Motion capture technology and digital characters were on the extreme rise in the Aughts, allowing the Apes saga to move beyond practical makeup and into a new special effects arena that would allow for more emotion in performance from the lead Apes. Gollum himself, Andy Serkis, lent his extraodinary abilities to Caesar, a chimpanzee whose intellige...
The prequels bring in The Batman's Matt Reeves as director for the next two movies, starting with the superb Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which brings back Andy Serkis' Caesar, years after the Simian Flu has decimated Earth' human population while the intelligence Apes have established a colony near San Francisco. Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri...

Charlton Heston only returned briefly for this 1970 follow-up, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, which switched up the leads and focused on a different astronaut, Brent (James Franciscus), who arrives on a mission to find the missing Taylor.

Escape From the Planet of the Apes is more touching and character-driven than the films before it, ...
Roddy McDowall returns to the franchise for Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, though now playing Caesar (yes, kinda/sorta Caesar the reboot prequels focused on), the intelligent ape son of Cornelius and Zira, out to lead a rebellion against humanity in the wake of a pandemic that's turned society into fascist slave-owners. You can debate as to wh...
In the final sequel to the original film, McDowall's Caesar once again tries to keep the peace amongst the humans and apes, after humans have been defeated, but uprisings spring up and the message is hammered home that power eventually corrupts all those in charge, whether they're human or not. Billed as The Final Chapter, Battle for the Planet of ...
