5.0 out of 5 stars HDX STREAMING CODES HAVE ME GOING APE...

B. · May 30, 2024

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Missing code?

V. · February 7, 2025

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Travel vs Genetic Manipulation

A.L. · February 12, 2018

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like these a lot

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movies, great 4K video and great price

J. · December 19, 2023

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?

guter Preis und in deutsch

４ｋ版は日本語あり

く. · September 27, 2022

2021.3.29付「頂きの庭」さんのレビューのとおりでした。ディスク３枚と記載がありますが、６枚です。４ｋ版には日本語の吹き替え、字幕有り。ブルーレイ版は日本語無しです。ケースも、実物を見て初めて「頂きの庭さん」の表現したかったコストカットケースの状態がわかりましたが、機能的にはまったく問題が無く、なるほどと笑ってしまいました。ケースに価値を置く人にはそぐわないでしょうが、４ｋを再生できて、映画が見られれば良いという人には、大変お買い得と思います。

Belle copie !

A SUPERB ACTION-PACKED SERIES FOR 4K FORMAT

r. · January 17, 2021

The Planet of the Apes seen by some as either a remake or indeed reboot of the fondly watchedthe 60s - Mid 70s series is in my view simply a rethink in terms of storyline.Though arguably thin on script and storyline flow the series does have superb visual effects to bolster its appeal and if you can buy the 4k version is greatly enhanced by the Ultra Format.The story tells of Caesar who is brilliantly played by the multi-talented Andy SerkisRise -Telling of how a young chimp whose mother known as bright eyes had been given a drug to try and diminish the effects of Alzheimer's in humans at a San Franciso Lab and had shown increased intelligence by its use.However, when pregnant Bright Eyes runs amuck through the complex forcing the management to curtail the trialsThe apes in the program would be put-down, however the baby chimp known as Caesar is rescued by chemist Will Rodman (James Franco) and taken home to live with his Father (John Lithgow) along with his partner Caroline (Freida Pinto).The family grow fond of the young chimp who shows he has inherited his mother's intelligence and some.As he gets older he longs to play with the neighbours children who he can see playing from his bedroom window, however, out of ignorance the neighbours reject Caesar's enthusiasm.Some time on Will's father who has Alzheimer's trys to drive the family car but shunts neighbour's cars in the process leading to an angry reaction from a neighbour., which Caesar witnesses and goes to rescue Charles.His action lands him taken to a primate centre and caged.Will does all he can to secure Caesars release, but, when it becomes possible Caesar who has made friends among his own refuses to leave the centre.With his intelligence level is seen as a leader among the apes held there.With cruelty from centre employee's Caesar and those who now follow him plan an escape.Releasing many apes from the area they set out to establish a home of their own the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is where Will learns that Caesar can talk.in Dawn -Caesar' and his followers have built their own compound in the forests beyond 'San Francisco' over thepast decade.Mankind is in decline they have been ravaged by a pandemic, the cities have all but been laid to waste,the peace between man and ape survives as long as they stay apart.After an incident close to the Apes compound and a brief meeting between Man and Ape, 'Caesar' whounderstands human-kind warns 'Malcolm' (Jason Clarke) and his team to stay away from the forest wherehe and his followers live.There is an element of the Apes that crave war against their once captors, only the logic of their leaderprevents it.The people living within the city boundaries have become desperate, they have little or no power-source,in the forest there is a 'dam' which could generate the power they need, but will 'Caesar' permit a humanpresence close by.'Malcolm' who had been in the party involved in the earlier incident seeks consultation with 'Caesar' to tryand reach an agreement to allow a small team to try and get the generator running if an agreement can bereached there will be no need for war, 'Caesar' cautiously agree's on the understanding that the humans donot carry weapons.'Caesar' (Andy Serkis) wants to give mankind a chance to co-exist but knows how frail an agreement with mancan be, he just hopes.'Koba' (Toby Kebbell) has no trust of humans and takes it upon himself with a few others with similar views tofind a warehouse where the humans have a large stock-pile of weaponry, 'Koba' knows that it is more thanenough to wipe the Apes out if used against them.Meanwhile back at the Dam 'Caesar' watches over the human teams progress, however because of the actiontaken by 'Koba' trust is wearing thin, the prospect of war becomes even closer.'Koba's' betrayal will change the course of history, can 'Caesar' re-take control before it's too late or has the linealready been crossed.?War -This is a sprawling and exciting epic that lays the grounding for what is yet to come, the film will draw you in fromthe outset, with some terrific action sequences and an underlying will from both 'Caesar' and 'Malcolm' to maintainthe peace between them.Brilliant and Eye-Popping Special Effects Throughout, a spectacle to behold indeedIn Battle -The Human military have been called in to deal with the apes led by 'The Colonel' (Woody Harrelson) ruthless and determined to wipe out the apes.Though the Apes led by Caesar do have moments of success in battle they are in truth heavily outgunned by the colonel's command.Caesar because of his upbringing has always believed there to be good among humans, however when close family members are slaughtered at what was previously a secret location by the colonel who had led a small squad to the place Caesar only has revenge in mind.The colonel had been directed there by an ape captured earlier Winter nicknamed donkey by the soldiers, though Winter cannot be forgiven for his treachery he will at a later stage redeem himself some.In the search for the colonel assisted by a small group of trusted apes including Maurice (Karin Konoval ) a friend he'd made at the compound before their quest for freedom.Along the way they come across a young girl who was scared and on her own Nova (Amiah Miller ) who is mute, Nova will happily tag along with the Apes.When they find the colonels new compound the discover that the community they'd left behind had been captured, caged and forced to work strengthening the compound's defences.Caesar will be caught tortured and imprisoned whilst the colonel decides what to do with him.However, Maurice and the team Caesar had come with are free and will set about trying to free Caesar and the rest of the apes.But, why is the colonel so intent on strengthening the defences?Seems he has not followed his brief and decided to simply do things his way, another force has been sent to deal with the colonel and his renegades.Will Caesar and the captured Apes escape before the battle between two human forces gets under - way.Sadly not all the key characters among the apes will survive and live to see The Promised Land found by Caesar's son earlier.Though, again, superb special-effects and glorious 4k I did feel the third film to be the weakest of the trilogy.Overall at the current price of around £25 the set is great value for money.

very good
