This Classic Planet of the Apes Sequel is the Most Underrated

MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch, BA in Film from Emerson College

Planet of the Apes is among the most celebrated and successful franchises in Hollywood, as skilled filmmakers like Matt Reeves and Wes Ball and performers like Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, and Woody Harrelson have helped elevate it to blockbuster status and the audience's faith in the series was restored, especially after a failed 2001 reboot.

Thompson and writer Paul Dehn are clever in constructing this twisted world, and they examine it from all angles, refusing to pull their punches. For example, humans protest not that the apes are enslaved but rather that they believe the apes are stealing work. The human's effort to protest is selfish and unempathetic.

Thompson's direction is also a key element, as Caesar stands in blazing fire above his fellow apes, successful in their insurgency. This intense image is paramount to translating the film's hefty ideas visually. This revolution has not been without destruction. This is just one of the film's deeply uncomfortable sequences, as it beckons the audience to question where they stand. In this moment, Caesar is compelling, charismatic, and, most importantly, completely right.
