Review Summary
The austronaut Brent is sent on a rescue mission to rescue the austronaut Taylor. When he crashlands on this unknown planet, he finds many things beyond belief. As he searches for Taylor, he gets wound up in the Battle between the Apes and the Mutants, and it all boils down to a very climatic ending involving the destruction of a god.
Joe, Resident Scholar

Follow up to Planet Of The Apes, finds another astronaut (Franciscus) searching for previous astronaut crew. Not as inspiring as original but still a good effort. Would've been nice if Charlton Heston could've been in more of the movie. Followed by Escape From The Planet Of The Apes.
Alan, Resident Scholar
