Sinopsis(1)
Año 2029. En una misión rutinaria, el astronauta Leo Davidson pierde el control de su nave y aterriza en un extraño planeta, que está gobernado por una raza de simios cuya inteligencia es similar a la de los seres humanos, a los que, sin embargo, tratan como si fueran animales. Con la ayuda de una chimpancé y de un pequeño grupo de rebeldes, Leo encabeza una rebelión contra el poderoso ejército dirigido por el general Thade. La clave de la victoria consistirá en llegar a un templo sagrado, situado en la zona prohibida del planeta, que contiene los extraordinarios secretos del pasado de la humanidad. (20th Century Fox España)

Todo el mundo esperaba una ciencia ficción seria en la línea del original de Schaffner y Tim Burton los engañó a todos haciendo el ridículo con el tema. Las estrellas más grandes de la película no son los humanos, sino los monos, y la conclusión no es impactante ni estimulante, sino divertida. La chispa del triángulo amoroso entre el héroe americano Mark Wahlberg, la chimpancé de hermosos ojos Helena Bonham Carter y la sencilla barbie Estella Warren es tan irresistible como Tim Roth es repulsivo como el general Thade. A la película no le falta una brillante ejecución técnica, ferocidad o acción ni distanciamiento irónico. Aplaudí y me reí mucho al final. Y casi me enamoro de los ojos de la chimpancé Carter: adornó mi escritorio durante varios meses después del estreno. No te tomes esta película demasiado en serio. Los tiempos cambian y no todo el mundo necesita ver la historia del Planeta de los Simios como lo hace Schaffner.

There's no murder of the original here. Mark Wahlberg gives an appealing performance as the captain of the ship, the special effects work all throughout the film, and there's even an interesting variation of the final twist that worked for me. Except that this is simply a "remake of Planet of the Apes", which brings with it slightly higher expectations.

More of a parody of the original film. Visually stunning, with some of the typical elements of Tim Burton. The action is decent and the make-up effects are truly masterful. The plot, on the other hand, lacks drive and not much actually happens overall, to put it simply. Helena Bonham Carter and Mark Wahlberg are pretty decent, but the most captivating by far is the demonic Tim Roth. The ending is at least peculiar, and there are also a few clear blunders and mistakes, but despite all this, Planet of the Apes remains a skillfully made summer blockbuster with typical genre attributes. Whether this mess was intentional will likely remain a mystery forever, but I must admit that I was quite entertained.

Properly as wacky as you’d expect from Burton, with flawless sets and make-up effects, and a surprisingly bland Wahlberg. Overall, I would have liked it, but the incredibly idiotic final half hour, including a very weird ending, put a damper on everything. According to the reviews, not many people understood it, and I appreciate the ending in the older classic version all the more.

The film has an incredibly gloomy screenplay that stubbornly clings to one plotline, which, on its own, wouldn't be enough for even 20 minutes. And unfortunately, even Tim Burton wasn’t able to breathe life into it through visual finesse. Although the film dazzles with its grand production design and impeccable masks, the narrative emptiness inevitably plunges the viewer into boredom. The film has unquestionable strengths, including the mentioned ones such as the casting, camera work, and excellent music by Danny Elfman. However, there is still a lingering feeling that the two-hour runtime should have been trimmed by at least a good 30 minutes. This would have left us with an audiovisual extravaganza in which Burton's great sense of humor would shine even brighter, as evidenced by the excellent final scene and the closing credits remixed by DJ Paul Oakenfold.
