Battle for Planet of
the Apes (1973)
Directed by J. Lee
Thompson this 5th installment in the popular film series
stars Roddy McDowall, Claude Akins, Paul Williams and Austin Stoker.
After a nuclear war ape and man try to build a new peaceful society
together.
There are some
attempts at interesting themes in this film but ultimately the script
is a rather weak effort that leaves too many things unexplained. The
plot does not really go anywhere and it is easy to see that by this
point the series was running out of ideas. Bringing in someone like
John Huston for a cameo role seems fairly pointless when you are
going to cover him in make up so that you can not tell who he is.
2/5
