Yea, Planet of the Apes is a great science fiction movie. I sorta envy PorkSoda's ability to go into it not knowing the ending, which is one of the great twist endings of all-time.
It's like a theatrical length, higher budget episode of The Twilight Zone. In fact, Rod Serling wrote the screenplay.
I don't know how much influence he had on the story/ending, but it definitely bears his mark.
