    But in War of the Planet of the Apes, the simian flu flares up again, mutating to quietly spread through the last surviving people. Immunity against the original plague is no protection against the latest form of the virus, which causes a degenerative disease that leaves humans mute and animalistic.

    The one time we see the post-virus surface world, it’s been reclaimed by the beasts, with bears and lions wandering among the cracked buildings of what was once Philadelphia. In the ’90s, we get premonitions of disaster, and not just from Cole. Goines regularly pontificates about humankind’s folly and, when Cole mentions a viral apocalypse, replies, “Wiping out the human race? It’s a great idea!”

    It gets panned a lot and had a very confusing plot but I still like Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes". Also it's got the best nod to the Lincoln ape, a meme developed by Gen. McClellan who despised Lincoln.


    Also a nod to our "late" Clutchfan General Thade..
