Release date: February 8th 1968.
Story: When their spacecraft crash lands on a unknown planet, three astronauts (one named Taylor and played by Charlton Heston) escape the wreckage and explore the desert surroundings. But then they discover that the planet they are on is in fact a planet of super intelligent apes. And soon Taylor and his friends are captured by the apes. Only Taylor survives and he soon makes friends with two chimpanzee scientists. Can Taylor escape his captors and somehow escape from the planet of the apes? Watch the film and find out.
My thoughts: This is a great movie. The makeup effects and the characters are great and the story is also good. And the twist ending is one of the most famous movie scenes of all time. This movie has spawned four sequels, a tv series, a cartoon series, a remake by Tim Burton, a trilogy remake, and tons of merchandise. I would recommend this for any sci fi fans.
My score: Four stars.
