 For the Ape fan September 17, 2008
Loved the ape movies as a kid and the Planet of the Apes Legacy collection is awesome! If you're a fan I highly recommend this collection.
 Apes! September 4, 2008
This box set is interesting. Part 1 is a classic! Conquest was goofy "part 3 i think" Great price! 4 stars 4 the apes!
Excellent August 31, 2008
These are a lot of fun. I hadn't seen them since I was a little kid. They are great scifi and a fascinating commentary on our society and race and war and right and wrong. Be prepared; the second film is pretty odd. It does makes more sense once you see all of them.
 Buen Clasico August 25, 2008

Es todo un clasico de la Ciencia Ficcion, Las primeras dos peliculas son excelentes, el mundo al reves el shock que me traslada a la infancia del miedo que me daban los simios que dominaban y esclavisaban a los hombres, lo malos que eran!! Y en la tercera se puede ver cuando 3 simios llegan a nuentra epoca, que nosotros somos iguales o peor que ellos.
Las ultimas 2 peliculas me parecen muy malas, de relleno y de muy bajo presupuesto. Si la este boxset esta con un buen descuento (por encima del 50%) vale la pena comprarla, sino es mejor comprar solo la 1 y la 2 por separado.
Science Fiction Landmark August 17, 2008
40 years after its release, Planet of the Apes is still striking for its original soundtrack, impressive makeup and strong messages. While obviously born out of the doomsday mentality of the Cold War, many of the themes are still relevant today: the clash between science and religion, the merits/consequences of withholding information for the public good, and the destructive tendencies of mankind, to name just a few. In spite of the sometimes cheezy acting, we still get Charlton Heston's famous line - "Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"
After the first movie, the sequels go from bad to worse, and the premises go from far-fetched to utterly ridiculous but they are fun to watch (as long as you don't think too hard about the scientific explanations) and do a decent job of wrapping up a more complete explanation of how the apes rise, albeit with some crazy sidetracks. The sequels can be hard to find in video stores for purchase or rental so if you're going to go for it, you might as well own them all.
