Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes/Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes/War For The Planet Of The Apes [4K UHD]

I bought 2 copies of this due to missing the first movies code. No need to do that. The movies are fantastic and Fox/Disney will give you the code if you contact them for it. They will require proof and no need to waste perfectly good Blu-rays just for a code that won't be in there. Outside of that 10/10 on the movies and quality of the audio and video. Also, 10/10 on their customer support. I just redeemed these as others have said on APPLE so that I could retain the 4K versions. No need to risk maybe getting 1080p. Booo!

The top reviewer is correct. Verifying the digital codes using, 20th Century Fox, Movies Anywhere, and Fandango redemption websites, register all codes as HDX... So what does that mean?It means the codes will only stream at 1080p @24fps.... Vudu and Fandango claim HDX allegedly doubles that, but your still stuck on a 1080p screen ratio! So that's a lie, it's still not a true 4k image, its still 1080p, DUH!... And forget about streaming Dolby ATMOS for WAR, you're only going to get Dolby 5.1 for all streaming movies, peasants!To me, this set doesn't feel like a sweet deal at all, but more like a fast one Twentieth Century Fox unloaded on unsuspecting fans of the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise, I would return it if I could, but I'm stuck with it and left put out. With that being said, I'm going to be very cautious buying anything from Twentieth Century Fox far into the future, AND RECOMMEND THAT OTHERS ONLY BUY THIS BUNDLE WHEN ITS ON SALE.When I spend the extra money to buy the 4k version of a movie with a digital code, I expect it to be a 4k UHD digital code, if I buy a Blue Ray I expect a HDX code, like I get from other VERY EXPENSIVE 4k/BR distributors!... I don't know if this is an error from Twentieth Century Fox or their packaging department? But as far as I am concerned I DID NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR, Twentieth Century Fox owes me 4k streaming codes I just purchased, because according to FANDANGO, that's exactly what I should have got in this bundle!As for the audio on the disks, get this...Out of all 4K disks, only 'War' has Dolby Atmos. 'Rise' has 5.1 DTS-HDMA. 'Dawn' has 7.1 DTS-HDMA.

Peak cinema

I really enjoy these movies. I watch them every so often every year.

Replaced DVD 2 movie set for a bargain price. Now I have all 3 movies on 4K.

I had seen the first two in this trilogy before buying it; so mostly, I knew what I was getting. As I understand it, all the apes in the movie were actually played by people, and CGI was used to make those positions appear acted by apes. I see in the special materials that this was true in part, if not entirely. It might be that special effects available today are the reason this is a completely different appearance than that original acted by Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall. I suppose we depend a lot on the new effects, and they seemed good to me.The original plot, from a bunch of years ago, seemed to amount to a crew of travelers in space landed here from millennia in the past, and in the revised history apes talk, and humans had lost the ability to speak. It is from that future a crew of talking apes traveled into the past, and from those two the talking apes sprang. This circuitous dependence by parents upon the offspring they have yet to bear, while interesting, fails in plot.In the new version, James Franco plays a man who works at a genetics lab that is hoping to cure Alzheimer's Disease. Testing for this is first performed on an ape, but when the ape becomes unruly, she is shot rather than allowing her to harm the humans near her. When it is discovered she was pregnant and concerned for the welfare of her baby, the decision to pull funding on the project was not reconsidered. Franco's character takes her to his own home where the motherless chimpanzee grows in intelligence at an astonishing rate, and (at that time) no discernible drawbacks. Franco, now jobless, is seeking a solution to his own father's Alzheimer's, which has reached a critical level in health and intelligence. His credentials seem to be working for him to sneak a dose back to home, and while the chimpanzee continues to grow in strength and intelligence, his father begins also to respond to the treatment.Caesar, the grown ape, no longer can remain in the care of Franco's family, because he's an ape, and a family home is not enough. Moreover, in new surroundings, Caesar sees abysmal treatment by humans tasked to care for his fellow apes, and the rebellion this foments is facilitated by the intelligence and perception afforded by Caesar's genetic manipulation, which seems partially to have been communicated to others in this environment.The third movie sees the resulting mutation from manipulation bringing great numbers of apes into levels of sentience that often supersedes humans, especially since this new trend seems to eliminate humans' ability to speak or think at the capacity we would be expecting.So, in the revised series, it seems the plot depends on genetic manipulation, while in the original, we depend a great deal on time travel and upon a trait that never existed until it was brought back from the future.

These are the best "Planet of the Apes" movies ever made. Forget the Charlton Heston ones or the Tim Burton one - these are it. Compelling story line, great acting, excellent dialog and mind-bogglingly good special effects. The CGI apes are absolutely believable real and nothing like the old rubber masks. They may not be able to do CGI humans yet (they still fall into the "uncanny valley") but for the ape characters here, you WILL believe! The 4K video and the DTS HD-MA audio are spectacular. Some folks complain about the lack of Dolby ATMOS audio but how many of us actually have ceiling channel speakers in our home theaters?I got these at a stupidly good price (just $18 US) just before Xmas 2023 and even though I already have them in HD on Blu-ray discs (don't tell my wife!), it was worth the low price to make the video upgrade. Oh well, the local library gets the old box set...I can't wait for the fourth film to come out next year! I'll have to get it in UHD when it comes out as well and will probably pay more for that than for these three in this box set. How stupid is that?
