![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opened the world up and showed us the beginnings of ape civilization and the downfall of humanity. Add to this some striking electronic effects and a bizarre choral mass written for the atomic bomb-worshipping mutants, and you have the recipe for one of the most original science fiction movie scores ever written.Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a great introduction to Caesar (Andy Serkis), the first ape to gain intelligence and rebel against humanity. Rosenman's approach is in its way diametrically opposed to Goldsmith's-composed of vertically-stacked layers of sound, clanging, metallic effects, bristling, rambunctious chase music and a perverse, chaotic march for the ape army. Taking over for Jerry Goldsmith, composer Leonard Rosenman retained the neoprimitive musical underpinnings of the ape world while creating a score very much written in his own, inimitable style. yet.Īcting was almost identical to the original movie, I would not spend too much time there - good is the word! The most outstanding part of this movie was the music part. Later, the directing improves but you can see in almost every shot that Ted Post is a TV director, not ready for a cinema. It looked like everything was hurried, and had no feelings or substance. Confused by the strange phenomenon, Taylor investigates a cliff wall and disappears before Nova's eyes. the start was like out of nowhere, directing was really atrocious in those first few minutes! Without warning, fire shoots up from the ground and deep chasms open. In this sequel, another spacecraft crashes on the planet ruled by apes, carrying astronaut Brent who searches for Taylor and discovers an underground city inhabited by mutated humans with psychic powers (real boring creatures).īeneath the Planet of the Apes was a success at the box office but it wasn't anything special! Following the events of Planet of the Apes, time-displaced astronaut Taylor (Charlton Heston) and the mute Nova (Linda Harrison) are riding on horseback through the desert of the Forbidden Zone. The film stars James Franciscus, Kim Hunter, and Linda Harrison, and features Charlton Heston in a supporting role. It is the second of five films in the original Planet of the Apes series produced by Arthur P. First one I got from the series was this 1970 film directed by Ted Post and written by Paul Dehn. I was a great fan of all the Planet of the Apes movies, but because I watched them as a child, I decided to revisit them and write the reviews. ![]()
