Planet of the Apes. Third. From the third installment in the saga of the Planet of the Apes comic becomes pure seventies body halfway innovation and immaturity.
topics are discussed, fame, abortion, discrimination, integration, if the end justifies the means, but all without going into details lest he draw attention to the Fox (as the Comics Code) .
But a theme that appears over the years will become a recurring formula of the culture of entertainment: The temporal paradox with its inconsistencies and headaches.

Three apes, Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter), Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) and Dr. Milo (Sal Mineo), have survived the nuclear disaster on their planet and, after fixing the human ship, travel back in time to reach Earth from the late twentieth century.

SPOILERS!
The Fox and Arthur P. Jacobs ordered and screenwriter Paul Dehn obeys. How to bring back the series after the nuclear apocalypse?, Asking for a huge leap of faith to the public. How do you rate the fact that three monkeys take out the bottom of a lake a spacecraft, the repair and get the hell on it?.
The movie is bland removing the death of Milo and some Graciet dispensable Aurelio / Cornelius (Have you noticed the change of name is Spain?) and Zira turned into celebrities.
accelerate seems that the last third of the film is tradition and here is the fact that humans (the USA representing humanity) decide the abortion of Zira to prevent simian uprising.
Deaths and final surprise is the only highlight of a boring film directed by Don Taylor trashy it dealt with a budget that did not reach the $ 2 million.
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes / The Rise of the Apes (1972). Jack Lee Thompson.
United States, 1991. An epidemic has killed all cats and dogs on earth. The need to keep pets brought the men to take the monkeys, which eventually turned into servants. It also creates a training center where wild monkeys are civilized from coercion, beatings and electroshock therapies. Meanwhile Armando grew up in secret to Caesar (Roddy McDowall), the son of Zira and Cornelius talking apes. Making her go through another chimpanzee irrational, he draws from his circus and takes you to the city. To see what humans are doing with their own kind, cursing them in public and it is evident, since forced into hiding for his safety. Soon discover that you can communicate with telepathically theirs and insurrection began to flourish, encourages general disobedience, his own gun and starts to understand that intelligence is power.

The big surprise of the series, a movie tough, brave, well shot and with many possibilities for the future but also with small defects. Paul Dehn
sleeve is removed from his best screenplay inspired by the Watts uprising but as always leaves something in the pipeline, I understand that Caesar is an evolved ape, but ... Where do the other apes?, Where are the orangutans to Zaius?.
And perhaps most Fat is the fact that in the previous movie was said that the first ape revolt was a certain Aldo, made by Cornelius found in some ancient texts. Who's wrong or Paul Dehn ancient texts?.
Among his noteworthy achievements under a government that American police, black leather, futuristic facilities (a shopping center newly built) and all fishing.
And ignore the fact that this is a very violent movie, you may not see offal but being a commercial movie aimed at children / young people is to praise the boldness despite the ominous final speech was altered to give a flavor more hopeful. JL Thompson performs
a commendable job in giving an air of overproduction of a low-budget film, thanks to tricks like shooting at night, close-ups, colorful costumes and a well-chosen locations. New
air for a franchise that needed them but the promises of longer hours of glory left at that ...

Battle for the Planet of the Apes / Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973). Jack Lee Thompson.

Courage can be costly and daring when she saw The Rise of the Apes had severe effects the main one sweetening content.
We have an adventure movie made from the coins that were in the chairs of Fox, the budget is so low that even the resourceful JL Thompson can get the project to acceptable results. Back
Cesar, who has created a community where apes and humans live together (is the same timeline of Taylor or new?), We show the gorillas as military bellicose previous films, become the missing orangutans and return back to the mutants in a forgettable film in the single included the presence of the future Bishop of Assault on Lt. Commissioner District 13: Austin Stoker. And a John Houston "in it for the money."
The disastrous economic and artistic finish to the saga, a heart attack takes the producer Arthur P. Jacobs when he was working on a possible resurrection would come years later in TV format, and not only become the apes but also the essential Roddy McDowall returns. But that's a story for another day.
