great film, the scene where Edward G Robinson is going back
through his life as he's dying, great stuff.

it's quite good, I quite like it. it get's a bit slow
towards the end.

features one of the alltime great lines of sci-fi and/or all
cinema.

the soundtrack is pretty good too - especially the credit
sequence works well because the music builds up quite
frantically (it shows in pictures how the world builds up
and becomes more and more industrial until we arrive at the
point of the film, with almost all natural resources used up
and the planet being completely over-populated).

I have it on dvd and the commentary track (with the director
and the lead actress) is pretty awful - the actress saying
how important this film still is blah blah blah.

this film is superb!! fantastic, and believable vision of
future dystopia.
Annoyingly it clashes with "The hustler" on bbc2.
There's been CRAP-ALL on tv all week, and then there's 2
quality films which clash with each other, after midnight on
a sunday- ffs!!!
Seen it a million times anyway...

Good flick. It'd never happen though... the government would
oestrogenise the water supply before it came to that sort of
situation.

I guessed the ending half-way thru :)

I noted it was based on a novel by Harry Harrison - his
Stainless Steel Rat novels are excllent!

I watched it, I thought it was cool. Its a shame the only
thing I new about it before I watched it was the ending.

qrter - what was the 'all time great line'?

"The Omega Man" used to be one of my faves

Charlton Heston has done some top films. It's a shame he's
such a weirdo in real life.
Does anyone remember him reading the "Cop Killer" lyrics -
ha ha ha, that was fucking class
DIE, DIE, DIE PIG, DIE

oh that's cool. i don't remember the score that well - it's
been a while since the last time i've seen the movie.

but i think planet of the apes is kind of a subversive film
with more layers than your average sci fi movie. i think a
lot of people dismiss it as people in monkey costumes doing
weird shit, but it actually has a message. i think it's
well-done.

and for the record, the extent to which i enjoy charlton
heston is limited strictly to these three films, A Touch Of
Evil, and not at all in real life.

in the seventies, there was a whole bunch of more or less
intelligent sci-fi picks, including "planet of the apes" and
"soylent green".
