Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is quickly paced, completely entertaining, and its philosophical pretensions don't get in the way.

rotten:
Dismal SF deep think (1968) that gave birth to an equally dismal string of sequels and TV series spin-offs.

Planet of the Apes is one of those rare films whose historical impact outweighs its quality. It's a good film, but not a classic.

As illuminatingly bleak a statement on human hubris as a Hollywood superproduction has given us.
