Jane Fonda gets her kit off in the 40th century
Based on a risque comic strip adventure the film follows our 40th century
astronaut around a strange world inhabited by angels and other strange beasts.
A superficial film that doesn't quite rate as a comedy but is certainly
entertaining. And Marcel Marceau has a speaking part.

We are not alone ...
An overly long film, but one that does manage to keep us with it, as we
follow the events after a series of UFO's are seen over Indiana. A sort of
extended version of Spielbergs Amazing Stories.
Interesting threads run throughout the film and the conclusion is a spectacular
concept; unfortunately lacking in realism but carried off fairly well. The later
Director's Cut cut down the middle and extended the ending; I'm still not
sure which version I prefer. A good mix of adventure, science fiction and anticipation if you can stick with
it.

A bored crew endure their daily existance out amongst the stars
John Carpenter's first acclaimed film that became a cult classic; perhaps one of
the lowest budget films that can be truly hailed as a success.
The low budget shows and the film sags at times but the general result is one
of excellant screenplay and concept. Highly amusing in places and thought
provoking at others. Let there be light ...

An alternative Earth where Ape reigns over Man
The first and best of the series with an extremely simple plot; Astronauts
get caught in a time warp and arrive on a future Earth where Apes dominate
mankind. The success of the film owes much to the credibility of the Apes themselves;
superb make-up, backed up with brilliant actor characterisations, make it hard
not to believe that such creatures really do exist. The complete set of films in the series were ...
- 1968, The Planet of the Apes
- 1969, Beneath the Planet of the Apes
- 1970, Escape from the Planet of the Apes
- 1972, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
- 1973, Battle for the Planet of the Apes
A remake of the original film is scheduled for release in 1999.
