Movie Reviews of Behind the Planet of the Apes
Movie Review: History of Apes movies a parallel universe: a reflection of the late 60s, early 70s
Summary: 5 Stars
I may have enjoyed this documentary more than the movies themselves. I'm glad I've seen the whole 5-part saga (what life would be complete otherwise), but in spite of the fact that I love the Ape vibe and paraphernelia, and the cool opening shots and music of the TV show that puts me in 1974 land again with Kung Fu - in spite of that, I don't think I could ever sit through one of those movies again. Some of them are a real test of endurance at times. This feature however has been my most enjoyable ape experience on dvd yet! In a 2 hour plus program, it takes you through the storyline and history of the 5 movies AND the TV show with a recap of all the stories and some interesting background as to what the producers and writers were up to as they churned up another 'Apes' movie. Interesting stuff for those who are more enthralled with the Planet of the Apes phenomenon as a nostalgia or an idea as opposed to those who actually can sit through the movies! Anyway, those in either camp will enjoy it. Ex-ape himself, Roddy McDowell, takes us on the journey. Anyone who's ever waxed nostalgic on Planet of the Apes should find this very interesting.
