Continuing our journey back to the past we now reach the one of the two good sequels of the original film, conquest and I have to say when I first saw it I like it more than any other of the rest of the series apart from the original.
So here we follow the child of Zera and Cornelius, Maylo/Ceasar who during the 88 minutes of the film he becomes the leading figure of the Ape resistance in a dystopian version of the nineties,in which people rule and use Apes as slaves and pets. Even if your historical knowledge is average you can clearly see who the problems that rocked the American society to its core in the late sixties and early seventies with the riots and the violence on the streets as the segregation between white and African-American came to a close.
Is it a perfect translation? Well, no actual the film is at times to fast pace and things take place a bit to quickly in order to get full invested to the characters and the start of the Ape revolt, but at least we have no slow moment to weight down the film. To add to that this speed keeps the interest about hat is happening.
Over all it is a product of its time and though heavy handed and a light campy nowadays, it is has a punch and if you are a fan of these films you should definitely watch.
