I saw this film as a child and absolutely fell in love with it. I am so glad that I grew up in the era without CGI effects. Most of today's blockbuster films are nothing but CGI which is so obvious that it destroys my enjoyment and believably at times. Planet of the Apes is a true classic.
Idk what you’re talking about the cgi in the new planet of the apes is amazing and one of the best movies ever
@@TheRolenFamily The CGI in any of these new Planet of the Apes films are totally unrealistic to me, but enjoy them if they work for you.
I took was a toddler when first movie and then on TV series and later the cartoon series too! These pre-CGI movies & TV series were great classics with truly real acting! Still admireit& inspired by it!
It's not like cgi is just people pressing a button and then the computer goes "here you go" cgi still requires lots of work to do. But I get what you mean there's a charm to traditional costumes
One of the best movies of all time.
My girlfriend worked in a 24 hour movie theater that played this outstanding movie continously. I had the pleasure of watching this movie at least 50 times and it never got boring. Thank you for posting.
A timeless classic
I remember as a young kid seeing these movies on CBS Friday Night movies in the early 70's. I was hooked. Without a doubt the first one is the best.
Same here I remember watching this on Friday nights and my parents went to football games because my sister played in the marching band and I was at home watching CBS Friday night movies. This is where I also fell in love with the movie Tora Tora Tora. Being born and raised in Arizona I have always had this affection for the battleship Arizona I kind of got off the subject here but it's hard to stay on subject when you reminiscing
I couldn't understand it then.
This movie holds a special place in my heart because it was the first one I saw at a drive-in. I remember Planet of the Apes trading cards being big at my school. I watched it for the first time in decades a couple months ago and it did tale me back to that time. The movie still holds up for the most part and the ending, where Charlton Heston breaks down when he discovers his ship never left Erath's orbit and he is back where he started just not in a way he expected is still cool. It's a neat play on the Theory of Relativity, though I didn't get that as a kid.
Same here ! saw it at the drive-in !!!
It's the best of the series. They got worse as time went on but still what a unique thing for the times!
I liked the third one, where the apes come back to 1970's Earth. The ending (last 10 minutes) was very memorable because of all the emotions involved in the last scenes.
One of the best. I was 14 years old when it came out. Shocking ending. Pure Twighlight Zone.
This has to be one of my favorite movies from back in the day! Who could forget that classic line from Charleton Heston, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" The sequels were just as good!
Brilliant movie, iconic and classic, still a great film today.
Rod Serling was the master at creating macabre and surreal stories.
The makeup for this movie was awesome. No CGI back then, however the scenarios they created, were convincing and worked a treat.
I saw Planet of the Apes in N.Y.C. when it premièred back in 1968.
And it was the movie I went to see, just before I was drafted (Vietnam War) into the Army!
My basic training was as Charleston Heston's famously quoted in The Planet of the Apes!
"It's A Mad House!" LOL
That was the most life changing times for a just turned 19 year old, born in NYC.
Indoctrinated into army in the south, then traveled half way around the world to South Korea, and the jungles of Vietnam.
This film came out at my cross roads of my young life, and left a profound memory of an alternate reality, which I experienced.
Welcome home and I hope you're doing well!
I remember seeing this as a 5 year old. The twist at the end of The Statue Of Liberty half destroyed was a brilliant ending thought up by Rod Serling, writer and creator of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery. The first Planet Of The Apes is still the best of the 5 original movies, in my opinion.
I seen this on the Big Screen and I must admit, I was shocked at the ending. I saw it the year it came out. 1968.
I concur with many of the comments comparing this film (which set the bar for future Sci-Fi films at least up until Star Wars ), that the artistry and care to make the film compared with today’s CGI-ladened films, well, there is no comparison.
A side note, I am a big fan of Recollection Road and quickly becoming a fan of this channel as well, kudos. I am also a fan of ‘Landrum C, Goes There’ , however, as he blocks his channel from comments, I feel that takes away from his channel compared to this, keep up the good work 👍
Loved watching this on TV as an adolescent 📺 in the 70s. My first movie watching with the grownups.
My family and I watched this cool movie when it was released in '68. My daddy really liked it!! FYI, so did I ! Thanks for the memory flashback!!
As a 5 year old child- I would translate this movie to my dear grandmother (Mama Linda) who knew no English. I barely understood myself, but she would sigh-and clap at appropriate times. I remember her asking if they (the apes) were "real?" I think I told her, "I don't know." It was astonishing for me to see such special effects as the ape masks/makeup were extraordinarily real. I am now 50 years old and just finished watching this movie all over again-from start to end. I now understand my life-long memories. Such an amazing film.
My seven year old has seen this about four times now. He loves it even more than the more recent remakes.
The first time I watched this movie was some 39 years ago and probably have watched it some 10 times more since, here in Turkiye and I still love it.
I learnt a lot of things about it that I did not know. 👍
I remember my father taking me and my brother to the drive-in to see this.
The drive-in was big for us growing up. Great times !!!
I thought the ending was brilliant, prophetic a true message that humans need to pull their finders out and realise we all live on the same planet.
I loved this movie when I first saw it as a ten year old.Then while I was older and on vacation my uncle took me and my cousin to see all the 5 ape movies in one day plus now I have all of them on DVD’s
Me too and I was loving this 🎬 movie to this day! Brilliant classic movie !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦧🌴🌳🌲🍃🍁🍂
There are clues early in the movie that they were actually on Earth in the New York city area. There was a map on the wall that was quite similar to the NYC metro area including Manhattan. It also showed the "Forbidden Zone" which was to the West on the map.
Watching this at the drive in was the coolest thing ever so lucky to have grew up then
TRULY ONE OF A KIND !
I was aboutr 10 or 11 when I first saw this, and was amazed and engrossed by it. This, along with "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" and "2001:A Space Odyssey, ignited a lifelong love of science-fiction and reading.
When I was a child I bought my dad the novel that was translated from the original French, he absolutely loved it ❤
I saw this as a kid and.loved it!
As i recall my family saw this at a drive-in movie theater as was a movie going custom for us in those days!
Thank you for your hard work producing this Before & After Video. VERY VERY INTERESTING! The movie saved the studio. Earning over $33 million on a $5 million Budget. Their 1967 Dr. Dolittle movie was a huge financial loss and a flop. Costing $17 million to produce and only earning $9 million
Somewhere about 1976, the Turnpike Drive-In in East Brunswick had an ape-a-thon. All five Apes films, back to back, from dusk into the wee hours of the morning. It was a blast.
A good Samaritan got a friend and I into this movie, pretending to be our uncle, I was 12. Most amazing thing I had seen. Still one of my all time favs. Watched the Blue ray just the other day One of those very special kind of movies
your voice is so soothing and this was very interesting!!
The original and still the best. Great one liners too. The ending is thought provoking as well as shocking when Heston realizes where he really is.
The apes spoke English and yet it never occurred to Taylor that he might be home on earth.
When I was a child, I saw the apes picture in the newspaper. I got sort of freaked out but amazed. Funny thing is that I had a dream about them! 😆
Saw the original film (1968) and the following parts in the 90ies. I loved the unexpected final scenes. Most of all part 3.
Interesting...I'll have to watch it.
Classic! The ending still blows me away!
It's one of my favorites, when it shows on TV I record it and watch it. Ove seen all the new ones. They really don't match up to the original. I remember the cartoon versions on Saturday mornings as well.
This was very interesting. Thank you.
One of the greatest movies of all time!
I did not know you did this too! Oh well subscribing to this too!
I was 5 when this movie came out. I’ve never seen it in its entirety. I’ve seen some parts of the middle and the ending scene, so I know what it’s about. I should probably watch the full movie. Thanks for the background information. It must have been brutally hot for the actors in full makeup to film this movie.
Love this movie. The ending?? Just WOW!
I was into all the Ape movies and TV show.
Fantastic movie
The make-up test featured Heston, Robinson, James Brolin and Linda Harrison. The make-up was actually minimal with Robinson Brolin and Harrison moving as the director thought apes moved in upright postures. There is a box set with some interesting how it was done videos.
I read the comic book first, I could do that for free on the comic rack at the drug store. I had to wait for the movie to come on TV. I also had to watch while staying the night at a friend's house, Mom and Dad didn't want to watch a "Monkey Movie".
My parents smugled me into the cinema ,under my dads coat , to watch all of the first 4 films in an evening. It was magical , cried my eyes out on the ship scenes , but never forgot what an amazing set of films they were and I still think They're much better than
Tim burton's new versions,
Good video (you sound like Stephen Colbert) : )
This would be connect for that depressing music in the background
You had me at top less.
Every single thing I've ever heard or read credits Michael Westmore with the original Star Trek
The make up is pretty impressive for it being back in the day😃!
I was always wondering how the apes could have modern weapons while living in mediveal-like huts and caves. Had they some hidden modern factories to produce these wapons and amunition somewhere else? How could they have the knowledge and abilities to build such weapons and at the same time seem to miss so much other knowledge?
Apes4Ever 🐵🔥🔥🔥
Great movie! Back when it was actually fun to watch movies. Not this crap out now
1968 year coronavirus was coined
💙🔥💙
The studio and the author were wrong. It's a great movie.
I remember having baseball cards of the movie.. would love to see where they disappeared yto
Keep them waving, the flags of discontent. Remember, never trust anyone over 30. You finally did it. You maniacs! You blew it up! Ahh, damn you. Damn you all to Hell! A great movie when my family saw it at the drive-in.
and they spoke English!
the 1968 movie (and the following 4) was REMARKABLE because it was all shot with film with live actors and edited BY HAND by cutting film.
The recent POTA movies were WAY too sterile with WAY too much CGI.
I gave you a thumbs up, but your music was distracting. It was like music for a dead person's viewing (but it wasn't funeral music or elevator music.)
Linda was so dang hot...geeeze
Never cared for it.
The ending gave my father a heart attack
Mark Wahlberg is no Charlton Heston.
