Several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, apes are now the dominant species and live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.

    Because the whole series is “something of the planet of the apes”.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes
    Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
    War of the Planet of the Apes
    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

    How is that not obvious?

      So I’m questioning the whole naming method then. After the original ‘Planet of the Apes’ they could’ve gone with ‘X of the Apes’ without losing brand recognition and not making names that bloated.

        But then people search for “planet of the apes” and might miss your latest offshoot.

          That naming convention became a thing long before the internet I believe.

          A relatively worse way is ‘Planet of the Apes: X’, if you conscerned with that, yet I doubt it would be a problem.
