Before there were sci-fi film franchises, there was Planet of the Apes. In 1973, four years before Star Wars conquered theaters and six years before Aliens and Star Trek, there were already five installments in the Apes saga. Granted, it took five more decades to make five more movies, but the tenth Apes film — Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes — hit theaters earlier this year and recaptured the magic of the franchise’s best parts.
