This week we rewatched the *Planet of the Apes* films. Not the old versions from the sixties and seventies, or the actually decent remake from 2001, but the most recent series.

The first part of that series, **Rise of the Planet of the Apes**, came out in 2011 and is an incredibly good film.

In the first film, you basically see how the planet became the planet of the apes. This film has everything: a beautiful story about family and friendship, it is partly a film about the end of the world, and secretly there is a bit of **Prison Break** in there too.

If I had to make a list of my favourite films ever, this would definitely be in the top five.

The other parts of the trilogy are also very strong and absolutely worth watching. You can watch all of these films on Disney+, and a new part will be released next year.
