Amazon.co.uk Review
On the DVD: balancing out the disappointing movie experience is an exceptional 13 hours of extra material. From the heavily CG-animated menus, you'll encounter some standard fare like libraries of promo material (posters, ads and trailers) and concept art. But they're enormous, as are the 26 cast and crew text profiles. If the THX optimiser tests don't convince you of the need for top equipment, there's DVD-ROM and NUON-enhanced player features as well. The "White Rabbit" Enhanced Viewing Mode for FX vignettes and four multi-angle featurettes on shooting scenes may seem a little dry, but the other features ranging from 10 to 30 minutes aren't. You'll find it hard picking a favourite between Rick Baker gushing over the lifetime dream of ape make-up, Michael Clarke Duncan playing to camera on location, or Danny Elfman at work on the scoring stage. Of the two commentaries Elfman’s is better by far, even if somewhat sporadic and clearly not recorded to picture. Burton's is typically fragmented, and is certainly not the place to discover what on earth the "shock-value-for-the-sake-of-it" ending means. --Paul Tonks

Planet of the bad remakes!,
By
This review is from: Planet of the Apes [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
This is not as bad a movie as many would have you believe, however neither is it a good movie.......... if you like sci-fi you can watch this movie on a slow saturday afternoon, if you don't like sci-fi, don't bother.
The movie itself has some great names, Tim Roth, Mark Wahlberg and Helena Bonham Carter but none of them give a memorable performance. The DVD extras are fantastic! Great DVD-ROM stuff, excellent sections on how the movie was made etc. The extras are really great for movie nerds! But be warned, this is a bad remake, just because you enjoyed the original(s) don't be sure you will like this also.

Total Failure,
By
This review is from: Planet of the Apes [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
Together with Steve Martins attempt at equalling Peter Sellers in Pink Panther, this must be the WORST re-recording of a great movie ever. The 1968 movie is a bloody classic, and even without the 68 to compare it to, this would still be subpar, wannabe-Star Trek. Do not, I repeat, Do Not buy this movie without seeing both versions and deciding for yourself. I cannot, however, imagine that you'd settle for this one. Perhaps you'd want both, but the 1968 one is the only one worth owning. And thats coming from a guy, who usually buys tons of worthless crap and happily stashes it, imagining he has some use of it. I've bought movies that I never see, because theyre boring. But Id never buy this one, for it is so horribly bad :(

I wish I'd read the reviews and saved myself some money.,

This review is from: Planet of the Apes [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
This is a fairly weak effort, redeemed only by the fact that there are some interesting special features accompanying it. The script is poor and many of the scenes (e.g. the ape city) are too obviously filmed in studios. The ending is a complete non sequitur. The only thing I was left wondering was 'who on earth wrote this rubbish?'.Is this DVD worth 15 quid? If you want to know the answer, do yourself a favour and rent it instead. Nuff said.
