If you loved War for the Planet of the Apes, try Planet of the Apes
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to War for the Planet of the Apes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Planet of the Apes is
Desert landscape, scorching sun, a crashed spaceship. A lone astronaut faces apes on horseback, a reversal of power. Schaffner grounds science fiction in stark social commentary.
