A longtime Apes-fan, I first owned the five movies in pan&scan on CBS-Fox Video; subsequently I had owned the five pics twice more: the letterboxed-THX'ed 1997 VHS saga (which incl. the "Behind" Doc), and the '06 "Legacy" set from Fox Home Entertainment (which had the uncut version of "Battle"- a true milestone, imo, for Fox). I never dove for Fox's first barebones DVD set from the early 00s- I was p'oed because they weren't even anamorphic transfers, and I was just as well off with my widescreen VHS set. Well, we've come full circle now, and this Blu set is an Apes fan's dream come true. This release is what we call a format changer. If you loved this saga, you won't be dissatisfied springing for this set even if it means revamping your entertainment center (I read one reviewer who said they bought a new widescreen TV and Blu-Ray player just to able to watch this set- almost $1K down just for this! Yikes!)
