Planet of the Apes (Reboot)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes restarts the continuity from the beginning rather than continuing it, which is what makes this a remake and not a sequel. It also quietly rebuilds the original's ending as its premise: the 1968 film's twist is that the planet was Earth all along, and the reboot simply starts on Earth and shows how. Caesar's name is inherited from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), so the new trilogy is arguably closer to a remake of the fourth film than of the first, which is worth a moderator's attention when setting the weight.

The reboot cycle (Rise, Dawn, War and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) keeps Boulle's premise, apes replacing humans as the dominant species, and replaces his mechanism. Boulle sends a human traveller to a world where the reversal has already happened. The reboot shows it happening on Earth: a drug tested on chimpanzees raises Caesar's intelligence, and a virus from the same research devastates the human population. Recorded as influence rather than adaptation for that reason: the title and the premise survive, the story does not.
