Viewing Notes
Easily the worst of the five movies, Battle obviously suffers from a rushed production and a thin budget. The action sequences are terribly boring; even the attack on Ape City is tepid at best.
I do, however, like the way the movie brought the plot around full circle, back to Beneath The Planet of the Apes. Otherwise, pretty meh.
