An astronaut crew crash lands on a planet in the distant future where intelligent talking apes are the dominant species, and humans are the oppressed and enslaved.
Despite a naive premise an astoundingly profound sc-fi movie with a quite striking message (and shocking ending).
Halliwell ***: "Stylish, thoughtful science fiction which starts and finishes splendidly but suffers from a sag in the middle. The ape make-up is great."
Maltin ***1/2: "Intriguing, near-classic sci-fi....Only liabilities: somewhat familiar plot, self-conscious humor; otherwise a must-see."
