Review of Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) by Mark M — 27 Sep 2014
The second sequel and in a sense reboot to the acclaimed series of films Planet of the Apes focuses on Cornelius and Zira as they crashland on Taylor's Earth on the 1970's after escaping the explosion of the Earth of the future, to initially find shock and a certain amount of celebrity before as their cultures history starts to be revealed to the US government including their treatment of humans and the eventual destruction, fear and paranoia soon take over as well as the conversation as to whether it is humaine to abort that possible future.
The series continues to hit some pretty heady issues for the time and continue to be considered classics of the period.
