Classic, essential Science-fiction movie. I first saw this on TV at my grandma's house, back in the early 90s maybe and I loved it instantly. I was like 12yo and already I liked the classic Twilight Zone tv show. With no idea whatsoever of Rod Serlings credit at that time, I sensed that Twilight Zone vibe in Planet of Apes really strongly, leading up to the incredible twist ending, yea. Go ape💯👍

It drives me nuts to see how effectively a firm bias can smother creative thought...but this movie presents that dilemma in an entertaining way. IMHO, the pacing is slow, but perfect; the camera work is dated, but captivating; and the "otherworldly" scenery is beautiful.

This one started it all! The best one because it was unheard of at the time. Producers try and make remakes of stuff all the time, but not original ideas like this one! I loved it when it came out and still do. A bit stiff at times but think about how people thought in the 60s, that this was different, a time when humans were usurped by the nature they disdained...like today.
