Planet of the Apes


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Myself

Time to give the bluray box set a spin.

Never been a Charlton Heston fan. He comes off as a bit of a dick in this film too. But despite that I really do love the film. Rod Serling worked on the screenplay adaptation and it has all the elements of the best Twilight Zone films. A stranger in a set of circumstances where the norm is upsidedown. A strong social message, a story about morality, and a final big twist ending that leaves you gasping.

That and monkeys. Everyone loves monkeys right?

Can't watch it now and not think of the Simpsons musical version. Still it's a fantastic and I always love watching it.
