Humanity and Ceasar’s genetically evolved apes forge a fragile peace in the wake of the deadly human virus unleashed a decade ago, but sit on the brink of war. This war will determine the dominant species of the planet. And it will be packed with far more explosives and jaw-dropping special effects than the entire original “Apes” saga combined.
Based on the events of the original “Planet of the Apes” series of films, it may seem that humanity is quite simply doomed. But there’s no guarantee that history will repeat itself exactly here. After all, the rebooted “Star Trek” has made some pretty drastic changes from the original continuity. That said, the apes look to have a pretty distinct advantage here.
