I so wish they would have kept the original franchise going, although by the time of "Battle for the POTA", the level of sheer cheesiness and the ridiculous cornball factor had become epic. But the edgy, satirical yet tension-filled action and drama of the first film ranks it as a true classic and masterpiece of cinematic art.
@@blaineedwards8078 I love the fact that Rod Serling was involved in the original 68 film - and flipped the world depicted in the book (Pierre Boulle - read it)
I think we saw her in the film, very briefly, at the start. I always thought it really good for the story that they killed her off. Not because womenz cantz z space but because omg we just lost the cherished one. reallly brings out how unforgiving and harsh space travel is.
@@Man_of_Tomorrow I wasn't depressed maybe a bit sad but certainly horrified! These were the BEST people! They did everything they could! They did everything right! Yet she STILL died! Lesson? If you do it wrong somehow people DIE! Basically put "the fear of god" in me.
It's interesting they used Eric Braeden as that scientist - instead of being made for the original movie, I wonder if this was actually some kind of marketing teaser/short for "Escape from the Planet of the Apes"?
He says, "...these brave space pioneers can never return to the world they knew". This begs the question; why would ANSA have sent Brent and his "skipper" on a mission to find Taylor and his crew?
So that there would be a sequel. The early scripts which focused on Taylor's character were essentially rejected because Charlton Heston only agreed to work a certain number of days. Another issue they had to address for the sequel was the method by which present day astronauts arrive on Earth two thousand years in the future. In the first film, it's time dilation but in the sequel, it's a "time bend" which fortunately sets up the possibility of how Cornelius and Zira manage to return to the 20th Century after Earth's destruction.
@@HerrEllsworth spot on. Science fiction on screen has to "bend" to contracts and the desires of directors, producers and actors. Planet of the Apes (original) is one of the only space opera movies that is faithful to the known concepts of physics at the time, only suspending disbelief in imagining a ship with living crew could go almost light speed.
My guess is that to explain it on screen, Taylor's ship must have disappeared from whatever tracking ANSA was using almost immediately, close enough for Hasslien to send it's sister ship on the same course to see what had happened. I have read the theory that somehow Taylor's ship collided with itself (the ship containing Ape-nauts from Escape) and somehow this was detected by ANSA and then again, rescue mission, though in Escape when the ship is found off the California coast, no one was expecting it to be there.
The whole idea of sending astronauts 2000 years into the future "to benefit mankind," makes no sense at all. 1. We have no idea what Earth is like 2000 years in the future. It could be good or bad. 2. Sending astronauts to the Future does not benefit our present timeline in any way.
@@generalyellor2187 Yeah.... he kinda forgot to say 'why'. It's ironic because Dodge was presented before the mission as a well educated man with twice the intelligence and wisdom of his age, yet in the future he was simply captured like a wild animal and put on display as a primitive sub-species less evolved than the simians.
@@mt9567 I suspect the reason why they chose a black man to play Dodge was because of the character's fate. The general public would have been too terrified at the scene of the taxidermied Dodge had he been a white man. In 1968, black people were still generally perceived as lowly citizens and still treated as such, so a taxidermied black man in the '60s would have been less terrifying for white people to see on the screen.
@@captainozone5393 WRONG. The white friend Landon was also in the museum as was told to Brent in the second film. You are a bit of a racist, but see yourself as enlightened.
Just imagine embarking on that mission and getting overtaken by a later, yet more promising mission from the year 2116, which relays orders to turn back to earth immediately...
It's actually a bit of conundrum, if we get the technology to travel to another star system, likely it would take such a long time that it may be better to wait until we have better technologies, but we may never manage to achieve better tech. So do we go as soon as we can but take a long time getting there and risk the mission being made redundant by a faster ship that overtakes it or wait and risk wasting time?
@@Mewithabeard In his 'summa technologiae', Stanisław Lem once calculated the energy needed to travel to the next star. He concluded - if I remember this accurately - , that the configuration of such starship would be the ship itself with fuel provisions of the size of the moon...
@@11Kralle Hmm, I wonder what assumptions he was making about energy efficiency. I once read a paper in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society which concluded that, for an antimatter thermal rocket, velocities up to one third light speed could be achieved with a fuel to payload mass of only four to one. That would mean you could go to Alpha Centauri and back in about 26 years with a total fuel mass only 256 times that of the spaceship.
@@odysseusrex5908 Lem certainly did not include anti-matter into his considerations, yet he did mention a lot about the practicabilities of manned space-flight as it was known back in the day. I'd have to re-read the book to give a good answer, since I do not even remember if his concept was to be a multi-generation-ship or a near-light speed flight. If I remember correctly, he deemed the travel impossible without new physics-principles to be discovered and exploited.
The flaw is the plan is that, in 2000 years, we'll be able to get to Proxima C in a minute which means that we'll pass the Liberty ship on the way. 🚀👩🏽🚀🛸👨🏽🚀
If that was the case, the astronauts would be hailed as ambassadors from the past who gave up everything to get a peek at the future. Their ship could have contained stored information in their computers of the 20th century that would be of great scientific interest to the people of the future. Its also just as possible that Hasslien figured that modern man had a high probability of destroying itself in a nuclear war, or some kind of societal collapse brought on by a plague,overpopulation, or ecological disaster. The history of human civilization up to that point, showed that human civilization has gone through cycles of enlightenment, followed by centuries of barbarism where society has to relearn knowledge. Hasslien could have figured that Talyor's mission could have met an intelligent civilization in the Alpha Centuari system, and returned to Earth where that knowledge would have to be used to rebuild human civilization.
@@deadtoadsoup You can't just assume that it will ever be possible to get to exceed the speed of light. So your assumption is not science but science fiction.
I have seen this before and really enjoyed it. I keep scanning for something related to apes in the background...a banana? Model of the Statue of Liberty? Hey...Project Liberty!
Very well done! I've always thought though that the Liberty 1 looked like it was part of something bigger. Like it was the "top half' of something larger.
Watched this on the Big screen, the very week it come out, and when the horse riders turned around and saw the first close up shot of them, the look on every kids face in that theater….simple said….Damn !!!
What did their faces look like when Taylor saw the Statue of Liberty rising up from the beach? I was only 1 when that came out but I can imagine gasps coming from those who knew what it meant. Still one of the most shocking endings to a movie ever.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere the older kids knew and the young kids were asking for an explanation on the way out of the theater…..the word Shit was the new face expression ! ! ! ! 🐵🙈🙉🙊
I didn't see it in theaters I wasn't here until '73, but when those apes were on horseback and were first revealed it traumatized me at 8 years old and the scarecrows had already creeped me out, but I was hooked.
More like what Dr. Zaius told Taylor before he and Nova horseback rode deeper into The Forbidden Zone. Something he should have known before taking the galactic mission to discover a so-called better Earth and leaving the previous one behind him. "Don't look for it Taylor...........you may not like what you'll find."
In the third movie, Escape From Planet of the Apes, Dr. Otto Hasslein is the dude that wanted to kill Cornelius, Zira and their baby (Caesar), and almost did.
Fantastic video---love the faded quality and occasional skips in the "film" to give it a vintage feel. I believe this was a fan-made project that so impressed the people at Fox that they included it on their Blu-Ray package. There was a big screen presentation of POTA last year. This video would have made a great addition if they had shown it just before the film. Unfortunately, despite its prowess, this video gets one thing wrong. If the objective of the mission had been Alpha Centauri then, at near light speed, the Icarus would have reached it in just over 4.5 years, real time. If they had returned to Earth only nine years or so would have elapsed, not two thousand.
Bender IsGreat, you're forgetting the relativisitic effects of lightspeed (or near light) travel. 9 years for our astronauts true; but on Earth, two thousand years would have gone by as we are not traveling at lightspped but are only observing. Maybe a little confusing but this is stated in the movie and is consistent with Einstein's Theory of Relativity (which have been proven out by scientific observation).
@@bmorsette Actually, I'm taking it into effect. Astronauts going to Alpha Centauri would barely age but nine years would pass once they got back to Earth. Now, if they had departed for a star in the constellation Orion (not necessarily Bellatrix) then any number of years could have passed while they were at light speed. Of course, they had to change this "near-light" concept for the sequel.
@Gregory Dahl Still - 4.5 lightyears at close to lightspeed only takes a little more than 4.5 years. At 50% lightspeed the journey would take 9 "earth years" and due to time dilation the passengers would only age 3.8 years. At 99% lightspeed it would only be about 8 months for the passengers, so hyper sleep would hardly be necessary.
@Gregory Dahl Did you even read my reply? I even gave you a 50% example! The premis of the movie was "near lightspeed", which in my book requires more than 50%. But just for the sake of argument, let's say 10% then. It would still only be a 90 year roundtrip from earth perspective and about 89.5 years from the crews perspective. That's nowhere near 2000 years.
Amazing movie. I loved it when the bass started thumping and Charleton Heston got his groove on with that chimpanzee. Almost as shocking as when captain Kirk kissed the gorilla on the Enterprise. Landmark moments in TV history.👍
Even today the planet of the apes in my opinion, is still one of the best and most thought compelling sci fi movies! Not in the sense of Apes taking over, but what indeed what would come after us after we had either destroyed ourselves or been wiped out by a truly deadly virus! Ot as the great George Carlin once said “the earth isn’t going anywhere……we are”
When you think of sci-fi movies Planet of the Apes is often forgotten. It's because most of the movie takes place in a setting without technology. But it is a true sci-fi movie. What's great about it is that it explores hate and racism. Seeing the apes assuming that the White astronaught is an idiot who can't speak touches on how Europeans looked at Africans in the early colonial period. And the apes have a sense of ape supremacy. They're so threatened by the possibility that they are not superior. It's a fascinating movie.
@Gregory Dahl When I was a teen, I read the original book, Pierre Boulé's "La Planète des Singes". It's explained that once a ship reaches very-near-lightspeed, time dilation is so important that going to a star system very far away doesn't take that much more time than to a nearby star. You just keep coasting for a few more minutes, hours, days, whatever (ship time) - it's accelerating and decelerating that take the longest, about one year either way. In the book, our closest stellar neighbours had all been observed and deemed to be devoid of life. so the mission planners decided to send the ship to a star 60 light-years away (if memory serves), that had a better chance of being more interesting. But a malfunction in the navigation system causes a delay in the deceleration phase of the flight and they travel some 2000 light-years. Both in the book and the movie, it's never clearly explained how the crew happened to return to Earth rather than just end up at some random planet 2k LY's' away. Oh and there was no hibernation involved, the ship's enormous speed made that useless.
@@chialeux514 actuallt they do the hesslin curve , was some anomolly proposed by dr hesslin that might see there trajectory curve back on itself like a loop so "hesslin curve" bs jargon was born...
According to the laws of physics, all of this is explained if you just dig a little further. I do not have the time or desire to explain it here, but I have written several papers and a post doctorate thesis on the subject. -Dr. David James
@@STho205 Mistakes... Well, even when the film came out, it was obviously not what I would term good science fiction. The space mission made little sense (Implied colonization with three men and one woman OR exploration on a time scale that made the mission a one way trip into the future). The concept of apes becoming essentially hairy men in a few thousand years and the business of Taylor not realizing that the Earthlike planet with familiar vegetation and hairy hominids speaking English must be Earth, pretty much remove any serious SF. But, as an episode of The Twilight Zone writ large, it was and is excellent.
The ANSA building in the begining is actually a bank building in Albuquerque New Mexico I live behind it! First National Bank! But Wells Fargo has it now!😎🦖
This was cool and a special treat all these years later and never knowing of it. I imagine if I set out to build a spaceship it would come out looking like the one in the newsreel.
Yes, and interestingly, Dr. Zaius - the other primary antagonist of the series - also was trying to save the world in the 1st movie from "the beast Man...the Devil's pawn".
@@kennethdemuchest5171 Eric Braeden was in Colossus: The Forbin Project. He also starred in The Rat Patrol, a WW2 TV series in the mid 1960s, but he was Hans Gundergast then.
One issue in the movie ' Planet of the apes' that didn't make sense was Charlton Heston saying the female astronaut was to be the 'EVE' as in Adam & Eve for breeding/population issue with new world. If this was to really occur/happen the gender ratio would be reversed with 1 male & 3 female astronauts.
Aww, that's awesome! I had no idea that this was kicking around. I never saw this on any of the special features. Even with the making of the Planet of the Apes, this segment was not shown. Thanks for this, much appreciated! It adds to the flavour of this wonderful film. Cheers!
Yes, what we saw was too small to be the main ship, perhaps capsule or exploration vessel from the main ship. There's not enough space for food, water, life support etc. In the book there were 3 exploration vehicles while the main ship remained in orbit
OMG! Who made this? I always loved the science behind the original planet of the apes. It's barely hinted at throughout the four films; the 3rd film w/ Eric Braden as the evil Dr Heslein (but first mentioned by Taylor in the first film) talks the most about the missions. The Ape films timeline is another area of the films I loved. Clearly, this was a universe where Nasa didn't exist and different American space agency (ANSA) did and was clearly more advance. I loved the use of the project names "Lady Liberty" that was very clever! Great use of rarely seen production photos (never seen the actress who played Steward clearly). Wonderful job!
not trademark but political yeah. you can make films about literal u.s. government agencies but don't be surprised if it attacks unwanted and unpredictable attention.
There was a great sci-fi novel i read similar to the POTA plot. Crew embarks in hypersleep for a 1000 year journey. Only to arrive at their destination to be greeted as heroes by earth people that advanced scientifically during that time, passed them in modern ships and colonised the planet they were heading to well in advance of the mission. 'Hey, thanks for intercepting us and waking us up! Turds!'
there is a video of this, right? it's supposed to come from the Blu-ray PoTA set. (Fixed, didn't know I just had to adjust the settings.) This is a great video, now that I can see it!
Correction, time dilation dictates that Astronauts traveling at 0.99 the speed of light would age some 224.133 days during the 4.35 year trip to Alpha Centauri. As were their earth bound command would age 30.86 years.
@@jeffreykalb9752 Hollywood can never resist the opportunity to get it wrong. However that being said, Planet Of The Apes, & Soylent Green are classics.
The Earth Command would age 4.35 years during the flight and 4.35 years during the return....because the Earth time relative distance is 4 light years of space separation. You are right until you invented the 30+ earth command years. See how easy it is for movies to get messed up with math and logic.
@@STho205 No not really. Space Command would age 'gamma factor' times distance. As where the Cosmonauts would age at a rate of distance, in this case 4.35 light years divided by gamma. Which is determines by the value of 1 divided by the ratio of the square root 1-diminished by velocity squared divided by light squared. Simply stating as velocity of an object approaches the speed of light periodicity from one interval to another decreases for the space bound traveler. Because light does not travel in a straight line the earth-bound observer to the flight would age more than the 4.35 light year distance. Again, in this case gamma factor would be approximately 7.14.
OOPS! Brain freeze, or fog. You are correct about earth bound observers not aging at an accelerated rate. Speed of light has the same value for all observers, regardless of their state of motion, or the state of motion of the source.
Do you have contacts who may be able to assist in making the evidentiary case for a link between the iconic movie franchise and book and the Astrochimps of the late 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s Planet of the Apes book author Pierre Boulle? Documenting such a link would celebrate the Sci-Fi to historical fact. Much appreciated!
This is an training program video that’s an seldom seen extra for the 1968 PotA series, of which could be thought of as an prequel story reel film/PSA video ( probably in the forbidden Zone records)...

This would've been an excellent newsreel-like introduction film to seeing the original POTA!
That certainly would have been a nice intro for the movie.
I so wish they would have kept the original franchise going, although by the time of "Battle for the POTA", the level of sheer cheesiness and the ridiculous cornball factor had become epic. But the edgy, satirical yet tension-filled action and drama of the first film ranks it as a true classic and masterpiece of cinematic art.
@@blaineedwards8078 - Wholeheartedly agree!
@@blaineedwards8078 I love the fact that Rod Serling was involved in the original 68 film - and flipped the world depicted in the book (Pierre Boulle - read it)
Howard R.. truly an amazing effort. Looks like a labor of love.
Can't take credit. On the POTA blu-ray!
Hasslein, I can't believe it was him that program the spacecraft.
@@DanielsArtStudioGamesAnimation Well, he'd had a lot of practice programming Colossus the previous year...
Best movie ever made with an ending never surpassed 👍🙈🙉🙊
Yes!!!!
true...but i did like the ending of 'The Third Man'...where the woman walks past Joseph Cotton
Now I know what the lady astronaut looked like before her life support failed and all we saw was a mummified corpse
I think we saw her in the film, very briefly, at the start. I always thought it really good for the story that they killed her off. Not because womenz cantz z space but because omg we just lost the cherished one. reallly brings out how unforgiving and harsh space travel is.
@@QuizmasterLaw Yeah I agree. Like a reality slap early in the film to add realism.
@@alcoholic2412 You just Know from that point on this is NOT going to be a hopeful happy film about the oh-so wonderful future!
@@QuizmasterLaw right. It was necessary to set the tone
@@Man_of_Tomorrow I wasn't depressed maybe a bit sad but certainly horrified! These were the BEST people! They did everything they could! They did everything right! Yet she STILL died! Lesson? If you do it wrong somehow people DIE! Basically put "the fear of god" in me.
Dr. Anslan was actually a picture of Dr. Charles Corbin (actor Eric Braeden) from Colossus: The Forbin Project.
They and a cosmetics mogul from Wisconsin are bitter bitter rivals.
Or so the urban legends say…
Great movie!
Anslan who is that. If you mean Hasslein then you are right.
It's interesting they used Eric Braeden as that scientist - instead of being made for the original movie, I wonder if this was actually some kind of marketing teaser/short for "Escape from the Planet of the Apes"?
He says, "...these brave space pioneers can never return to the world they knew". This begs the question; why would ANSA have sent Brent and his "skipper" on a mission to find Taylor and his crew?
So that there would be a sequel. The early scripts which focused on Taylor's character were essentially rejected because Charlton Heston only agreed to work a certain number of days. Another issue they had to address for the sequel was the method by which present day astronauts arrive on Earth two thousand years in the future. In the first film, it's time dilation but in the sequel, it's a "time bend" which fortunately sets up the possibility of how Cornelius and Zira manage to return to the 20th Century after Earth's destruction.
@@HerrEllsworth spot on.
Science fiction on screen has to "bend" to contracts and the desires of directors, producers and actors.
Planet of the Apes (original) is one of the only space opera movies that is faithful to the known concepts of physics at the time, only suspending disbelief in imagining a ship with living crew could go almost light speed.
My guess is that to explain it on screen, Taylor's ship must have disappeared from whatever tracking ANSA was using almost immediately, close enough for Hasslien to send it's sister ship on the same course to see what had happened. I have read the theory that somehow Taylor's ship collided with itself (the ship containing Ape-nauts from Escape) and somehow this was detected by ANSA and then again, rescue mission, though in Escape when the ship is found off the California coast, no one was expecting it to be there.
The whole idea of sending astronauts 2000 years into the future "to benefit mankind," makes no sense at all.
1. We have no idea what Earth is like 2000 years in the future. It could be good or bad.
2. Sending astronauts to the Future does not benefit our present timeline in any way.
@@JB-1138Good points. Also, if the humans didnt fuck up everything, those astronauts would be nothing better than outdated peasants.
This make Dodge's fate extremely ironic. An intellectual and professor dying and being put on display as a museum piece
How is that ironic?
@@generalyellor2187 Yeah.... he kinda forgot to say 'why'. It's ironic because Dodge was presented before the mission as a well educated man with twice the intelligence and wisdom of his age, yet in the future he was simply captured like a wild animal and put on display as a primitive sub-species less evolved than the simians.
@@mt9567 I suspect the reason why they chose a black man to play Dodge was because of the character's fate. The general public would have been too terrified at the scene of the taxidermied Dodge had he been a white man. In 1968, black people were still generally perceived as lowly citizens and still treated as such, so a taxidermied black man in the '60s would have been less terrifying for white people to see on the screen.
@@captainozone5393 WRONG. The white friend Landon was also in the museum as was told to Brent in the second film. You are a bit of a racist, but see yourself as enlightened.
Landon's fate was the same as Dodge as was stated in the second film.
Gives me a really positive feeling about the mission; as well as the future of mankind.
Just imagine embarking on that mission and getting overtaken by a later, yet more promising mission from the year 2116, which relays orders to turn back to earth immediately...
Not if the timeline continued, by the late 1990's the apes dominate the world and technology crashes. No other flights anywhere.
It's actually a bit of conundrum, if we get the technology to travel to another star system, likely it would take such a long time that it may be better to wait until we have better technologies, but we may never manage to achieve better tech. So do we go as soon as we can but take a long time getting there and risk the mission being made redundant by a faster ship that overtakes it or wait and risk wasting time?
@@Mewithabeard
In his 'summa technologiae', Stanisław Lem once calculated the energy needed to travel to the next star. He concluded - if I remember this accurately - , that the configuration of such starship would be the ship itself with fuel provisions of the size of the moon...
@@11Kralle Hmm, I wonder what assumptions he was making about energy efficiency. I once read a paper in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society which concluded that, for an antimatter thermal rocket, velocities up to one third light speed could be achieved with a fuel to payload mass of only four to one. That would mean you could go to Alpha Centauri and back in about 26 years with a total fuel mass only 256 times that of the spaceship.
@@odysseusrex5908
Lem certainly did not include anti-matter into his considerations, yet he did mention a lot about the practicabilities of manned space-flight as it was known back in the day. I'd have to re-read the book to give a good answer, since I do not even remember if his concept was to be a multi-generation-ship or a near-light speed flight. If I remember correctly, he deemed the travel impossible without new physics-principles to be discovered and exploited.
The flaw is the plan is that, in 2000 years, we'll be able to get to Proxima C in a minute which means that we'll pass the Liberty ship on the way. 🚀👩🏽🚀🛸👨🏽🚀
How are we getting there in a minute? Have you invented something?
That happens in several sci fi novels. 😊😊
If that was the case, the astronauts would be hailed as ambassadors from the past who gave up everything to get a peek at the future.
Their ship could have contained stored information in their computers of the 20th century that would be of great scientific interest to
the people of the future.
Its also just as possible that Hasslien figured that modern man had a high probability of destroying itself in a nuclear war, or some kind
of societal collapse brought on by a plague,overpopulation, or ecological disaster.
The history of human civilization up to that point, showed that human civilization has gone through cycles of enlightenment, followed
by centuries of barbarism where society has to relearn knowledge.
Hasslien could have figured that Talyor's mission could have met an intelligent civilization in the Alpha Centuari system, and returned to Earth
where that knowledge would have to be used to rebuild human civilization.
@@deadtoadsoup You can't just assume that it will ever be possible to get to exceed the speed of light. So your assumption is not science but science fiction.
@@GizmoMaltese - It's a secret🤫
I have seen this before and really enjoyed it. I keep scanning for something related to apes in the background...a banana? Model of the Statue of Liberty? Hey...Project Liberty!
After the past year of Zoom, am I the only one thinking he had no pants on before he stood up? 🤣
Was thinking same thing
lmao yes just as he stood up.
Me too!!!!😂😂😂
Yes..lol
nah, he did not work for CNN
Very well done! I've always thought though that the Liberty 1 looked like it was part of something bigger. Like it was the "top half' of something larger.
Top half of an Imperial Star Destroyer ?
it was
Watched this on the Big screen, the very week it come out, and when the horse riders turned around and saw the first close up shot of them, the look on every kids face in that theater….simple said….Damn !!!
What did their faces look like when Taylor saw the Statue of Liberty rising up from the beach? I was only 1 when that came out but I can imagine gasps coming from those who knew what it meant. Still one of the most shocking endings to a movie ever.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere the older kids knew and the young kids were asking for an explanation on the way out of the theater…..the word Shit was the new face expression ! ! ! ! 🐵🙈🙉🙊
I didn't see it in theaters I wasn't here until '73, but when those apes were on horseback and were first revealed it traumatized me at 8 years old and the scarecrows had already creeped me out, but I was hooked.
@@pauljoyner4338 as Chuck said, to hell with the scarecrows.
@@billymatthews7346 Boy that turned out to be true. Of course he was talking about water and found apes, but we had to get to them at some point.
DON'T GO TAYLOR "IT'S A MAD HOUSE..A MAD HOUSE!!!
More like what Dr. Zaius told Taylor before he and Nova horseback rode deeper into The Forbidden Zone. Something he should have known before taking the galactic mission to discover a so-called better Earth and leaving the previous one behind him. "Don't look for it Taylor...........you may not like what you'll find."
In the third movie, Escape From Planet of the Apes, Dr. Otto Hasslein is the dude that wanted to kill Cornelius, Zira and their baby (Caesar), and almost did.
I was rooting for him.
@@camarocarl7130 I hated that mother sucker
Yep and he stopped a bullet to the heart for his trouble.
Damn dirty apes!
This has the perfect alternative reality feel to it.
Fantastic video---love the faded quality and occasional skips in the "film" to give it a vintage feel. I believe this was a fan-made project that so impressed the people at Fox that they included it on their Blu-Ray package. There was a big screen presentation of POTA last year. This video would have made a great addition if they had shown it just before the film. Unfortunately, despite its prowess, this video gets one thing wrong. If the objective of the mission had been Alpha Centauri then, at near light speed, the Icarus would have reached it in just over 4.5 years, real time. If they had returned to Earth only nine years or so would have elapsed, not two thousand.
Bender IsGreat, you're forgetting the relativisitic effects of lightspeed (or near light) travel. 9 years for our astronauts true; but on Earth, two thousand years would have gone by as we are not traveling at lightspped but are only observing. Maybe a little confusing but this is stated in the movie and is consistent with Einstein's Theory of Relativity (which have been proven out by scientific observation).
@@bmorsette Actually, I'm taking it into effect. Astronauts going to Alpha Centauri would barely age but nine years would pass once they got back to Earth. Now, if they had departed for a star in the constellation Orion (not necessarily Bellatrix) then any number of years could have passed while they were at light speed. Of course, they had to change this "near-light" concept for the sequel.
@Gregory Dahl Still - 4.5 lightyears at close to lightspeed only takes a little more than 4.5 years. At 50% lightspeed the journey would take 9 "earth years" and due to time dilation the passengers would only age 3.8 years. At 99% lightspeed it would only be about 8 months for the passengers, so hyper sleep would hardly be necessary.
@Gregory Dahl Did you even read my reply? I even gave you a 50% example! The premis of the movie was "near lightspeed", which in my book requires more than 50%. But just for the sake of argument, let's say 10% then. It would still only be a 90 year roundtrip from earth perspective and about 89.5 years from the crews perspective. That's nowhere near 2000 years.
@@bmorsette Probably why the movie rightly fits in the category of Science FICTION.
Amazing movie. I loved it when the bass started thumping and Charleton Heston got his groove on with that chimpanzee. Almost as shocking as when captain Kirk kissed the gorilla on the Enterprise. Landmark moments in TV history.👍
Nice piece of work. Fun to watch too. Thanks for putting this together.
Loved how there was a glitch in the film at Brent’s first name. As we never learned that in BTPOTA.
Love these old government films, lucky you found it!😉👍👍
Even today the planet of the apes in my opinion, is still one of the best and most thought compelling sci fi movies! Not in the sense of Apes taking over, but what indeed what would come after us after we had either destroyed ourselves or been wiped out by a truly deadly virus! Ot as the great George Carlin once said “the earth isn’t going anywhere……we are”
When you think of sci-fi movies Planet of the Apes is often forgotten. It's because most of the movie takes place in a setting without technology. But it is a true sci-fi movie. What's great about it is that it explores hate and racism. Seeing the apes assuming that the White astronaught is an idiot who can't speak touches on how Europeans looked at Africans in the early colonial period. And the apes have a sense of ape supremacy. They're so threatened by the possibility that they are not superior. It's a fascinating movie.
Wait what ? 2000 years of time dilation while travelling at near-lightspeed to a star... 4 light-years away ??
BUT the prob was he didnt go that way, he got sent into a time warp
@Gregory Dahl When I was a teen, I read the original book, Pierre Boulé's "La Planète des Singes". It's explained that once a ship reaches very-near-lightspeed, time dilation is so important that going to a star system very far away doesn't take that much more time than to a nearby star. You just keep coasting for a few more minutes, hours, days, whatever (ship time) - it's accelerating and decelerating that take the longest, about one year either way. In the book, our closest stellar neighbours had all been observed and deemed to be devoid of life. so the mission planners decided to send the ship to a star 60 light-years away (if memory serves), that had a better chance of being more interesting. But a malfunction in the navigation system causes a delay in the deceleration phase of the flight and they travel some 2000 light-years. Both in the book and the movie, it's never clearly explained how the crew happened to return to Earth rather than just end up at some random planet 2k LY's' away. Oh and there was no hibernation involved, the ship's enormous speed made that useless.
@@chialeux514
actuallt they do the hesslin curve , was some anomolly proposed by dr hesslin that might see there trajectory curve back on itself like a loop so "hesslin curve" bs jargon was born...
and its actually said in only a few times but not even talked much about till later movies
According to the laws of physics, all of this is explained if you just dig a little further. I do not have the time or desire to explain it here, but I have written several papers and a post doctorate thesis on the subject. -Dr. David James

Do you Milkie?
@@STho205
You don't - apparently.
@@totalmikie I just asked if you did. Do you?
Sure the joke film has a mistake...but that doesn't mean you picked the right mistake.
@@STho205 Mistakes... Well, even when the film came out, it was obviously not what I would term good science fiction. The space mission made little sense (Implied colonization with three men and one woman OR exploration on a time scale that made the mission a one way trip into the future). The concept of apes becoming essentially hairy men in a few thousand years and the business of Taylor not realizing that the Earthlike planet with familiar vegetation and hairy hominids speaking English must be Earth, pretty much remove any serious SF. But, as an episode of The Twilight Zone writ large, it was and is excellent.
The ANSA building in the begining is actually a bank building in Albuquerque New Mexico I live behind it! First National Bank! But Wells Fargo has it now!😎🦖
Are you saying the ANSA flight was faked?
This was cool and a special treat all these years later and never knowing of it.
I imagine if I set out to build a spaceship it would come out looking like the one in the newsreel.
Otto Hasslein is the main antagonist of the series...despite trying to save the world in the 3rd movie.
Yes, and interestingly, Dr. Zaius - the other primary antagonist of the series - also was trying to save the world in the 1st movie from "the beast Man...the Devil's pawn".

Victor Newman on the Young and the Restless. It amazing how they got started.
@@kennethdemuchest5171 Eric Braeden was in Colossus: The Forbin Project. He also starred in The Rat Patrol, a WW2 TV series in the mid 1960s, but he was Hans Gundergast then.
One issue in the movie ' Planet of the apes' that didn't make sense was Charlton Heston saying the female astronaut was to be the 'EVE' as in Adam & Eve for breeding/population issue with new world. If this was to really occur/happen the gender ratio would be reversed with 1 male & 3 female astronauts.
That and the ape civilisation speaking perfect English which might, to any competent mind, be a hint that the planet is Earth.
@@Lensman864I thought it was coincidence! lol
Nice. But why cant the astronauts shag the monkey ladies? That seems a bit racist.😡
Excellently done 👍 Especially making use of all those promo photographs for the movie.
Aww, that's awesome! I had no idea that this was kicking around. I never saw this on any of the special features. Even with the making of the Planet of the Apes, this segment was not shown. Thanks for this, much appreciated! It adds to the flavour of this wonderful film. Cheers!
Reporter: "what happens if it crashes??"
ANSA: "hey shut up"
'Slicing through space!' LOL!
This is awesome.
Dang, I was hoping to see more diagrams of the spacecraft and its stages
Yes, what we saw was too small to be the main ship, perhaps capsule or exploration vessel from the main ship. There's not enough space for food, water, life support etc. In the book there were 3 exploration vehicles while the main ship remained in orbit
THIS IS SO COOL! i LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I like the very retro look of the video…..extremely well done!!!!
I never knew this existed, sure glad I stumbled on this as I am I huge fan.
I love how Maddox and Brent from Beneath and Hasslein from Escape is mentioned
Wow! Some unseen footage and backstory to Planet of the Apes. Very cool.
I vaguely remember this for some reason !!! great to see it on you tube!!!
It's amazing that those four heroes will not return for 2000 years.
I hope they get to read this when they return.
Bon voyage, Project Liberty!
That lovely lieutenant Stewart, the new Eve...with our hot and eager help 😍
Captain Deitrich (Rat Patrol) changed his name and became a scientist after WW2.
It always annoyed me that they killed off Stewart right at the beginning of the movie.
Yes but they redeemed themselves with Nova.
Dr. Hasslien found a new career as the star of The Young and The Restless 🎉
He was great in the Forbin Project.

OMG! Who made this? I always loved the science behind the original planet of the apes. It's barely hinted at throughout the four films; the 3rd film w/ Eric Braden as the evil Dr Heslein (but first mentioned by Taylor in the first film) talks the most about the missions. The Ape films timeline is another area of the films I loved. Clearly, this was a universe where Nasa didn't exist and different American space agency (ANSA) did and was clearly more advance. I loved the use of the project names "Lady Liberty" that was very clever! Great use of rarely seen production photos (never seen the actress who played Steward clearly). Wonderful job!

There was a great sci-fi novel i read similar to the POTA plot. Crew embarks in hypersleep for a 1000 year journey. Only to arrive at their destination to be greeted as heroes by earth people that advanced scientifically during that time, passed them in modern ships and colonised the planet they were heading to well in advance of the mission.

Correction, time dilation dictates that Astronauts traveling at 0.99 the speed of light would age some 224.133 days during the 4.35 year trip to Alpha Centauri. As were their earth bound command would age 30.86 years.
Yeah. I don't get it. It wasn't like they couldn't do the calculations. And they at least could have credited Einstein and Lorentz.
@@jeffreykalb9752 Hollywood can never resist the opportunity to get it wrong. However that being said, Planet Of The Apes, & Soylent Green are classics.
The Earth Command would age 4.35 years during the flight and 4.35 years during the return....because the Earth time relative distance is 4 light years of space separation.
You are right until you invented the 30+ earth command years. See how easy it is for movies to get messed up with math and logic.
@@STho205 No not really. Space Command would age 'gamma factor' times distance. As where the Cosmonauts would age at a rate of distance, in this case 4.35 light years divided by gamma. Which is determines by the value of 1 divided by the ratio of the square root 1-diminished by velocity squared divided by light squared. Simply stating as velocity of an object approaches the speed of light periodicity from one interval to another decreases for the space bound traveler. Because light does not travel in a straight line the earth-bound observer to the flight would age more than the 4.35 light year distance. Again, in this case gamma factor would be approximately 7.14.
OOPS! Brain freeze, or fog. You are correct about earth bound observers not aging at an accelerated rate. Speed of light has the same value for all observers, regardless of their state of motion, or the state of motion of the source.
This should have been the intro to the movie!
Do you have contacts who may be able to assist in making the evidentiary case for a link between the iconic movie franchise and book and the Astrochimps of the late 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s Planet of the Apes book author Pierre Boulle? Documenting such a link would celebrate the Sci-Fi to historical fact. Much appreciated!
I'm sure it'll all work out. After all somewhere out there there has to be something better than man...has to be!
Be careful what you wish for 😜?
