Review of Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) by Olivia P — 15 Aug 2011
I don't understand why people think that this was better than the first movie. Although I don't quite have the appreciation for older sci-fi movies such as Planet of the Apes, I do have to agree that I found the message and the overall plotline of the first movie to be excellent.
Perhaps I was expecting too much, but this movie was verging on downright silly at the end. And the ending was just so preposterous. How they came up with other sequels after such a finite ending, I will never know.
The message was still loud and clear, which I appreciated, and there were new elements added. But overall, it had potential, but then lost it's way.
