Planet of the Apes (Tim Burton 2001)

One of Tim Burton's best i think.
Particularly want to focus on the amazing make up for this film.
The make up artisits must have spent hours and hours adapting the look of an ape to bring subtle human aspects to it.
Brilliant work.
Love Helena Bonham Carter in it. She is good in every Burton film though.
The setting of the sort of community the apes live in is very Tim Burton. Not as quirky and as good as his previous work though. This might be just because this is a proper sci-fi film which can be a little different to Burton's main style of fantasy and the unusual.

Brilliant Protagonist in this film; Capt. Leo Davidson, played by Mark Wahlberg (a fine action/adventure actor to have in this film) I don't think anyone else could've played this character better than Wahlberg (controversial...)

I also just love the whole storyline. Especially the ending where it dawns on Capt. Davidson that he was on earth and it was completely taken over by apes.

This is of course a remake of the 1968 Plant of the Apes.
I am yet to see the original actually! I cannot wait to see it though. But this is an excellent Tim Burton film!
