“MORD39 RATING: *** out of ****u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRoddy McDowall gives maybe his best APES performance as Caesar, an intelligent chimpanzee stuck in a time he was never meant to live in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNearly twenty years after ESCAPE…, Caesar has learned that apes have become household servants for humans to use. Their stature has increased, and their learning abilities too. Though no reason is given in the film (a typical criticism by some viewers) one may presume that the mysterious plague which killed all dogs and cats somehow had an effect on primates. Even Ricardo Montalbanu0026#39;s character says u0026quot;the pets became larger…and larger…until now……u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSoon, Caesar sees himself as a savior who can lead the apes out of their bondage and assert their independence. He leads the charge as the apes revolt and take over, apparently planting a seed that could eventually grow into the world we saw in the original PLANET OF THE APES classic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film again is intelligent, and action-packed. Itu0026#39;s true that by todayu0026#39;s over-blown standards, the ape revolt canu0026#39;t look as awesome as it did in 1972…but the focus here is on the character of Caesar, an ape from another time who is not responsible for what he is, and who has to stifle his anger over the state of his fellow simians and cope with his situation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enCONQUEST is good, solid science fiction.”
