Battle for the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Battle for the Planet of the Apes features a pleasing 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. The transfer is moderately to highly detailed, the film's many bright exterior shots, scenes, and sequences generally offering the best imagery of the film. The various shots of the humans marching on Ape city to wage war, for example, look highly impressive; the sandy terrain in particular offering nice texture and detail. Likewise, the various rock faces and trees that adorn Ape city look fabulous in many shots. Colors are strong and well proportioned, never too faded or overly exaggerated. Grain is retained over the entirety of the image. Some scenes exhibit a fair amount of softness while others are sharp as a tack. Blacks hold up rather well, particularly in the underground sequences in the Forbidden City. Flesh tones are never problematic. All in all, Battle for the Planet of the Apes is on par with the other films in the series, sometimes looking a little better, sometimes looking a little worse, but on the whole, the presentation is more than acceptable.


Battle for the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Battle for the Planet of the Apes offers listeners a high quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack that features more of a hefty presence and fulfilling listen than any of the Apes films before it. Also included is the original monaural soundtrack. There are a few sequences where there is a noticeable drop off in sound quality, particularly when professor Abe, General Aldo, and Caesar discuss the professor's use of the word "no" in chapter 5. Also, a scene in chapter 10 featuring a discussion about a potential missile launch features audio that clearly sounds as if it were thrown together from multiple sources in post-production, with a discernible hiss accompanying only select lines of dialogue. Still, some of the shootouts featured in the film, particularly that in chapter 10, are more robust and commanding than any previously heard in the series, and playing alongside the percussion-heavy score, listeners will appreciate the improved fidelity and power of this mix, which is more satisfying than expected. Like the previous Apes films, there is not much of a rear channel presence, but the track nevertheless offers several effects that find their way into the back during the battle scenes, particularly the film's climactic confrontation. This soundtrack also feature no problems with dialogue reproduction. A fine lossless soundtrack in the context of its original mix, Battle for the Planet of the Apes sounds fine on Blu-ray.
