Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Keith PhippsEscape From The Planet Of The Apes gets the series back on track, sending three apes back to the 20th century for a story that begins comically and ends in fear and loathing.
Sci-Fi Movie Page - 8/10 by James O'EhleyRegarded by some as the best of the Planet of the Apes sequels, maybe even on a par with the 1968 Charlton Heston original itself, this third Apes movie breathes fresh air into [the] series.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Roger GreenspunNobody is going to believe it, but I must say anyway that Don Taylor's Escape From the Planet of the Apes is 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.
IGN - 8/10 by Chris TillyMcDowell is as good as ever here – this time playing Cornelius – while Kim Hunter is hugely sympathetic as Zira.
Zaki's Corner - 7/10 by Zaki Hasan...a story that retains its cynical, hard-edged hallmarks while also packing in a considerable amount of pathos.
Cleveland Press - 7/10 by Tony MastroianniEscape looks more like a made-for television movie than anything else. The first half, in fact, might pass for a situation comedy in which people are amused at apes who act like humans.
Old School Reviews - 7/10 by John A. NesbitThis second sequel serves as little more than a light appetizer with a memorable and poignant ending.
DVDLaser - 7/10 by Douglas Prattthe film is a highly satisfying mix of satire and suspense
Alternate Ending - 7/10 by Tim BraytonEasily the strangest film in the series, and a good candidate for the strangest studio-made genre film of the 1970s.
BBC.com - 6/10 by Tom CoatesIt works fairly well as the central movie of the franchise but will have little to offer non-devotees.
