Yeah, it was pretty rough when I watched it the other night. I was playing a game on my phone for over half the time. My dad told me he'd never seen it in it's entirety because he'd always fall asleep.
It has its share of creepy/eerie moments though. The apemen had an uncanny valley thing going before the uncanny valley was even a thing. HAL was great. I finally understood what this was talking about too.

I saw the movie when it came out. The special effects were awesome and set the standard.

Tbh it is rather a flat movie aside from having nice cinematography, set design and compelling effects for the day.
