Schmaltzy doesn't get much better...

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

Fans will enjoy it, but the "Apes" gang could have done a little better. Not surprisingly, this was the fifth and last installment. (Unless you count the TV show...)

Aside from Severn Darden, who relishes his lip-smacking heavy character, the cast seems disinterested; even series stalwart Roddy McDowall looks bored.

[It] seems reluctant to use the potentials for astute comic strip philosophy that all the other films revelled in to a greater or lesser extent.

An okay finale.

Unnecessary sequel is nonetheless entertaining; Roddy Mcdowall back in simian shape.

The bluntest, cheapest and worst of the 'Apes' movies.

At least it is only 83 minutes long.

Considering the usual fate of sequels, it's not so much that this final effort [from a story by Paul Dehn] is limp, but that the previous four pix maintained for so long a good quality level.

The battle was lost several movies earlier.
