Empire -
A film rich with unforgettable imagery, killer lines and physical thrills.
|
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Its social conscience and deep concern with what it means to be human remains unspoiled.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Planet of the Apes is that rare film that will transcend all age and social groupings.
|
|
|
Time Out -
The enigma of the planet's history, juggled through Heston's humiliating experience of being studied as an interesting laboratory specimen by his ape captors, right down to his final startling rediscovery of civilisation, is quite beautifully sustained.

Slant Magazine -
Planet of the Apes became a blockbuster because it’s cannily crafted, in part, as a ripping adventure yarn, director Franklin Schaffner staging a long desert trek for survival by Taylor and his two surviving shipmates in the opening half-hour, a brilliant “hunt” sequence with gorillas pursuing the human brutes as targets and trophies (memorably enhanced by Jerry Goldsmith’s dissonant, percussive score), and a lengthy chase sequence where the escaped spaceman leaps and dodges past hairy denizens of church, museum, and marketplace.
