THE FIRST AND THE BEST
RooneyTunes | 09/05/2008 | See all RooneyTunes' reviews (4) »
This is up there for me as one of the best sci-fi films ever. Great lines such as 'get your paws off me you damn dirty ape' will go down in movie history. The first scenes where the apes are introduced in the hunt sequence must have been mind blowing to a cinema audience in the 60's and the ending is one of the best to a film which is shocking, stirring and thought provoking. This sits head and shoulders over the remake which I find confusing (still don't understand the ending). The monkey make up in the remake is better but hey that was made in 2001 with all the advancements and this was made in 1968, over 30 years before. If you want to be entertained watch this version

The only version of the film worth watching seeing as it was written by the "Twilight God" himself Rod Serling, don't waste your time on the Marky Mark version.
awesome
