This is the ultimate movie of its genre. The rich story and less than subtle political commentary compliments the intellect while simultaneously fullfilling any craving for action. This particular DVD is loaded with wonderful extras which give wonderful insight on the powerful cultural impact this movie has had on societies all over the world. In addition, don't be fooled by the early date of it's release (1968). It's special effects still hold up to today's standards. By the way, this movie was remade in (2003?), but it outshines the remake by leaps and bounds. I pride myself on being a critic of movies because I enjoy them so much. I also recognize that great movies are so seldom made. I could go on and on about this one in particular but I wanted to be concise in my opinion. Although everone has there own particular taste in everything. This is one movie that could be enjoyed by a wide variety of audiences (Scifi and non-scifi fans alike).Read full review
I saw this film when it was originally released in the movie theater. Not knowing anything about the story, I was completely drawn into the world of the primate planet and shocked by the ending. The actors are completely committed to their characters in bringing this futuristic tale to life. This was before CGI (computer generated imagery.) Great storytelling! Screenwriter is Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame.
