“I liked the first movie with Charlton Heston.”

Well made and memorable, but also with a strong lefty message (anti-nuke, anti-human).

Yeah, but the surprise at the end sealed the deal. :)

I really like the first Matrix movie, a Christian allegory, but the follow ups sucked, other than special effects, which were pretty good.

This is one problem with sequels. Sometimes a story just has an end and any sequels have little to do with the point of the original.

I didn’t get the idea that nukes destroyed society. Otherwise, not even the apes would have been viable life forms. And even Taylor said that “they destroyed it (the Statue of Liberty/Society)”.

It was also about black and white relations.
It was one of the later sequels,when humans and apes started working together, that one of the laws was a human was never allowed to say the word “no” to an ape.

Well made and memorable, but also with a strong lefty message (anti-nuke, anti-human).

And extremely pro-macro-evolution, and sneers all around towards religion, especially the religious scholasticism of the middle ages.
