If you loved Beneath the Planet of the Apes, try Star Trek: The Motion Picture
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Mystery / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Beneath the Planet of the Apes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Star Trek: The Motion Picture is
San Francisco, a foggy morning, the hum of a Starfleet console. A massive alien entity threatens Earth, the refurbished Enterprise readies for launch, its crew reunites. Robert Wise brings a stately pace to the franchise's big-screen debut.
