Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is a great release of the original classic however be warned, this is the same blu-ray that has been released since 2008. The features are the same and it comes with the 2014 cover. The only update to this version is the slipcover. Regardless, this is a must own blu-ray version of this classic if you dont own it already.

This is the original Charlton Heston starrer, where an astronaut crashes back on Earth after years in space, only to find the planet is now running by intelligent talking apes, and human beings are considered to be the wild, undomesticated animals. Intriguing.

The quality of the transfer to DVD was very good. The story line of this movie was well advanced at the time it was produced. The special effect are limited, but for the time they were made, they were very good. This, the original Planet of the Apes is superior to the more recent remakes of the movie.

A classic. One of the greatest films ever made. I was disappointed by the commentaries. Most of the time, the people in the commentaries don't talk at all. It's still an amazing films with one of the greatest scores of all time.

Years ago when I first watched it with my dad, I thought it was a great movie. I bought it to see if I still thought it was still good. Dads been gone 11 years, but I still think it a great movie

I'm old enough to remember when this first came out and OK, the monkey's faces look fake. CGI has come a long way since 1968. But it still has a great story. The same story that how many (?) sequels have been built on.

I just had to get this, mainly to watch with my teenage daughter. Although the film wasn't as good as I remember it being, it still holds up pretty well. It's been reviewed so many times by so many insightful critics that there's no need for more.

Hadn't seen this original Planet of the Apes since I was a kid, and I have to say it holds up well and looks great on Blu-Ray. Plus, it's loaded with bonus features to provide a great look at the film and its making.

It's hard to believe that the author of Bridge on the River Kwai was the author of the book Planet of the Apes - but that is what makes it different from others in the genre. The blu-ray is a must have.

Old movie and as a child loved it, it's still good but not as much as I remember. The boys tried to watch it but couldn't stay focused...kids under 12 probably will not care to watch.

This was the beginning of a great movie series, planet of the apes. Even tho the movie came out in 1968, the special effects was awesome and the apes had a feel human side to them, I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Much better, but not as slick, as the recent remakes. Shows you what the world will be like in the future when western culture gets destroyed.

This is one of my favorite classics from the 60's, before the days of CG and massive special effects. If you haven't seen it, no spoilers, but great costuming and acting.

I am not going to spoil it but this movie has a very interesting plot twist at the end. The special effects are dated but they are not bad for a movie from 1968.

The Tim Burton remake was interesting, but the original is a classic for a reason. A good bit to laugh at, but there's plenty drama that works too.

I got this as a gift for my 13 year old grandson. We saw the newest sequel at movie theater but I wanted him to see how it all started, and he LOVES it.

Very original movie for it's time. Charlton Heston is a great strong leading actor. A little cheesy, but a gray classic that makes you stop and think a little

Had to own the original that made all the sequels possible. A classic movie.

It was good movie. offer more info about planet. will recommend buy
