<\/div>\n

The Planet of the Apes<\/a><\/em><\/strong> timeline is somewhat confusing, with multiple reboots and remakes coupled with time travel shenanigans, delving into the Planet of the Apes<\/em> universe can seem like quite a daunting task. Some fans may wonder if it\u2019s even really worth watching every movie in the franchise, especially since the latest movies are working with a new timeline, but to answer that question, yes, it\u2019s worth it; if you\u2019re strong enough. <\/p>\n

But where do we even begin? Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m about to tell you.<\/p>\n

Planet of the Apes<\/em> (1968)<\/h2>\n
\"\"

The easiest place to start is the beginning; the beginning of the franchise, and the beginning of the story as a whole. In this film we are introduced to astronaut Taylor, (played by Charlton Heston) and his fellow crew members, Landon and Dodge. The team awakens from their hibernation after a long space voyage only to find themselves on a strange planet populated by advanced apes and primitive, mute humans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, we all know the shock twist ending; it\u2019s been parodied and recreated to the point that even though most people haven\u2019t actually seen Planet of the Apes<\/em>, they know how it ends \u2014 it\u2019s part of the reason the film has remained popular 55 years after its release. If you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about, maybe you should stop reading now and experience the whole movie blind. Don’t worry, we\u2019ll still be here when you come back.<\/p>\n

Beneath the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (1970)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the success of the first film, a sequel was put into production almost immediately. As most sequels do, it followed on from the events of the first film, Charlton Heston even returned for a small part, but requested that his character be killed off. The follow-up really didn\u2019t fare well with critics, who called it \u201cHokey and Slapdash,\u201d the general consensus was that Beneath the Planet of the Apes<\/em> was vastly inferior to its predecessor. It’s definitely weird, to say the least.<\/a><\/p>\n

The plot takes a pretty weird direction and let\u2019s just say, the ending doesn\u2019t really leave much in the way of options for a sequel. In hindsight, this film really isn\u2019t that bad; it\u2019s a cheesy sci-fi movie that does a good enough job continuing on the story from the first film. But where oh where could they possibly go from here?<\/p>\n

Escape from the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (1971)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Without spoiling the end of the last movie, it didn\u2019t really leave the writers with anywhere to go with a third movie, so they send a small group of apes from the last movie back in time. It\u2019s a wacky premise that would end up taking that franchise in an entirely new direction, and set off a chain of events leading to a Terminator<\/em>-like paradox.<\/p>\n

We follow Zira, Cornelius, and Dr. Milo as they escape their current time and end up trapped on Earth in 1973 at which time, obviously, apes are not the ruling class yet. The humans, naturally, would like to know how the apes come to rule over humanity in the future, and tensions rise between the two groups. The story ends with the birth of Zira and Cornelius\u2019 son, who we learn more about in the next film.<\/p>\n

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (1972)<\/h2>\n
\"\"

The fourth film in the original run follows the son of Zira and Cornelius, now grown up and called Caesar. It\u2019s now 1983 and gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans have been enslaved and are being used for forced labor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Much like the reboot 40 years later, we see Caesar band together with his fellow apes and lead them into a revolution against their human masters. At this point we see the genesis of the planet of the apes, so in a weird way it\u2019s all started by apes from the future traveling back in time.<\/p>\n

Battle for the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (1973)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have one more film in the original quintology. Unfortunately this is the worst-received of the five, mostly thanks to studio 20th Century Fox slashing the budget to the lowest it had ever been. Caesar is now leading the apes and the human followers, after a war has devastated the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Caesar attempts to build a society where humans and apes live alongside each other in harmony, which he ultimately succeeds in. Whether Caesar\u2019s ape and human society is actually a new continuity or just a brief period of peace before everything ends up just like the planet in the first film is up to the audience to determine for themselves.<\/p>\n

Planet of the Apes<\/em> (2001)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a weird one. Being a straight up remake means that you can watch this one at any point and it won\u2019t really affect the viewing experience. It\u2019s pretty close to the story of the 1968 original so watching it shortly after that one makes sense so you can directly compare. You could also watch it after you\u2019ve watched all of the others, although it\u2019s not recommended as even though it is a Tim Burton film, it\u2019s arguably his worst and it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.<\/a><\/p>\n

In general it\u2019s just a pretty bad re-telling of the story, and the attempt to one-up the plot twist from the first film falls flat. You know how some people mix medicine for their pets in their food? That\u2019s what you need to do here, sandwich this film in between the others and it will go down a bit easier.<\/p>\n

Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (2011)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This reboot can be viewed as a prequel to the original film, but it\u2019s probably better to just view Rise<\/em> and the subsequent films as an entirely new continuity. In this film, we are once again introduced to Caesar, although this time his parents aren\u2019t time traveling, super advanced apes from the future. His mother was a lab monkey, being experimented on in order to find a cure for dementia.<\/p>\n

The treatment has the unintended effect of making Caesar incredibly smart, and from here he leads a revolution as his fellow apes rally behind him and escape into the forest. This film marks a technological turning point as well, with the apes being a combination of CGI and motion capture.<\/p>\n

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (2014)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sequel takes place ten years after the events of the first, with a flu outbreak (known as the Simian flu) having wiped out most of the human population, apes now have an upper hand on humanity, thanks to their immunity to the virus. Of course, the apes come into conflict with human survivors whilst Caesar has to deal with rising tensions within his own group as well.<\/p>\n

War for the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (2017)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A few years after the events of Dawn<\/em>, the third film in the reboot continuity carries on the story of Caesar and his group as they once again face off against a human threat. The Simian flu has developed, now resulting in humans becoming mute and less intelligent. We see the struggle between the two sides, with Caesar ultimately leading his group of apes and humans to a new land where they are able to live safe from the threat of humanity.<\/p>\n

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes<\/em> (2024)<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Image via 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whilst many thought that War for the Planet of the Apes<\/em> would be the end of that continuity, we now have a fourth film releasing next year thanks to Disney\u2019s buyout of 20th Century Fox. It looks to be set a long time after Caesar\u2019s time, with all new characters and a much more advanced ape population.<\/p>\n\n
