Review Summaries
"3rd installment in the popular apes trilogy, finds Cornelius and Zira (McDowall & Hunter), two apes from the future, who go back in time to present day to avoid nuclear annihilation, being greeted by humans in L.A. But as story continues, their future is uncovered and it is decided to not let the female have any children, so that ultimately, apes won't take over the world. A fun wry episode all up 'til the end. One of the most original installments! Followed by Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes."
Alan, Resident Planet of the Apes Scholar
