| Nelson_Mandela 06/03/19 9:37:45 PM #223: | #168. Planet of the Apes https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fd/PlanetoftheapesPoster.jpg Dir: Franklin J. Schaffner Genre: Science Fiction Year: 1968 I am a sucker for the recent Planet of the Apes movies. They are unnecessarily great films in their respective genres that give me a lot of hope for the upcoming Batman series. However, as good as they are, they still do not match the wonder of the original. It's hard to appreciate the scope of the original Planet of the Apes. It's been ripped off, homaged, and parodied so many times that its effect has almost worn off. But this remains a fantastic sci-fi story, aged special effects aside, that has a lot to say through its subtext. The final shot (everyone knows this one) is still one of the most iconic in movie history and is now underrated for how much the twist freaked people in the 1960s the fuck out. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
