Why, in the name of all things holy, do film cover designers and trailer editors consistently feel the need to give away literally all the important plot points? It's like they're all the sort of people who, when sitting in the cinema, loudly ask their partner, "WHY DID THAT THING JUST HAPPEN?"

But, c'est la vie. Planet of the Apes is, without a doubt, one of the finest classic sci-fi films. My dad wouldn't let me watch the others until I'd see this (I'm the age where the VHS of the Tim Burton version had just hit video stores and I desperately wanted to see it). While my kiddo self enjoyed the action-flickiness of Tim's version, it was completely forgettable. This is the one that haunted me.
