The trouble with Prequels

On our first episode the doc spoke about his fond memories of the original Planet of the Apes movies & TV series. This franchise has attempted reboots & more recently a prequel.

Interestingly, unlike sequels, a prequel’s story takes place in the past. However, not every prequel is equal.

War for the Planet of the Apes (Spoiler Alert!) ended the trilogy with Caesar leading the apes against the final humans.

The film feels like it leads directly into the original Planet of the Apes film while also ending its own story in an effective way.

Which Planet of the Apes incarnation is your favourite? The original movies, the TV series, the first reboot or the recent trilogy. Please reach out to us across the Socials. We’d love your view and could collate them for a future show.
