PLANET OF THE APES Movie Reaction (What a great TWIST!)

Planet of the Apes (1968)
FIRST TIME WATCHING Planet of the Apes has me wanting to react to the entire series. I thought the costumes were so amazing. Charlton Heston played an iconic hero and I loved how the movie kind of tied into the Andy Serkis Trilogy. It makes me want to go back and REACT to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes all over again.

You're overthinking the ending. The Statue of Liberty shows that they actually landed back on Earth after humans "blew it up."

[@80sFreak100]

The final scene with the Statue of Liberty represents the scroll verse that Dr. Zaius cited about man before he let Taylor go. "You may not like what you find" and this verse described the reality of man. Taylor meant that humanity had a nuclear war that destroyed human civilization. That's the significance of the final scene of this movie.

I love how jaded and cynical Charlton Heston is at the beginning of the film, then throughout the second act he starts to regain his pride for the human race only for it to be utterly destroyed by the twist. That really is a 360 in character development.

‘Oh no I was wrong, it was earth all along’ Troy McClure’s take is still the best version of this story.

[@davidmiles533]

The makeup took 8 hours a day and won awards. There were no special effects. Everything was done as you see it practically.

And now "Soylent Green" and "The Omega Man", please. ^^

I saw this film when it premiered in 1968. After viewing it, I learned that Rod Serling had something to do with the screenplay. The acting was superb. For its time, the special-effects makeup was very good. It's been a long time since I read the novel, "The Planet of the Apes" by Pierre Boulle. "Thanks, Kazzy!

[@parallaxnick637]

"Oh my God! I was wrong! It was Earth all along! You finally made a monkey out of me! I love you Doctor Zaius!"

[@cordiscoscorner]

Fun fact...Rod Serling wrote the screenplay (Twlight Zone creator) for the movie. He's from my hometown of Binghamton, NY. Met him a few times at my old high school when he came back to talk to the class. Pretty cool guy.

[@mr.vesper5659]

Man that ending is still one of the most iconic twists in all of cinema. Imagine seeing that, after believing that you were on an alien planet the whole time. Crazy.

[@jamielandis4308]

“Get your stinking paws off of me you damn dirty ape!” This is one of cinema’s most iconic quotes, right up there with “Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn” and “I am your father.”

[@tsogobauggi8721]

"-Spaceballs! -Oh shit, there goes the planet." :)

[@QuayNemSorr]

Amazing movie and still holds up to this day.

[@starbrand3726]

Traveling near the speed of light slowed down the time on their ship. Plus the cryo chambers also made them not age. The ship actually flew in a big circle returning to Earth 2,000 years after they launched. All this time Taylor thought he was on an alien planet but it was actually Earth the whole time. There was clearly a nuclear war and humanity almost destroyed itself.

He can talk. He can talk. He can talk. He can talk. He can talk…

[@pathatfield2543]

Good job catching the “see no evil,hear no evil,speak no evil”I actually didn’t notice that the first time I saw it.I think it’s one of the best science-fiction movies ever,and I hope you do more science-fiction and/or horror.Also,thanks for always giving me something to look forward to so that,even during those relatively rare times I’m feeling down I have something to turn to.

[@emersonwilson21]

They thought they landed on a strange planet at first. But in fact they just didn't recognize it because it had been over 2000 years into the future. So yes he realizes that he has in fact been on earth all along at the end.

[@hawlikd]

The sound track is just amazing!

[@DylansPen]

One of the great movies from the '60's.

[@adrianfuegoscuro6308]

That ending scene! give me Chills every time. You will never find a more stronger dark ending to a movie. PLANET OF THE APES. Masterpiece!
