  The original Planet of the Apes films are a pillar of science fiction and the ending of this film is one of the greatest twists in cinematic history

  Planet of the Apes came out 58 years ago, it touches on classism, human nature, religion, and slavery, and somehow manages to hold up, and still mirror our world in 2026.

  This movie is such a masterpiece. Granted, it’s a very dated for younger audiences, but older ones know how classic this movie is. It has a great story and iconic moments. Even if the title is pretty laughable, it’s still an iconic movie that’s still remembered for years and years to come.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCh2h6PuFuU&amp;t=3600">1:00:00</a> Actually, the message of the movie was &quot;Nuclear WAR bad&quot;, since that was what Taylor was implying when he said &quot;You really went and did it&quot;.

  I was seven when this was in theaters, but I saw it on TV not long after. Had no clue that it was going to be on Earth, and the ending absolutely blew my mind.

  Before Star War, before Transformers, before Harry potter, MCU, anime. We had the Planet of the Apes

  Don’t forget when the movie was made American school children were doing drills for when the US was hit by a nuclear bomb. That’s why the ending was so blunt.

  I am old enough to have seen this when it first cane out. It was considered innovative,powerful, and somewhat revolutionary. I had no idea that he was in earth. &nbsp;The reveal was a definite &quot;wow&quot; moment. One of my all-time favorite classics.

  I was around 14 at the time I saw this. &nbsp;It was a complete shock and I still get emotional seeing Lady Liberty at the end.
