    The first of two prequels, Conquest has some really good ideas and a brilliant ending but just isn't as good as the originals.
  • January 2, 2009
    At this point (the 4th movie in the series) any semblance of the original series is gone--and with it any sense of logic. (I'm just going to get this out of the way here, but why the hell would you keep something that could beat the living shit out of you as a pet?) So, retarded ...( read more)logic aside, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes isn't that bad. It's always funny to watch older movies vision of the future after its come and gone and Conquest's version of the future was no exception with everyone wearing all black in their 1984 society. All that nonsense aside the movie's not too bad with the exception of the disjointed free-for-all ape revolution toward the end. Some great imagery included, Conquest brings the series full circle where it should have ended.

    An ugly movie. Apes are integrated into human society, first as pets, and then as servants. The apes revolt and start an ugly war against the humans.

    good

    A good sequel with a lot of energy and that exciting "Revolution" feeling.
  • November 12, 2009
    This is one of the sequels to the Planet of the Ape movies. This is basically about how the apes became intelligent and began their domination of Earth. The look and style is much like all of the other Planet of the Ape movies. The story was solid and I enjoyed it. If you enjoyed...( read more) the other Planet of the Apes movies then check this one out.

    Not the best of the bunch, but i owe it to myself to rewatch the whole lot.

    conquest for more money because we haven't beaten this franchise to death yet. Next movie: "Planet of the Apes in Space" or "Planet of the Apes, The Man with the Golden Banana"
  • August 2, 2009
    We all know how it ends, but it's still pretty damn terrifying to watch!
