Planet of The Apes is a Tim Burton film. And, knowing that it is in Burton's habits to put spectacular and beautiful yet dark and mysterious images on film, I expected a "Planet of The Apes" with the same story than the original, but with a different perspective in the images. But I was somehow disappointed to see that, sure the images were nice, though not as amazing as "Edward Scissorhands"' or "Batman"'s, but the script seemed to have forgotten. The film lasts two hours, but you don't see them pass away, because you feel like nothing happens in the film, but everything is happening at the same time. The movie could be separated in like three chapters; The beginning, the core and the ending. That's it, no surprises, nothing special, except the images and Tim Roth's acting. This film wasted lots of potential interesting performances *Spoilers warning*(Kris Kristofferson doesn't even play a role, he only runs and die, and Helena Bonham Carter has a very hollow and empty role as an ape who has more feelings, and her feelings are so hard to see because of the limited facial expression due to the make up). Plus, they put Estella Warren wearing some kind of leaves made bikini, isn't that superficial and commercial? This is the first Tim Burton film that deceives me, and I hope it's the last one. This is a very good example of a movie which has special and make up effects as a structure. many people won't realize it, because they'll be fascinated by the images, but this blind attitude is exactly what the makers expected. Planet of The Apes is more a (commercial) vision of The Planet of The Apes by Tim Burton. It is not so identic to the original, I couldn't say it's a remake. The ending is good though, but is still pretty predictable. But really, you can't really get inside of the movie, because it is not attaching enough, all you can do is look at the images...I give it 4/10.
