Either way, here's how you can stream or rent every "Planet of the Apes" movie. Perhaps you've been thinking about finally dealing with a certain sci-fi blind spot or simply wish to revisit a series of movies that are unlike any other.

Oh, there's also a Mark Wahlberg-starring remake somewhere in there but, uh, proceed with caution on that one. Anyone interested in embarking on a tour through the original movies and the new trilogy can expect to go from one of the unquestioned pillars of sci-fi and one of the most famous plot twists in cinema, to some lesser but uniquely compelling sequels that pull no punches, to one of the most effective and inspired franchise revitalizations in recent memory. Like any long-running franchise, the "Planet of the Apes" movies share a fascinating developmental history and a colorful selection of very high highs set against infamously low lows. ( Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, "Hey, where can I watch this thing?" In this edition: the Planet of the Apes movies.)
