Planet Of The Apes
This story presents a series of powerful events that we are experiencing through that spacecraft, which has been hit by more landslides. It is the American spacecraft that was destroyed in a lake on an unknown planet after a long flight close to light. Although things are going at a bad turn, astronauts have discovered that smart monkeys speak and can control them, the dominant species living here. These species seem to be the most oppressed and enslaved humans on this planet.

It's a film to see, all right, and it does confirm Schaffner's talent. It is only that one can now see more clearly the limits of that talent, limits which are much narrower than I had hoped.July 06, 2012
Somehow this melding of clever science fiction ideas with old-fashioned popcorn thrills just clicked.May 30, 2007
It is quickly paced, completely entertaining, and its philosophical pretensions don't get in the way.July 03, 2011
This generational touchstone remains a playful widescreen fable of the bestiality that defines and destroys cultures.July 29, 2016
A pitch perfect science fiction film, that still conveys sharp social commentary...July 30, 2011
Back in 1968, this sci-fi, directed by Schaffner and penned by Wilson and Serling, was original, quite intelligent , and well executed, garnering a special Oscar for makeup.April 07, 2008
Planet of the Apes is an amazing film.May 09, 2015
Still beguilingAugust 16, 2001
A dreadful film, a compendium of clumsy dialogue, one-dimensional characters, risible plot turns and long silences broken by incomprehensible meaningful looks.May 30, 2007
Planet of the Apes is one of those rare films whose historical impact outweighs its quality. It's a good film, but not a classic.July 06, 2011
As illuminatingly bleak a statement on human hubris as a Hollywood superproduction has given us.May 30, 2007
Dismal SF deep think (1968) that gave birth to an equally dismal string of sequels and TV series spin-offs.
