it's a bit dated but pretty good. Overacting though LOL but I suppose it's how acting was when this was made. Thought-provoking movie ... about animal welfare, domination of species, fear of the unknown and how religion stuns science.

This is the one that started it all and in my humble opinion none of the newer remakes/reboots or whatever you wish to call them will ever touch this one. It's very well thought out Sci-Fi and moves along at a steady pace without giving you too much to go on. Heston occasionally gets called out for overacting but if you watch some of his movies that's kind of his acting style more or less (see Soylent Green and The Omega Man.) Plus that ending, woah that ending. As one other commenter mentioned, it is chill-inducing and the movie fades out in such a calm yet creepy way.

This gem from the opening monologue is brilliant: "But seen from out here, everything seems different. Time bends, space is... boundless. It squashes a man's ego. I feel lonely..."

I don't think that you can call the poster (which is finally gone) a spoiler anymore. I've watched the movie five minutes ago, but I knew the ending my whole life from various tv shows (like The Simpsons), parodies etc. Even the fact that there's spoiler

You really have to live under a rock to not know that the planet the scientists arrives to spoiler

I mean, seriously, that's common knowledge now.

The original Planet of the Apes (1968) was and still is a classic. I love it. When you haven't seen it in a while, it still manages to surprise you, and it's a joy when the famous lines are spoken. Its parable about race relations and the way it upends the social order (East/West, North/South and Dark/Fair) still works today and the ape make-ups, though a bit stiff by today's standards, are still surprisingly expressive. Charlton Heston's George Taylor is a surprisingly misanthropic character, and Ape society is at once its mirror, its response and its solution. Much deeper than a Monkey Planet movie has any right to be.
