Planet of the Apes [1968]

Planet of the Apes
Franklin J. Schaffner
4/7

So old that Charlton Heston reminds us of Troy McClure. Still, one kind of gets how novel it must have been back in the sixties. We’ve had so much scifi by now that most of us will happily eat time dilation for breakfastβ€”must have been mind blowing back then, what with all the acid and everything…

β€œIt’s very brown.”

In case you’re wondering, this is the first leg of the marathon.

PS: I like how the non-animated masks with the double set of teeth are still fresher than CGI from last year.
