I just bought the original Planet of the Apes on blu ray from Barnes and Noble along with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and a little independent film called Moon.
Does anyone else have one of these? How do you like them?

You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

aka PancakesMoon is absolutely amazing. Duncan Jones, the writer/director, is David Bowie's son. The Blu-Ray looks and sounds fantastic.
The Blu-Ray of CE3K looks amazing, as well, and includes all 3 versions to boot (take that, GL!).
I haven't seen Apes on BR, so I don't know how that one looks.
Sounds like you got a nice sci-fi collection there! Three of my favorites in high def all in one go...

Magister Pontifex MaximusYeah I have them all on DVD (CE3K and Planet Of The Apes I have a number of VHS tapes too).
As Ash says Moon is a lovely throwback to when Science Fiction films were more about mood and ideas than looks alone (though it does look good on such a small budget). It's not without flaws but you can cut it some slack.

Speaking of David Bowie, check out my avatar. Moon reminded me of some of the classic sci-fi films, I think part of it has to do with using the practical special effects.
Barnes and Noble had a buy two get one free thing going on, so I got POTA free. It's a bonus the cover doesn't give away the ending like the old DVD I had did.

It looks great. They have screenshots at blu-ray.com. There is also a good amount of bonus features.

How long is the B2G1 sale on? In store or just online?

It's in store. I'm not sure how long it lasts. I was there on the 19th, so that was last week. It could vary depending on where you live.

Well, everyone has different tastes and opinions, but what didn't you like about it?

of Earth.It's true- there's no accounting for taste. It just didn't grab me. I found it too obvious and dull, I guess. Maybe I said more about it when it wash fresh in my mind. Maybe I posted about it in the "Last Movie Seen (was Inception!)" thread, but I can't remember.
