Nothing says "A swingin' good time" like a Planet of the Apes marathon, and come Nov. 4 you'll be able to watch all that monkey madness in Blu-ray when 20th Century Fox releases its Planet of the Apes: 40-Year Evolution disc set. Each Apes film will be presented in widescreen 2.35:1 1080p video and newly remastered 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. Like any good disc set, this one comes with a crapload of extras: • Eight extra minutes of footage in the unrated version of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes • Beyond the Forbidden Zone Adventure Game • Science of the Apes: scientists, anthropologists and sociologists discuss the first film • Evolution of the Apes: HD featurette that traces how the Planet of the Apes went from book to screen • Impact of the Apes: HD featurette about how the story became a pop culture phenomenon • HD "Making of" features for each sequel • Commentary by composers, actors and make up artists. • A Behind the Planet of the Apes documentary • The original theatrical trailers • Behind the scenes galleries ... and much much more! The five disk set will retail for roughly $160. [The HD Room]
