Bonanza - The Ape / Blood Line DVD

Advantages: All in opinion
Disadvantages: All in opinion

...The battle of Calima towards the end of the movie is the battle of freedom – as humans prepare to take on the apes. General Thade leads the attack as his troops line up and prepare for battle. This scene is the ultimate battle – apes versus humans – its full of action and it is the first time in the movie we see thousands of apes clustered together in any given scene. There is one more twist to the movie - but I won`t give that one away. Bottom Line : ************* Don`t let anyone tell you this movie is not worth watching – It is a very good movie and well worth watching.

The film is not boring at all – A wide selection of human/ape characters, the storyline... Read review

Advantages: Good Acting and Comedic Moments

The film starts on the space ship and the main character goes after his monkey and somehow gets sucked through a black hole and ends up on a weird planet, sort of a middle age world but full of apes, who all speak in American accents, except those played by English people.The film makers obviously missed out this point along the way.The basic plot of the film is how a nice ape helps him to escape alone with some other humans, all the apes follow them,biding for blood.At the end he finds his space ship which is apparently thousands of years old.So he went forward in time,when he went through the blackhole...
