I grew up with the classics, including the TV series. It was as iconic to be as the classic Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rodgers, Time Tunnel, Quantum Leap etc.
Around the year 2000 we got a new on shot Planet of the Apes movie, that really didn't work out too well.
Then back a few years ago Rise of the Planet of the Apes hit our screens. I first save it on DVD and it was something new but looked at taking the franchise in a similar direction and made a lot more sense about the evolution of the Apes. This year we got Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, it's sequel set 10 years later and tells us that Humanity has been all but wiped out by the virus created from the formula used to evolve the Apes (which was unintentional in Rise).
I got Dawn on Bluray for Christmas and have watched it twice now. It's a great continuation and is really shaping where they plan to take the movie series. They have already announced that there will be an Apes 3 coming. I loved the classic music in the last few seconds of the movie, it really brought the feeling of the classic back to me.
What do you all think of the new series? Any classic fans here on MSFC?
