Three-disc set includes: Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011) A research scientist (James Franco) tests a drug on a group of chimpanzees, greatly increasing their intelligence before he's forced to put them all down. That is, all but Caesar (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance), one of the test subjects' offspring, whose enhanced brain capacity enables him to lead his fellow primates in a violent revolution against humanity. Provocative reboot of the classic sci-fi film series also stars Freida Pinto, John Lithgow. 105 min. C/Rtg: PG-13 Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) Ten years after a devastating virus wiped out much of humanity, a small band of survivors in San Francisco has established an uneasy peace with chimpanzee Caesar (a motion-captured Andy Serkis who also supplies his voice) and his community of intelligent apes who live in the nearby Muir Woods. But co-existence may be ultimately out of reach as members of both species seem bound and determined to make war. Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell co-star in this hit sequel. 130 min. C/Rtg: PG-13 War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) The third chapter in the rebooted sci-fi film franchise finds ape leader Caesar's (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance) forces locked in a desperate conflict with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a ruthless human whose army also includes a group of traitorous primates. As the war reaches it's apex, the virus that decimated much of humanity begins to cause some of the remaining survivors to slowly devolve into more primitive creatures. With Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller. Review: Great movies, great 4K video and great price - 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? Review: Great quality DVDs - Amazing! Love these movies, haha. The DVDs themselves are a great quality. I like the box set. The little cover that says 4K is separate and sometimes falls off, but minor details.

A perfect box set for a perfect trilogy
What can I say that hasn't already been said? This trilogy is magnificent and is up there for one of my favorite trilogies ever put to screen. Each move builds on the last and the expansive, epic story brings along action, spectacle, and emotions, all culminating in an incredible conclusion. RISE answers the question “why we shouldn't mess with mother nature; it introduces us to our protagonist Caeser and shows how the oppressed will rise up, no matter how much we try to contain them. Each scene just flows from one I the next and nothing is in the movie that doesn”t contribute to the overall story. DAWN brings us the middle chapter, and my personal favorite. It expands our understanding of Caeser and how much he wants peace but will do whatever for his own kind. On the opposite side is Koba: an ape born in hatred and fear of humans which leads both our main characters into an battle of epic proportions for the earth. WAR breaks down Caeser and strips away everything that defined him previously. His wife and child are killed leading him on a quest for revenge but also for a purpose. This one out of the entire trilogy really focuses on Caeser’s inner demons and what makes him tick; how it does this is profound and the only way I can describe it to you is for you to just watch it. In the end, BU THE TRILOGY. The 4k transfer is crisp and you feel as if you were standing right next to Caeser. Also, the box set has an embossed feeling on it which is really cool and just an added layer of awesome. BUY IT! BUY IT NOW!

Missing code?
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!

Good Movies, Missing Code
I had a similar experience to several other reviewers - everything looks great and works, and it's very reasonably priced, but "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was missing its digital download code.

Não deu para esperar mais pelo próximo filme, que entretanto já saiu. Excelente trilogia para quem gosta do universo criado por Pierre Boulle.

Una de las mejores trilogías, verlas en 4k es una experiencia muy satisfactoria, y a pesar de venir de Amazon E.U. si viene doblada al español latinoamericano, muy buena compra, la recomiendo!

schöne Box mit allen 3 Teilen. Alle 3 Teile haben deutschen Ton auf der 4k Disc. Bluray von Teil 1 & 3 haben dt. Ton. BluRay vom 2. Teil hat KEIN dt. Ton

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。
