There are few science-fiction franchises out there with the staying power ofThe Planet of the Apes. And sci-fi is every bit on trend right now, with the likes ofFallout 4and more romping viewers' screens this year.
WhileStar Warsmight have more box office clout, it’s not quite as old, since the first Apes film came out all the way back in 1968, and blew people’s minds with its prosthetics and a blockbuster of a twist ending.
The franchise is in rude health thanks to a terrific trilogy of modern movies, with another about to arrive at cinemas coming in late May:Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
If you’re looking forward to that movie coming out, there’s great news where catching up is concerned: all the modernPlanet of the Apesmovies are onDisney+, including the superb 2011 rebootRise of the Planet of the Apes. In the never-ending race to be considered thebest streaming service, that’s quite a win for Disney.
It gives a more coherent and detailed origin story to the hyperintelligent apes that we know will one day come to rule over Earth, reducing humanity to a scavenger species.

That’ll be a quartet now, thanks to the arrival of a new film, so if you’re hoping to really appreciate the modernApesfilms as a whole then you’d better dip onto Disney+ in the coming weeks to see how they all hold up.
It’ll be particularly interesting to see how that CGI motion and facial capture comes across on a truly excellent modern display like theLG G3 OLEDTV – from our sampling, it’s a remarkably solid showing for a movie that’s more than 10 years old.
