Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)

 


Excellent Entry!
 Fabulous sequel - excellent entry into the series! Here we have the reversal: the apes, Zira and Cornelius, who have successfully escaped from the Planet of the Apes; though they don't know how they ended up on Earth many years prior to their own births. Zira is carrying their child!

The film start out light-hearted and comical at times but takes a much darker turn as the film progresses forward. I won't say what happens but the ending tore my heart out.

This is one of the best movies of the series -  I like this one as much as the first film though I did like the second film of the series.

Definitely recommended viewing for film buffs!

10/10
