I say it takes place in about the 24th century.

Hah! I chose correctly! I based my guess on infrastructure decay depicted from what I learned from a documentary about ten years ago.on the subject.

So the Wikipedia article on the film says "300 years after Caesar's death." That's the 24th century.

That's too bad. I was so looking forward to purple haired monkey lesbians scissoring each other.

No it isn't. That's the 4th century or so. Wasn't Cesar alive at the time of the death of Jesus?

Hmm,

Says 100 BC. So 5 centuries.

Not that Caesar. Caesar the chimp.

Given the state of story telling in Hollywood and the steaming services productions. Dystopian nightmarish apocalyptic stories seems to be all they want to put out. So I don't give a fuck how well made this movie is, it's a huge fucking Monkey See Monkey Do Flop and the whole affair can take a flying Fuck off and Die. This is Not the time for Planet of the Apes stories. There is so much turmoil in the world, what the world needs now is compelling classic story telling that champions the human condition, rather than kicking it in the gutter.

I don't' watch any movies or television or any of the online streaming services. But I do make a point to watch every Recap video on Youtube I can find.
I like to see how far I can go before I'm triggered to just hit the back button. Which is more than not. Last night for example Ron Pearlman popped up as the Vilian so I bailed. But even the ones I do manage to watch the full 12 to 20 minute recap, they all have the same dystopia formula and format. I never take nothing useful away from any of them, and am glad I didn't waste my time or money to watch it. From time to time, I will be moved enough by the recap that I would watch that full movie if I ever run across it. They are usually Foreign titles or an older movie I never saw. And never ever a movie with the dystopian formula the movie industry is pumping out. I think they are being paid by the Global Homo to beatdown the positive can do spirit of the Human psyche. Much of which has been instilled in not only us, but most of the world that has produced shown movies with the post WWII story telling formula. "Good Guys always wins, the boy gets girl in the end, and what comes around goes around"

Don't be manipulated by shit movies telling shit stories by shit people. I don't care how much you long for Roddenberry golden age. This Woke Hollywood isn't it.

All of those actors will be on MSNBC calling Trump and his supporters racist and leading the charge for us all to go to jail when Trump wins in November.

I have sworn off any story that the whole premise is anchored to Fantasy, Violence or Calamity. All they are selling is it's futile to resist.

Did it include the Monkey Rapture? I guess the monkeys were the only primates to gain the benefit of the Ascending Yuga.

It is futile to resist.

Our intelligence agencies blatantly stole the last election and most people are too stupid to recognize this and the few that can recognize it just accepts it.

Well, it looks like The new Apes reboot series is following the old Star Trek films rule: Even numbered films are the best of the lot.

This is #4. And it solidifieds this rule. I thought the second one was the best but this one tops that or at least equals it.

The first Star Trek film was the best of the lot but people didn't appreciate it.

The question that was posed in that film, is what does it mean to exist, what is the purpose of existence? In the film, Vger attains all the available information that can be attained about the universe, all knowledge possible, it was absolutely impossible to defeat, and it was just asking for its purpose of existence after it attained sentience and was searching for God, its creator. What could be a more heady film than that?

Wrath of Khan was fun, but it was relatively mindless revenge film in comparison. No questions posed in that, the evil guy is evil, the good guy is good. Good guy wins.

I don't think films are generally made for adult audiences, and I don't think most people are actually adults, if they are even human.
