Review of Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) by Philip L — 30 Jun 2014
A battle for really needs more than bad acting and an army of mutants armed with a jeep and an old school bus. This just seems a desperate attempt to squeeze out a sequel too far. The world has supposed to have had an apocalypse since 'Conquest' but the trees remain.
Humans talk and it all seems so small scale compared to the others. The happy ending (yeah I know the statue bleeds blood to imply otherwise) just doesn't fit and there is no neat full circle.
