Review of Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) by Rosvel S — 21 Sep 2017

After the rather drastic finale of the first sequel, the "Planet of the Apes" franchise avoids the dead end by setting "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" in 1973. This time the talking apes are the visitors to the human society: it plays like an - interesting - reverse version of the classic first film, only more humorous (for the biggest part), but also, just like the first sequel, cheaper and a lot less weighty from a philosophical aspect.
