Critics Consensus: Bereft of bright ideas and visually shabby, Battle for the Planet of the Apes takes a celebrated franchise and blows it all up -- the maniacs!

Reviews

Los Angeles Free Press

Dick Lochte

The problem here is basically one of script, though the lowering of production values has taken its toll.

Some solid ideas at its center expounding on the series' omnipresent themes of race relations and destiny vs. free will, but is hobbled by its too-apparent dime-store budget and a singular lack of ambition.
