Planet of the Apes Review
by Jerry Saravia (Rating: 2.5/4)
I am not a huge fan of the original "Planet of the Apes" but I do recognize its place in pop culture history in its upfront look at civil rights and impending nuclear doom as told through a science-fiction scenario. Still, as a movie, it was entertaining...more

Planet of the Apes Review
by Homer Yen (Rating: C+)
On a distant planet, perhaps in another galaxy or in another dimension, apes have remarkably evolved to a superior state while Homo sapiens, oddly, are the animals. The human race has become a scourge. They are caged, prodded, displayed for amusement,...more

Planet of the Apes Review
by Ram Samudrala
/Planet of the Apes/ is a cult film. The numerous references to it in /The Simpsons/ (which is a cult TV show) alone qualify it as such, but the original film, based on the novel /Monkey Planet/ by Pierre Boulle and released in 1968, has also spawned...more

Planet of the Apes Review
by Mark O'Hara
The ending of Tim Burton’s PLANET OF THE APES is one that I like. Because I enjoy pondering the details of almost any film I’ve seen, this original divergence from Pierre Boulle’s novel – as well as from the 1968 Charlton Heston vehicle – is fascinating,...more

Planet of the Apes Review
by Mark R. Leeper (Rating: 4/10)
CAPSULE: The much anticipated re-adaptation of the Pierre Boulle novel comes to the screen as a dark and a little dreary film with lots of chases and fighting, but very little intelligence. Visually there is much to like about this...more

Planet of the Apes Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 2/4)
There's a whole lotta gruntin' goin' on as actors in ape suits overact with a vengeance in Tim Burton's remake of PLANET OF THE APES, his BATTLEFIELD EARTH. Both films suffer from poor character development and dopey dialog. Although PLANET OF THE APES...more

Planet of the Apes Review
by Jon Popick
As cheesy as the original Planet of the Apes film is, it sets a pretty high cinematic bar. It'd be easy to outdo the special effects and best the acting, but tackling the infamous Statue of Liberty ending is an entirely different story. Duplicating or...more
