Regarding MJ5K’s Review
Very true, Wick. I actually hadn’t thought about it that way.

Regarding MJ5K’s Review
Another impressively comprehensive review of the PotA franchise MJ.

Reflecting on Beneath, it strikes me that it marked one of the first SciFi franchises. It was hardly the first sequel or even franchise in Hollywood history, but franchises were previously limited to James Bond and/or silly serials like Road to Morocco.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes came out of nowhere and fancied itself a serious SciFi film. We take that for granted today. Hell, we expect it. Back then it was something new.
