      It turns out that movies with such a bullshit logic are not only the patents of domestic films...

      This second "Lost Planet" is too dick!

      Who are those people, are they a demon or a demon? Is it someone who has lived until now in the 20th century?

      Will there be superpowers for Mao?

      Because Mao has superpowers, he would use atomic bombs to have such a highly civilized and supernatural superpowers, yet he would sneer at the protagonist who claimed to be an astronaut and was a man of the 20th century. Don't you believe that there is such a thing?

      For Mao...

      Terrible

      The second part of the "Ball of the Apes" series. This second child, sandwiched between the first and third part, is really very, very second.

      The content of the first part was directly taken over from the beginning, with no special features. Then there appeared the male protagonist Brent, whose appearance and costume personality were very similar to those of the first male protagonist Taylor, no wonder the orangutans felt that everyone was the same.

      The second half...

      "Fall of the Apes": mediocrity bred bright spots

      1968's "Planet of the Apes" achieved a win-win for word of mouth and box office with its imaginative plot setting, shocking ending and superb special effects makeup, and the biggest success was to establish itself among science fiction fans and geeks. Another screen classic. As a producer, 20th Century Fox certainly did not miss this opportunity. So in 1970, he launched the second episode of...

      The apes have learned the lessons of mankind and no longer kill each other.

      Sudden lightning, fire, and ground sinking.

      Zira is an ape scientist who is friendly to humans.

      Escape from hunting, as if two naked men and naked women elope.

      Want to kill after drinking magic water?

      Is the atomic bomb God?

      Advanced aliens communicate with muscular men through thoughts, and they successfully master the technique of using hallucinations.

      The General Blackfaced Ape dressed up like an ugly monster.

      The apes have learned the lessons of...

      "Fall of the Apes": The "Holy Bullet" on the Ruins of New York

      The second part of the Planet of the Apes series. The story immediately follows the first part.

      The narrative style remains the same as in the first part. Through simple stories, it deeply reflects the various status quo of human-like society.

      Dictatorship, war, militarism, advocacy of force, anti-war demonstrations, self-killing among similar people, etc., are all shown in this 90-minute movie.

      Like the first film, it is really rare to reflect deep political and...

      Magic sticks, but the stunts used to be very intimate. I don't quite understand what the writer/producer went through. It's so desperate to arrange such an ending. It's hardly a movie, but a private vent room. The world of...

      The various illusions of human beings and the conversation section are rather ridiculous. Although it can't compare to the first one, it's still worth watching. However, there are some obvious connection problems between the beginning and the end of the third part. Many things are not...

    The story of the film is to be undertaken. Time-displaced astronauts Taylor (James Franciscus) and Nova (Linda Harrison) ride through the desert in the restricted area on horseback. Without warning, shoot a crack in the ground, a deep crack that opens from the ground.
