The second--and most horrifying--of the five <i>Planet of the Apes</i> movies, this film goes where few end-of-the-world movies ever dare tread. It's the far future. The mass of humanity has descended into speechless savagery, kept as captive animals by the talking apes who have inherited the world. Two astronauts from our time have landed here, retracing the path of their lost comrade, Captain Taylor (Charlton Heston). Unfortunately, they've landed in the middle of a grim situation. Warlike gorillas are preparing to eliminate the last shards of shattered human civilization, a degenerate, subterranean cult worshipping the greatest of all human achievements--the cobalt bomb. As well as rescuing Taylor, the two men have to stop the gorillas from wiping out humanity and stop humanity from fulfilling their self-appointed, self-destructive destiny. This is both thrill-a-minute science fiction and a surprisingly deep reflection on the human condition. Plus, it's got lots of guys in really keen ape suits. <i>--Grant Balfour</i>
Viewer Reviews Charles Heston again stars in this sequel to Planet of the Apes. Beneath the Planet of the Apes continues where the original Planet of the Apes left off. Taylor, a USA astronaut crashlanded onto a "distant planet" ruled by apes only to find in the end that he was on earth thousands of years later. Now, Taylor is with his mate Nova when he mysteriousely disappears. Nova somehow manages to find Brent, another astronaut who crashlanded onto earth. Together Nova and Brent go on a search to find Taylor. This movie has a lot of action and has great acting. I enjoyed watching the original Planet of the Apes much less this one. More apes chasing humans and all that. The ending is also pretty good. I was pretty impressed with this movie. If you enjoyed the original, I definitely recommend this to you!
