More character-focused, setting up the time loop of the original series
Way better than the previous one : more humorous and romance-centered but surprisingly relevant
Better than the second but doesn’t live up to the first. Still has some good moments and is quite enjoyable
Decent twist on the Planet of the Apes concept. Was well executed. Did have some very cheesy moments, but on the whole it's good.
The first two were very timeless movies. This one is distinctly 70's.
Ok sci-fi action thriller, worth a watch
Series tan it’s course after the first ot for a lack of trying though
Great makeup and costumes for the times
The best of the sequels. It dares to be different. Yet still is movies the franchise forward
I feel like this stands on its own almost adjacent to the rest of the films. Its not a good or bad change of pace but it's a big one.
