Review of Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) by Michael G — 15 Dec 2008
Escape From the Planet of the Apes doesn't even touch the original Planet of the Apes but beats the hell out of Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It basically reverses the roles from the original taking the series in a whole new direction.
The premise is kind of interesting but the ending is depressing as hell and severs all ties with the original. Escape... is kind of gimmicky and really fizzles out toward the end, but the sad thing is the series won't get this good again.
