Reviews
Former actor Don Taylor directs smoothly and efficiently and elicits fine performances from the cast.
Escape from the Planet of the Apes is an excellent film, almost as good as the original Planet of the Apes.
Passable entertainment, but it's no fun watching the likable, witty Cornelius and Zira become hairy martyrs.
One of the better new movies in town, and better in a genre -- science-fiction -- that at the crucial middle level where the history of movies is made, if not written, has recently been not so much bad as invisible.
Possibly the least of the series, but certainly not a predictable sequel.
feels like a quickie insert that is needed to progress the larger narrative, but doesn't have enough meat on it to deserve its own film
