4.0 out of 5 stars A great Planet of the Apes sequel, November 22, 2008
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is by no means "a very bad film" as the first reviewer here put it. It's actually a very well thought out film that does reflect some of the social upheaval in the United States during the late 60's and early 70's. Planet of the Apes films have always been a comment on the social climate during the period they were made.

Conquest is the darkest film of the Apes series, and the two different versions on the Blu-ray disc have varying levels of violence. The uncut version is very in your face and bloody and ends on a very violent note, which if you discount the fifth movie in the series Battle for the Planet of the Apes, makes a perfect transition to the first Apes film which is set after Conquest chronologically. In the first Apes film men are hunted for sport by apes, used for medical experiments and treated like animals. It was a pretty violent film for it's day as well.

The PG rated version of Conquest ends on a much more upbeat note that the timeline may have changed and that things might not end up so badly. There is still violence but not as much blood as the uncut version. It's really great to be able to see both versions of the film so that you can see where the film makers originally intended it to go and what the test audiences did not like about the movie before it was re-edited.

The film was directed by J. Lee Thompson who also directed The Guns of Navarone. And the look of the film is very deliberate. I suppose one could complain as the previous reviewer did that the artistic use of colors in the film is distracting, but I feel it shows that the creators of this film actually put some thought into how they wanted the audience to react to the characters and environments on the screen. One also has to remember that this movie was made several years before Star Wars came on the scene and changed the way we look at special effects in science fiction films. But for the period it was made in the costumes and effects are very well done. Personally I love the look of the city in the film but then I'm a bit of a apes fan to begin with.

Anyway in my opinion this is my favorite of the Apes sequels. If your an apes fan or you've seen the first three but never checked out the fourth, the Blu-ray version is the one to get. You get to see both versions of the film in very good video quality with great sound as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was good., June 19, 1999
By A Customer
This movie got back to the true tradition of PLANET OF THE APES. It wasn't all lovey-dovey, it was repressive dominance, that leads to revolt. The portrayal of poor simian conditions was excellent, it really makes you sympathize for them... eventhough you know they're gonna start ruling over us...

3.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN APE!, August 2, 2007
This is the forth installment in the POTA's series. I had heard rumors that this film was severely cut before releasing it in theaters. It would have been nice if they would have restored the edited scenes in it in an extended version like what was done with "Battle for". Oh well....... The film is pretty good, but a bigger budget could have helped. It also would of helped if they were not pushing for a G rating like all the sequels. I guess they thought these films were for kids?..... The problem with all the sequels is that they are too middle ground. Too violent for the kiddies too tame for the adults! I don't mean to be harsh on these films as I am a big fan! I saw them all at the theaters growing up and have seen them many times now. This is a good film that could have been better. The DVD transfer is very good.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I said 'lousy IN-human bastards!'"
