The mutants abilities to create illusions is a concept deservedly equal to 'discovering' a planet of apes. Even the makeup of their radiation ravaged flesh compares on the level of the apes makeup.

Sometimes critics and fans treat sequels as remakes and compare them to the original. If there had to be sequel to Planet, Beneath was the best sequel that could have been made. Even the producers themselves said to justify a sequel they had to do something entirely strange and bizarre and go off into another direction. They certainly did, and if Beneath had failed at the box office, we would not have the Apes franchise today.

"...with each successful movie in the series.... the damned studio slashed the budget for the next one." That's how it works with most sequels. They figure it's pre-sold, so why spend a lot of money on it? Some exceptions are "Terminator 2", "Road Warrior" (Mad Max 2), and arguably some of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars sequels.

[@HerrEllsworth]

One plot device that had to be altered from the first film was how Brent arrived on future Earth. In the first film, Taylor and his crew flew through space at near-light speed in which time dilation allowed them to age slightly over the two thousand years it took for them to return to Earth. In the sequel, Brent's ship simply passed through a time warp/bend of some kind. This had to be done because if Brent's ship had taken the same course as Taylor's and, allowing for time dilation, then by the time Brent arrived on Earth, Taylor, Zira, Zaius and cast would have been dead for many centuries.

[@nycinstyle]

James Gregory with his facial mannerisms, speech pattern, and breathing was fantastic. He spoke with pauses as if what he is saying is extremely meaningful, even though it is a rather plain, juvenile choice of words he uses, an elementary level vocabulary, the militant Ursus is one of the most memorable, best characters in motion picture history, IMO. He played the role very well. His bravado is so audacious, it is comical at times, yet scary, and very entertaining to watch. He's the real stand out in this movie. "The only good human, is a dead human!"

Yes, very loosely. Serling actually improved upon it by replacing a sign in the desert for Reno, along with telephone poles, and substituting them with the Statue of Liberty. Though I'd argue that Michael Wilson upgraded Serling's story with his complete rewrite. It was Wilson that gave it that nihilistic Kafkaesque tone and sharp dialogue in the final script.

[@diannebdee]

I always felt this was the better of the two movies of POTA and BTPOTA. I loved Brent far more than Taylor in that Brent was a fighter. He wanted to fight till the end. Franciscus infused Brent with so much life as oppose to Heston's Taylor. That scene in the bomb chamber after Taylor is shot and Brent is taking out as many apes as he can has always been a favourite of mine. He's fighting right up till the end when he dies a bad ass. The scene between Zaius and Taylor was the denouement to their story and fitting to take us into "Escape." Thanks for the video. This film doesn't get the love it should.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

This is the one that puts the Rewrite Hat on my head. I just think it would have been cool to have a group of humans regaining their speech and IQs and plotting to nuke the Apes. Brent was cool, but I think his wondrous look at the world could have been more naive to set up a truly crestfallen character when he finds out it is Earth. Really, I think it should have been Nova as the lead discovering new things and gaining speech.

[@TruthFromTheMtns]

I totally agree

[@kiernanthomas6006]

They should NEVER have killed off Nova! She could have been in the space ship that carried Cornelius and Zira back to Earth of the 1970's. I loved when she said the name "Taylor"! And I hated that she got shot by a stupid gorilla.

[@xo4812]

[@johnbowles5399]

I'm a big fan of the Apes franchise as a whole and have always loved Beneath. In my opinion it's a great sequel with a very, very dark ending, which I appreciated. I thought James Franciscus was great as Brent, the astronaut sent to find out what happened to Charlton Heston's character Taylor from the original film. I was genuinely surprised to find that some people don't rate this film.

It was a decent sequel despite the budget cuts. I don't think it would have done well if Chuck didn't reprise his role albeit briefly. The possible stories before it was made seem interesting as well. The following films breathed new life with other stories, I wonder if there were other possible stories that might have been different from the next 3 films. Overall a great franchise. I had some of the Mego action figures. I own the VHS remastered 5 films as well as the DVD of the short lived action series and remember watching the cartoon as a boy. The 2000's movies brought it back to life. I really had wondered after the Tim Burton film if a sequel could have been made, it left you wondering with the ending similar to the original.

When PLANET OF THE APES REVISITED was in the works, I was ecstatic. In later years -- I would go on to meet both Heston and Franciscus and was amazed at what such nice guys they were. That said, the current spate of APE films are fantastic and I am hoping for more. D.A.

Suggested by *KZbin,* I watched it, then looked to see what other videos you've done, and I was very excited at what I found. When I saw that you made one about *Robinson Crusoe on Mars,* I knew I _had to subscribe._ These are the kinds of films I watched as a kid on Saturday and Sunday afternoons on _World Beyond_ and _Action Theater._ A double feature movie block that aired each weekend, on a local TV station in the late morning and early afternoon.

Loved the movie-especially because we got to see Nova again! That said, I remember watching the ending as a kid and still thinking to myself, “A bomb that could blow up the whole earth? How is that even possible?” You don’t have to even be a science nut to know that that’s just over the top even for fiction (so is the Death Star too-sorry). It never took away from my overall enjoyment (and rating) of the movie at all. But if I had to nitpick just one tiny plot device in the story, the planet destroying bomb would probably be it.

What's best about the entire Apes film series are the messages contained within. After recently watching the entire run with my wife (who shame on me had never seen any of them) the latter 3 films, Escape / Conquest and Battle establish some interesting ideas about humanity and how we might deal with such an uprising. Sadly I feel we would treat the Apes in a similar fashion making them pets and servants following a disease that wiped out cats and dogs. Not to mention the government interference and arrogance on full display. But this is what the best science fiction does. Allows us to insert aspects of real life events into futuristic films. Apes and Star Trek TOS provided this opportunity very well.

[@michaelschramm1064]

The TV series was actually pretty good for the time. I enjoyed it so much i actually bought the TV series on DVD. Thankfully these things aren't lost too often anymore. Sure it was campy, and the production quality wasn't all that, but it was a sci-fi TV series, so you have to cut it some slack.

Mendez convinces her otherwise and that they must learn to live in a new way. In Beneath in the church scene there is clearly seen chapter and verse "Mendez".

[@GShumway132]

What I wanna know is... How was Heston able to tip off Cornelius and Zira about his intent to blow up the entire ape planet, with enough time for them to rescue his spaceship from the bottom of the lake and figure out how to repair it, and then fly it back to the 1970s? How were Cornelius and Zira even able to perform any of those tasks when they belonged to a primitive society that didn't even have cars, let alone spaceships? It makes no sense.
