1. Planet of the Apes (2001)
- www.moria.co.nz
- PLANET OF THE APES Rating: USA. ...
- He soon finds himself hunted and then captured by talking apes who regard humans as no more than animals. ... He organizes a breakout and along with Ari and several other humans heads into the desert to rendezvous with his rescue ship in the forbidden area that the apes regard as their place of origin. ...
- Planet of the Apes (1968) is one of the real classics of the sf genre. ... It produced four sequels - Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) - but unlike almost any other multi-sequel franchise these were not copycat sequels but ones that the series elaborated out into an extraordinarily inventive future history. There were also two tv series, both short lived - one live-action Planet of the Apes (1974) and the all-but-forgotten animated series Return to the Planet of the Apes (1975) - as well as various novelizations and a long-running Marvel comic book. ...
- Certainly of all the directors whose hands Planet of the Apes passed through, Burton’s are the ones that this author is the happiest that it ended up landing in. ...
- Burton has also recreated the original as a large-scale action film with visually dazzling climactic sequences featuring clashing armies of massed apes and humans. ... To this extent Burton has employed Rick Baker who is widely acknowledged as Hollywood’s premiere ape expert, having created the apes in the likes of King Kong (1976), Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988) and Mighty Joe Young (1998). ... There’s both an amazing fluidity to the expressions on his apes’ faces and great versatility to the variety of designs. ... The film also makes the apes a lot more ape-like than the original - where they swing, hang upside down, run on all fours, conduct amazing leaps thirty feet through the air, and we even see Helena Bonham Carter writing with her feet. ...
- This Planet of the Apes is similar but not the same story as the original. Certainly the story follows the original along all the same paths and touches most points - astronaut(s) go through a time warp, crash in a lake on an alien planet, the introduction of the apes during a ferocious hunt and capture of humans, the hero being taken in by an eccentric chimp scientist, the militant gorilla general, the escape into the desert wasteland of The Forbidden Zone wherein lies evidence of once human superiority over the apes, and a twist ending tying it all to Earth’s past. ... As Mark Wahlberg is captured the gorilla’s line is “Get your stinking hands off me, you damned dirty human!”, a variation on the first words that Charlton Heston speaks in front of the apes in the original: “Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” Linda Harrison, the original Nova, turns up as one of the prisoners in a cage, although the most amusing reference is Charlton Heston’s appearance as Tim Roth’s father, the ape leader, whose dying words are his classic final line from the original: “Damn you. ...
- Of course there are some crucial areas where Planet of the Apes 01 is different. The humans on the planet now speak and the apes no longer wield guns. ... Burton certainly embellishes the pictures of apes mirroring human behaviour, padding out the background of the ape culture a good deal more with images of apes gambling, begging, ape teenagers hanging out and listening to music, Lisa Marie’s chimp doing a seductive dance in a negligee, even an ape with a human on the end of an organ grinder. ... Where the original engaged on a level of barbed social satire where apes were used to mirror and savagely indict the human condition, here we merely have a series of vignettes dominated by Burton-esque quirky eccentricity. ... He’s completely upstaged the whole way by the apes - especially Helena Bonham Carter’s chirpily eccentric variation on Kim Hunter’s performance in the original (the character that naturally Burton has the most sympathy for). In complete contrast Rod Serling’s dialogue gave the usually wooden Heston a much better opportunity to shine and Planet of the Apes 68 is probably one of his best screen performances. Planet of the Apes 01 is by no means a bad film - it is just one that operates wholly on the level of action adventure and never engages on the level of ideas. ...

- *Planet of the Apes* as American Myth.
- Compelling case study considers Planet of the Apes films as racial allegory.
- A lively exploration of the Planet of the Apes films as racial allegory. In 1968, Planet of the Apes became a megahit movie both in the US and abroad, inspiring four film sequels, two TV series, several comic series, and hundreds of millions of dollars in worldwide merchandising. The Apes films confronted some of the most controversial issues of the time, including Vietnam and the Black Power movement, all the while remaining crowd pleasing box office hits. Eric Greene uses rare photographs, transcripts, and extensive interviews with the writers, directors, actors, and producers to read the Apes saga as a profoundly American myth. ...

- The Great Apes Fast facts on these amazing animals by Holly Hartman .
- There are four kinds of great apes: gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos. ... Some scientists think that humans should be considered great apes, too. ... Ape or Monkey? Apes are not monkeys. Apes are larger, have fewer young (and spend a longer time raising them), spend more time upright, and depend more on their eyes than on their noses. And unlike monkeys, apes do not have tails. But the most important difference is that apes are more intelligent than monkeys. Their brains are larger and more developed, and apes can learn and pass along information. ... But great apes are born helpless and must be carefully nurtured by their mothers. ...

- Planet of the Apes is a cult film. ...
- When Pericles disappears, Davidson defies orders and goes after it and crash lands on a planet where apes are at the top of the food chain and humans function as their slaves. ...
- , when Davidson's mother ship first goes into the wormhole, it ends up in a past earth leading to a completely different kind of evolution (and thereby wiping out the existence of the current Earth---paradox accepted) ultimately leading to the planet of the apes, and Davidson simply "returns" to a future earth where he discovers his fight has been vain (this would be colinear with the vision of the original film). ...

- Temporal Anomalies in Time Travel Movies unravels Planet of the Apes .
- This is not seen in the film; however, it does appear that the phenomenon displaces its victims both temporally and spatially, that is, it is clear that Oberon is not anywhere near the planet of the apes (which we will henceforth call Apeland for lack of a better name). ...
- Centuries pass, the apes advance at a remarkable rate and develop an incredibly high level of technology (metallurgy) in a relatively short time, and society falls into its established patterns. ...
- He is immediately captured by the apes, persuades one of the female chimps to help him, recovers some of his gear from the pod, and picks up the signal from Oberon. ...
- His arrival seems to many of the apes first like the Second Coming of Christ and then like the proof that their faith has been a lie; but it ends the battle. ...
- He has access to all the technology of Oberon, and the religious taboos that for centuries kept apes away from it have fallen. ...
- We might think that as the apes of Earth take over they might make some effort to contact their kin on Apeland; they must have known there were other apes in the universe, for their revered Thane was one of these. But the technology of the apes in Washington does not seem significantly beyond ours of today. ... The rise of apes to power seems to have slowed development, such that they are not significantly advanced beyond what they had when Thane arrived (and perhaps less so--there were no fighter intercepts scrambled or missiles fired to destroy the incoming unidentified aircraft which threatened restricted airspace in Washington, D. ... So it may be that Earth apes will not soon develop space travel sufficiently to visit Apeland. ...
- It would seem that although there are some places in which a disaster might happen, the limited time travel in Planet of the Apes sets up some benign if complicated interlocking N-jumps. ...

- Lee Thompson (CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES), BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES has an impressive cast. ...
- He recounts the events that occurred in ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES and CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, then goes on to tell the story that makes up the bulk of this movie. ... " As he begins the story, we suddenly see a gorilla horseback rider as the title credits and the opening score by Leonard Rosenman (BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES) plays. ...
- Apparently Abe has been recruited to teach the Apes language, reading, and writing. After the events in CONQUEST and also in this film, the humans have become servants to the Apes. ... This action on the part of Aldo greatly upsets the teacher and he speaks the forbidden word humans must not speak to Apes. ...

- Bobby Porter (Cornelius) also appeared on the Apes TV series. ...
- The Makeup: While the number of Apes in the film is rather small, the makeup work is still fantastic, especially given the film's budget. ...
- The Ending: The film ends in such a way that it combines all the films into a true series, as the roots are laid in this film for BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES in particular. ...
- I do feel however that they were more memorable and entertaining than the mutants in BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES.

This DVD like the others I've mentioned comes in the boxed set which includes the excellent documentary "Behind the Planet of the Apes" (Unfortunately the boxed set version is only one disc, and there's also a two-disc version of "Behind" out there).
- BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES I suspect could have been much more entertaining with an higher budget. ...
