5.0 out of 5 starsGreat finale to a great franchise!!!
By K. J. Greenland on 1 Sept. 2012
Format: DVD
Why 5 stars you may ask? Well 5 stars mean 'I love it' and I do despite it's many flaws!

Nuclear war has devested the planet just after the fourth film 'Conquest of the Planet of the Apes' and Caesar leads a small community of apes and humans. He discovers that recordings of his dead parents Cornelius and Zira should lay in the forbidden city, destroyed by the war. However, living in the city are radiated humans, who see Caesar's visit as an act of war and retaliate, leaving Caesar to fight a war on two fronts, the other at home!!!

Although the weakest of the five original films, it's still great entertainment. The wonderfully comic script-writing in the armament scene with Mandemus is worthy of note.

It has many flaws though; the budget was the lowest of the five original films and it shows; there's not much breadth or scope to the later invasion scenes amongst others. At times the script can be a little pretentious. The post-apocalyptic weather and the fact that the forbidden city just suddenly rises out of the desert is a little unrealistic. You may also ask yourself why haven't the radiated humans left the forbidden city sooner for greener pastures while it doesn't seem a coincidence that just when Governor Kolp of the forbidden city announces his boredom of the status quo, Caesar arrives!

3.0 out of 5 starsA reasonable way to wrap it all up, shame about the low budget
By Stuart Bruce TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 10 Oct. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Sequels to big movies are supposed to get gradually worse than the original. However in my opinion "Escape From The Planet Of The Apes" (the 3rd film) is the low point, and the 4th and 5th films both do a very good job of bringing the Planet Of The Apes saga round full-circle.

The whole timeline of Planet Of The Apes is circular, so in practice this means that the events in this film happen after films 3 and 4, but before films 1 and 2. It's a clever science fiction loop, but perhaps one that would work better as a novel than as the premise for a film, especially because you already know how events are going to unfold, more or less (although there are some interesting "can the history be re-written?" questions that could have been more emphasised).

Weak points in this film: the much lower budget is very evident, it feels once again more like a TV movie with unusually good costumes rather than a full-budget feature film. The actor Severn Darden is basically in the wrong film, playing a cringeworthy camp pantomime villain who doesn't really advance the plot in any way.

Overall it does stand up as a film, and if you've got this far with Planet Of The Apes, you might as well finish it off.

2.0 out of 5 starsIn the beginning God created beast and man so that both might live in friendship and share dominion over a world of peace.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 19 Jan. 2014
Format: DVD
The Planet of the Apes film franchise closes down with a whimper as budget restrictions, general screenplay lethargy and contempt of familiarity swamps the production. Plot finds the apes and humans trying to live in harmony, but find their efforts stymied by a tribe of mutant humans living in the nuked underworld and a power-hungry gorilla general.

What follows is a film that sees various simian and human species throw exposition at each other in the vain belief it's literately smart. When the action comes it's half hearted and perpetrated by the least amount of actors possible. The make-up is shoddy, the fun element gone, while the acting is very uneven across the board. There's enough value in the various characterisations to at least keep fans of the series interested, and the photography belies the cheapness evident elsewhere, but really it's a sad closure to what had been a smartly entertaining franchise. 4/10

1.0 out of 5 starsThe 'Return of the Jedi' of the Apes films - very disappointing
By A Customer on 9 Jan. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
The previous 'Conquest' film was, I felt a real up-swing in quality and entertainment after the light-hearted and implausible 'Escape'. It seemed to be getting the series back on track.

However, 'Battle' is a dreadful let-down. The low budget of 'Conquest' was used extremely creatively but here the budget truly shows. Initially, for the first 20 minutes or so I was actually pleasantly surprised despite the small scale of everything. McDowell is excellent as ever and the journey to the city was fascinating with good design and set building. But...

Sadly it all became unconvincingly 'small-scale' with a tiny shoot-out between a few baddies and a few apes to wrap things up. Not a battle for the planet, but for a field. The 'Ape City' is basically a few inconsequential treehouses. It almost makes me forgive Tim Burton for his small village of the apes surrounded by an entire empty planet.

You'd be best to avoid this as it's a disappointing downer on what came before, much like 'Return of the Jedi' was. You're left with your jaw hanging in disbelief at what you've just sat through; wondering why the studio wouldn't put up the cash to do it properly.

2.0 out of 5 starsBuy the boxed set
By S J Buck TOP 500 REVIEWER on 27 Jan. 2009
Format: DVD
This is the fifth in the series of POTA films. Although Roddy McDowell retains a starring role and there is a minor role for John Huston overall it really is pretty poor.

The budget for this movie was clearly much less than the first two films. This and the lack of an original story are probably the main reasons for its failure. The 'battle' for the planet, it turns out takes place in a moderately sized field between a few dozen humans and a few dozen apes.

In itself the acting was OK but in places the script did nobody any favours and I struggled to retain any sort of interest after the first 1/2 hour. Fortunately it is only a short film (83mins) so if you do decide to buy it your suffering will be mercifully short.

I'd recommend buying the boxed set which contains all the films and an excellent documentary. This represents far better value for money.
