Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I am glad someone argeed with me. Speaking of the classic they are thinking of making it PG-13 instead of PG because of the butt part of the movie.

Male or female?

Ceasers the reason they get smart and go ape shit on the human race

I wonder how many sequels will follow...obviously by the end the apes will have won with the odd few humans surviving or being made into slaves

I have a feeling that will not be determined by the artistic necessities for the story but rather by the box office of the movie(s)

That would help towards a sequel

Pretty sure the movie will explain it.

But people these days expect the trailer to reveal all.

Male

Dammit

Female.

I was not expecting it at all so it was a bit shocking for me the first time I saw it. and too bad! 😆

sounds like they will be closer to the original story. It was quite a series bastard in the past and with the recent remake.

Humans outnumber all other great apes by what...a thousand to one?

the apes are as intelligent as humans and have the element of surprise on their side. Add the fact that they would be able to understand humans but humans cant understand them, it's not THAT big of a stretch.

Also, humans may have the numbers, but half of those people are elderly or children so it evens out.

We live in a world where everyone has a cell phone and I can send a txt message in 4 seconds that will hit someone else's cellphone instantaneously.

Element of surprise? 😐 LOL

you haven't given this much thought, have you.

you're in a thread for a movie about apes who take over the world...

Right. So... yes, it's a huge stretch for monkeys with human intelligence to beat humans with guns. The type of huge stretch that can only exist in a fictional movie.

I dunno. That was my point. Dunno why you were disagreeing. 😐

Second off...even if half of the population is elderly and children that doesn't "even out" because that just means that instead of outnumbering apes 1000 to 1 we outnumber them 500 to 1.

We also have aircraft, tanks, poison gas, biological weapons, milennia of experience in warfare over them, and a well established military infrastructure.

Historically a vastly numerically and technologically inferior force can only defeat a more powerful force if it has a home field advantage or is being assisted by an external power. Neither are true here. Based on the trailer the apes somehow beat us in our own cities.

The Planet of the Apes uprising only works because its a movie...a dumb movie. You attempting to rationalize it is just hilarious.

I always thought that the inherent strangeness and farfetched nature of the premise of Planet of the Apes made it necessary for the genesis of such a world to be left vague. Did humanity suffer some kind of societal collapse leaving apes to evolve to fill their niche? Did anything happen other than apes somehow overthrowing humans?
