Planet of the Apes

'Battle for the Planet of the Apes'' budgetary restrictions doomed the final installment of a groundbreaking science fiction phenomenon.

First 1968 film kicked off a franchise that's still going strong decades later.

With the House of Mouse buying one of the oldest studios in Hollywood, here are the movies and TV shows that could get revivals in the near future.

Last night my wife and I attended the 7:10PM screening of War for the Planet of the Apes. This is the third installment of the rebooted Planet of the Apes franchise that started with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and its sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes...

There is a sinister circular logic to the Planet of the Apes series. Characters journey to the stars and wind up … back on Earth. They travel back in time … and directly cause the events that lead to the rise of their dystopian future. Even as War for the Planet of the Apes concludes the story of the ape leader Caesar, it brings the franchise’s overarching narrative closer and closer to its origins on a desolate, sun-swept beach, one that looks a lot like the one Caesar and his monkey mates gallop across during their quest for revenge. That’s what makes these movies so troubling. It’s not the monkeys with machine guns or the gorillas with grenade launchers; it’s the sense that collapse is inevitable, that even when people (and apes) act with the best of intentions, they can’t escape the cruel hand (or paw) fate has dealt.
