Planet of the Apes

A classic allegory of religious indoctrination against truth and discovery, with added prosthetics. Could have been a Star Trek episode.

The storytelling and the make-up still stand up fairly well (could have been cut down into an episode of TNG, not just TOS...), but some of the pacing is a bit drawn out and unnatural, and the delivery of the line that's more famous than the film itself is out of focus.
