Clever and unforgettable movie with a reputation untainted by a number of (pretty good and unfairly maligned) sequels.
Charlton Heston's awesome and domineering performance is at the heart of this great film which blends metaphorical arguments with a cracking adventure story.
Legendary prosthetic makeup and strong characterisations demand the viewer's full attention and the sweeping and magnificent camerawork blends with the unusual backdrops.
Planet of the Apes is a seminal and historically significant movie which developed intelligent and cerebral ideas and also examined issues that are as thought provoking and challenging as any scientific theories.
Throw in one of the greatest endings of all time and you have the quintessential Sci Fi blockbuster.
