- In an effort to find the missing astronaut Taylor, Brent goes on a rescue mission to the planet of the apes. Using the information he receives from the ape village that Taylor escaped from, Brent locates him in an underground fortress in the forbidden zone guarded by telepathic humans.
- The sole survivor of an interplanetary rescue mission searches for the only survivor of the previous expedition. He discovers a planet ruled by apes and an underground city run by telepathic humans.
- In "Dr. Strangelove" and in "On the Beach," Hollywood tried to make audiences understand that we had at last got the means to destroy the Earth, but audiences continued to confuse a nuclear war with dooms day, the end of the Earth. In this film, Hollywood did a fine job of making that confusion impossible by clearing showing telepathic survivors of a nuclear war running a society amidst a planet of apes while worshiping a bomb on the altar with Alpha Omega in Greek on its left fin referred to a bomb which could end the Earth.<br/><br/>This film is NOT about a nuclear war: it is about a nuclear war in which a nuclear doomsday machine has been detonated, hence the end of the world depicted in which "the planet is burned to a cinder," to quote Mr. Heston playing Astronaut Taylor. Still, it is clear from other comments that IMDb readers do not realize this distinction and do not realize that the world can be destroyed: I quote: Times Online August 08, 2007 Dr Strangelove and the real Dooms day machine by Christopher Coker P. D. Smith DOOMSDAY MEN The real Dr Strangelove and the dream of the super weapon 552pp. Allen Lane. £20. 9 78 071 399815 3 ...Smith's study is the gripping, untold story of the ultimate weapon of mass destruction, which first came to public attention in 1950 when the Hungarian-born scientist Leo Szilard made a dramatic announcement on radio: science was on the verge of creating a Doomsday Bomb. For the first time in history, mankind would soon have the ability to destroy all life on the planet. The shock wave from this statement reverberated across the following decade and beyond.<br/><br/>What Szilard had in mind was the third of the "alphabet bombs" that came to characterize an entire age. The first, the A-bomb, had been used to incinerate two Japanese cities. Teller's H-bomb blasted its way into public consciousness a few years later. Finally, there was the ultimate weapon: the C-bomb, a hydrogen bomb that could "transmute" an element such as cobalt into a radioactive element about 320 times as powerful as radium. A deadly radioactive cloud could be released into the atmosphere and carried by the westerly winds across the surface of the earth. Every living thing inhaling it, or even touched by it, would be doomed to certain death. In the autumn of 1950, Szilard's fears were given independent validation by Dr James R. Arnold of the Institute for Nuclear Studies in Chicago. Arnold, slide-rule in hand, had started out to debunk Szilard's arguments. He finished by publishing a set of calculations that showed that a Doomsday device, perhaps two-and-a-half times as heavy as the battleship Missouri, could indeed be built...<br/><br/>The Cobalt bomb was largely forgotten after the Cuban Missile Crisis came and went. So too disappeared the fear of a Doomsday machine that could not be overridden by human intervention. Only after the Berlin Wall had been breached and the ice of the Cold War had begun to thaw did military analysts realize the Russians had actually built a version of the device. The details of this top-secret Soviet system were first revealed in 1993 by Bruce G. Blair, a former American ICBM launch control officer, now one of the country's foremost experts on Russian arms. Fearing that a sneak attack by American submarine-launched missiles might take Moscow out in thirteen minutes, the Soviet leadership had authorized the construction of an automated communications network, reinforced to withstand a nuclear strike. At its heart was a computer system similar to the one in Dr Strangelove. Its codename was Perimetr. It went fully operational in January 1985. It is still in place. Its job is to monitor whether there have been nuclear detonations on Russian territory and to check whether communications channels with the Kremlin have been severed. If the answer to both questions is "yes" then the computer will conclude that the country is under attack and activate its nuclear arsenal. All that is then needed is final human approval from a command post buried deep underground. It would be a brave officer, adds Smith, who, having been cut off from his superiors in the Kremlin, could ignore the advice of such a supposedly foolproof system.<br/><br/>Bruce Blair has speculated that President Bush's September 2001 proposal for a new generation of weapons, including the robust nuclear earth penetrator, or "bunker-buster", might be intended to knock out the underground command post that controls the system. The Bush administration withdrew its request for funding for the program at the end of 2005, after facing fierce domestic opposition. Some military analysts, nevertheless, believe that research is continuing into these weapons. We all face the prospect that, if Russia were ever attacked, its strategic nuclear warheads could be launched by a computer system designed and built in the late 1970s. Those of us who think Dr Strangelove to be the most telling commentary on the nuclear age should not be surprised. To paraphrase the novelist J. G. Ballard, old or not, the system remains a vivid demonstration, arranged for our benefit by the machine, of our own as a species. http://tls.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,25350-2648363,00.html See also http://www.slate.com/id/2173108/pagenum/all/#page_start In addition to this, there is the problem recounted in an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that when scientists created the atomic bomb, they calculated the odds at about one chance in a million that such an explosion would end the world by starting a chain reaction in which sea water would separate into hydrogen and oxygen and ignite, turning our planet into a star and our solar system into a binary star system. But those calculations are now old and should be redone with a modern computer.<br/><br/>These details need to be included in a special features section of the DVD so that viewers will not assume that this film is a mere cold war relic with no modern relevance.
- I am rewatching all of the late 1960s/early 1970s Apes films after seeing Tim Burton's wasted mess last week. All I can say about Beneath the Planet of the Apes is that it had so much potential, but most of that potential is wasted. It starts off good, rehashing the ending of the 1968 Planet of the Apes. And it's a shame that Heston didn't want to make another Apes film (even though he appears in about 1/4th of this one anyway--strange) because that is where an interesting sequel could have gone. A creative scriptwriter could have come up with a lot more interesting "surprises" had they shown he-man Heston exploring what 40th century earth had become. Funny, this film immediately starts to remind me of Burton's 2001 Planet of the Apes when we first flash to the James Franciscus "spaceship crashed on earth" scene. It's like, "Oh no, it's going to be another film of rushed plot elements hokily referring to the first." Basically, that is what you get in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. We see he-man Heston and she-woman Nova in flashbacks confronting mysteriously bad-looking Ten Commandment-like psychic illusions in the Forbidden Zone. We see he-man Heston falling into one of the psychic illusions in the Forbidden Zone and she-woman Nova's ever-cheesy, ever-tortured expression. (However, there is another great soliloque by Heston in a Nova flashback before he disappears--the one where he contemplates starting a colony with Nova. Man, you've got to love those cheesy Heston soliloques in the Apes flicks.) Sorry to say, Franciscus is just no match for Heston in terms screen presence in the Apes films. Heston simply is THE MAN in Planet of the Apes. We go back to the ape city for part of Beneath the Planet of the Apes, but that part of the film seems rushed, more like Burton's approach (the Cliff Notes approach) to me. Kim Hunter's Dr. Zira is still good, as is Maurice Evans Dr. Zaius and David Watson's Cornelius (I didn't even realize it wasn't Roddy McDowell until the end). Though cheesy, I still enjoy the late 1960s/early 1970s political satire in this film--the protesting young chimps in the streets, the LBJ-like Dr. Zaius exclaiming, "Move along, young people, move along!" and the Vietnam-era general-types in the gorillas. It's the cheese/effective stuff like this that Burton's film has none of (which it could have, being that Burton seems like a fine film maker, and that is why his film is so puzzling). Anyway, the human underground city that Francisus and Nova discover is interesting in this film, but again, the whole thing is too rushed to work effectively. We meet the underground people, who have psychic powers, but there are so many gaps in logic in what they are and aren't psychic about that it is not even worth commenting on. The underground people's religious service to the atomic bomb is interesting, but beyond that their presence does not have much power. Heston and Franciscus's meeting is laughable; it makes no sense and again makes me wonder: If Heston was going to be in this film for the last twenty minutes, why didn't he just agree to do the whole thing? So odd. And the ending is a joke--senseless and rushed. But it's still on OK B movie in my opinion. I like it better than Burton's. One final comment: I can't believe these films are rated "G". There's some violent, scary stuff in them and though low budget-looking by today's standards, I think they at least merit a PG rating. Beneath is not great, but it's worth a watch anyway.
- A workmanlike sequel, it lacks the wit and intelligence of its predecessor.
- Following the trajectory made by Taylor's spaceship, another astronaut named Brent (<a href="/name/nm0002082/">James Franciscus</a>) crashlands on the planet of the apes in the year 3955AD and goes in search of Taylor (<a href="/name/nm0000032/">Charlton Heston</a>), who has gone missing in the Forbidden Zone. While trying to escape from a band of gorilla soldiers led by the war hungry Ursus (<a href="/name/nm0339834/">James Gregory</a>), Brent and Nova (<a href="/name/nm0365709/">Linda Harrison</a>) stumble upon a subterranean fortress where a cult of humans are hiding. Meanwhile, the gorilla army has decided to invade the Forbidden Zone and kill all remaining humans, because "the only good human is a dead human!" Beneath the Planet of the Apes is a sequel to <a href="/title/tt0063442/">Planet of the Apes (1968)</a> (1968), which was based on the 1963 novel La Planète des Singes by French writer Pierre Boulle. The screenplay for Beneath the Planet of the Apes is credited to Paul Dehn and Mort Abrahams. A novelization of the film by American writer Michael Avallone was released in 1970. Beneath the Planet of the Apes was followed by three more sequels: <a href="/title/tt0067065/">Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)</a> (1971), <a href="/title/tt0068408/">Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)</a> (1972), and <a href="/title/tt0069768/">Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)</a> (1973). Besides Taylor and Nova, chimpanzees Zira (<a href="/name/nm0001375/">Kim Hunter</a>) and Cornelius (<a href="/name/nm0914569/">David Watson</a>) put in an appearance as does orangutan Dr Zaius (<a href="/name/nm0263052/">Maurice Evans</a>). The gorilla army discovers the subterranean passage and descends upon the city of mutant humans, clubbing or gunning down everyone who gets in the way. Still confined in their cell, Brent, Taylor, and Nova hear the gunfire and break out. While sneaking down the corridor, they come face-to-face with a gorilla, whom they are able to kill but not before he guns down Nova. Brent and Taylor make their way to the cathedral where Zaius and the gorilla army are confronted by Mendez (<a href="/name/nm0724268/">Paul Richards</a>), who introduces them to his God...the doomsday bomb. He activates the bomb but is unable to hit the detonator before being gunned down. Ursus orders his gorillas to pull down the bomb with rope, block, and tackle, and the bomb begins to emit steam. Brent detracts Ursus when he goes to hit the detonator in an attempt to stop the steam. Zaius notices Taylor hiding behind a pillar, and Ursus shoots him. Brent then shoots Ursus. Crawling toward the detonator, Taylor asks for Zaius' help, but Zaius refuses. "Man is evil...capable of nothing but destruction," he charges. Brent picks up a gun and shoots down a few gorillas but is ultimately shot dead by them. In the final scene, Taylor reaches for the detonator and pushes it. The screen goes white, and a voiceover says: In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe lies a medium-sized star. And one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead. a5c7b9f00b
