Review of Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) by R96Sk — 26 Feb 2022
A very good sequel.
'Escape from the Planet of the Apes' is a clear improvement on (the good) 'Beneath the Planet of the Apes' and isn't that far adrift from the 1968 original. The plot is out there but they make it believable, while the ending is quite something - unexpectedly so!
Neat to see Roddy McDowall return to his role from 'Planet of the Apes', while co-star Kim Hunter continues once again. I like those two characters so enjoyed seeing them become 'the stars' of this third release of the franchise.
Onwards to 'Conquest of the Planet of the Apes'.
