Modern Technical Effects Make Movie Magic That Wasn't Possible In 1968

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2019)

Somewhere out there in 2011, there was a guy that saw 'Planet Of The Apes' (1968) in the theater, back when Lyndon Johnson was President and no one had air conditioning. It was this guys favorite movie. He bought the posters, and wore a monkey costume on Halloween. So, he saw all the sequels, and lived his life, and now he's in his later years. For that guy, this must have been the greatest movie of all time. The effects make something possible that just couldn't have happened in 1968.
For me, I don't like watching humans be mean to animals, as a way to manipulate an audience for 90 minutes of big-budget 'entertainment'. So, this is a great movie, but I probably won't watch it again. James Franco is more fun in 'Spring Breakers' (2012)
