Still beguiling

Planet of the Apes is an amazing film.
August 16, 2001
A dreadful film, a compendium of clumsy dialogue, one-dimensional characters, risible plot turns and long silences broken by incomprehensible meaningful looks.

Somehow this melding of clever science fiction ideas with old-fashioned popcorn thrills just clicked.

A pitch perfect science fiction film, that still conveys sharp social commentary...
July 06, 2011
As illuminatingly bleak a statement on human hubris as a Hollywood superproduction has given us.

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.

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.

This generational touchstone remains a playful widescreen fable of the bestiality that defines and destroys cultures.
May 30, 2007
It is quickly paced, completely entertaining, and its philosophical pretensions don't get in the way.

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.

Dismal SF deep think (1968) that gave birth to an equally dismal string of sequels and TV series spin-offs.
