Movie review



The planet of the apes cover



The movie that I’ll review in this essay is named: The Planet of the Apes and I’m sure you’ve heard about it.

The movie was aired in 1968, and was directed by Franklin Shaffner. It was inspired on the novel with the samen name.

Plot:
In the year 1974, four astronauts are sent to space in an exploring mission. The captain of the ship, George Taylor (Charlton Heston) has calculated that, with the Theory of Relativity of Einstein, the time on Earth will be accelerated. The mission has taken 18 months; while on Earth have passed 2006 years since the launch of the ship.

During the voyage, a malfunction in the ship has caused the death of one of the astronauts, and finally, the ship ends up falling into an unknown planet. The three remaining explorers get out of the ship and start exploring this new planet. A bit later, they discover life form, but in a weird and disturbing way. In this world, “humans” behave like animals, and they are being exterminated by some kind race of apes.


Our three humans end up separating from each other, and get captured by the apes. Since now, the story will focus on the captain Taylor, and with him, we’ll learn about this strange ape society, and the mysterious story of this unknown planet…
