A pathetic plot, a weak script, and a very unconvincing Mark Wahlberg in the lead role provide for a wasted opportunity, especially considering that the makeup effects by Rick Baker are truly outstanding. If you want a good reboot/remake, seek out the 2011 version and its 2 sequels....

Yeah... pretty poor.

I didn't even know this existed until a week or so ago. Gotta be frustrating for all involved that they were in a remake/reboot of 1968's <em>'Planet of the Apes'</em> that wasn't the 2011 version. This one walked so that one could fly etc.

This is much more of a straight remake of the original 1968 version that certainly benefits from superior visual effects and animatronics, but otherwise is really quite stodgy and sterile. Mark Wahlberg is the astronaut "Leo" who finds himself stranded on a planet that is dominated by apes that can speak. Just like their human relatives, the Simian community is facing a war. The more benign, cleverer, chimpanzees are facing a conflict with their more aggressive gorilla cousins led by "Thade" (Tim Roth). Luckily, "Leo" can count on the feisty assistance of "Ari" (Helena Bonham Carter) as they race their antagonists to a secret facility deep in the forbidden zone that could offer them a solution and reveal the nature of their past. Wahlberg is good in these action roles. He manages to keep t...
