"Planet of the Apes" (1968) Watch Along (Patreon)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

OK i have some things to talk about below!! So if you haven't seen this then beware

🚨Spoilers Below! 🚨

Well! I am excited that I have now seen this original Sci-Fi classic! But I am a little irked with myself because I feel like the reveal was wasted on me because i have seen Rise/Dawn/War "Reboots". I actually forgot that they are alllllll PREQUELS! Until it dawned on me LOL Obviously!

All that being said! I really liked this movie! I thought it was really thought provoking and had a lot of themes to think on about our own society. I loved the makeup and the score and I felt like the pacing was really great! I can't even begin to imagine what this would of been like seeing in theatres in 1968! I reallllly want to see the rest of these original movies because I feel like they ought to be good! But you know me! I love Sci-fi!

Can someone please explain me to the space mission and why they landed back on earth!? I just figured that was what happened and they had been gone so long with everything that happened and thats why they didn't recognize it was earth?????Cause it got nuked?

I do think this is a like a Star Wars situation where you should ONLY watch these in the order which they are released. The prequels should NOT be watched first.

I am excited for Kingdom though! I think i will most likely enjoy it because I loved the reboots so much!

 Note * I have never seen the Mark Wahlberg 2001 version as well as the rest of the original POTA's from (1970-1972).

Thanks soo much for being here! I feel so much better and glad my lingering cough didn't take over the reaction!!!!!

Let me know alllll your thoughts down below!
