Planet of the Apes 1963
Planet of the Apes is the first movie like this with Charlton Heston. Great to see this movie coming back for others to see!
One of my favorite old school doomsday/sci-fi style movies. A cautionary tale to be sure. Charlton Heston just chews scenes to shreds. But the other actors, such as Roddy McDowell, managed to emote so well considering the restrictive ape prosthetics & costumes.
I had the DVD version, but decided to upgrade to the Blu-ray version during a special promo period. Glad I did. Colors, detail, sound all so much improved over the DVD version.
What can I say, an all-time classic... it may seem a little cheesy at times, but that's just because they didn't have the special effects that they now have... But there's a lot of lessons to be learned from this movie!!!
