"**A picture of the artist painting a picture of the artist painting a picture of the artist painting a picture of the artist painting a landscape.** Indeed. Talk, talk and some more talk. Then they all decide to talk some more - taking a break for a little more talking - before finally deciding on talking just a little while longer. These actors must have had sore tongues after the film was completed. Some of them hospitalised with repetitive strain on the jawbone. A very talky film which could indeed lose the interest of younger viewers. Younger viewers don't want to see old men blabbering for 90 minutes - they want gorillas with machine guns. Lots of scenes of people with tobacco stained grey hair talking around 1970's tables and not much action here. Not enough psycho gorilla action. The three chimps should have brought at least one maniac gorilla with them for security reasons. If there weren't enough seats in the ship then I am certain he wouldn't mind standing. Perhaps they feared that once they arrived and they opened the ships hatch on the beach - everything from turtles, whelks and Brian Wilson's surf board would have been riddled with bullets. - Potential Kermode"

"A very good sequel. <em>'Escape from the Planet of the Apes'</em> is a clear improvement on (the good) <em>'Beneath the Planet of the Apes'</em> and isn't that far adrift from the 1968 original. The plot is out there but they make it believable, while the ending is quite something - unexpectedly so! Neat to see Roddy McDowall return to his role from <em>'Planet of the Apes'</em>, while co-star Kim Hunter continues once again. I like those two characters so enjoyed seeing them become 'the stars' of this third release of the franchise. Onwards to <em>'Conquest of the Planet of the Apes'</em>."
