Review of Planet of the Apes (1968) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 17 Feb 1991
One of those rare films whose historical impact outweighs its quality. It's a good film, but not a classic. Yet, although little more than a socially conscious, well executed science fiction adventure film, Planet of the Apes arrived in theaters at just the right time to capture the country's imagination.
