Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since 1968, the Planet of the Apes franchise has continuously put out new movies exploring a version of Earth in which apes rule and humans are their slaves, and now almost every movie in the franchise is available to stream. There are a total of nine Planet of the Apes movies made between 1968 and 2017. At this time, a tenth film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, is set to be released on May 10, 2024.
Notably, 1968's Planet of the Apes was the first to introduce the famous plot twist at the end of Planet of the Apes where the planet is actually Earth in the distant future. The movie and its sequel also took liberties with Pierre Boulle's novel, adding its own characters and storylines. Namely, as the Planet of the Apes movies continued, they focused more heavily on the apes, including Zira, Cornelius, and their son Caesar.
2001's Planet of the Apes is a great choice to stream because, within the larger Planet of the Apes franchise, it stands alone. This was the only Planet of the Apes movie that Burton directed, and ultimately, it is the lone movie between two extended series. 2001's Planet of the Apes received mixed reviews upon its premiere, with most criticism pertaining to Burton's confusing Planet of the Apes twist ending.
Ultimately, Rise of the Planet of the Apes became the first of the current Planet of the Apes film series. 2024's upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes and is the fourth installment in the modern franchise. Like the original Planet of the Apes in 1968, Rise was a box office hit and succeeded at reviving the franchise when 2001's Planet of the Apes could not. In this way, it is a pivotal film for the greater franchise.
