I hope it’s not that pilot that causes the demise of the Statue of Liberty…I’d like it to somehow be a casualty of the ape/man war.
Bump. Watch it and watch the original before it if you haven’t already seen it.
now i must watch the first one.

Yes, you must.

Just be aware that in the original 1968 movie they are on some alien planet and that these apes you see came from Earth at some point…likely riding some jury-rigged Statue of Liberty after they defeated the human race.
They must’ve had poor piloting skills because they crashed the thing on a beach and thus tricked Charlton Heston’s character into thinkn he was on earth the whole time.

This is serious business we’re talking about, Nards. Stop gumming up the gears!

If you count the original Planet of the Apes, yes. But if you try to count Conquest for the Planet of the Apes, then just consider it a re-boot. A damn good re-boot.

They are ignoring all the sequels to the original and these new ones are leading up to / following on from the first Chuck Heston effort only.[/quote]
Following on from? I thought they were gonna stop at Chuck!

They will, but this is a circular story, so these new ape movies act as prequels and sequels, with the original POTA acting as a centrepiece to it all: Taylor and the Icarus launch are referenced in Rise. The flight left earth before the movie starts…I’ll say no more.
There is much tipping of the hat to the original. I think the people that didn’t enjoy this either haven’t seen POTA (shame on them!) or are missing the references.[/quote]
OH, I knew them mentioning the “First manned mission to Mars” had to do with something. Being a Sci-Fi Geek that stood out to me, makes more sense now. Guess I should watch the orginal again. I saw it like once on cable when school was out for the summer.

There’s a second reference to the Icarus mission. I’m not spoiling it if I don’t say exactly where and how it happens.
I’m probably going to see it again before it goes off general release. The standard of story telling is way beyond what you’d normally expect from a summer blockbuster. It doesn’t just rely on referencing the original and feelings of nostaligia associated with it.
The interplay between the primates is remarkably subtle: you can see that Caesar’s leadership is tenuous. This movie takes the franchise into uncharted waters.
