Planet of the Apes!

Hi peoples! Next up my spring break movie marathon. First up Planet of the Apes!






So recently I saw the oldest Planet of the apes and the newer 2001 version. First I'll tell you about the first movie. The first movie had a good plot that had action and just the right amount of mystery and creepiness. It started with their spaceship crashing on the unknown planet in nearly the year 4000. Only 3 men survived and soon the main character is thrust into a awesome battle with the rest of the native humans semi intelligent and mute for the truth and freedom for the human race.





Now for the second movie. The second movie started with a society much more advanced and the main character takes a one man ship into a electromagnetic storm. He crashes into the jungle and is soon caught in a slave raid by the apes. A girl ape finds him and sees his intelligence and buys him with a girl. Soon they escape into the jungle to find the truth.


So in conclusion I like the first movie better. Which I admit surprised me. For one thing I liked the terrain better which was the woods instead of the jungle but I guess it did make more sense for apes to be in the jungle. Also I didn't like how they changed it so much like the first movie was to good to change so much. The apes in the first movie were also more advanced with guns and crossbows. Also in the second movie the native humans could talk and were a bit smarter making that more like African Americans being slaves than having humans who actually acted like apes in the first movie. More ever the girl in the second movie almost never talked to him and then randomly kissed him in the end. Also the costumes in the second movie were better but somehow the costumes in the first movie were scarier. Lastly I liked the ending much better. I think having the hero find out the past in front of the wrecked statue of liberty is better than a goofy ending that didn't make much sense ( I won't spoil it ). Not to say it was bad just could of been better.



So I hope you see the planet of the apes. It really makes you think about today's society. Maybe I'll even see the movies after the first one and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Bye!
