As I recall Serling's name appears as the credits roll on the original film. In retrospect that movie had the 'feel' of an extended Twilight Zone episode. Perhaps, the best ever Twilight Zone. Particularly in that last scene that ended the movie.
The franchise does present an unpleasant upside-down world where different species, man versus ape, compete to dominate the planet.
I watched the first of the 21st century reboot of the series with James Franco. The second movie I've started to watch, became disinterested and looked for something 'better'. I guess I'm just not on board with this whole ape versus man thing.
