William H Macy's character was likely to serve as the reason for Proximus' intrigue with ancient human history as well as providing technology for the apes. Also with 1:39:25 you should definitely react to that trilogy
40:06 I'm not gonna lie when I watched all the original planet of the ape films the second one definitely caught me off guard with what I thought were humans but were telepathic aliens that worship of fricking atomic bomb !!!!!!!!!! I definitely see some people not liking this sinve it didnt really explain where they came from and was totally random BUT i would love to see a different take on that with mabye ancient reptilian beings "like" the sleestak from land of the lost but WAY different ?
At the end of the credits, you can hear grunting noises from an orangutan, hinting that Raka may still be alive! I hope so, he's practically my spirit animal in this.
The point of the old guy was to show the side of humans with a defeatist mentality because logically their would be some humans that quit fighting for a lost world. I don't understand why that is so hard to grasp.
100%. He is the other side of the coin from Mae. The essence behind the survival of the human conscience is to always get back up...like Mae. But than people like Travathan...who see what the world has come to...convince themselves that there is no getting back up.
He's not even a subtle character, he even had a whole talk with Mae to make you understand him. Now what I don't understand is how the RR couldn't understand something so obvious, but okay.
The scene of Noah crying over his father’s body is so simple but yet got me. The silence, the sniffling, the emotion, the way he just stares with no words and the emotion on his face gets to me
@@Trofnoker I see your point and can see that, maybe should’ve had the father live longer and die later in the movie or something, maybe even in another movie.
@@Ap-px2hy it was a good time to die, they should have built it before in the movie, the father teach him something, give more knowledge and wisdom, just a few minutes more. But is this the director of Maze Runner, his movies are superficial.
"Apes together strong" Means the apes are stronger together, but Proximus further interpreted that to mean that the more apes he had, the stronger he was, and so rounded up new apes whenever possible.
Throughout the history of religions, predecessors of the Buddha or Jesus have either intentionally twisted their teachings for own personal gains, or unintentionally misinterpreted them because of own biases.
@@austinlarrimore6542 it was in the trailer?? I'm so glad I stayed away from them because I was already going to be seeing it anyway so I wanted to go in as blind as possible
When I heard my fellow Canadian Kevin Durand was in this I was very excited but then I watched the movie and I just thought this wasn't very good the movie just seemed unnecessary
I love how people are shocked by apes warring other apes, Koba proved that they are not better than humans in this facet, so they are doing what every animal has ever done for billions of years, just on a grander scale like Humans since they are as sentient now. Really enjoyed this reaction its just interesting people dont see the correlations that they are just retreading Human history without great people like Caesar and now Noah around leading the apes to tread a different path through history.
William H Macy’s Character represents a Human who has accepted that the world is now ape dominant so any attempts to go back to a human dominant world is pointless and he’s right in his own way. Mae is a character who wants things to go back to the human dominant ways which is why she’s hell bent on returning the world to the way things were when apes didn’t talk. An ongoing theme throughout the movies that humans can’t accept a world they are no longer in control with and instead of coexisting and accepting the new world full of apes would rather try to force things to go back to how they were
Yeah I found it odd how much they commented about it when I had no issues. Another issue is that they have a lot of lighting in that room which makes it harder to see dark elements on the screen. There's a reason theater halls are super dark.
They sit in a bight ass room with a bunch of lights on them and they expect the brightest nighttime scenes in my opinion other then things like got season 8 darkness only helps the intensity of the part
So director Wes Ball is a massive fan of the game Horizon: Zero Dawn which he used for inspiration for the world. Taking modern day streets and buildings and making them into centuries old ruins that to the characters look almost alien but to us are all to familiar.
@@monsterking1973sadly the planned Netflix Horizon show was canceled before it even started because of a toxic show runner. Hopefully someday we get a faithful adaptation.
After playing New Horizon, I got that vibe from the opening scene where they go hunting for the eggs. Then, it really felt like I was reliving the game when they got to the bunker.
1:02:12 that doll that said mama was the evidence from the very first planet of the apes movie that proves human can speak. And then finding out that the planet crashed in was actually earth.
What is truly remarkable is how they have made FOUR prequel movies in this franchise so far and NONE have altered the canonical story of the original 1968 movie. They have overwritten some of the later movies canon but not the 1st one, and not really any of the 2nd one. Something else, the original 1968 series took place on the east coast of North America and all this is on the west coast.... this also frees up some the storyline to tell slightly different things.
Didn’t they migrate east in war? Like they were already in San Francisco and in war they are migrating like across a desert looks like. I assumed they went west but then I remembered they were already west so I assumed it was the other way around and they went east
@@austinlarrimore6542 IDK. That is very possible. Then the next question would be, how for east? In Kingdom I was under the impression they were still on the west coast. I'll have to watch closely for clues when the 4K disc is released.
@@box510motorcycles3 idk. Typically as an American when you migrate you think of western migration like in our history so that’s what I assumed until I remembered they were in San Francisco, and assumed then they went east, but it’s just as plausible that they went even more west to like the coast coast of some other part of California
how would that be a safe haven from the apes?? the apes didn't even have access to vehicles and you're telling me they made a whole electrified bunker? No, even thought raka says that apes made a safe haven for humans thats just another example of false history that continues to change. My guess is that Mae did live in there OR she worked with the humans who had the plans for that bunker hence why she knew that there was a alternative access point.
@@goldfishPACIFIER Not a safe haven from the apes, but a secure bunker from the virus, and the fighting that broke out when the virus got totally out of control. Standard 'government goes underground and waits it out with the intention of coming back and sorting things out once it all blows over' scenario. This bunker apparently wasn't properly supplied and secured for how long the crisis ended up lasting, as the bunker that Mae came from was. Mae was raised in the bunker she brought the drive/encryption key back to in the end. It's possible that Mae's bunker took in some people who evacuated Proximus's bunker which would explain both how they got the location and that there was a secondary entrance.
Proximus Caesar: Are you familiar with the concept of evolution? In their time, humans were capable of many great things. They could fly, like eagles fly. They could speak across oceans. But now, it is our time... and it is my kingdom. We will learn. Apes will learn. I will learn. And I... will conquer. 👏👏👏👏👏
No, but still liked it, saw it twice a cinema. Once with my brother in english and once with my cousin and my brother again but in spanish (the only one available at the time)
I went to see this with my mum because nobody else would come with me lol. She hasn’t seen a single one of these films but still loved this one! I think that says a lot lol. I loved it too!
I'm gonna view this the same way I did with kung fu panda movies. There's a complete trilogy, and this is the start of a new story/journey. Top one for me was Dawn.
Something tells me Wes ball really LOVES directing scenes during the night in his movies, like it is so specifically shot and lit up that it feels so cinematic.
Greg not getting why Macy was in the movie was funny. ^_^ He is there to teach Proximus book knowledge, to help the apes. Like a scholar. He just accepted his fate and serves Proximus.
As much as I absolutely love the first trilogy. I fully believe this film stands with them if not above them. I cannot wait to see where Noah's story will go! Also, huge shout out to Wes Ball, who directed this movie. I now have complete faith that he WILL do The Legend of Zelda film justice.
To the complaint of the dark scenes being very hard to see. They absolutely weren't hard to see in the theater. Obviously you're not watching in a theater, and idk what kind of screen Greg has you all watching these films and shows on, but maybe invest on an OLED screen. The extreme darks on an OLED are way more visible. Just a suggestion.
Trevathan is in the movie to showcase the people who assist and help their own captors, even against their own people. He is a representative of the people who will do anything to survive, even working for the downfall of their own by collaborating with the enemy. He has given up all hope of any other existence outside the rule of the Apes, so he does their bidding.
Director Wes Bell also made the Maze Runner trilogy. You should watch that. And Ball is also gonna direct The Legend of Zelda movie next. I really like how this movie set things up up for what comes next. We all know humans and apes can't coexist, and I'm nervous to see what the nail in the coffin will be. It'll be something terrible, hopefully something even worse than what Koba did.
If i had a nickel for every movie in 2024 that has a tyrannical ape as the main villain, I'd have 2 nickels which isn't much, but weird it happened twice
What a wonderful day! What a surprisingly great movie! I'm always slightly worried when they continue or reboot old franchises when they have such amazing or definitive endings, especially a Trilogy as legendary as the Caesar Planet of the Apes trilogy. However, I am very happy to report that I think they took the best approach to continuing a franchise like this by acknowledging and respecting the previous films and have their consequences looming over the world as they continue without them while also carving out their own independent Frontier with their own original characters and ideas for new and exciting unique stories. I could talk about this movie for hours, but I'm going to leave it at that and give this movie an 8.5 out of 10!
I know we need to be able to see you all but it seems like you have a hard time with seeing the movie so maybe there's a good compromise for how much lighting to use for us to see you.
@@alexp601never had any issues watching it on the home tv with the family, smaller screen, slightly lit room. the movie isn’t the problem in that regard
I think William h Macy was in the movie to show that Mae was willing to sacrifice a human, for the bigger picture. She was willing to kill one, to save the many. Thus setting her up to betray Noa. Also it shows that Proximus didn’t need just any ol human, he needed Mae specifically
Upon a second viewing you can see a different mentality in Mae's expression when she sees the primitive humans. And when Rakka asks "Would you like to join them?" Thinking she feels relief. It really shows her sadness and fear of becoming lesser. Such a good misdirection
Proximus had the human teaching them history, so when asked about Caesar the only Caesar in history books would have been Julius Caesar. Proximus took his teachings to heart
I love this movie SO much. Second favorite of the modern apes right behind Rise. I ate up their world building like a dog discovering peanut butter. Can’t wait for more!
I absolutely love this movie because the series as a whole has been close to my heart and I’ve actually always wanted to do Ape mocap. More than that, I graduated in the day the movie released and watched it with my friends …. But we all fell asleep 😭😭
Fun reaction, so thank you, but I think this was the point of Macy's character: a) to be a counterpart to Mae with the the Ape-Human conflict in the movie, b) to help demonstrate Mae's moral ambiguity, c) kind of like Proximus he's a character who has the wrong methods (e.g. in his case being a defeatist/bootlicker to a dictator), but he also isn't wrong when he says it's already the Ape's world with there being no going back to the old world, d) Macy is a great character actor, so he's a welcome addition to most any movie including this one.
Im pretty sure that the talking doll and book showing apes in cages were easter eggs for the original Plant of the Apes. If i remember correctly, Charlton Heston's character finds them in a cave towards the end of the movie
My boyfriend, myself, and his family went to see this in the theaters, and I was more interested and into the movie than my boyfriend was😂😂 The funny thing is, he loves the trilogy so he was excited to see it, but I was showing all kinds of emotions throughout this film more than he was😂😂
This was my favorite in the franchise. Absolutely blown away by the VFX and the emotions displayed each of the apes, even more so than the humans. The direction and plot were well written.
Roka sounded so familiar, and I couldn't figure out who he is...and then I finally figured it out. It's Bortus from The Orville. Peter Macon. Which...if y'all haven't watched that...please do. Such a fun show.
the voices in this: noa is voiced by owen teague. still small roles, known film he was in was it chapter two and played patrick. show wise he was the main lead in the stand. surprisingly keven durand voices proximus in this. peter macon is raka. peter main roles is in the orville and from time time he voices preston loyd in family guy.
I heard that this movie is planned to kick off the new trilogy. What I wanna see is life outside of US. It would be great to see non-English speaking apes lmao. But, seriously. Since the pandemic is global, apes existing in other parts of the world could also gain intelligence, right? But well, since this movie shows that there are probably still many surviving humans (not the primitive ones) out there, some parts of the world might have vast amount of speaking humans and no apes at all (given the comparison of human and apes population).
You should make the lighting in the viewing room less bright if you're having trouble watching darker scenes. Bring it down a bit, we can still see your reactions even if it isn't fully lit like it is now.
@richardthemagician8991 Well you said "has ever been" so I was considering all of the movies. Also there are multiple movies being made at the same time compared to this being one movie being made at once. Not a fair comparison to consistency. Not to mention the difference in years and directors. I don't mean to sound like a smart guy or anything I just don't think MCU is a fair comparison
@@TheRealZOLO1 and I stand by that. "Has ever been" also includes phase 1. My statement was also hyperbole. But I think even upon further examination, it's still accurate.
@richardthemagician8991 I mean it is accurate, it is more consistent, but I don't think superhero movies and movies about apes should be compared as there two different things. Mcu doesn't need to be brought up tbh
I know there’s no obvious link between Noa and Caesar but I think it was a nice choice making Noa look like him if not for any reason other than to honor him
back in 2017 after I saw 'War' in Theaters, I felt like the Series should not be Continued after that Trilogy's Ending. but After I saw this Film, My mind Changed. Now I'm Pretty Damn Optimistic about where this New Series could go. Noa had Big Shoes to fill, and He proved Himself to be a Worthy Successor to Caesar.
I'm excited for the eventual remakes of the original Apes trilogy. I hope the end of this trilogy or the start of the next reveals the astronauts that took off in the ship in Rise coming back to Earth hundreds of years later (through a time warp).

However, I am very happy to report that I think they took the best approach to continuing a franchise like this by acknowledging and respecting the previous films and have their consequences looming over the world as they continue without them while also carving out their own independent Frontier with their own original characters and ideas for new and exciting unique stories. I could talk about this movie for hours, but I'm going to leave it at that and give this movie an 8.5 out of 10!
I know we need to be able to see you all but it seems like you have a hard time with seeing the movie so maybe there's a good compromise for how much lighting to use for us to see you.
I remember the night scenes being pretty dark, even in the cinema
@@alexp601never had any issues watching it on the home tv with the family, smaller screen, slightly lit room. the movie isn’t the problem in that regard
I think William h Macy was in the movie to show that Mae was willing to sacrifice a human, for the bigger picture. She was willing to kill one, to save the many. Thus setting her up to betray Noa. Also it shows that Proximus didn’t need just any ol human, he needed Mae specifically
In the first movie we hear news about a manned spaceship getting lost in space.
You guys should react to Boy kills world staring Bill Skarsgård, it's really good and awesome fight scenes as well
So excited to see you guys react to this movie! This movie is actually really great! 👍
Does Andrew own a pair of pants???? I need to know lol 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope not😜🤘
Upon a second viewing you can see a different mentality in Mae's expression when she sees the primitive humans. And when Rakka asks "Would you like to join them?" Thinking she feels relief. It really shows her sadness and fear of becoming lesser. Such a good misdirection
This man Greg is so hard to impress you go make a movie then
WHAT A WONDERFUL REACTION!
Cornelius is Caesars youngest son that lived, the orangután that was with Caesar was Maurice👍
Proximus had the human teaching them history, so when asked about Caesar the only Caesar in history books would have been Julius Caesar. Proximus took his teachings to heart
1:12:12
“Eagles attacking Proximates”
FOR CAESAR!
FOR RAKA!!!
Andrew flash Gordon should get his own action solo movie
Greg when he gets chills:👉👈🤚🤞✌️
This ones on you guys cus it was very clear on my TV 😂
I love this movie SO much. Second favorite of the modern apes right behind Rise. I ate up their world building like a dog discovering peanut butter. Can’t wait for more!
Btw the "Many Generations" later is actually 300 years later
My only question is how could you guys not see this in a theater??
im curious on you guys monitor or tv settings because i never had trouble seeing
One of the best movies of this year! This franchise is seriously amazing. Very excited to see where this new saga takes us!
“The one wearing an ‘I’m an Evil Leader’ crown” 😂
Using the baby doll cry from the original was genius
Why so many dislikes?
I absolutely love this movie because the series as a whole has been close to my heart and I’ve actually always wanted to do Ape mocap. More than that, I graduated in the day the movie released and watched it with my friends …. But we all fell asleep 😭😭
Great reaction to this Planet of the Apes sequel
Fun reaction, so thank you, but I think this was the point of Macy's character: a) to be a counterpart to Mae with the the Ape-Human conflict in the movie, b) to help demonstrate Mae's moral ambiguity, c) kind of like Proximus he's a character who has the wrong methods (e.g. in his case being a defeatist/bootlicker to a dictator), but he also isn't wrong when he says it's already the Ape's world with there being no going back to the old world, d) Macy is a great character actor, so he's a welcome addition to most any movie including this one.
I think I’m in the minority:
1. Dawn, 2. Kingdom, 3. War, 4. Rise
i agree, when i was younger i loved rise but as I grew older maaan dawn is just such a nice movie that works on so many dynamics made from rise
Dawn
War
Kingdom
Rise
@@c-hildy that’s the majority- no disrespect- I just wasn’t as enamored with war as I was with kingdom
Im pretty sure that the talking doll and book showing apes in cages were easter eggs for the original Plant of the Apes. If i remember correctly, Charlton Heston's character finds them in a cave towards the end of the movie
18:42 I need that GIF. 😂
Rip Proximus ✊🏿
You guys 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️🙈🙉🙊…enjoyed it much more than I thought. I hope we get a continuation of this story
They had to open the main door to flood the facility with the explosives they set. They went over the whole plan before doing anything
The point of his character was to teach Proximus and read to him
anyone else have to skip past tara singing?? or is it just me? 🤣
My boyfriend, myself, and his family went to see this in the theaters, and I was more interested and into the movie than my boyfriend was😂😂
The funny thing is, he loves the trilogy so he was excited to see it, but I was showing all kinds of emotions throughout this film more than he was😂😂
This was my favorite in the franchise. Absolutely blown away by the VFX and the emotions displayed each of the apes, even more so than the humans. The direction and plot were well written.
RIP Proximus
One of my favorite movies of the year
idk what you guys were watching this on cuz the movie wasn't that dark lol
Roka sounded so familiar, and I couldn't figure out who he is...and then I finally figured it out. It's Bortus from The Orville. Peter Macon.
Which...if y'all haven't watched that...please do. Such a fun show.
There were no lighting issues in the theater. Maybe either raise the brightness on your TV or dim the lights in the room to see better.
the voices in this:
noa is voiced by owen teague. still small roles, known film he was in was it chapter two and played patrick. show wise he was the main lead in the stand.
surprisingly keven durand voices proximus in this.
peter macon is raka. peter main roles is in the orville and from time time he voices preston loyd in family guy.
Didn't see Raka die... He Will Return
I heard that this movie is planned to kick off the new trilogy. What I wanna see is life outside of US. It would be great to see non-English speaking apes lmao. But, seriously. Since the pandemic is global, apes existing in other parts of the world could also gain intelligence, right? But well, since this movie shows that there are probably still many surviving humans (not the primitive ones) out there, some parts of the world might have vast amount of speaking humans and no apes at all (given the comparison of human and apes population).
THIS MOVIE IS 300 YEARS LATER GUYS 👍🏿
You should make the lighting in the viewing room less bright if you're having trouble watching darker scenes. Bring it down a bit, we can still see your reactions even if it isn't fully lit like it is now.
I had to google the actor that plays the father because I thought he looked like Ron Perlman too!!😮😅
30:41 Andrew never saw Witcher?! Holy shit‼️
They did it again! It's incredible how they continue to nail this franchise movie after movie. It's more consistent than the MCU ever has been.
Well considering there's over 30 movies from the Mcu, I'd hope this was more consistent
@TheRealZOLO1 I was really only comparing it to the 1st 4 movies of the MCU.
@richardthemagician8991 Well you said "has ever been" so I was considering all of the movies. Also there are multiple movies being made at the same time compared to this being one movie being made at once. Not a fair comparison to consistency. Not to mention the difference in years and directors. I don't mean to sound like a smart guy or anything I just don't think MCU is a fair comparison
@@TheRealZOLO1 and I stand by that. "Has ever been" also includes phase 1.
My statement was also hyperbole. But I think even upon further examination, it's still accurate.
@richardthemagician8991 I mean it is accurate, it is more consistent, but I don't think superhero movies and movies about apes should be compared as there two different things. Mcu doesn't need to be brought up tbh
I know there’s no obvious link between Noa and Caesar but I think it was a nice choice making Noa look like him if not for any reason other than to honor him
back in 2017 after I saw 'War' in Theaters, I felt like the Series should not be Continued after that Trilogy's Ending. but After I saw this Film, My mind Changed. Now I'm Pretty Damn Optimistic about where this New Series could go. Noa had Big Shoes to fill, and He proved Himself to be a Worthy Successor to Caesar.
Tara slayed that whole intro without skipping a beat or stuttering 😭
how did you not see this in theatres???????
I'm excited for the eventual remakes of the original Apes trilogy. I hope the end of this trilogy or the start of the next reveals the astronauts that took off in the ship in Rise coming back to Earth hundreds of years later (through a time warp).
