That was an excellent one.

Sorry, this movie sucks

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

How do I put this lightly. . . . I loathe this movie with the entirety of my being.This isn't a Planet of the Apes movie. I can't just turn off my brain and enjoy a mindless "re-imagination" of one of the most thoughtful movies I've ever seen. Watching this movie made me feel physically sick. Writing about it made me feel physically sick. I was literally on the floor. I can't handle this movie. That being said, this movie isn't necessarily an assaulting kind of bad. Some will find entertainment value in it, at least it has a plot, and (generally) it has a nice aesthetic quality. But it's still bad.Tim Burton is someone who I have a lot of respect for. I think he's a fantastic filmmaker, and more blame belongs to the writers than anyone else on this project. Burton's hands however still aren't clean, and he's committed his fair share of offenses here. On the commentary he actually explains that apes make him uncomfortable (which would explain the apes' performances), and he gave the impression that he didn't want to direct the film in the first place. It shows.This is one of his weakest efforts in terms of direction. For example, we actually don't get to see all that much of the Ape City--only dimly lit, claustrophobic sets and homogenous formations can really be observed (though what we do see looks pretty good). We get a few wide shots, usually attached to other sets like the forest, adding a kind of close-knitness that detracts from its sense of scale. Making that issue worse, relatively little time is dedicated to travel, so even the military camps and the set from the battle scene don't feel very distant. This simply isn't the best effort Burton could have given, but was maybe the best we could've hoped for given the script.The screenplay for this film was written by William Broyles Jr., Lawrence Konner, & Mark Rosenthal, the last two of whom worked on such hits as Superman IV! Now, to the writers' credit, at least there's a plot for the most part, but that's about all I can praise them on (if that indeed counts as praise). I'm not really quite sure where to begin with the flaws actually. As I watched the film I started making a list of questions regarding anything that disregarded logic or broke my suspension of disbelief. I can only use so many words, so I guess I'll just post the list:Why send a baby chimpanzee into space? Or a chimp at all? Humans pulling the carriage instead of horses? Wild humans have the time and resources to curl and dye their hair? Where'd she get that 20th century hair dye? What's with the stoner apes? He's feisty? He just grabbed your leg on accident and looked at Thade all confused- like. Where were the doors in the houses? Why won't the humans talk? They're not mute so. . . . Why'd the one human signal not to talk, then? Do the apes not know they can talk somehow? They didn't seem surprised. If humans are lower on the evolutionary chain than monkeys, why can humans talk but not the monkeys? Are there talking monkeys we don't know about? Were there even any monkeys on the ship they came on? Considering the ship's population, they'd be really inbred by now right? How were the apes in that blast only stunned? Did they see the 1968 film? Did they even read the book? It's closer to the book, but still nowhere near it. Should have just called the movie something else, like: "Inbreeding: The Movie".A few other points: There's some almost-commentary on religion, but nothing that pans out. Any allegorical content is an afterthought at best. It's tonally unsure of itself: half wants to be taken seriously, half cartoon. Mark Wahlberg's character really just doesn't care, and is too blank to be relatable. The apes might be talking about something expository or of their interest, and then Leo just mentions something unrelated that pertains only to him. It's almost pleading you to assume character depth for it, but you don't because there isn't any. The apes in this movie are completely cartoonish, including their preposterous fear of water (maybe they can't swim because their prosthetics will fall off, as my sister observed).Mark Wahlberg and the Chimp are pretty damn cute, I'll give it that. Otherwise, Tim Roth is a cartoon. Paul Giamatti is a cartoon. Helena Bonham Carter is a cartoon. The humans are all bland. I suppose the actors are into it enough to pass as flamboyant caracachures. They sell it, but it's for the wrong movie. And I love Paul Giamatti. He doesn't belong in this movie, but I love him.The wirework is pretty bad. The CGI is fine. Though the sets and colors are nice. If there's one thing I can give Burton credit for it's for making a (generally) good-looking movie. The prosthetics for the most part actually look pretty good, sometimes as good as Chambers' work from the 1968 film. Some of the makeups look out-of-proportion or bizarre though, like stuff conceived on mutations or not-to-be-named perversions-- genuinely concerning designs.The score by Danny Elfman is simply fine. It's inoffensive, maybe slightly better than the average modern-age film score, but that's not really saying much. At least there's actually a melody (even if somewhat derivative of his Spider-Man score), and as bombastic and obnoxious as the drums are at least they have personality, though it's a far-cry from Elfman's best.This is not a Planet of the Apes film. It's a movie with apes in it, completely unrelated to Planet of the Apes. If you're a die-hard Planet of the Apes fan, maybe watch it once. Otherwise, seek out the 1968 film. Don't bother with this.Score: 3/10

Planet of the Apes, 2001.*Spoiler/plot- A modern exploratory black hole USAF station is using chimps to navigate around the through a black hole. One chimp is lost and his concerned trainer human follows the chip's spacecraft to only find a ape planet in civil war.*Special Stars- Mark Wahlber, DIR- Tim BUrton.*Theme- Exploration can involve time, history, and societies.*Trivia/location/goofs- Location: Planetary desert or 'Calima' was Trona Pinnacles, Ridgecrest CA and Lake . The background performers at the Trona Pinnacles area were poisoned when the film production decided to use crushed walnut shells instead of Fuller's Earth for desert dust storms. Several people got sick because of the allergies to walnut products and the production was shut-down for some days for safety of all. Look for Charlton Heston in this film playing General Thade's ancient father. Also the many famous lines and scenes appear in this film with many interesting Tim Burton twists.*Emotion- A lush and different plot from the earlier 20th Century Fox film franchise series. Very enjoyable and has some nice homages to the early film more brighter dialog and memorable scenes.*Based on- French author's Boule famous book.

The Planet Of The Apes is loosely based of the 1968 science fiction film of the same title that stars Charlton Heston and the 1963 French novel of the same title by Pierre Boulle.It stars Mark Wahlberg together with Helena Bonham Carter,Michael Clarke Duncan,Paul Giamatti,Estella Warren and Tim Burton,who also happens to be the film's director. The year was 2029.It involves a story of an astronaut named Leo Davidson whose spaceship crash-lands on a planet that are inhabited by apes who apparently have evolved to acquire human-like attributes like culture and intelligence.It was worth noticing that the apes have built a society and have treated humans as slaves.With the aid of Ari,Leo starts a revolution to overthrow the apes.The humans win and managed to overthrow the apes.It concludes when Leo going to the spaceship and traveling back in time and landing at Washington D.C. particularly at Lincoln Memorial wherein he witnesses a statue of General Thade instead of the late President and surprisingly a group of police,fire fighters and news reporters surrounding him. Aside from the improvement of the characters' make-up particularly the apes and the use of computers for special effects,the remake definitely is inferior compared to the original in many aspects of the film.The themes it covered was more about fight for freedom and rebellion rather than issues concerning the world today which the original covered such as the world's environment,possibility of a nuclear war and slavery.With it,it only fell trap into becoming just another Hollywood action flick instead of a film that is trying to convey an important message.Finally,the conclusion will only bring confusion as it was nowhere indicated in the story that its possibility would happen.
