About This Movie

Time of the Apes has a certain charm, you know? It’s a TV movie from '87 that dives into a future where primates rule and the atmosphere feels both eerie and curious. The plot revolves around a female scientist and two kids who get dropped into this strange world. It’s not a polished gem or anything, but it has a unique pacing that gives it a kind of endearing quality. The practical effects are worth noting - they’re a mix of creativity and resourcefulness typical of the era. The performances can be a bit on the wooden side, but they fit the offbeat tone. It’s definitely distinctive, with its blend of sci-fi and family adventure that’s worth pondering over.
