Many early scholarship novella drive-in theatre have been now, utterly inadvertently (and in many cases undeservedly), objects of stay attention: we giggle at the stupid makeup, tin-can special effects, and the genuine “high-tech” dialogue. Planet of the Apes is no such film. Its smart script, frightening costuming, and savagely in effect end (which needs no big-budget special goods to enlarge the impact) sojourn both manly and relevant. When Colonel George Taylor (the fanciful Charlton Heston) pile-up lands his booster on what seems to be an unknown planet, he is restrained and hold restrained by a widespread competition of hyperrational, clear apes. However, the ape village is riven with inner dissention, centered in no small partial on the process toward humans, who, on this planet, have been treated with colour as foolish animals. Befriended and in conclusion assisted by the some-more magnanimous simians, Taylor escapes–only to find a some-more terrifying barrier opposed his lapse home. Heavy-handed intent lessons abound–the ubiquity of generational warfare, the persistence of dogma, the cruelty of prejudice–and the terse fingerprints of Rod Serling have been really most in justification here. But executive Franklin Schaffner has a dark, pop-apocalyptic sci-fi prophesy all his own, and time has not dulled the staggering romantic stroke of the film’s climactic boon shot. If you do not know what I’m articulate about here, you owe it to yourself to check out this mill classic, and even if you do, see it with uninformed eyes; and do not be astounded if you get the chills all over again… and again… and again. –Miles Bethany

What’s all the fuss about? A bunch of pilots get lost in the grand canyon and run into some monkeys. So what? This movie is slow paced, no action, and lacking in its writing(amateurs must have written the script). At least it has the dude that played Moses in it. And you people stop saying my review is not helpful. It is plenty helpful!

Even though I was old enough to have seen the original movie in theatres, I never did. I finally saw it on dvd because the critic in Entertainment Weekly talked about how great the “surprise ending” was.
I’ll keep this short. You’d have to be pretty dim to buy into the premise that Heston’s character……supposedly a scientist…..wouldn’t at least suspect that he might be on earth. There was so much evidence to that effect. So the ending is not a surprise at all. You can see it coming hours away. Aside from that, the movie is just very lame. I had a tough time forcing myself to watch it all the way through. Bad acting, bad dialog, bad plot. Nuff said. You’re either with me or against me..:-)………p.s. I find it amusing the way all the POTA lovers out there can only express their hurt by indicating that my review was not helpful. Boo hoo!

This movie was ok. I felt that the content could have been more well-presented. It seemed to drag on in certain parts.

Several reviewers have called Charlton Heston’s acting here his best. It very well may be, but this is rather like applauding Dan Quayle for his best spelling or Woody Allen for his best weight-lifting. Charleton Heston couldn’t act if his life depended on it–it’s just too bad it never did. Pretty much everybody has heard of the film “Planet of the Apes” and knows something about it, so it’s unlikely many with taste and discrimination and intelligence will come here (which accounts for all the five-star “reviews”), but just in case someone does: READ THE BOOK! It’s NOTHING like the film!
