2018 - 50th Anniversary Edition!
This review is for the new 2018 - 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray. First of all, the new cover with Cornelius is just a slip on cardboard cover over the 2014 Blu-Ray. The only new feature is available when you download the digital version for streaming on your computer or phone, I haven't done that yet.The extra features include 2 commentary tracks, one by Jerry Goldsmith and a separate one with Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Natalie Trundy and John Chambers. There's also a "Text Commentary Track" by Eric Greene, author of "Planet of the Apes as American Myth".The feature length (118 minute feature), "Behind the Planet of the Apes" documentary, hosted by Roddy McDowall.-Science of the Apes - BonusView*-Evolution of the Apes-Impact of the Apes-Archives of the Apes (original make up test)-Galleries of the Apes-"Beyond the Forbidden Zone" GameIf you already own the 2014 edition or the 2014 box set, DON'T BUY this version!!! It's simply a repackaged version of that one. I on the other hand didn't own POTA on Blu-ray and at $8, it was quite a bargain! I give it 5 stars.

That's true both in terms of the sequels (Beneath, Escape, Conquest, Battle) as well as compared to the Tim Burton remake.
A groundbreaking film (it won an Oscar for best makeup before there was even such a category), I can only imagine the audience's reaction in theaters at the film's final reveal!
Just one question: How in the name of all that is good was this film rated G? I know the ratings system has changed over the years, but even the classic line, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" should have bumped it up to PG, no?
Charlton Heston was at his best in the "last man" role, and is perfect here. (creepy laugh and all) And was there a more beautiful woman in 1968 than Linda Harrison (Nova)? She had been a beauty pageant winner and runner-up in the 1965 Miss USA. She must not have spoken well or else surely she would have found more work in Hollywood.
I've been tempted to purchase the 6-disc collection, although it can be had for quite a bit cheaper on the UK amazon, where it's called the The Planet of the Apes Collection (6 Disk Box Set). In the meantime, the one I'm reviewing is the one to have. It comes with three commentaries so I can't understand why anyone would pay more than twice as much for the more recent 35th Anniversary Edition:

Personally, I had to order the DVD version of "Planet of the Apes" because the Blu-ray version of the first movie had a serious technical glitch and that it frustrated me when the near conclusion of the film got frozen on screen and that there was almost no other way to deactivate my Blu-ray player but by UNPLUGGING it. Other than that, the special features on the Blu-ray version were NOT effected at all. As for the DVD version of "Apes," so far I did NOT find any technical glitches and it turned out well in the end. I just hope that the DVD version of the first film stays that way and with no problems as well.

I have loved this film ever since I was a child, and I have to tell you that out of all the various editions I have of it, without a doubt, this Blu Ray edition is the greatest one there is! The colors, details, contrast, and sound are EXCELLENT! In fact, they have done such a beautiful job on this Blu Ray that it was literally like watching it for the first time, it's literally NEVER looked or sounded better, and I could have just cried at how beautiful it is! If you like this movie or are even just curious about it, get this edition, trust me you won't be sorry you did!

20th century fox have reissued the original charlton Heston classic on blu-ray again
the HD transfer & 5.1 master mix plus all the special features i mean hours & hours worth of extras
all the commnatry tracks & the Documentaries & featurettes
have been carried over to this new 2014 reissue so this new reissue has the exact same content as the old 2008 blu-ray
the HD transfer is the same as the 2008 transfer so the only difference is the sleeve artwork
so whether you buy this new 2014 reissue or just keep the old 2008 blu-ray
makes no difference at all both versions have the same content
i personally prefer the old 2008 sleeve artwork than this new 2014 artwork
so i'll be keeping my 2008 blu-ray version, but it's personal preference really
5 stars for both 2014 & 2008 blu-ray versions

Planet of the Apes ('68) has never looked as great as it does now on blu. The extras are mainly those which had appeared on previous dvd versions- except for the fun trivia game (in which each correct or incorrect answer sends you along a little landscape akin to a board game layout). The outtakes are fascinating, though I wish the folks at Fox could dig-up the missing scenes (SPOILERS: Zira announcing Nova's pregnancy; Cornelius telling gorilla troops that Taylor and Nova have a rare disease when fleeing by wagon to the Forbidden Zone) which have never been made available. But the movie looks superb, and the sound (such as the dialogue, sound effects and Jerry Goldsmith's eerie score) is terrific.
