  • "...[Roth gives] a performance of gnashing wit and ferocity....The apes in PLANET OF THE APES have character....The movie is all but destined to become Burton's second hit in a row..."

    Not for the impatient

    A terrible remake that is annoying from start to finish. The beginning is especially annoying when the crew of space ship feel it necessary to investigate an enourmous electromagnetic storm cloud - BUT WHY?

    The thing was like a badly made Star Trek episode with a bit of Lord of The Rings element (armies of apes vs humans in the desert).

    Avoid

    This is a poor attempt at remaking what is one of the all-time great science-fiction movies. The makeup and effects are better of course, but the changes in the storyline seem to have totally lost the point of the original film. If you have never seen the original then I would highly recommend watching that first and then form your own oppinion - don't let this film ruin it for you!

    Things are working out for Mark Wahlberg. His last three movies have done very nicely, thanks, at the box office, with decent reviews to match. Entourage, the HBO show he helped put together, and which is based on his own experience as an up-and-comer in Hollywood, is still riding high in the ratings. And then he took a supporting role to work with Martin Scorsese in The Departed and stole away with an Academy Award - which is more than his old Basketball Diaries pal Leonardo DiCaprio has...
