Billed as a "reimagining" of the original 1968 film, Tim Burton's extraordinary Planet of the Apes constantly borders on greatness, adhering to the spirit of Pierre Boulle's original novel while exploring fresh and inventive ideas and paying honorable tribute to the '68 sci-fi classic. Burton's gifts for eccentric inspiration and visual ingenuity make this a movie that's as entertaining as it is provocative, beginning with Rick Baker's best-ever ape makeup (hand that man an Oscar®!), and continuing through the surprisingly nuanced performances and breathtaking production design. Add to all this an intelligent screenplay that turns Boulle's speculative reversal--the dominance of apes over humans--into a provocative study of civil rights and civil war. The film finally goes too far with a woefully misguided ending that pays weak homage to the original, but everything preceding that misfire is astonishingly right. While attempting the space-pod retrieval of a chimpanzee test pilot, Major Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) enters a magnetic storm that propels him into the distant future, where he crash-lands on the ape-ruled planet. Among the primitively civilized apes, treatment of enslaved humans is a divisive issue: senator's daughter Ari (Helena Bonham Carter) advocates equality while the ruthless General Thade (Tim Roth) promotes extermination. While Davidson ignites a human rebellion, this conflict is explored with admirable depth and emotion, and sharp dialogue allows Burton's exceptional cast to bring remarkable expressiveness to their embattled ape characters, most notably in the comic relief of orangutan slave trader Limbo (played to perfection by Paul Giamatti). Classic lines from the original film are cleverly reversed (including an unbilled cameo for Charlton Heston, in ape regalia as Thade's dying father), and while this tale of interspecies warfare leads to an ironic conclusion that's not altogether satisfying, it still bears the ripe fruit of a timeless what-if idea. --Jeff Shannon

An astronaut trying to retrieve a monkey in space ends up landing on a planet inhabited by talking human-like apes. Leo Davidson finds himself captured by the apes and placed in a cage with other humans. All the apes take this same 'human hating' attitude, with the exception of one. A kind, female ape called Ari sees something different in these humans, and plans to help them in whatever they need to do. The story the, direction equals perfect. I could not dream of a better movie to see. It was quiet unique about the story about how he traveled in time. And the end, it was quiet interasting how this movie ended, too. When it's good, it comes to being great.

This film is simply good entertainment, it is interesting, and the acting enjoyable, definately superior to the originals, however, the character interaction is not as well choreographed as the some of the originals were. This movie is worth watching for those afectionados that new the originals.

I like the way the apes and ape city were done. the story line could have gone on a little bit longer. the main reason i got the dvd was because of the apes. now if i just figure out how to get heston in the dvd it will be a great movie. even without him it was a good movie.

Here's a remake that is often silly, the ending is so far over the top it has skid marks, and Mark Wahlberg goes through every single scene with the same constipated grimace, yet I still had fun watching Tim Burton's version of PLANET OF THE APES. A little technology since the 1968 original goes a long way, including some dynamic special effects, and ape makeup that looks astonishingly real. (How does Helena Bonham Carter in full ape attire actually look good? I dunno.) Plus Burton lets his apes monkey around; they're actually jumping and screeching and doing stuff with their feet--not to mention some intimate grooming.
I don't know enough about the original story to know (or care) which version pays more homage; what I do know is if you can get past all the silliness (and the urge to hose down a greasy Kris Kristofferson) you will enjoy some actors mucking it up as apes, including a wickedly funny Paul Giamatti and a hulking Michael Clarke Duncan. Tim Roth plays the villain ape in primate evil fashion, while there's even a cameo by the great Charlton Heston himself, in, irony of ironies, ape makeup. No, PLANET OF THE APES will never make my Ten Best, yet Tim Burton's tongue-in-cheek tribute to the original is still pretty darn fun.
