Movie Review
Planet Of The Apes (1968)Avg. Rating: (out of 4 stars) Rate this film Rated: G Directed by: Franklin J. Schaffner Starring: Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter Tagline: An unusual and important motion picture from the author of "the Bridge on the River Kwai"! Favorite line: "Get your filthy paws off me you d@mn dirty ape!" First words spoken by Taylor (Heston) to the apes once he finally gets his voice back. Length: 112 minutes Plot: Astronauts travel into the future and crash land on a planet ruled by apes and where human are mere mute "animals".Review by Greg Barnett (1 reviews):  I am referring to the original. I had the chance to see it again on SCI-FI this week I still think it is great after all these years. Review by The Editor (12 reviews):  This is one of the all-time classic sci-fi movies. Although the idea was beat to death with sequels, a TV series, cartoons, etc., the original movie was great. The ape costumes are certainly not very good by today's standards, but for their time they were great. The plot is original, engaging and moves at a steady pace. The film keeps your attention and keeps you wondering how Chalton Heston's character is going to get out of the situation he finds himself in.
Whether you are a sci-fi fan or not, this is one of those movies that everyone should see at some point.
