It's weird how all four sequels were made within a year of each other, yet at least two of them tried something new. Beneath came two years after the original yet has a rehashed "in it for the money" feel all the way through, right down to its abrupt, slightly unsatisfactory climax. Yet despite the many, many faults I've levelled at it, Beneath the Planet of the Apes is still a very enjoyable film. Not in the sense of the first, which genuinely had something to say, but in the guise of pulp SF then this sequel is well worth seeing.

A new lead character is introduced that looks identical to Taylor, why? He even goes through the same stuff Taylor went through in the first, it's all a rehash of stuff we've already seen. After 45 minutes we finally get to some new stuff and it was interesting for a moment but ultimately doesn't have much to say. Why is Nova still in this one if they're not giving her anything to do? She's just there, silent and useless. We lose most of the visual flair and cinematography the first had, not bad by any means, just average. Some character deaths that mean nothing. Weird ending but i'm somehow curious to see what happens in the next one.

😭😭don’t hurt me but Charlton Heston 100% ruined this movie, why sign up to be the main actor of a trilogy/“movie that was planned for a sequel”, then basically cry wolf about “protecting the 1st films legacy” when it sounds like he was scared of being type casted or remembered as Taylor 100000% this move would’ve been about nova and Taylor going farther into the us and seeing the ruins then finding the nuke people… zira, Cornelius, and Milo would’ve focused the whole movie on fixing Taylor/or Brent’s ship if he still showed up If nova went out like that what was the point of her character? It’s was foreshadowed that humans don’t talk because no one’s taught them how, and they have never around talking apes long enough to learn as quickly as Nova

So, the movie already starts on weak footing. It tries to continue a story that, in my view, was closed and finished and needed nothing else. And it does a very weak job in trying to achieve it anyway.


[spoiler] You have to be very lenient from the beginning. The explanation how the second ship More

Bro. Might be my favourite Apes film. This franchise is so much more lucancore than I thought.
As a lot of films around this time did, this exposes the activities + rituals of the elite and whether that final act is Hollywood just doing it in front of our faces or rather the film villainizing and ex More

Summary: I'm really not sure how to make of this film. Is it bad? Not really. Is it good? eh. It's entertaining and has good moments but it suffers from many issues. 1. First and second half feel like different stories. 2. Because of being forced to have a new mc, the first half is essentially just More

Not anywhere near as sharp or well crafted as the original- and two movies in Nova still isn’t an actual character- but it’s even more cynical in a way I can respect. It takes the pessimistic worldview of the first movie and takes it even further. Evolved humans and ape are equally cruel, equall More
