have you seen planet of the apes 1968??? if so do you have any thots...

have i see planet of the apes. Have i seen planet of the apes

HELLO. one of my favorite movies of all time. first of all i love the talking animal in scifi trope especially with the reversed thing planet of the apes has where humans are the primitive ones, which it pulls off really well with heston getting the wound where he cant talk. i love the breakthrough moment he has with zira to show he's intelligent. and the twist at the end of the movie is an improvement on the book i think, where originally the ape planet was actually a different planet than earth, time travel though is a much better explanation. the costuming on planet of the apes was like extraordinary for the time and they were never able to get it as perfect in the movies that followed (the third movie is basically the only other one worth seeing in the series, escape from planet of the apes, conquest is alright too but 2 and 5 suck). i feel like it was also so different for the genre back then! sorry im not more eloquent abt it bc i gotta go somewhere in a minute, but yeah it's one of my favorites!
