I've never watched the short-lived '70s TV series of PLANET OF THE APES that they made, but on the strength of this, I'm glad I didn't bother. LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT ON THE PLANET OF THE APES is a crummy title for a crummy TV movie, one that's stitched together two random episodes of the TV show in a bid to make more cash for the money-grubbing producers.
The two episodes have nothing in common, making this disjointed. It's also extremely boring. The quality of the writing is very poor, the characters are dull, and both episodes seem to be completely sub-standard in every respect. There's no intrigue here, no action, no suspense, just bored cast members working at a strictly amateur level. It's just awful.
