Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)

 

Continues the Story Nicely

This second film of the series expands the universe nicely. There is a darker turn for our humans to discover about the strange Earth. They run into a bizarre telepathic race of men who are hell bent on "War/Violence is Peace". I found these telepathic humans to be the most violent of all.

The film focus' on Brent, an astronaut looking to find Taylor and his men, and discovers The Planet of the Apes. Brent's introduction is much like Taylor's.

Good casting and great supporting cast. The special effects and make-up are on par - definitely matches the first movie. Story is great, though the tale gets even darker for our astronauts.

Much recommend viewing.

9/10
