FORMAT: 15/70mm CONDITION: ★★★★★ NOTES: Took me over a month to get to this point, as the film projector broke on opening day. Could have seen it in better condition, as there were a few occasions when hairs get stuck to the screen and there was a noticeable white patch on one frame early on, but this is among the best-looking digitally shot films on celluloid.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★ NOTES: Technicolor IB print of the Rankin-Bass dub, and despite being just five years younger than the former print it looks impressively preserved. It also suffers from significantly more trimmings than King Kong vs. Godzilla, going as far as to cut a line from Susan down to sound like she’s not just rejecting his offer to come along with her but rejecting a date, leaving the emotional blow Kong takes in the following shot feel even harder. It’s hilarious. Inevitably, the projector encountered a fault, seemingly because one of the reels hadn’t had two of its surviving frames spliced together. They got it back up and running several minutes later. DATE: April 2nd 2024 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★½ NOTES: Original UK release Technicolor IB print of the American bastardisation, which is very, very scratchy and has lost a ton of frames but not a single ounce of colour. Sat next to some men who had seen this film at a second-run cinema back in the day. DATE: April 2nd 2024 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Movies according to my dreams list

Taking place in a single back garden, the apes fight against Proximus Caesar's tyrannical rule, unbeknownst that they are in the presence of two cruel, imposing gods, one of which sounds like Jane Horrocks. The end of the world is nigh, and only do the apes discover that when the gods, sick of a world perverted by abominations and violence, decide to end it all. Every life form, not limited to the apes, their horses or the human slaves, crumbles, breaks apart and dissolves into nothingness. There is a particularly gruesome shot of the ape children, snow monkeys who look a lot cartoonier than their adult counterparts, breaking apart sixth by sixth into slices and dying, those slices crumbling into what look like fuse beads. A few minutes later, everyone is gone, and the earth is but a haven for all soil, greenery and water to thrive on its own.
