My brother who absolutely thought Beneath was a disaster thanks to the special effects really enjoyed the philosophical elements of Escape from the Planet of the Apes. Do you eliminate a perfect good sentient being even knowing possibly that he can ruin the society of the Planet of the Apes?
It also murs the original's continuity a bit like the recent X Men films but with good reason.
Again like Planet there are no bad guys except maybe in this case the humans who imprison apes.
Also, let's get ape drunk!
"I said louder!"
"Lousy human bastards"
Conquest was a tale of religious and racial rebellion, freedom, fate.
The ethics used when using a truth telling machine is interesting.
Going totalitarian over the use of pets is a humorous premise but interesting enough and even has a bit of a Star Wars-like inspiration involved. The violence was a bit low key for its time, but there wasn't much in the US to begin with.
Was it ignorant to compare apes to African American civil rights leaders?
No. They were equals even superiors.
Battle had some nice set design but was a bittersweet end to the franchise with a bittersweet ending. The script felt very rushed not enjoyable and noticeably a lot of people didn't like this film.
