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! Rating: 1 / 5 Several reviewers have called Charlton Heston’s acting here his best.

I felt that the content could have been more well-presented. It seemed to drag on in certain parts. Rating: 2 / 5 This movie was ok. I felt that the content could have been more well-presented.

I finally saw it on dvd because the critic in Entertainment Weekly talked about how great the "surprise ending" was. <br />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!

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! Rating: 3 / 5 What’s all the fuss about?
