If you like the Planet of the Apes movies from the late '60s and early '70s, then this six-disc collection is the most cost-effective way to get your Apes fix. When you figure shipping into the equation, it'll cost you about half what you'd pay for the movies individually, maybe even less. The real gem of the collection is "Behind the Planet of the Apes", a 1998 documentary made for the AMC channel to mark the 30th anniversary of the first film's release and to chronicle the making of the Apes movies. Thankfully, it was made shortly before Roddy MacDowall passed away, so his reminiscences are thus included. The inclusion of this disc makes up for the lack of substantive bonus features in the rest of the collection. Each disc includes which a small collection of behind-the-scenes and publicity stills for that particular film and the trailers for all five films. Not much of a value add there. Of the films themselves, there's not much to say. You either like them or you don't. And if you're considering acquiring this six-disc collection, chances are you like them quite well. The first film, Planet of the Apes, is by far the strongest. The second, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, is by far the weirdest. From there, it descends into low-budget campiness. The three later films, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle for the Planet of the Apes, each have their moments, but none can hold a candle to the original. And don't get me started about Tim Burton's 2002 remake. The bottom line: If you're into the old Planet of the Apes movies and you want the entire saga, this box set will give you the best bang for your buck, and the documentary disc is the icing on the cake. Otherwise, it may be a bit of overkill and you'd be better off getting just the discs you want.Vollständige Rezension lesen

The first Planet of the Apes is a great movie. But when you can watch ALL of them, it's even better. You get to watch the story from begining to end. After you finish watching all the movies you get to see what happened behind the scenes with Behind The Planet of the Apes. It's really cool to get to go back and see how they put this together. I personally always love watching how they put the make-up together on sci-fi movies. A bonus to an already good box set. I'm really glad that I bought the box set. I highly recommend it.
Come on .. what is to review. This is of the best movie series ever. Good quality video and sound. Trust seller. Thks Fred palmer
