Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)

Movie Reviews (part 8) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: It may not be a logic action that the Apes would take a shuttle and travel back in time, but at least it manage to make sense after the ending of film 2. The apes become the heroes. Much humor. The Downs: Poor Zira. She believed so in man and this is what became your destiny? "

“Recently, every evening, Nick, my step-son, asked me when we will watch the Planet of Apes again. He is pretty hooked and, especially this time, I was sharing his enthusiasm. Indeed, at the end of the previous installment, Charlton Heston himself launched a doomsday bomb destroying Earth. Heston thought he managed to put an end to the sequels but the producers obviously outsmarted him. So, how did they do it? Time travel of course! Indeed, if Taylor and Brent managed to go in the future, why not send a few apes back in time? It was a pretty neat idea and something really different from the two previous installments even if you miss the whole Ape civi” read more

"2/16/13 Rewatch This is the film that takes a twist as Cornelius, Zira and Milo travel back in time in Taylor's salvaged spaceship and they ride the shockwave of Earth's destruction back through the time warp into the past. It stars a returning Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter, as well as, Sal Mineo, Ricardo Montalban, and Bradford Dillman.

"3.3.12. DVD Tämä kolmas osa olikin sitten jo varsin huono, vaikka muistankin juuri tämän osan lapsuudestani.

"Pelleilyksi heitetyn juonen vakavoituessa loppua kohti alkaa leffakin kiinnostamaan aivan toisella tavalla, muttei silti onnistu tarjoamaan mitään järin uutta, mieleenpainuvaa tai erikoista. Tuttua Apinoiden planeetta huttua siis jälleen."
