Some people just need to be educated on the subject matter. There are some movies that are just essential viewing to any sci-fi fan or any self respecting movie go-er.

Cylon is great, but I would like to broaden his horizons. There are some others out there who are uncultured swine, but not him. Some people just don't appreciate the fine arts.

I've never seen the original POTA movies, so I came to just post this:

Only seen the reboot movie with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter series) in it as the villain. No interest for the classics cause it looks bad tbh..

Like I posted on the other thread the movies are great but haven't seen them in more than ten years.
POTA- classic POTA2-mostly the same plot POTA3 - awesome POTA4-awesome POTA5-meh Remake-ok Reboot-haven't seen

Never saw the TV show but wouldn't it be able to fit pos POTA5, the apes take control of the world again but this time since it's post pota5 humans are more educated and are used as slaves instead. Sure it's a depressing ending to the franchise but hey so were the first 3 movies.

Let's not forget the cartoon Return to the Planet of the Apes.

Also non-canon since the apes use vehicles and have modern technology...unless the cartoon takes place in the ending of the Burton remake where we see apes with vehicles and modern technology as well. Heck haven't seen the reboot films but maybe they could fit in Burton's ape movie in there. Hell, the movies deal with time travel and splitting timelines, everything can be canon.
Now this image is appropriate:
Spoiler:
EVERYTHING IS CANON

Looks bad or looks old?
I thought the same and only watched them one day I was bored and ended up liking them.
The movies are great.

Watch the very first one at least. It's a classic. You'll understand why the franchise became so popular.

Watch the original. It's a brilliant film and there's a reason it's left a mark on society.

I have to re-clarified, I watched RISE of the Planet of the Apes (2011). I never watched the reboot 2001 nor the classic 1968.

But hopefully that's soon about to change cause now I'm interested.

If you're not sure you'll enjoy them, watch the original and see what you think afterwards. It doesn't matter (to me) if you don't watch the sequels or 2001 remake. Definitely watch Rise and Dawn though.

I liked the 2001 remake by Tim Burton, that one had some really good Makeup FX.

Who can forget when the apes invaded WWF Raw is War and helped Chris Jericho make fun of the McMahons. Another reason to thank the Burton reboot.

I know, right? Tim Roth was unrecognisable!
