Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Battle looks like the last gap of a dying series, a movie made simply to wring the dollars out of any remaining ape fans.

IndieWire - Unnamed
It’s hard to get the same feeling of awe and epic scale that the series’ best installments can offer when you’re essentially watching ten guys squabble in a forest.

The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
The bloodiest of the Apes films, and one of the most despairing.

Empire - Ian Nathan
Largely devoid of any charm or intelligence that made other Apes films entertaining, this one should be buried in the Forbidden Zone.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Episode number five of the APES series, is the last and least of the bunch, with a juvenile script and parsimonious production values more befitting the various APES merchandising tie-ins (including toys, comic books, and action figures) than the fourth sequel to one of the finest science-fiction films in history.
