This modern Planet of the Apes Trilogy is, in my opinion, one of the coolest achievements in cinematic history. Not just because they are just fantastic films but also because the interaction with animal and human, and the emotion they expressed between the two species is just mind blowing to me. Having a war between Apes and Humans and NOT making it stupid was a big achievement imo

I like many people consider Dawn of the Planet of the apes to be the best one out of the trilogy,but Rise of the planet of the apes is the film I find the most fun to rewatch. My favorite scenes have to be when the apes wake up after being given the Gen-z virus by Caesar and how they wake up with a new sense of awareness. My other favorite moment is when Caesar speaks for the first time by saying "NO!"

This new Planet of the Apes trilogy is definitely one of the best trilogies to ever be put to film. It’s incredible and masterful with how they do the CGI
caesar has the best character development for a cg character ever. to think he was being walked around the woods on a collar, to leading an entire ape colony fighting against the last remaining surviving groups of humans left on earth. it couldn't possibly get any better than that.

In all seriousness, I think a big reason that some people get so emotional about animal deaths and not human ones is because of how desensitized our culture is to human violence. I mean, just take a look at the MCU, where people are dying left and right in the background without any acknowledgement, or the video game industry, where 90% of games literally require murder as a game mechanic in order for the game to function. People just don't tend to actually think about the implications of violence and death because it's played down so much and so oversaturated in the media.
Rise is a great start to this trilogy, but it’s pretty much universally agreed the next two movies blow this one out of the water. Dawn is my favorite of the three. Brilliant storytelling and filmmaking. A true achievement.

This is how you reboot a franchise, go in an original direction rather than making a shot for shot remake
I’d love for Jen to see the behind the scenes on these film. It’s such a cool thing to see the advancements made in motion capture, through these movies. Plus, seeing the incredible work the actors behind the apes put in, to inform the graphic artists, is outstanding. Shame on the Oscars and Academy for not recognizing their work and performances as “acting.”
5:07 OMG ! I laugh so loud. I was drinking and I almost spit out the whole thing. The way Jen is relieved before realizing what Holden said is so genuine. That's a priceless moment! 😂🤣😂

Such a amazing trilogy! Dawn & War has still the best CGI I've ever seen, its crazy how good at it they got from Rise to War (and Rise is still very very good) Holden you should show Jen the "demo" they released of Andy Serkis talking slowly transition into Caesar to really show of much of Andy's performance there is behind all that CGI. It's up here on youtube.
This is one of the best trilogies to exist. I love how it started as a reboot, and transitioned into a prequel by the third movie.

I mean all are hard for animal lovers. But War is probably going to be the hardest. Although I hope Jen realizes these movies, all of the Planet of the Apes movies truly encapsulate broader things than what's shown on the surface (I.e. racism, prejudice, being better than the people who show you hate), because it makes the movies much better if you do I think.

So excited you are doing this trilogy! I love this trilogy. Such a good story arch and nicely paced.
The neighbor, David Hewlett, is one of my favorite actors. He's one of the main characters on Stargate Atlantis, where he plays a dorky mad scientist who's both sheepish and full of himself. Great character. In real life he as an real person is SUPER dorky. Like he salvaged a ton of the Stargate Universe sets.
I’m so happy that you’re finally watching these movies. I love these movies and I personally see these new planet of the apes movies as one of the best movie trilogies of all time.

“…where dinosaurs are killed” didn’t they start the killing first? 😭😂. This woman will sacrifice us all to animals I swear.
Some more trivia regarding the character Tom Felton played: The first and last name of his character were the last names of two of the astronauts in the 1968 film, Dodge and Landon( Charlton Heston was Taylor). The 1968 film was released three years before I was born and one of my earliest memories is watching the original on TV in the 1970's, as well as the subsequent films in the series. I pretty much grew up watching those films and it was a real treat to watch this new trilogy. I love the progression of Caesar over the three films and how Andy Serkis really brought him to life. Makes me want to pull them off my shelf and watch them again.
That “Harambe” reference will always have a place in my heart. Im from brownsville, tx where harambe was born and raised. They took him away to cincinatti and he was dead. Everyone here adored him, we even have a stone in the front of the zoo of him, RIP Harambe ❤️

I remember this fight between Caesar and Malfoy the first time. The theaters went on cheering in the 2011 release. But when the moment Caesar said "NO!", the entire theater went dead silent. What an amazing moment!
4:20 The nervous "we'll see"/foreshadowing chuckle gets me every time. Every. Time. lol
Watching it without subtitles is a different experience, but with it you can understand the apes when they communicate and that helps you understand the story even better. I suggest you guys watch the other 2 with subtitles. Other than that, love your content.
Holden the special effects has become so realistic that the way Peter Jackson has perfected it by getting Andy Serkis so realistic is amazing that sometimes you forget it’s cc. Just amazing this is Weta at their finest moment. You forget he’s not an ape. Really well done. Omg
Holden- “How are you feeling about going into this movie?” Jenn- “Monke”
I'm an animal lover as well but I think it's easier to swallow knowing the apes will rise up lol. This franchise is amazing, we can see so much of ourselves in the apes as time goes on and Caesar battles to keep his society from mirroring our mistakes & cruelty. The 3rd installment was so tough for me to watch that I haven't seen it since it came out even though I want to. I only remember a couple of impactful scenes, but it left me with a feeling of "this is too real". Can't wait to see your reactions to the next 2!! I remember liking the version with Mark Wahlberg, but recently tried watching it & I couldn't get into it, maybe cause I'm just a big fan of this one & the look of the apes.
Another reference to the 60s version, was the newspaper headline about the crew Lost in space.
I love the mind games Holden always plays with Jenn. Its hilarious
Another great trilogy to add to the collection
I was literally thinking about wanting to watch this movie today. I’m so hype
“ Sorry Boston I’ve been making a lot of jokes at your expense here have a popcorn……and CHOKE ON IT” 😂😂😂 I fucking laughed way too hard at this 😂

the dang movie hasn't even started yet and already I'm laugh crying! Those looks of "I know something you don't know...": Priceless.
Great review you guys ! I've watched this movie a few times but I just caught that clip with the Icarus approaching Mars is a nod to Charlton Heston's spaceship from the original 👀👀👀
Adore you Jenn! Loved the Jurassic Park reference, so I will give you this advice, Hold onto your butts. You guys rock and congratulations!!!!!!
We wanna see “My wife and I watched Moon Knight first the first time”

KZread Recommends me cooking videos: NOOOOOOOOOO youtube recommends me a holden reaction YYEESSSSSS
I agree that each movie is better than the one before. I remember some people thought war was a let down but I think that is just that they market war like it was going to be a lot of action and while it did have action it is more like about the emotion part of war.
Holden just shitting on Boston has to be one of the funniest recurring jokus in these videos
YESSS! This trilogy is an absolute masterpiece!
