Planet of the Apes (2001)
Planet of the Morons
Terrible movie, plain and simple!
No character development (save for Ari) and even the main character Leo had nothing of interest to say. (Roth is fine as Thade but all he does is sniff and snarl)
Sure, the make-up is amazing but it's the 21st century for heavens sake, of course the make-up should be amazing.
Unfortunately the art of storytelling hasn't done too well in this new century.
The "CA-LI-MA" trick was a bad rif-off from "Star Trek: TMP" where they used V'ger!
And by the way, if, on this new planet, humans out-number the apes 4-1, why would this be a planet of the "Apes"?
** SPOILERS **
The basic premise of the movie that the space station crash lands thus giving rise to the planet of the "Apes" is ok but not exactly mind-blowing.
The D.C. ending is just stupid. It feels so "tacked on". And what a stroke of luck he managed to crash land right there too, we might have had to sit through another 20 mins of this rubbish if he didn't.
