The Best Sequel I Have Seen In A Long Time...
8 September 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Now, when you make a movie like Planet Of The Apes (1968) due to popular demand, everyone wants a sequel. But the fans are usually very strict on what they want. It is extra hard to keep a series running, without destroying it with one single movie. Now, Beneath the Planet Of The Apes would have been a gamble, due to the Earth being destroyed at the end. So it was an extremely good idea to have three apes (who, coincidentally, are my ultimate favourites) travel back almost 3000 years.

When wars are brewing in the Planet Of The Apes, doctors Cornelius, Zira, and Milo use friend Taylor's original spaceship to travel away from the planet. As they were flying, they did the opposite of what previous characters Taylor and Brent did. Instead of travelling to the future, like Taylor and Brent, they travel back to the modern day (well, that was 1971 back then), and watch all of mankind gape at three talking chimpanzees appearing in a spaceship.

But soon after, Dr. Milo dies, and Zira and Cornelius, still not fully sure how they got back, are alone and confused. When mankind soon start turning on them, Zira becomes pregnant, and the Government has permission to take the baby away with them. So the race to hide away from mankind begins.

With amazing makeup, acting, and suspense, there's no way you can go wrong with a movie like this. You'll cry, marvel, cheer, and get connected to the characters. So, if you like fantastic sequels to movies like 'Back To The Future Part II' (1989), or 'Men In Black 3' (2010), and maybe even if you don't like these, then I most definitely recommend this movie to YOU!!!
