Escape From the Planet of the Apes Reviews
It is efficiently directed by Don Taylor and sanely scripted by Paul Dehn.

it isn't really up to standard.

The film is likeable as well as amusing; it even has a note of pathos, something alien from its predecessors.

Rather splendid, rather encouraging.

Escape 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.

...a story that retains its cynical, hard-edged hallmarks while also packing in a considerable amount of pathos.

Easily the strangest film in the series, and a good candidate for the strangest studio-made genre film of the 1970s.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 19, 2017
Former actor Don Taylor directs smoothly and efficiently and elicits fine performances from the cast.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 4, 2007
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.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 9, 2007
It's a long way down from even the second in the series.

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.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 10, 2005
The last of the "Ape" sequels that's worth watching.

Possibly the least of the series, but certainly not a predictable sequel.
