Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall star in this legendary science fiction masterpiece. Astronaut Taylor (Heston) crash lands on a distant planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, his life in the hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (McDowall).
Several generations in the future following Caesar's reign, apes are now the dominant species and live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.

SuperbMend-bending travel into the future of Earth. Love this film, and never get tired of seeing it. The newer versions of this series of films do not do this original justice. The story itself is epic..Score: 5/5

A Science Fiction classicThe beginning is a little slow for my tastes, as it's mostly spent just showing three guys walking around a desert, but once the apes show up, this movie earns its iconic reputation, with a great deal of suspense, interesting ideas, quotable lines, and a twist for the ages (even though I unfortunately already knew about it before watching it)..Score: 5/5

"Take your stinkin paws off me you d)#ned dirty ape!"- Charlton Heston"Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death."- Roddy McDowall This is a sci-fi classic that has to be seen. This movie has a great storyline and has undertones about evolution that do not insult the religious crowd [something that quite frankly the movie Paul needed to learn from.......it was an insult to both crowds]. The make up on these apes is amazing for the time. The ending, which has been parodied to the point of staleness, was one of the greatest movie twists I had ever seen. But, then again what do you expect from one of the writers of the classic TV series The Twilight Zone? I recommend this movie classic..Score: 5/5

Great movie, good quality for non HD versionWas a bit hesitant to purchase this version, as it is not in HD, but the quality is top notch for its size and it plays great on a big screen. Can't wait to watch the rest of the series!.Score: 5/5

Sci-Fi at it's bestThey say that nothing tops the original. No truer words could be spoken in the case of 'Planet of the Apes.' A highly compelling sci-fi drama with imaginative characters, a strong storyline, and superb performances - particularly from Shakespearean Great, Maurice Evans, as the stubborn Dr. Zaius. Charlton Heston carries his part well, along with Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter. There's nothing not to like about this film. One of those rare instances where no matter what the technical aspects of the film are, it stands the test of time and continues to thrill and entertain audiences of all generations..Score: 5/5

Acclaim For The Planet Of The ApesFor a classic science fiction film blessed with stunning originality, the best sci-fi film twist ending ever, superb actors and sci-fi's tradition of paralleling down-to-Earth realities, Planet Of The Apes has it all. The sequels were equally blessed with their dimensionality, something that most sci-fi film sequels seem to lack. Whatever reasons fans have for viewing it again, no matter how well-known the twist ending is, the best reason I can think of is Planet Of The Apes' unrivaled uniqueness. Over forty years later, its morality regarding the potential for prejudice and destruction remains undiminished. And rightfully so..Score: 5/5
Stands The Test of TimeSomeday they may be able to make this movie over in a way that people will like. Right now, all remakes pale in comparison. My faves are Roddy McDowell and Kim Hunter. They make the characters believable and likable. Best movie thus far, with Escape being my number two (because of Hunter and McDowell).Score: 5/5
Planet of The ApesThis is one of my all time favorite movies because of it's uniqueness. Although there is not much action or special effects (such as explosions and firefights) I think this makes the film better considering when it was made. The one thing that turns me off is the begging because of how phony the space travel is..Score: 4/5
