Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

I'm tempted to comment that reports of the Hollywood film's death have been exaggerated. It is alive and well and flourishing on the Planet of the Apes.

The darkest and most violent chapter in a series that had fairly distinguished itself already with its dark subject matter and disturbing imagery.

It's a mean, oppressive film that feels exhaustively claustrophobic, its action centered on a sterile city block and scattered, computer-soaked offices and labs.
