The 5th film was always meant to be a prequel to the original starring Charlton Heston.<br /><br />Watching "Rise," you would have noticed a few set-ups that will eventually lead to the first movie--e.g., the manned space mission to Mars and then, later, news that the shuttle had become "lost in space." These are the astronauts who will return to Earth eventually, only to find it overrun with apes and most of the human population decimated by disease.<br /><br />Nifty movie, indeed. I liked it a lot! :)David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.com
