    🦍 I want a BIG Comprehensive Premium release of all the “Original” Planet of the Apes series:

    Planet Of The Apes (1968)

    This is the movie that started it all. Starring Charlton Heston as astronaut George Taylor, the movie opens when he lands on a strange, uncanny planet. Taylor is horrified to find out that this planet is actually ruled by an extremely intelligent race of apes. Humans, on the other hand, have a seriously diminished mental capacity who simply serve as animals and pets of their ape overlords. Basically, it is a reversal of the roles that apes and humans have in the world Taylor comes from.

    Beneath The Planet Of The Apes (1970)

    The follow up to the original classic was Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Compared to the original, this film did not come close to living up to the original's greatness. Starring James Franciscus with Charlton Heston returning in a supporting role, it was an utter failure at capturing what the first film was all about.

    Although it was an absolute success at the box office, Beneath the Planet of the Apes was lambasted by critics. Many of the sequel's dretractors described it as childish and absolutely missing the point.

    Escape From The Planet Of The Apes (1971)

    Escape from the Planet of the Apes was the most critically acclaimed of the original five sequels to the initial Planet of the Apes film. While the original movie showed Taylor traveling from the present to the eponymous Planet of the Apes, in this movie the characters Cornelius and Zira used his spaceship to travel back in time to 1973.

    This film did the job better than any of the other original sequels of replicating what made the original so great. Reversing the situation by sending the apes to the past was a clever twist that kept things very interesting and refreshing.

    Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes (1972)

    The third sequel to the original movie, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes shows the rise of Caesar, who is a sort of mythological figure and savior who is said to bring about the actual Planet of the Apes. In this new world of 1991, a spaceborne illness has wiped out cats and dogs, leading to apes becoming humans' new pets of choice.

    Battle For The Planet Of The Apes (1973)

    The final film in the original series, Battle for the Planet of the Apes showed Caesar and his forces finally winning their freedom. Towards the end of the movie, Caesar decides to end the vicious cycle and spare the humans. Instead, the two races live together as equals.

    Battle for the Planet of the Apes was the lowest-grossing film in the entire series. Acclaimed film critic Roger Ebert described the film as "the last gasp of a dying series." Although the idea of Caesar's revolution would later be rebooted to much more success, this initial attempt fell flat.

    BRAVOoo!!
