4 Out Of 5.

Planet Of The Apes is a sci-fi plot driven feature that depicts a life changing experience of an explorer who has landed on an unknown land and probably among a known species. Despite of having such a wide range on the genre, very few of them gets it right and this is one of them and primary reason to that is the maturity and the ingenious approach towards that concept is what makes it stand alone. It is short on technical aspects like cinematography, production design and editing although is rich in costume design and background score and sound effects. The writing is strong and witty and isn't afraid to visit unexplored places with thought-provoking concept and a sense of urgency that keeps the audience engaged throughout the course of it. The adaptive screenplay by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling is gripping and smart as the various steps in an act just falls in fluently without any hesitation. Franklin J. Schaffner; the director, is in his A game and has pulled off one of the best sci-fi fictional feature that is abruptly evergreen in its self-created mythology. It is short on performance but in actors' defense there isn't much range provided for them to factor in, accordingly. Planet Of The Apes is a worth exploring land on terms of the craft that went into creating such a glorifying and adventurous experience that communicates immensely with the audience.
