Review of Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) by Daryl K — 09 Jul 2014
The series was out of steam, budget and ideas by this point. Paul Williams' performance as the orangoutang "Virgil" is the only spark of life in this cheap, dreary and embarrassing last gasp of the original Apes franchise.
John Huston's gravitas is wasted in a pointless wraparound device that is clearly aimed to teach young audiences something about peaceful coexistence *yawn*.
