Sagas Simians: The rebellion of the simians (Conquest of the Planet of the Apes)

J. Lee Thompson, 1972
After the improvable third delivery of our saga favorite simian, the series mends the flight and finally we are going to be witnesses of the riot that it puts to the simians supervised by the planet over the human beings. We are in 1991 and after an epidemic that left the human beings without favourite animals, these received to the simians in his houses. Little by little there were stopping being pets to realize domestic works and to turn into authentic slaves treated with cruelty, in addition to being submitted to a totalitarian diet that watches them and suppresses. In this culture medium, it is not strange that signs of rebellion appear and that also the terrestrial leaders worry before the possible existence between them of a legendary simian with the faculty to speak that he can guide to those of his species to the victory.
Obviously be new "chosen" (in the best tradition of the Nero, John Connor, etc.) it is César, Aurelio's son (Cornelius) and Zira, the only survivor of the intelligent simians come from the future and that it is supported under the protection of the circus businessman Arming (Ricardo Montalbán). The argument develops according to the realization of the simian of the oppression to which his class turns out to be submitted while in parallel the authorities are closing the circle on Arming and César, to finish the tape with the awaited rebellion simian and the later battle between human beings and simians.
- oppressed societies, the best ingredient for the science fiction -
The first half of this tape is extraordinary, of the best thing that the series B can offer us. With limited resources, there develops an exciting history of oppressed societies and capture of conscience of class that would stimulate any sociologist, in addition to having the ingredient “big brother” with this constant alertness of the simians staged in these loudspeakers that distribute prevention notices against them. It is true that the final part with the awaited clash gets longer in excess offering little more than simians planes falling down on soldiers' battalions (in modest quantity, let's not forget that at this point of saga we are already with two feet got into the series B), and that for when finally these are on the point of reaching his revenge on the human shift tyrant, César's Messianic intervention puts the obliging tone and ruins the climax, but the fact is that first of all it was necessary to keep aces in the sleeve for more aftermath. more?: Yes other one still stays … and two series of television... and a remake.
- To give him cane man!.... I say...: simian! -
In any case and for stranger who seems at this point of saga, “The rebellion of the simians” is entirely advisable, a big example of science fiction constructed with desire in the script and wise move in the achievement however much I left a sweet and sour retaste to us in the end.
Evaluation: 7/10
Certainly that by the end, it seems that originally to the friend César the pulse was not trembling and the simians were crushing cruelly any human being who was putting himself ahead, but in test passes the hearings reacted badly to so many cruelty and there was constructed in the assembly room the disappointing end that now can be in DVD. As gift of your always fervent servant Dr. Quatermass, I put to you a video of the original end that I could have found in youtube. Tremendous and clearly superior to the one that stayed for the posterity:
