Boy that reverse time travel is a bit exhausting as you have to put your memories in a reverse order and then start putting together your thoughts about the film. But with this one this isn't so difficult as as it is for the two thirds of the film a copy of the original, with only the third part be an interesting, yet weird idea.
In general after the massive success was the Planet of the Apes, the studios rushed in order to capitalize to this new trend (seem familiar, we see that even nowadays). In general the film does the minimum best in order to be differed by the 1968 flick and in all honest fells quit generic. James Franciscus does his best ,but he has no room and lacks the charisma of Charlton Heston and when Heston is himself in the screen he does a good job ,but he obviously wants to be somewhere else.
It is common knowledge that he asked the director to kill off his character in order to get out of the studios control and I have to say the manner that he manage that is so big that if all when according to his wishes this would the final Planet of the Apes film, but a good cash cow is necessary for the industry and we got another three sequel, a re-imagining (#Iwanttovomit) and a reboot trilogy.
In conclusion the only reason to watch this film is if you do a marathon of the movies of this franchises, but if you are a casual person who likes films, skip it.
