Planet of the Apes
Aroview: Attempting to “re-imagine” (rather than merely ape) the 1968 original, dir. Burton ups the ante with fiercer simians and darker stylistics, but the now-notorious plot deficiencies weaken the effect almost fatally.
Things start promisingly in the year 2029, with Mark Wahlberg going in search of a missing (genetically-enhanced) chimpanzee space-pilot, before things start to get hairy.

1 star (Turkey) This could have worked if the plot wasn't so amazingly bad. The apes are enjoyably abstract. ~dr.strangelove
2 stars (Good Try) These apes did not have the same appeal as their ancestors. ~Tubbs
