what ever happen to one of the most innovative and brilliant storyteller of our time . well and he make the kind of typical summer action fodder that could have be direct by anybody available out of film school . and in fact and they probably would have do a good job . they would have at least have put half of a thought into the dreadful script . mark wahlberg play an astronaut who travel through some sort of wormhole and land in a planet rule by ape . ( gasp . ) except this time around and the ape squirm through groan worthy dialogue and nonsensical plotting and and showy special effect that constantly reinforce in my mind that this money could have be put to about 10 independent film that would have be consider amasterpiece next to this tripe . as much a i enjoy the superb act talent that be tim roth and his performance a evil ape leader thade be nothing more than an intense composition of slouch and heavy breathing . luckily for him and the makeup allow he a an actor to maintain some dignity and most of the crap dialogue be hide behind his groan and sniffle . and ala and the always dependable hollywood tradition of take the male and female lead and hook them up at the end without any relationship development or cause . and the haha and be so clever and aren not we . way that hollywood intermingles reference from the original pota into this one . sigh . instead of see this and spend the night in and call up some friend and rent ed wood and edward scissorhands and batman and or even to a less extent sleepy hollow and and reminisce about the day when tim burton be a man of vision and originality . not shame and ridicule .
