IF Rise=Conquest and Dawn=Battle, what would a new Escape=?!!


It’s widely accepted and acknowledged (even by the filmmakers) that out of all the original five original 1960/70s “Apes“ movie series, the reboot 2011's “Rise” was most based on the superb fourth film 1972‘s “Conquest” (with apes uprising in a modern-day human world)…

…and following that it can’t be denied that the latest sequel 2014's “Dawn” is very much on a par and to-be-compared-with 1973‘s “Battle” (with the post-apocalyptic ape and human colonies taking each other on!).

Just out of silliness… wonder if there was a modern-day-franchise version of 1971‘s “Escape” - just what would it be like?!! Can just picture the fun in a taking Ceasar, his wife Cornelia and say organutan Maurice back in a space/time ship to a pre-”Rise” world!! Would/will never happen (as it did in series in the ‘70s) with the current reboot, but is fun to imagine… WHAT IF (and the type of film it might make!)?!!

Seeing as I like 4+5 the least, I'm not keen on watching Rise and Dawn, even though they are in the BluRay box. I'd have much more liked to see reworkings of the first three. (still haven't watched the remake actually)

I thought Burton's movie was OK. It doesn't touch the original, of course. But the studio spent over a decade planning a remake, so it wasn't all Burton's idea.

I hope they don't do a Escape in the new movies......
