Hollywood once made movies based on books and novels. Today they base movies on comic books and current social trends; no real story. The last theater I went to, years ago, was for a documentary.
I was ten when the movie came out in 1968, but I was in Japan before I arrived in California because my dad worked in the Navy. I finally watched this movie a year later in Coronado. It was good, and the shocking end intrigued me. 😮
Let us remember, the scene where Heston walks back to the Cryo chambers, is in a studio mock up, that is twice as big, as the ship we see in the lake, after landing in the water... I agree that it looks very spacious inside, as he walks back...
I do not remember my age when I first saw this movie (and it may have been on TV)... I was born in '60, and it looks like you were born around '59...$0.50 sounds about right for the late 60s... One particular recollection about going to my local movie theatre in the late 60s was that they would play gladiator movies (I would fashion the finished popcorn cup as a gladiator bracelet) and even late 50s movies - for example, the '59 movie, "The Tingler", starring Vincent Price...in one scene, the "tingler" creature (lobster-like) was on the leg of a person in a movie theatre - so perhaps you could imagine how that made me feel (at 8-9 years old) being IN a movie theatre watching this!... I love the 60s - if God could transport me back in time (even at age ~64), the 60s would be fine for me...short haircut, bell bottoms, apache ties, and all✌️…it sounds like you might want to go, too…I can save you a seat🙂...
Some trivia - Pierre Boulle wrote the novel 'Planet of the Apes' - (original translation - 'Monkey Planet'). Boulle was in French Indochina (Vietnam Laos, and Cambodia) at the start of WWII. France had been quickly defeated by Germany and the Japanese took French Indochina. It seemed like the Axis would win the war in mid-1941 with the Germans driving hard on Moscow and would meet the Japanese somewhere in West Asia. 'Monkey Planet' was an allegory about what the world would be like if this had happened. He also wrote the novel - 'Le Pont de la riviere Kwai' - which was also made into a very successful movie, in English - 'The Bridge over the River Kwai' - winner of 7 Academy Awards.
If you notice that in this Intro in a little over 2 minutes the Earth aged 3 days. One the greatest intros in Movie History and the One and Only Mr.Charlton Heston one the greatest Actors in Movie History can Deliver it..
Stubs out cigar on female astronaut's cryopod. Arrives at destination to find there's been an air leak in female astronaut's cryopod & she didn't make it. Oops.
The original Planet of the Apes was so good. No stupid time warps or anything like that, just traveling close to the speed of light, undergoing time dilation. It was a one-way trip. But one woman to be their "Eve"? That poor lady! Why not send four women and a lot of frozen sperm? That mission was screwed from the get-go. It had "failure" written all over it.
Yeah, plus going that far into the future is crazy. Maybe the Earth blew up like Alderan in Star Wars. Just chunks of rock floating around. Then what? No clue what the planet would be like or even if it's inhabitable for humans. Many of the reasons why this is still a great movie.
I never noticed before in his speech, he said "one more hour" before reaching Earth. If that's the case, why go into hybernation? You can't stay awake for one more hour????
He states about tucking his crew in for the long sleep and “I will be joining them.” My guess is they stayed awake for the first 6 months, or at least he did, and they were to sleep for the remaining time. The total ship time was 18 months, so he was asleep for another year ship time.
Hilarious, the cigar and 1972 as the launch date of the “starship” and the funky seat belts. I also like the rushing sound of air, like their in an airliner vs a space craft …in space.
After 700 years of elapsed time on earth, what if a second expedition was sent and that team had a vessel that moved FTL, or utilized wormholes or could fold space? They could then arrive at the destination of the first crew before they could get there. Which then begs the question, why leave in the first place?
... because a second expedition was NOT sent with a vessel that moved FTL. What a stupid question. "What if X happened? If so, then the film is impossible!" - X didn't happen.
@@archangelmikhael4851 It's not a thought experiment. there's no maths, no predictions, nothing to test. It is by definition very much NOT a thought experiment. It's brain waffle from someone who has no grasp of science, let alone physics. You don't even know what "experiment" means ffs.
Everyone smoked back then. I mean like alot of the population. I tried but thank God , I did not like it and stayed away from cigarettes. That movie cost 35 cents to see in 1968 at a Saturday Matinee. Still remember going. Loved the sound of the Carbines, it made the film seem like it Was in the Future.
if they turn around and go back same speed will they go back in time ........classic movie I saw it at the indiana theater in bloomington in. when I was 11 ..........wow
No... This matter has been discussed at length, on various YT channels... The effect known as ' time jump '... is something like a MOBIUS BAND or MOBIUS STRIP ( check on google )... When Taylor's ship took off from Cape Kennedy, it hit ONE side of the Mobius Band, and went forward in time to arrive at Earth in the future... When the 3 Apes took off in Brent's 3 man ship ( in the Escape film ) the ship hit the OTHER side of the Mobius Band, and went BACK in time, to Earth, but arrived back at the California coastline, just a little bit later than when Taylor took off... Hope this makes sense... It can be complicated...!
Not to mention he just stashes it in his spacesuit without putting it out before going into hibernation, yet somehow HE is one of the survivors. Lol, it was a different time back then that’s for sure.
Yes, like other comments, it was really strange to see him smoking in a spaceship. Just goes to show how far the ad industry and the smoking industry influenced the movie industry
I was in middle school when I saw this movie in an overseas military base theater filled with noisy GIs during the Vietnam war. The theater went quiet when Taylor asked "does man still make war against his brother - and keep his neighbors children starving..." Its unfortunate those words are just as true today.
This opening scene changed my whole outlook on the majesty of our universe. This 1ST eye opening event was when I came across Time Life Book the volume covered Nature And Astronomy. When I got to the Astronomy section, I came across an artist's of the various star systems such as Beta Lyrae Zeta Cancri and R W Persie. I didn't realize that various stars orbit in pairs or in threes. That and the opening scene from Planet Of The Apes opened my eyes. QUESTION: What special effects did they use to produce star vision?
Yes, I agree that this opening scene is amazing and iconic... I have tried to discover how they showed the stars zooming past the windows, but with little success... I have worked in optical industry, and I think it was done this way... They placed a filter in front of the 2 windows, and had red, white, and blue light bulbs fixed to wires which rolled past the filter, creating the star effects in different colours... The appearance of the stars gliding past, suggested the spacecraft was travelling at nearly Light Speed... A wonderful idea, considering how long ago it was made in the studio... Hope this explains it...
@@THETexxStarr This is both ignorant and dangerous. Percent oxygen is around 21%. Air is mostly nitrogen, which is inert for humans having a triple bond. Take my college chemistry class.
Taylor was also name of the Fight leader of Flight 19 (FIVE Avenger Torpedo Bombers) that vanished in the Bermuda Triangle in December 1945..Interesting.
Hey, JoBlo, could you do the opening credits of Planet of the Apes 1968, please ? This is just the intro with George Taylor speaking and then, it stops when the opening credits were starting.
I wonder if that close up of the digital date/time readouts was magnified for this YT segment, as it show a surprisingly cheap and cheesy level of set construction. But great movie regardless.
"Tell me, though. Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother? Keep his neighbor's children starving?" 2024 and yes we still do both these things. Intent on death and destruction of his own species and others.
Hey we’re making the console for the spaceship. What controls do you want on it? . Ahh none. Just a BIG clock. With REALLY BIG LETTERS so you know which one is earth and which one is the ship. Make it so big, that it looks silly when you’re sitting next to it. But angled so it can’t be seen from the rest of the ship. . Okay. What year should we put the launch date? . Um. Make it 1972. That’s so far in the future, I’m sure we will have interstellar space flights by then.
"But according to Dr. Hasslein theory of time in a vehicle traveling at close to the speed of light." This is why someone with a science background should review Sci-Fi scripts. It should have been "According to Einstein's theory of special relativity..."
@@AdAstraCan Probably because we'll meet Dr. Hasslein (first name Otto) in "Escape from the Planet of the Apes." Somebody didn't want to rule out a sequel. Or several sequels, since "Escape" is the third movie in the original series, with "Conquest" and "Battle" to follow.
@@tareklegrand7747 Yes, we saw Brent and Skipper Maddox, in the wreckage of the ' rescue ship ' ..... In order that the 3 Apes could escape in the 3rd film, it has been suggested that Brent piloted one ship, which landed successfully, and Skipper Maddox was in the 3rd ship, which burst into flames on landing...
Even better if 700 years had passed why in the world would they have sent a second expedition to search for the fate of the first expedition (Beneath the Planet of the Apes)?
I am not sure we watched the same film beneath the planet of the apes. That ship was sent after they did not return after 6 months. It is the same technology and Brent recognized NY elements. If he was 700 year in the future and returned to earth he wouldn’t be familiar with NY of the 20th century. I think the rescue mission was because the politicians and the public demanded a rescue not understanding or wanting to understand that even if Taylor mission had went perfectly he wouldn’t return in Their lifetimes.
@@paulpenne2799 Perhaps ANSA (not NASA!) expected the Liberty 1 (or Icarus) to slingshot back to Earth and its own time...and when it didn't, it sent the Skipper (Donovan Maddox) and John Brent to determine what had happened. (The script for "Beneath" basically says that it was a two-person mission. There doesn't seem to have been an Eve for them as there was for Taylor, Landon and Dodge.) In some ways, the movies are like Sherlock Holmes for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: the creators returned to them, but didn't seem to care about consistency, right down to the fact that the computer/clock says "3978" in "Planet of the Apes" and Brent tells the Skipper that they're in "3955" in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes." Then again, by my reckoning, we're actually in 2002 or in 2003 in "2001: A Space Odyssey" (a TMA photo has "02/12/01") and the Discovery goes on its trip to Jupiter "eighteen months later." But to rewrite Taylor, "that way lies the madhouse...the madhouse!"
The good old days, when you could smoke in space.
A cigar no less! Those got banned on airplanes back in 1976!
Those were the days, cigars in space 😂
Lol exactly
No negative effect whatsoever on air filtration and recirculation.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Wish they still made movies like this.

Even better if 700 years had passed why in the world would they have sent a second expedition to search for the fate of the first expedition (Beneath the Planet of the Apes)?
I am not sure we watched the same film beneath the planet of the apes. That ship was sent after they did not return after 6 months. It is the same technology and Brent recognized NY elements. If he was 700 year in the future and returned to earth he wouldn’t be familiar with NY of the 20th century. I think the rescue mission was because the politicians and the public demanded a rescue not understanding or wanting to understand that even if Taylor mission had went perfectly he wouldn’t return in Their lifetimes.
@@paulpenne2799 Perhaps ANSA (not NASA!) expected the Liberty 1 (or Icarus) to slingshot back to Earth and its own time...and when it didn't, it sent the Skipper (Donovan Maddox) and John Brent to determine what had happened. (The script for "Beneath" basically says that it was a two-person mission. There doesn't seem to have been an Eve for them as there was for Taylor, Landon and Dodge.) In some ways, the movies are like Sherlock Holmes for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: the creators returned to them, but didn't seem to care about consistency, right down to the fact that the computer/clock says "3978" in "Planet of the Apes" and Brent tells the Skipper that they're in "3955" in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes."
Then again, by my reckoning, we're actually in 2002 or in 2003 in "2001: A Space Odyssey" (a TMA photo has "02/12/01") and the Discovery goes on its trip to Jupiter "eighteen months later." But to rewrite Taylor, "that way lies the madhouse...the madhouse!"
Fantastic film....I watched it as a kid....and the 🦍 's scared the "H" out of me....invade...invade.....INVADE!!!
Classic
