The second--and most horrifying--of the five Planet of the Apes 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. --Grant Balfour

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. ... Read More

Although the movie begins in a way which is similar to the 1st movie, the 2nd half is really interesting & different. It explores the carnage which remains of NYC after the holocaust, & also shows what remains of the human race which previously ruled the Earth [i.e. us]. The surviving humans have mutant powers but also physical deformities, & pray to a new God. Really cool sci-fi. Charlton Heston even makes an appearance at the end.

In the far future apes have taken over the world and mankind is made up of two groups... speechless primitives and subterranean mutants. Once again, it isn't necessary to really be into sci-fi to enjoy this movie. Lots of fun as well as some preachiness.

I was 8 years old. Kim Hunter was on The Merv Griffin Show. They were talking about an upcoming movie called "Beneath The Planet of The Apes". They showed footage of the make-up process and a clip from the movie. Within days the film was at the theater and our family went. Mom, Pop, my younger brother only 4 years old at the time, and myself. At that time I never knew there was a movie simply called "Planet of The Apes". So I had no idea that the opening scene was really the ending of the previous film. ... Read More

The second film in the Planet of the Apes series is a reasonable sequel, but really lacking most of the originals zest and panache. Charlton Heston briefly reprises his role as Taylor, and in fact the opening to the film, is a reprise of the ending of the original, which is the best bit of the film. Heston reappears in the last 15 mins as well.
With the surprise element lost (because of the ending of the first film), the sequel is mostly formulaic and limited to occasional good scenes. But none ... Read More
