Review of Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) by Conner R — 11 Sep 2010
After Beneath of the Planet of the Apes, it's hard to imagine a sequel could be possible. This really challenges and in turn strengthens the concepts dealt with in the previous movies. This has better costuming and effects, more on the same feel of the first.
Even though we are not shown the extremely interesting Ape world this time around, the story and characters are so interesting that it is not even a problem. It becomes more of an obvious social commentary than the original and shows the tragedy and plight of man.
It's always a question if Cornelius, Zira and Milo were meant to crash-land on earth or was their presence a time altering event. Is it possible for them to change the inevitable destruction of all?
