Though he was raised by scientist Will, Caesar is thrown into captivity after violently protecting Will’s father in public, where he’s aggressively bullied by a zoo guard. The new Caesar is the son of a medically enhanced ape, and he only grows more intelligent thanks to the side effects of an experimental Alzheimer’s drug. Taking a much more chronological route, the modern franchise focuses on how the apes gain control from the first movie.
Ultimately, this story – from “Conquest of the Planet of the Apes” – is the catalyst for the events in the rest of the movies in this franchise. After the super-intelligent Caesar is ripped away from his loving circus family, he sets his sights on revenge, secretly training his indentured brothers to fight back. But thanks to their ability to learn, they quickly become furry slaves to their human masters. Welcome to, and in this installment of Versus, we’re pitting the old “Planet of the Apes” franchise against the new to see which is superior.īoth “Planet of the Apes” franchises follow the clash between intelligent apes and humans, with each rooted in the 1963 Pierre Boulle novel, “La Planète des Singes.” We first get to see this battle four movies into the original franchise: in the futuristic police state of 1991, a plague kills all traditional pets, leaving apes as a replacement. These damn dirty apes sure have some cinematic staying power.
