Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Beneath the planet of the apes is discovered an older civilisation: a tribe of mutant humans living in the ruins of New York and now maniacally worshipping an atom bomb. This first sequel to Planet of the Apes isn't bad, but already shows the way the original conception was to degenerate into routine comic strip adventure.Author: TM
