Battle For the Planet of the Apes

Actors:  Roddy McDowell, Natalie Trundy, Claude Akins, Paul Williams, Severn Darden
Rating:  6 out of 10, The final movie in my foray into the early Apes movies which points out eloquently why this series died out with this movie.  McDowell continues to shine but the plot and staging are exactly like an hourly TV show not a movie.  The battle with the scarred human remnants was laughably bad as was Akins’ Aldo the gorilla villain.  They could have done a lot with this, but chose to mail it in and it shows.
MVP:  McDowell as Caesar the only talking ape
