Planet of the Apes (1968)

NEVER SAY "NO" TO AN APE! HAPPY 699TH BIRTHDAY CAESAR!
This is the fifth and last installment in the POTA's series or at least in the movie theater series. I must say this again....I am a big fan of the series and I have watched them in my home theater with the new transfers now. This film isn't bad, but a bigger budget could have helped. If you are going to watch these movies, please throw out all sense of reality! I hate when people pick apart things they feel are unbelievable in movies. We're talking about "talking apes" here! I will however have to question basic continuity in these films. Every installment has continuity problems that will split your brain in two just trying to make sense of it! I will give you one example ..... this film takes place in 2670 and the last picture was in 1991.....lets do some math here. That would make Caesar 699 years old Considering he was 20 years old in "Conquest" I guess the Caesar in this picture is his great, great, great, great grand son?? If that is true how is the Governor's aid's brother still alive? They don't really explain this. I am not trying to tear these films apart,but there are loads of little tidbits of information through out the series like this. As long as you are watching the films with the right mind set, this is a good film that just should have been better. The DVD transfer is very good and the extended edition helps a bit. My rating for the series is 1) POTA by a mile! 2) Escape from POTA 3) Beneath the POTA 4) Conquest for POTA 5) Battle for The POTA. The sequels are so close it really is a toss up with them.

In peace and harmony
Yes exactly as the film starts and finishes with an equal society of both humans and apes and making it the best installment of the 5 films and even better than the tv series of which follows during the following year.

good but...
okay just one problem (i know it's a movie) how did the apes all learn to talk from the 4th movie too this one???? anyone???
