![]() It may be the way the language came through in English translation from French, or just the overall vintage feel - or maybe just me.Īdmittedly, the wonky “science” in this “science fiction” takes a bit to get past, with some parts more difficult to ignore than others (ancestral human voice memories being more ridiculous than identical convergent evolution around Betelgeuse, even if we embrace the theory of Panspermia - seriously, Heston film made more sense there).īut science is not the point here, it seems. Written in 1963, Pierre Boulle’s Planet of the Apes does feel dated in science and attitudes - but to me it also had that older “classic” feel that reminded me of Jules Verne. That was the only thing from the entire film I still remember. I remember being seven or so and seeing the last scene of Planet of the Apes film (the old one with Charlton Heston) on my grandma’s TV. ![]()
