      Battle looks like the last gap of a dying series, a movie made simply to wring the dollars out of any remaining ape fans.

      It’s hard to get the same feeling of awe and epic scale that the series’ best installments can offer when you’re essentially watching ten guys squabble in a forest.

      The A.V. Club

      The bloodiest of the Apes films, and one of the most despairing.

      Empire

      Largely devoid of any charm or intelligence that made other Apes films entertaining, this one should be buried in the Forbidden Zone.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Episode number five of the APES series, is the last and least of the bunch, with a juvenile script and parsimonious production values more befitting the various APES merchandising tie-ins (including toys, comic books, and action figures) than the fourth sequel to one of the finest science-fiction films in history.
