping and a worthy origin to the universe
A great movie, interesting take on the planet of the apes story.
Not only does the CG hold up to this day, but the story is full of scientific intrigue and high emotion, giving it a well-balanced tone.
Rewatched before going through the rest of the series. The "you can't make X anymore" crowd would call it "too woke" if it came out today

A highly intelligent chimpanzee named Caesar has been living a peaceful suburban life ever since he was born. But when he gets taken to a cruel primate facility, Caesar decides to revolt against those who have harmed him.
A group of scientists in San Francisco struggle to stay alive in the aftermath of a plague that is wiping out humanity, while Caesar tries to maintain dominance over his community of intelligent apes.
Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
Several generations following Caesar's reign, apes – now the dominant species – live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all he's known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
