  • Now that Tim Burton’s remake is all but forgotten,

  • watch the Planet of the Apes movies reclaim their place as the best talking animal franchise

  • since Babe.

  • Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

  • Wait, why does Dawn come after Rise?

  • Don’t you rise after the dawn?

  • Whatever.

  • Settle in for the thinking man’s summer blockbuster chock full of

  • complicated characters,

  • political maneuvering,

  • family dynamics,

  • and a monkey dual-wielding machine guns on horseback fighting a tank.

  • OK that was kinda dumb, but who cares?

  • It’s still awesome, right?

  • Thrill as apes engage in guerrilla warfare

  • against a society of way less interesting humans, like

  • the pragmatic leader who spends most of his screen time talking into a bullhorn,

  • "We are survivors!"

  • "We've been through hell together!"

  • this generic good guy,

  • this assh*le,

  • “I’m the assh*le."

  • this... woman...

  • and this... kid who... draws things.

  • Yeah, let's get back to the apes.

  • See Andy Serkis deliver an Oscar-worthy performance

  • by capturing the graceful movements and emotions of Caesar

  • and doing his best Christian Bale Batman impression

  • "One day!"

  • "Where's the trigger?!"

  • "Move him!"

  • while the cast and crew deliver an even MORE Oscar-worthy performance by not laughing at

  • a tiny British man in a unitard pretending to be a monkey.

  • Wow, when you take away the CGI, this looks f*cking ridiculous.

  • So immerse yourself in a movie full of stunning visuals and great acting, that will have audiences

  • everywhere ignoring its forgettable plot about fixing a dam

  • "The city used to run off nuclear power, but that ran out years ago so we've been using

  • diesel generators and gasifiers. But if we could just get this dam working…"

  • Blah blah blah blah.

  • And the super cliche death of the main villain,

  • because once again: apes with guns on horseback equals AWESOME.

  • Starring...

  • MVP: Most Valuable Primate

  • Little Caesar’s

  • Abu

  • Mojo JoJo

  • Not Hairy Oldman

  • Discount Charlton Heston

  • Ape-ril O’neil

  • and Damn Dirty Apes!

  • Actually, they’re pretty clean, and civilized.

  • And Damn Civilized Apes!

  • Rise of the Dawn of the Start of the Planet of the Apes

  • Origins

  • The Beginning

  • So, uh, how can I put this...

  • where are all the monkey dicks?

Now that Tim Burton’s remake is all but forgotten,
