diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 10 Um final decepcionante para a série original de filmes Planeta dos Macacos. Algumas ideias interessantes, mas executadas de forma tediosa. See more Brighton N @RT09904023 May 30 This is one of the weirdest sequels I have ever watched, as I have almost no strong emotions regarding it. I don't hate it or love it, as I'm glad it exists to finish the saga, but I can't say I lean positive on a movie that finishes the saga in a lowest-common-denominator kind of way. I only recommend this because, well, it'd be rather silly to not finish off the series, wouldn't it?

There's a power struggle between chimp and gorilla that slow boils its way to the forefront for the first hour, then an underwhelming "battle" in the last half hour. The performances are fine, but it just kind of feels like a footnote in the saga of the whole story, like "one day there was a brief skirmish, but everything was fine." There's nothing to hate on here, but it's sad to see the series limp its way to the finish line like this. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 13 All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more Jace T @CineChamber Sep 28 Battle for the Planet of the Apes is just a very middle of the road, nothing special to see here movie in general, and really caps out the Planet of the Apes original franchise series on a dull and unfortunate note. It really is just trying to recreate a lot of the first film, but in a lesser way all the way around. See more Jacob B @RT89309114 Aug 2 The weakest of the original Planet of the Apes film series, if not the entire franchise? Yeah, probably. An outright cinematic travesty? I dunno, this film doesn't really do anything outstandingly bad. It's not good but it's hardly on the same level as The Room. The actors all do a good job, the orangutan is a likeable character, the titular battle is alright and I do like the attempts to align this film with the earlier installments, implying a stable time loop. Too bad the movie looks cheap, the pacing feels oddly slow for such a short film and there isn't much focus on social commentary this time around in favour of trying to appeal to a younger audience. To be fair, it's not as juvenile as you might expect but it does have a lighter vibe that makes certain scenes feel out-of-place rather than shocking. And much like what happened with Conquest, the rebooted film series would do a substantially better job dealing with these ideas, compared to how this film suddenly shifts to post-apocalyptic territory without any natural transition thanks to budget cuts. While the POTA films set in the original continuity ended on a bit of a whimper with this film, it's hardly the worst example of dropping the ball and would honestly comes off as unremarkable were it not for the issue that other, more well-received movies exist in the form of the first and third films plus the reboot era, which draws heavily from the fourth amd fifth films, improving upon their source material, making them look even more primitive by comparison. At least this one tried to be more optimistic seeing how it was meant to be the final chapter, a then-upcoming TV show notwithstanding...which I've heard is the true culprit for how this film turned out. This was a glorified pilot episode all along! See more Read all reviews
