83 The initial sequel series and modern prequel trilogy could never even prepare the uninitiated viewer for how quiet this film is, and how careful it is at revealing its hand - constructing a series of loaded, aggressive images for the shock of the american public. That…

Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape! -George Taylor The most remarkable thing here is that a 1960s film about talking apes still holds up almost 45 years later. Some people might scoff that the makeup isn't THAT good, but it IS good enough that the…
Mr. DuLacNov 3, 2023In my brain, I always knew this was good but not this good? Guess I’ll binge the franchise now.
Joe AJul 6, 2014Not perfect, but great in all the ways that count. On this viewing I was particularly impressed by the courtroom scenes, which are some of the most interesting and revealing of ape society -- and critical of the human society they're meant to satirize -- and by Heston,…

Super realistic, look into the future almost.
Lexie likedPlanet of the ApesI can’t believe this actually happened
Matt Ortiz lovedPlanet of the ApesThis film holds up surprisingly well on a narrative level. And having not seein it since I was young, there are a lot of darker themes about human violence than I remember, creating much less of an us vs them and more of a classic tragic hero story. Excited for the this rewatch!

9/10
CvptvinHowdy likedPlanet of the ApesGoing into this, especially after seeing only the newer action-packed planet of the apes, you'd think you would be bored out of your mind, but I was sucked in pretty fast and fascinated by the social commentary. Thankfully, I've never had the ending spoiled, so it did surprise me.
Bella is "meh" onPlanet of the Apesseverely underwhelming. whilst it is undeniably a very thought-provoking piece that is built upon a very interesting premise, the cinematography was certainly questionable at time and the pace was far too slow. whilst the ending was a good twist i expected more from it. 5/10

Planet of the Apes is much better than I expected it to be. It is quickly paced, completely entertaining, and its philosophical pretensions don't get in the way. If you only condescend to see an adventure thriller on rare occasions, condescend this time. You have nothing to lower but your brow.
