People generally think of The Planet of The Paes as being one film, Charlton Heston's search for retribution on a planet not his own. However, it is easy to forget that there were five film, each more bizarre than the last, and each featuring (particularly by the fourth outing) more in the way of political postulating. As the budget got smaller for each film, the effort put into them grew, and whilst they do not match the quality of the first (and, some might say, the second), they are far more stirring, being firmly rooted more in our own time - The Fourth film being set in a 1970's view of 1991!!! They are all excellent films, even if you have to get past the poor makeup in the final two films!!!!

Astronauts are sent to a distant plane and crash. They find a barren wasteland and look for a place to survive. They fond more than the bargain for when the tables are turned and Apes rule the day. Will they make friends or be sliced and diced? Can the ever get back? What would you do?
Now after that radical statement I know different media calls for different handling of the story. And most movies do not live up to the book. However some exceed the book. Surprise this is the "don't live up to the book" one. If you thought that the movie was insightful, surprising and shocking the first time you saw it. Then you defiantly have lower expectations than the reader does. Especially with such a blotched ending.
I did like the idea of having a movie where the woman was not talking all the time. (Just kidding) And the makeup for the simians was excellent. I suppose if you haven't read the book that this would be a pleasant time passer.
See Roddy McDowall again in Lord Love A Duck (1966) where he monkeys around with Tuesday Weld.
