I didn't expect this to be so critical of civilization, civil rights and racial conflict. Sadly, those themes are still relevant today but from today's lenses I thought the way everything unfolded was obvious and a little basic. It was still thought-provoking on many levels.

***Planet of the Apes*** looks pretty damn good for a 1968 movie and it has some quality cinematography (editing, camerawork, score, special effects craft and sets). The shuttle crash at the beginning was perhaps my favorite part visually. The characters are steriotypical but the interactions are very interesting. The courtroom drama was entertaining, nice action bits, some rough imagery and unpredictable kills, and I enjoyed the third act and ending. Curious to see where the story goes from here.
