Original Movie: The Rise of Planet of the Apes - Розваги
Yes guys! I will watch the original trilogy after i finish this one! Don't you worry :)
OG Planet of the Apes? That's 5 movies total. A...quintuplogy?
The originals aren’t a trilogy. There’s 5. But if you do plan to watch them all, YAY
This is a series I was happy to see this on your docket until I read the title(apes not monke)
APES TOGETHER STRONG!
I love this series story street has a great analysis of this series
Cannot wait for the 4th movie
dont tell her we want her to join the apes with us and its quintology@@Xagzan
or pentalogy
The scene where Caesar shouts “NO” is incredibly powerful. Andy Serkis' performance makes the moment simply unforgettable.
I wish i had been old enough to see the movie in cinemas (i was 5 when it came out), because from what I’ve heard, it was incredible, where the whole audience went totally silent at that moment.
I get chills every time
It's shocking too. Even with all that intelligence, I, somehow, didn't expect him to speak
Oh i didnt know andy serkis was cesar
Usually when i watch mocap performances i find it quite cringe but when watching andy serkis do it its a completely different experience
Andy Serkis’ performance in this trilogy is just a masterclass. Not only his movements but his expressions and mannerisms, you can see what his character is thinking and can read so much depth it’s just a joy to watch.
Very true.
“ There is not another creature as brutal as chimpanzees“
May I offer humans as a possibility?
As much I would agree, we're not as brutal as chimps. We're right in between chimps and bonobos. Not as peaceful as bonobos but also not as brutal as chimps. Humans have the capability of atrocities like chimps, we all know. But we're alse by default way more empathic than chimps, comparable to bonobos. A good example is sex. Chimps breed alot through rape, wich kind of makes sense that a strong male must be capable of overwhelming a female. Bonobos comunicate alot through sex, using it in a pacifistic way. Humans do both but the vast majority of us rather makes love than rape. It's just one of many analogies. My opinion is, that humans are the second most brutal primates right now.
@@Mandred85How many species did apes cause the extinction of compared to people the last 300 years
The first word uttered by an animal is in defiance against human control. That's amazing.
Imagine that not only apes but a sizable number of mammalian species have increased intelligence that would give them the power of speech
The apes do communicate some emotional states verbally. Its not that they lack the intelligence to verbalize more complex language but rather its a combination of inferior brain centers related to communications along with a general physiology of their throats that make producing vowel sounds necessary for human language difficult if not impossible. Since many apes have been trained to sign in a modified ASL it is also clear that while they can learn the meaning of an extensive catalog of words they still have a lot of difficulty articulating complex ideas in their dialog, basically operating at a young toddler (approx human child of age 3) mental capacities.
in fiction
@@azrinaswan80 Parrots aren't real.
@@azrinaswan80no shit Sherlock
I don't think ANY other person besides Vicky saw Caesar as a villain at any time.
I think she was expecting this to be a horror movie so was expecting Caesar to become evil
The whole time, she was looking down on the chimpanzees as scary beasts just like the humans in the movie. And as someone who's always so emotional, I couldn't believe that she wasn't sympathizing with the chimps towards the end.
As a primatologist thank you SO MUCH for reacting to these! 🙏
Also I can tell you that yes, most of the behavior, gestures, expressions, vocalisations even their social dynamics are very accurate. Some of it is changed for the storyline - Koba being aggressive and vengeful for a bonobo when in reality bonobos are known for their passivity and reconciliation rituals. Bonobos aren’t typically aggressive, Koba is the way he is as a result of the trauma of being an abused lab subject.
So other than artistic license such as these and a few others, what you see of the apes’ gestures, expressions, social dynamics, hierarchy, etc is very accurate, not perfect, but it’s at least realistic and believable. The behavior, body language, and expressions and the context and nuance of such is what people almost always get wrong, so it was really nice to see them get it right. You can tell they really did their homework, and as a primatologist this makes me so happy to see.
Apes together strong
😎 🐵 🦍 🦧🐒
Thank you for sharing your expert opinion with us.
I really love the implied character derailment of Koba. His brutal disfigurement isn't just external character design, it shows how awful humanity could be to turn a peaceful harmonic bonobo into what he is now; and what he becomes later.
@BarryHart-xo1oy
You’re very welcome. 😊 If you are interested, be sure to check out Frans De Waal’s presentation on Ted Talk entitled “The Surprising Science of Alpha Males”. It describes the relationships between different apes within a group and how they interact, from De Waal’s presentation you can actually see WHY Caesar is a great alpha male in the films, and how the behaviors of the other apes are also depicted in a realistic fashion.
Frans De Waal sadly passed away recently from cancer, he was 75 years old. He was a brilliant brilliant primatologist, educator, and really discovered the truth that while we humans are certainly evolved no question, we still retain much MUCH of our primate behaviors and dynamics.
Cool
2:18 "There's not another creature that is as brutal as a chimpanzee."
You forgot us.
Humans are way more brutal when we put our minds to it.
I was about to say that. Also 4:30 immediately after ^^
Of course, Koba is a bonobo, not a chimp. Bonobos are the most gentle of the apes, they come from the other side of the Congo river and they never meet chimps and have no predators. It's ape utopia and a fascinating example of how environment shapes genetics. As is Koba.
If Chimps could operate machine guns and fighter jets, we’d be toast
Get ready for the next two movies 😅😜
Sad yet very true-humans have a capacity for sadism and brutality that is unrivaled among the creatures of the world.
He articulated. He spoke a word which had been spoken to him, oh, time without number by humans.
_He said "no"._
- Cornelius
Fun Fact: The ape Cornelius spoke of was not his future son Caesar. According to the lore the first ape that said "no" was a gorilla named Arlo.
If you didn't realize when Caesar drew that drawing in his cell it's supposed to remind him of his house window to make him feel more home which would later on be his symbol of his ape clan and his symbol of hope.
You missed the part when they freed the apes from the Zoo they were taking pieces of the iron fence enclosure as spears.
In Senegal, there have been groups of chimps observed using sticks and tree limbs as make-shift spears to hunt bush babies (a small species of primate that burrows inside tree trunks), and the chimps will use the tree limbs to skewer them and eat them. They also use the tree limbs / spears to hunt rodents for meat.
No, she didn't. She just didn't show it in the UA-cam cut.
@@eatsmylifeYT I saw it. She was just talking about something when it happened. And to be fair, it’s easy to miss that they grabbed the “spears” as they left the enclosure even if you aren’t talking over it.
@@eatsmylifeYT also that was why she said “when/how did they get weapons?!” When they threw the spears at the cop car.
@@CrownlessKing88 Okay. I guess I was the one not paying attention.
The virus ALZ-112 is a reference to the original planet of the apes running time 112 minutes
Good to know.
24:12 when they knocked the fence down at the zoo they started ripping the bars off the fence which had well pointy tips for decorative reasons of course.
You are the first person to actually have a little background knowledge about Apes and Chimpanzees and it’s really refreshing. They really are remarkable and terrifying animals. This trilogy is one of the best reboots ever made and I hope to see your reactions to the other two just as fantastic films. I’m super stoked for the new film coming in May. 😄
if i had a nickel for every time a CGI character played by Andy Serkis bit someones' finger off, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
I know I've heard that before but I can't place it lol
@@passionsquietrage Dr Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb
Caesar chanelling Gollum! LOL
I love that they added that detail. 😅 it’s also true in real life as well. They’ll often go for the face/neck, extremities - including genitals 🫣as these are easy targets that inflict the most pain and disability on their opponent.
You can still walk somewhat on a bummed leg but you sure as zhit can’t feed yourself with a mangled hand 😅…or a missing face 😬
TBF someone took his whole arm off once.
“Humans don’t have those animal instincts” was very inaccurate. If someone was kicking grandpa’s ass, you’re going to come out swinging too. Unfortunately, Caesar is just physically more capable of harming the offender.
Next to Lord of the Rings, this is one of the best trilogy there is. And they both have the brilliant Andy Serkis.
And both trilogies had Andy Serkis in them!!! And both in CGI jumpsuits nonetheless!!!
Oh, absolutely, man.
@@matthewmiller9485Andy Serkis was also in both trilogies
That’s quite true-Mr. Seeks is the vital link between the Lord of the Rings and the Planet of the Apes trilogies.
Oops!l meant Mr. Serkis.
“They’re figuring out public transportation” 🤣🤣
it's about time someone did!
@@BigJohnLXV 😂😂
Ceasar is an amazing character but Maurice the Orangutan is my favorite ape. Gorillas are so loyal it sometimes breaks my heart.
I'm glad you are watching this trilogy. I get emotionally involved every time I watch them.
Maurice was my favorite too! Fun fact: he was named after Maurice Evans who played Dr. Zaius is the original films!
24:13 these spears are from the fence that Buck (Gorilla) tore down.
"Also, not a monkey"
Natalie Gold has made it a sport by now to keep referring to them as monkeys instead of apes, even though she surely nows better by now. 😅
2:16 "There is not another creature that is as brutal as a chimpanzee"
Uhh.. humans??
That "NO!" is just powerful!!
I've seen the original series and I liked how this movie took some aspects of the original series to this one!
The first serum that causes hyperintelligence for apes isnt lethal to humans, it just doesnt have the same effect on them- it was shown to "wear off" as effective treatment for his father. It was the new batch that was being worked on without his knowledge that is too aggressive & lethal to humans, but functions the same as the first one for other apes
Vkunia explaining the entire horror of this premise without realizing it.😂
She is an idiot so that makes sense
22:06 '''he can speak?''
''I can siiing''
🎶
I saw this in the theater with my brother and we loved it!
It's much better than the 2001 reboot by Tim Burton, which is now considered to be one of the worst movies ever made.
When Burton was asked if he would direct a sequel to the film, he said, "I rather jump out of a 10 story window than work on another APES movie."
I didn't hate that film, there are still things that impressed me about the updated one (makeup, visual effects, etc), but yeah, the ending threw everybody for a loop in the worst way possible.
@@blueroninstudiosI agree that the ending wasn’t great. But it was reasonably true to what happens in the original novel in 1963. The characters return to Paris only to find that apes are running the planet Earth.
That all being said, I don’t like the book much. It’s one of the rare occasions where the movie adaptation was,in my opinion, far better. The original Planet Of The Apes movie made some changes - chiefly that the planet turns out to be earth in the future - which was far more thought provoking that Boulle’s original work.
I can't believe I slept on this series so long. I always thought, pff, how silly. But damn, the first one got me so pumped! Like how I felt leaving the theater as a kid, like I could conquer anything lol. Can't wait to see Kingdom, I hope it's at least halfway decent compared to these other ones! Great vid 🎉
Tigers and sharks and bears (oh my) are definitely terrifying. But there's something extremely unnerving about a very humanistic animal with opposable thumbs that can tear your arms out of their sockets if they wanted to.
The “NO” scene is incredible and so powerful.
This whole trilogy is amazing.
Yes, Vicki, please "BORE US" with the details of how the fog develops.
I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. It's a pretty good trilogy, as trilogies go. I hope you enjoy the remainder. (I have no idea where they're going with the next one, but I'll be looking forward it.)
Now... I'm old. I grew up with the original Planet of the Apes movies. There were 6 of them, which came out as I was coming up. I guess the first one is my favorite. Origin stories are always fun. Of course, post apocalyptic... or even just apocalyptic stories can be bleak. But, they're still a good ride. Charleton Heston is always a win!
Thank you for the watch. I'll be looking forward to your meteorological explanation of... the fog.
Andy Serkis really should've been, at the least, nominated for an Oscar for his role as Ceasar.
V! great reaction video as always. i love that you not only appreciate the story, but the perspectives you bring to your reviews. you may be young, but you have a lot of knowledge and personal experiences that you bring. adds so much value. truly appreciate your reactions. this is why you are my absolute favorite YT'er
My mood unironically glows up so much whenever Vicky releases a new reaction that I'm interested in!! We love you V
I love the fact that VKunia knows so much about chimpanzees,about the difference between monkeys and apes,as well as the meaning of the word “primate”.She really has some amazing insights about chimpanzees in this video and it’s funny to think that the actor who played Draco Malfoy is in this film.
I can't wait to see you watch the rest of these. Especially this trilogy. Andy Serkis as Ceasar somehow is an even better performance from him than Gollum from Lord of the Rings or King Kong. They do such a great job making you care for Ceasar so when he finally says, "NO!" it genuinely gives me chills and I understand their plight and sympathize with it immediately. The next films are even better. It's an amazing series of movies. Probably the best film trilogy ever.
Andy Serkis is a great actor. His performance for Caesar proves us all his talent.
It's too bad he's an asshole who derided the work of the GG artists.
In my opinion, The Planet of the Apes franchise has always been at its heart, a social commentary on oppression and the "human" need to exert dominance and control over those seen as lesser..
*15:15*
When *Franklin sneezes and sees blood,* he's already *infected with the virus* of the *ALZ-113.*
This movie had no right being as good as it was. It easily could’ve flopped but it just goes to show you that you need to have a good story first before anything. Can’t wait to see you experience this series.
I've watched this movie, when I'm on the *Philippine Airlines,* since *2014,* when I was *13 years old.*
The main reason why I love this trilogy, is that in the end, it a war movie. You can replace all the apes/chimpanzee with human characters and it will still be a great story about a leader named Caesar.
Vicky, thank you very much. I volunteer at the Rio Grande Zoo as a docent and appreciate the fact that you know the difference between the apes and even know the correct way to pronounce orangutan. Most folks say "orangutang" which is not correct. Good job. I have been volunteering there for 13 years and know A LOT of fun, nerdy info about the animals.
The Mars space mission is a direct reference for the original movies. It's the exact mission's name that Charlton Heston's character was in the first movie. And I find it absolutely smart to have done it like that.
Yay! Another great franchise. A new one is coming out in May!
27:42 what I find strange about that particular apes behavior is that he’s a bonobo which is the most passive ape
Really makes you wonder just how fucked up the stuff done to him in the lab (and possibly before his time at Gen Sys as well for that matter) to make him so aggressive…
New channel: Vkunia explains things. Episode 1: Fog over Golden Gate Bridge 😊
Another classic story of what happens when science has no regard for consequences, just on a sci-fi scale. Don't make highly aggressive and super strong animals insanely intelligent. Yes, we should absolutely treat animals with love and respect. That being said, it is interesting to see how such a scenario could play out.
the same is true for AI. They progress the technology as if it will have no consequences.
First time I watched this movie with my dad, we didn’t know about the mid credit scene. We just found out about it while rewatching all these movies to prepare for the new one coming out.
As someone who had an undergraduate in anthropology I really appreciated the possibilities explored by this film. You mentioned that you too had studied anthropology. One correction; humans are not absent a single primal drive present in the ape family species, however, the development of the relative oversized neocortex plus strong cultural development as compared to the other ape species, mitigate those instincts in healthy societies, and in healthy adult individuals for homo sapiens.
I'll correct you in this one
"There's no other creature as ruthless or brutal as a HUMAN"
Disagree. Little Johnnie dont rip yer face off if he didn't get a piece of cake. True story.
Caesar killing the keeper was an accident. The fool was holding an electrical prod when he was about to be doused with water. And Caesar didn't kill the laboratory owner, he just didn't save him.
It's a supporting role and kind of small at that, but John Lithgow is sooooo good in this. I love him
The Space shuttle taking off to mars in the movie is The shuttle with the astronauts that come back in the original Planet of the Apes. It was a nice easter egg there that you didnt get
This movie is a prequel to the original 1968 movie but it’s also a reboot that ignores the other movies. And it completely reinvents the character of Caesar who has a completely different backstory and personality in the third, fourth and fifth movies.
When VKunia said grapes, I was thinking "Grape juice plus"! (Like if you get the reference)
After I watched this series I went back and watched the original versions and the scene where Cesar yells no in this movie is actually an aspect that’s used in the original planet of the apes. In the original planet of the apes they’re far more advanced and developed as a civilization because it’s supposed to be in the future and the main female ape talks about the first ever ape to defy the human race spoke for the very first time by saying NO
Thank you for being the ONLY person who can pronounce orangutan
I like it that you don't know anything about the movie and don't even watch trailers, it makes watching movies and shows more exciting.
This is the perfect trilogy....especially the second and the third one
Great reaction, but I wish you'd listened to the people who said you should watch the original from 1968 first (and the followup films as well; no, they're not as good as the original and each one does progressively go downhill, but the overall story concept is interesting) - there are a LOT of Easter Eggs in this movie that you will 100% miss if you're not familiar with the original series. I'm glad that you're going to watch the original 5 eventually; hopefully, when you see things in the original that were referenced in this movie, you'll remember them and go, "Oh! That's where that came from!" 😋
Regardless, I always enjoy watching your reactions to movies that I've enjoyed, and I look forward to you watching the rest of this trilogy. 👍
THIS TRILOGY IS GOLD I SWEAR!! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!! 💯✨
13:48 Actually according to a spinoff book he got that scar from an abusive owner.
I watched the Planet of the Apes movies in theatrical release order, which was a very interesting experience. (took me a whole weekend to watch all 9 movies lol) and then I saw the new one in theaters last Wednesday. And the references to the original movies in these newer ones is really cool.
"That's his gang sign" 😂
you should check out Outbreak, Morgan Freeman, Dustin Hoffman, Cuba Gooding. Great film!
Many references to the original 60s movies. The spaceship scene is one of them. Riding the horse is another
Andy Serkis gives an amazing performance as Caesar! i recommand you do the reaction on Dawn and War next. And don't forget Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is coming out next month.
Bro I literally just watched a video about the Travis the Chimp incident and then get this in my recommended.
I never saw Ceasar as a villain, but a victim. I've always felt that, even when I watched this in theaters.
Fun facts:
All the emotion, all the movement done by the apes, especially Ceasar, is done by motion capture.
Andy Serkis wanted to push the technology and ability to act as these characters further.
So happy you got to experience this film, can't wait for you to see the ones that follow!
28:40 "...we consider them villains". No, you considered. hahaha
7:42 The Redwoods AKA The forest moon of Endor. :)
2011. that's just nuts. i remember working at the movie theater at the time selling popcorn, drinks and what not.
This is the second reboot of the series. There is a first reboot starring Marky Mark that is between the O.G. 60's and this series.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being one of the only reactors that properly used ape and not monkey
I’d completely forgotten about the space mission that’s shown on the news just before the climax. That’s this continuity’s version of the mission from the original Planet of the Apes film. Boy are they in for a surprise when they land.
They keep getting better too. You have to continue the trilogy.
They are parallels to the original Plant of the Apes films especially in the 2nd and 3rd films which I loved and they made a TV series in the 70s it was that popular but these films are really good, glad you enjoyed it.
This is definetly one of my favorite trilogies, the second one being my favorite, can't wait to see you react to the sequels:D
The rocket that launched around the beginning of the action is a call back o the original trilogy.
"Let's not give that one (Koba) intelligence. That is the worst one to give intelligence!"
😂😂
Ohh I can’t wait for you to watch the sequels. This is one is good. But the other ones are amazing!! 👏👏🖤
This is hands down one of the best trilogies ever made.
Hi Vicky, you are looking lovely in white on this Saturday!🤍 The CGI with the apes improves with each sequel.😉 They are all worth viewing. I thought you were going to miss the end credit, which is an important one. This is really the first film that has eclipsed the 1968 original film. Great reactions to your first film in this series, Vicky!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
9:07
“Why does he have this evil look in his eyes???”
Because he is the same psychopath who played Gollum!
😈🤣
This was a pleasant surprise for me. I went in casually but came away being impressed with the story and the characters. I didn't really know what they were going to do with it. The second one is truly fantastic. The best of the trilogy.
Death by Gorilla rushing helicopter 😂😂
This trilogy is going to be a ride. The original is great too, but there were five movies. There was also a cartoon and a comic book, and a tim burton remake that's only worth watching because the makeup was amazing.
Monkeys are fun but u don't wanna test em'.
Happy Women's History Month VKunia!!
This was my favorite of the reboot trilogy because it was so far removed from the movies before it. Caesar is best boi.
19:40 Many people miss this scene when it's so, so important. The bundle of twigs is the political symbol of fascism, dating back to the time of the roman empire (strength in unity and all that). So the movie tells us outright what kind of ruler this modern Ceasar is going to be...
24:53 .... Vkunia meets Karl, the Fog. He's a bay area celebrity! For close to 40 years there was a radio station named KFOG
As for the movie... I look forward to seeing you watch the next two!
The the first and (probably only ) CGI-character movie that I can rewatch.
i am getting quite emotional with the years... when caesar shouts NO tears run down my eyes... wtf life?!
YES YES YES YES THIS IS SO HYPE
V YOU ARE STRAIGHT COOKING THIS MONTH
This trilogy is one of my all time favorites. I watch it at least once a year. I can´t wait to see the upcoming trilogy that is coming soon.
This is the one of the best trilogy, you will love it !
This film should have more fame. It is very good.
