Planet of the Apes | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A triumph of artistry and imagination, it is at once a timely parable and a grand adventure on an epic scale. Provocative as it is entertaining, it is a true screen odyssey.

Boulle's science-fiction mind bender, hypoed by the tingling realism of the camera work and the action sequences, has become an enthralling film that spikes a few non-fiction truths along the way.

Taken as a fast-paced adventure fantasy, Planet of the Apes provides enjoyable entertainment, although the society switcheroo is laboriously handled by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling.

If you can forgive, or ignore, the low-grade gags, you should find Planet of the Apes a first-rate science fiction adventure enriched with serious moral, theological and social implications.

[Planet of the Apes] has a strong basic theme and a finale which is so powerful and at the same time frightening that only an adult mind can appreciate the implications. It is one of the most worth while productions of the year.
