It was a quiet, peaceful city. It was a city ruled by apes and served by men. It was a city unaware of an angry band of vicious gorillas anxious to revolt and an insane cadre of mutated humans hungry to kill. It was a city on the brink of an horrendous destruction that had happened once--and was suddenly, inexorably, happening again.

Better than the movie...,
By
This review is from: Battle for the Planet of the Apes (Mass Market Paperback)
David Gerrold (he of Star Trek "Trouble With Tribbles" fame) takes the worst "Planet of the Apes" movie and turns it into a passable, enjoyable novelization. Though it has a light page count, this book doesn't suffer from the paltry budget the filmmakers labored under, so it comes across as a bit more powerful than the film. Gerrold also manages to give the apes, humans and mutants who make up the cast believable inner lives. Even Aldo, the brutal, villianous gorilla general, has motivation. Gerrold's descriptions of the ruined New York, and the marauding mutant army paint mental pictures much grander than what you'll see on the screen if you dare watch the movie. Plus, the novel contains a few deleted scenes that broaden the action's scope and provide context for the earlier films. If you're a "Planet of the Apes" fan, it's well worth your while to hunt down a copy. If you're not, check it out anyway, and enjoy an oddball bit of pop culture.

This review is from: Battle for the Planet of the Apes (Mass Market Paperback)
Black ape, brown ape, naked ape.
Or, a series that went on a bit too long here, really, and Gerrold did his best with what he had to work with - which in this case was not a lot. Or the nice guy chimps et. al. get to come into conflict with mutants and gorillas. Actually doesn't sound too bad when you put it that when, in the good old cheesy sense, does it? Not as fun as it sounds, though.
