Who knew a movie about apes could be so good? This movie is a classic, hands-down.
The plot: some astronauts crash-land on a mysterious planet ruled by apes who enslave humans.
Performances: Charlton Heston was perfect as Taylor, the lead astronaut who is thrown into ape society. Roddy McDowall was also perfect as Cornelius, a chimp who helps out Taylor. Kim Hunter was fun to watch as Zira, Cornelius' wife. Maurice Evans was memorable as Dr. Zaius, Zira's boss who wants Taylor brought down. Linda Harrison was interesting as Nova, Taylor's mute human love-interest. Robert Gunner was excellent as Landon, Taylor's panicked fellow-astronaut. And Lou Wagner was great as Lucius, Cornelius and Zira's nephew.
Music score: Very professionally done. Really got you into the mood of every scene.
The make-up: Extensive and well-done. The apes look very convincing.
The verdict: a classic movie by all means, if you have not seen it, do it now! 10/10
