Leave your thoughts about Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
| Alexander On FilmChris AlexanderIt's a mean, oppressive film that feels exhaustively claustrophobic, its action centered on a sterile city block and scattered, computer-soaked offices and labs. |
| Zaki's CornerZaki HasanThe darkest and most violent chapter in a series that had fairly distinguished itself already with its dark subject matter and disturbing imagery. |
| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniThe Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth in this series of movies that began with Planet of the Apes and it also is the least of them. |
| About.comFred TopelThe best of the series. Apes in modern day (well, modern for then). Like all great sci-fi, has moral implications. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitThe film still allows enough hope to compel me to watch the final chapter, and it's not so bad that I'm turned off all the ape sequels. |
| New York TimesHoward ThompsonIt's not bad, as apes and 20th Century-Fox go, at least hand in hand. |
| BBC.comTom CoatesIf you are ready to thrill to the fall of civilisation (for the third time in this series), then there are worse ways to spend an afternoon. Just don't expect much humour. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergProof that mediocre sequels are hardly a new sensantion. |
| EmpireSam ToyWringing the last drops out of the idea, it strains to stay on-side, but it remains true enough to the spirit of the series to get it over the line. |
| User ReviewPetros TI only saw the unrated cut, not the censored cut. But this film is really good and I like how it directly moves to the forefront the discrimination under-tones of the previous films. It's a great compelling film, and I think Roddy McDowell''s performance as Caesar is as good as Andy Serkis's Caesar here, despite of the technological limitations of a mask compared to a motion capture suit. Also I like how bloody and brutal the war goes. And it's message about how war only creates more war. |
