Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the fifty years since its 1968 debut, the Planet of the Apes franchise has remained one of the most complex, thought-provoking franchises in film. Its obvious resonances with racial tension and societal prejudice have always made the franchise relevant. The franchise includes ten films in total. 1968's Planet of the Apes gave way to a total of five films and was also remade in 2001 by Tim Burton.

It pretty much makes no sense, particularly Burton's hated ending.
Like many of the original sequels, Conquest does play things a bit safe. It refrains from fully engaging with the many themes bubbling beneath its surface and behaves more like an action-packed blockbuster instead. Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with opting for spectacle over substance, but the action in the film is far from spectacular. Still, considering the uneven nature of the early sequels, Conquest has a lot going for it.
By placing its apes into our world, Escape clearly connected with the ongoing anxieties at the time of its release. Even today, the film feels relevant for its overt discussion of racial unrest and social division. It also works as a loving sendoff to some of the characters who had defined the franchise up until that point.
