It's Friday night, y'all. Time for #wenchwatches
Tonight: #beneathThePlanetOfTheApes
We pick up right where we left off. Taylor and Nova riding off into the Forbidden Zone leaving Zira, Cornelius, and Zaius behind....
Waitaminute...Statue of Liberty, THAT WAS OUR PLANET! YOU MA---.
Anyways...
Luna is deciding to make this watch difficult. Cat, I need that hand...
Sequels can often go one of two ways:
You do the same thing as the first film, sometimes better, sometimes worse. You do a completely different thing.
This film is doing more of the former than the latter. Instead of merely continuing with Taylor and Nova, we get a second ship crashing in the Forbidden Zone, with our lone survivor of Brent.
For whatever reason, Brent is a PoV character this time, and not Taylor. Perhaps Heston asked for too much cash this time.
Heston wanted nothing to do with any sequels. He felt it blunted the message of the first movie. In fact, the only way they could get him back was to kill him off, which was supposed to happen at the beginning of the movie. They moved it to the end.
He even donated his pay to charity.
