Where to start with Planet of the Apes

Two separate runs, fifty years apart, and they are not the same story. Both are worth watching and neither requires the other, so the only real question is which era you would rather start in.

  1. 1
    Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    The modern entry point, and the easiest recommendation on this page. A self-contained origin story that assumes you know nothing, leading into two sequels that are better still.

  2. 2
    Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

    The middle film of the modern trilogy and the strongest of the three. Follows directly from Rise.

  3. 3
    Planet of the Apes (1968) Planet of the Apes

    The original, and worth watching for its ending alone, which you may already know, and which is still remarkable. Completely separate from the modern films, so it can come first, last, or never.

Then what? The 1968 film has four sequels of steeply declining quality and a short-lived television series, all below. The 2001 Tim Burton film is a remake unconnected to either run.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
