Review of Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) by David B — 30 Sep 2011
This is okay, not great, but not bad either, certainly it has a lot of problems. I can't think why they'd bring the mutants back, they were stupid in the second film and they're kinda stupid here, but at least they're not telepathic here.
The subplot with the Gorillas is much more interesting, but sadly the conclusion to that feels somewhat lacking. Also this film confirms that the future has been changed by Cornelius and Zira coming to our time as by the end Apes and Humans live in harmony, which to me suggests that the events of the first film now can't happen.
