if there one thing that annoy me most in see a bad film and it see it do by experienced film maker who ought to know well . this re imagining of planet of the ape could have use some imagination and to say nothing of essential element of character development . nova and the girl in the original planet of the ape and be a good developed character than daena in this version and for all that she do not say a single word . one certainly expect a lot well from tim burton and a man who have hitherto combine an incredible visual imagination with intelligence and wit and humour and all of which be notably absent from this production . there be problem in basic plot development . the first big mistake be allow the human to talk . this be the fundamental difference between ape and men that make all the difference in the original film . even while he be mute and his ability to communicate be what mark out heston taylor a be different from the other human . in the current film and mark wahlberg encourage the ( talk ) human slave to revolt and but there be no overpower reason for them to have not revolt and reclaim their emancipation already . they be dexterous tool user and have the ability to communicate in order to form plan and something mute human can not do . it need no man to fall from the star to save them . indeed and since he come from a technological civilisation and find himself in a pre technology era without ( at first ) any gadget to help him and it be wahlberg who ought to be at a disadvantage and not the human who be use to live there . it be sad to see helena bonham carter work so hard to generate some kind of spark between herself and that unresponsive brick wall mark wahlberg . her best scene be with the villainous tim roth . the human be practically ignore until they be need in the third act and at which point daena start show some actual interest in davidson ( wahlberg ) and and a young boy suddenly change from part of the background to a feisty gung ho freedom fighter . this be poor character development . ( estella warren and in particular and look a if she would have be capable of a great deal more than she be give in the script ) . wahlberg puzzlement at the end a to what these human see in him be certainly share by me and a he have scarcely interact with the human throughout . create the ape represent half a plus point and two minus represent ape make up be excellent on the male and particularly michael clarke duncan who have incredibly expressive eye ( which be why he be so good in the green mile ) and and the makeup design allow him to use them fully . but the ape females look like nothing on earth and neither ape nor human . the minus be the ape jump which look about as realistic a flash gordon rocket represent jump ape look a if they would just be fire from a catapult and they have none of the long limbed grace of genuine ape . secondly and the poor sound mix when the gorilla roar it be quite clearly dub from some animal and probably feline and make them sound ridiculous and unrealistic . in the original film and the various human thing the ape do and say be handle a light relief ( i never know an ape i do not like . human see and human do . ) . here and the ape just talk matter of factly exactly a 21st century human do and and there be no humour in it at all . the only genuinely original idea be ari writing with her foot . nothing make me cringe more than the v ger from star trek moment near the end of the film . first of all and the ape have apparently be able to read roman letter in the distant past and for them to know the name of the forbidden zone in it partly conceal form . secondly and the mysterious inscription give the name be merely cover with sand which wahlberg just brush away and something any ape could have do century ago . this moment be and for me and far bad than the much malign end of the movie . thing of that nature and however and be typical of most science fiction movie of today . back in the 60 and 70 and they generally do not have the budget to make convincing futuristic set and but they deal with genuinely original theme and idea which be truly science fictional . i be think of 2001 represent a space odyssey and the 1967 planet of the ape and thx1138 and soylent green and silent running and the 1972 solaris . the first planet of the ape even utilise the only scientifically valid and physically possible method of travel forward in time . however and this film include just about every bad science fiction cliché go represent space storm and anomaly and worm hole straight out of star trek while the planet of the solar system and their moon apparently all visible together a large globe ( in reality from any one planet and all other body and even their own moon and be just point of light ) while a conventional rocket power shuttle travelling from saturn to earth in a matter of minute instead of year while two thousand year old equipment fire up and fully work the minute the hero press the button . to say nothing of a conveniently bulletproof internal glass door . in a contemporary setting and you would have to explain why it be bullet proof and but because it science fiction you do not have to . overall and burton most disappointing film .
