I'm with you on your points of clothing the apes, dropping Koba, and going further into the future... But, this next one will still be a "Caesar" story so they can wrap up the "trilogy"...

After that, who knows: If they do another 5-7 films after the one set for release in 2016 and they do them at 2 to 3 year intervals, that's bring us to roughly the 2030s (and it could easily be later than that)... Most people here will be in their 60s and 70s, and would be outside of the marketing people's ideal demographics... That many years from now, even the young people being drawn to the new films will be outside of their "youth market", so who knows what kind of films they could/would be making then and at that point, will anyone here care?

Put some cloths on the Apes, No Koba and lets get into the future. Fox thinks it can go on forever and they may start to bore newer apes fans

  Perhaps a Godfather 2 type of feature with future and past.

If Fox thinks they can keep it going to 5-7 films well I hop so.

I think the sudden jumps in total is due to the lack of box office information being gathered. So their just receiving it in lump sums at a time. I wouldn't doubt if Dawn ends up at 710-715 when its all said and done. Al At Oct 23, 2014, 4:20:56 PM, 'Jeff K.' veetus@...

You mentioned that since these in the two pack are referred to as "Soldiers", they should be referred to as BENEATH gorillas: Let's not forget, the first (individual release) NECA gorilla is also called a "Soldier", so where does that leave him?

The lack of ammo bandoliers is enough for me to take a pass on this.  Also, since they're called "soldier" gorillas, these should really be called BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES figures, and, as you say, they're not even accurate at even being that.  Phooey!

Neca, you blew it!  Damn you all to hell!!!!

These figures look great, but I can't figure out why they didn't give them ammo bandoliers? (It's not like they're not noticeable in BENEATH, so it's not like they would have overlooked them...)

Have a great birthday Jeff!

Interstellar, starring Rise of the Planet of the Apes' John Lithgow (who portrayed James' Franco's character's father) and also featuring David Oyelowo (Rise's callous yet impactful pharmaceutical executive) is cleaning up at the box office:

Rightly so, too. Here's the official website:

http://www.interstellarmovie.com/

The trailers tell maybe just half of the story, by the way:

https://interstellar.withgoogle.com/transmissions#/trailers/detail

My question is: could this marvel of the universe of a movie, this glorious paradox that takes you to the stars, be sort of foreshadowing plot elements from an upcoming POTA sequel involving George Taylor & crew?

As I don't want to spoil this new frontier in Sci Fi entertainment for anyone, I'll tread very lightly on plot details as if they're part of the Forbidden Zone. If you want to see a visually, emotionally, intellectually and perhaps even spiritually magnificent adventure though, Interstellar is the one for you this Holiday season. It just might sway 20th Century Fox to go further into Taylor's, Landon's, Dodge's and Stewart's eventful space travels, too, as this masterpiece is demonstrating that the audience appetite for such travels clearly exists. But there's more potentially on the horizon for Taylor and crew than just an exciting temporal roller coaster ride, as Interstellar's plot twists seem to suggest. The astronauts might not be as helpless this time around, if they play their cards right...

Food for thought from Houston... :-)
