Title: Bitterly sorry I bought this
Review: I bought this set on a lark, having loved all of these movies as a 10 yr. old kid. Watching them as a 47 yr. old, I now realize that only the original 'Planet of the Apes' deserves an A+ and remains a sci-fi classic.I grade the 2nd-5th titles in this series as follows:2nd: C-3rd: D (But with a brilliant, haunting ending. Unfortunately it was not filmed particularly well.)4th: D+5th: DThe production budgets of these films decreased over time, from $16 million for the original, to way less than $2 million for the last one (see Wikipedia for more specifics) and boy does it show. The scripts for 2-5 make little sense and often contradict each other. If I had it to do over again, I would purchase only the original.
