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 of the film is weird and inexplicable. There was a group of people who could communicate through telepathy. These people can use their minds to create illusions, make people hear and see, and even manipulate people's conscious behavior. Such a powerful ability has absolutely no effect on the orangutan. Belongs to "only bullying one's own person" act of villain. The most terrifying thing is that they suddenly pulled off their human skin masks, revealing a hideous face. These "people" also regarded a 20th-century nuclear bomb as a god and eventually destroyed the entire earth.

In view of the time when it was filmed, let's think it is a kind of irony to the society. The deterrent power of nuclear weapons is also vividly demonstrated in the film. This movie completely destroyed the seeds and beautiful images of human hope, and was rated as "one of the movies with terrible endings."
