Title Best
Planet of the Apes (1968)R4
   The Region 4 disc misses out on:
  • A "no-frills" cast list.
  • Alternative English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround audio track.
  • Alternative French Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround audio track.
  • Planet of the Apes web link.
   The Region 1 disc misses out on:
  • 16x9 enhancement.
    Reviews of the  Region 1 version are generally positive. The print used sounds like it was cleaner than our own and no reviewer mentioned aliasing or moiré effects. Edge enhancement was noted as was some minor pixelization. The audio appears to be inferior to our own. A lack of surround activity is commented on as is the dated fidelity of the sound. Given that the Region 1 disc is NTSC, is not 16x9 enhanced and that our audio track may be slightly better, Region 4 is the winner.
