Beneath the Planet of the Apes

It is the least popular of the series, so you aren't alone. it was actively trying to rape your ears for a while. Just move on to the next movie.
>Least popular of the series
Number five which most people can't even name would like to have a word with you. Or the weird comedic 60's slice of life third one.
Beneath I think is 2nd most famous. 3rd and 5th are least popular.
The movie is basically a Charlton Heston shitpost where he hated the idea of sequels and wanted it to end.
It's the second best after the first one.
Are any of the ones after the first one actually worth watching?
Yes
I remember escape and conquest being good, battle is fricking awful though
Beneath, I never understood why it wasn't liked. Cool post apocalypse sets, its eerie seeing what happened to humanity which is expanded upon plus the ending is dark. The rest are set in the modern day and are pretty boring.
The second and fourth are pretty rad in my opinion. The third is a tonal shift worse than 36th chamber and it's sequel return. Weirdly my ma who was born in 67 and my grandma like the third one most after the first. Though second and fourth are mine they have flaws but are pure kino. Like extended episodes of the twilight zone or outer limits. The weird ass remakes with Dave Franco basically are remakes of the fourth just drawn out as if the apes were the main group in some walking dead apocalypse miniseries instead of a cool giant riot with monkies wearing jumpsuits and holding m16s. I wanted them to go full moron and do a time skip to show us the bomb cult but everyone stopped giving a shit by then and they milked it for what they thought they could I guess.
The third one is very entertaining
>Are any of the ones after the first one actually worth watching?
Not really. It's originally a kind of satire of society and religion with a twist ending. Any of the sequels kind of ignores that.
There's one bit in the second film (I think?) that really freaked me out, the bit where all the people worshipping that Cobalt bomb stand up and peel off their own faces.
Great scene
It's Planet > Escape > Conquest > Beneath > Planet
The new trilogy is basically a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes stretched over three movies.
The last one is Battle not Planet of course.
Planet for the planet of the apes
>Taylor's giant FRICK-YOU to Zaius at the end setting off the bomb
Absolute kino way to die.
It's a great ending, and I like how while there's time travel in the other movies, it only creates a new timeline which is different from the original, so it's not like they undid that ending, so Earth really was destroyed in that reality
"That bomb was build by man"
"It will kill us all"
Dr Zaius is true kino. You can in these literally see the moment when he accepts that there is a full Black person living inside apes.
What was there not to understand? A group of human descendants from the nuclear war have mutated over the generations to have mind control abilities that hide away from the the apes under the ruins of NYC worship an active doomsday bomb that is triggered by Heston when he realizes at the end that apes are truly no better than man
>A cute skinless girl will never invite you back to her cave to hear her sing nuclear bomb hymns.
Why didn't the apes have mutated faces?
Do you mean the bipedal talking apes?
No, not the part that was explained in Escape From The Planet of the Apes
>LE NUCLEAR WAR BAD!
I like 3 and 4 the most
Nuclear war IS bad!
It was a fun trippy movie to have on in the background as you played Legos or Atari 2600 back in the 80s, you wouldn't understand.
You got filtered. You'll probably enjoy the sequel more.
>PG-13
It was a better time
>when you ask for directions in detroit
Actually it was G, there was no PG-13 then
Escape is comfy tier, but I'm biased because I always love a fish out of water story
Hilarious that the new guy replicates the Statue of Liberty scene by realizing the truth at the Queens Plaza subway station. The city is so fricked it basically looks like that right now.
Dr Zaius then realized: Ape is the true Black person.
It's fricking awful
Filtered!
In this movie a chimp character says gorillas are violent because they're stupid. This seemed strange to me because chimps are more known for aggressive behaviour irl. Also, there are no gibbons, aka the best ape.
This was in the 60's and 70's. Pretty sure Jane what's her face was barely considering fricking around with gorillas plus all those morons didn't start adopting chimps and learning how violent they actually were until the 70s.
Conquest > Beneath >>>> Escape > Battle
