Well well well 2001 Tim Burton Planet of the Apes we finally meet. I don’t think it was as bad as people say at all, it had aspects of goodness, the makeup was crazy, it had fun nods to the original, and I thought Mark Wahlberg did well. It was just missing something I couldn’t put my finger on... the heart of the other movies I think? It felt smaller. Almost like sets? The ending though🫠😵‍💫

Mark Vaderr

Well said, Cassie. This movie could have been more. Yes, the make-up effects, is some of the best in movie history.

Just Plain Bob

Marky Mark has only given one good performance that I’ve seen and that was in “Boogie Nights.” He was serviceable in “The Departed”, but I felt that critics were grading him on a curve. In this one, he just seems bored, which fits what I remember of his demeanor when promoting the film. He seemed to think he was better than the material - and the material wasn’t very good. But it still managed to be beyond his grasp. His co-star, Estella Warren, was typical of the era. A model aspiring to be an actress and failing at both. Helena Bonham Carter, as Ari, and Michael Clark Duncan, as Colonel Attar, are rock solid but not spectacular. Paul Giamatti would be interesting just reading the phone book; you can’t turn off that kind of talent (“Sideways” and “American Splendor” really deserve a look-see). Tim Roth is superb (as per usual) as General Thade but seemed to be in a different movie than most of the other actors. That is, he seemed to be in a film in which they should give a damn about their performances. Most seemed like they were there to pick up a paycheck. The direction by Burton seemed listless and devoid of real style. I suspect the studio interfered, not wanting a “Tim Burton” film but something corporate and safe. That’s what they got; a boring, safe film that’s almost utterly artless. The standout performance, though, wasn’t by an actor or the director. It was Rick Baker’s makeup effects that absolutely stole the show. Everything I’ve ever seen him do has only reinforced my opinion of him as a genius. This film is certainly no exception. Finally, about the ending. It seems to be a nod to the book that started the whole series sixty years ago. However, the book sets up the ending in a way that made a lot more sense. It was a startling revelation when the protagonist returned to an Earth ruled by apes, but it wasn’t a past Earth (the book stuck to actual physics, not “space magic” physics) and it had been set up nicely by his experiences on Soror (the planet he lands on in the book is not Earth). In this movie, the ending seemed designed solely to shock the audience, with no foundation in the narrative that drove the story, as was the case in the book. PS: More about the ending. My take on it was that Thade went back in time (thanks to the “space magic” physics) and freed all the other apes from bondage, thus becoming a sort of “Ape-raham Lincoln.” When Marky Mark landed back on Earth, it was an Earth that was changed by Thade’s actions so that apes now dominated the contemporary world. Like with the rest of the film, I would not be surprised at all if the ending was changed to fit a studio mandate. I’m not particularly a fan of Tim Burton. I don’t dislike his films, I just don’t think he’s the genius that some believe him to be. That said, he definitely has a very distinctive style. I don’t understand the corporate-think that leads them to finance and distribute a film by such a director and then seemingly strip what he wants to create of any individuality. Why hire him if you’re gonna gut his vision?

phillip giroux

There is a lot to like about this movie but the pieces don't really come together into something whole.

Chris Thom

Mark Wahlberg is a decent actor and entertainer and talent but there's definitely a persistent arrogance to him that can rub people the wrong way. And a literal hate crime in his past that can be hard to overlook. That said, he was good in Boogie Nights. And Good Vibrations from the Marky Mark and Funky Bunch days is kind of a jam.

Chris Thom

I'd forgotten that Estella Warren was a thing. She was really beautiful.

Clarence Newman

Four Brothers, Bob? He was pretty good in that.

Just Plain Bob

No. He wasn’t. And the movie was boring as hell. Interesting side note (to me): I was shown a test trailer of the movie while shopping at Tower Records. I didn’t like it. They really played up the foster brother angle, as if the audience was too stupid to realize that they were fosters. It was annoying and I told them so. The trailer came out, unchanged. I watched the movie in theater and thought it was extremely average and Marky Mark played his usual stoic, tough guy self. All very Hollywood and all very “ok but nothing at all special.”

Just Plain Bob

I think she got started as a swimmer or something and drifted into modeling. She was gonna be the next big thing and then never was.

Clarence Newman

This and the 1968 original were the only Planet of the Apes movies I'd watched before Cassie went on her monkey bender. It hasn't exactly been my cup of Earl Grey, but now it's (almost) over, and she's suffering from a raging hangover, carpet tongue and persistent numb leg, may I benevolently suggest the ultimate hair of the dog.... Clint Eastwood! Geoffrey Lewis (Juliette from Cape Fear's dad), Ma Boggs ("Lady! Put down that gun now!"), The Black Widows ("Feared throughout the land!"), plus the most legendary orang utan in the history of cinema...... Cassie, I will say it one more time for your very own sake.....maybe thrice..... you have GOTS to finish up with EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE! I promise you, it's the most fun you can have with a simian.

Clarence Newman

You had to like him in Ted ("This guy took my teddy bay-uh!"). He was also ok in Instant Family (2018), although I don't recommend that one to folks who are thinking about having a child. They will all go out and buy a dog instead and humans will die out.

Philip Alan

I personally think you shouldn't read comments about certain movies that you are about to react to; good or bad. Because then you go into them with a certain feeling one way or another. And it kinda affects your reaction. Kinda. For example, when you watched "The Force Awakens" for the first time, you were waiting for the movie to be bad the whole time. (You enjoyed the movie, like me) And you kept questioning yourself about it during the movie. "Is this why you all didn't like this movie, guys?" "This is a bad movie?" I know it's hard not to read comments, so that request is probably too impossible. I hope you know what I mean! Now, for this one. I was one of the two people that wanted you to watch this one. ONLY because it's Tim Burton & how he handled the make-up. So I appreciate the reaction. And yeah, the ending didn't make sense.

Just Plain Bob

You got me on “Ted.” I did really like that movie and he was funny in it. Also, he was solid in “The Other Guys”, particularly when he goes to Will Farrell’s house for dinner. I’ve never seen “Instant Family” but I looked it up and it seems like the kind of movie that would make me want to self harm.

K, Zachary

Well you surprised me again Cassie. This movie was missing heart. Don't get me wrong I like Mark Wahlberg. My friends met him actually once in 2015 Anyway Anyway you will always get a heart from us. Apparently it's not about movie being bad or good. It's your reaction that counts. You see how my supportive gf has changed the way I see things and think? I don't know why I didn't see this to begin with. We got our tickets to see the new Jurassic World which opens on Wednesday. We will watch this later on today with you. You liked it and it doesn't matter what I think or my gf thinks. Actually she didn't think it was horrible however it's what you think and that's it only one who counts.

My_Cousin_Mose

I do not really care for Tim Burton movies. A Nightmare Before Christmas is great but thats the only one I can think of that comes to mind. For the most part his movies are just a bit too out there for me (with particular disdain for his Sweeney Todd remake). Mark Wahlberg is a ok. He always just seems like he's playing Mark Wahlberg. He can act believably angry, sad, or excited, or like he has 100 apes trying to kill him. But his character always still feels like he's Mark Wahlberg. I dunno hard to describe, but Nicholas Cage is the same way. This movie is just "meh". I saw it once when it came out and it was the 1st POTA movie I had seen. It did not leave me excited for more of them. Seeing it again now I have the same reaction. Meh. I remember that I did like the ending when I first saw it but this time I see it for the head scratcher that it is.

Clarence Newman

Agreed. Good movie, but not fun to watch.

Clay F

This movie has always been mixed to me but I never subscribed to the hate. I thought the story had a couple of cool aspects but overall not the greatest. The story was just not that engaging – like you said missing something. Performances I liked: Tim Roth (as Thade), Paul Giamatti, Helena Bonham Carter (as Ari). Other performances I didn’t like as much. Agree that the makeup effects are awesome – definitely adds to the movie. Also, I think the movie did a good job as to movement and mannerisms of what evolved apes might be. The first chimpanzee in space was Ham, who flew a suborbital flight in 1961, as part of Project Mercury. Launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The mission was to test effects of space travel on a living creature. Ham performed his tasks during flight and was recovered safely. He experienced some fatigue and dehydration. The Soviet Union sent a dog into space in 1957 – the first animal to orbit the Earth. I like Mark Wahlberg. Agree he was good in Deepwater Horizon (2016). Suggest these three Wahlberg movies: -Three Kings (1999) [RT=94%] -The Fighter (2010) [RT=91%] -Four Brothers (2005)

Clay F

Thanks much for reacting to the franchise. My personal ranking as to how much I like the movies: 1. Planet of the Apes (1968) (10/10) – the ultimate. The main reason I wanted you to react to franchise is so you would react to the 1968 original. I would have been happy if you had only reacted to 1968 original, but I think it cool that you are now familiar with the Planet of the Apes franchise. 2. Rise, Dawn, War, Kingdom collectively (8.5/10) – emotion, good stories/acting, great CGI. You reacting to these 4 was an added benefit to me of you reacting to the franchise. Looking forward to the sequel to Kingdom (and to your reaction). 3. Escape from Planet of the Apes (1971) (6/10). I liked the original sequels as a kid. Interesting. Plus, a positive for me feeling connected w/the 1968 original. 4. Planet of the Apes (2001) (5.5/10) Didn't you say you have a friend who liked Planet of the Apes (2001)? 5. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) (5/10) 6. Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) (3.5/10) 7. Battle of the Planet of the Apes (1973) (2/10) – made sense to skip this one imo.

Choof

The original movies had ideas, the later movies had heart. This movie has neither and is just really boring, both in story and in production design which is shocking considering its Tim Burton. Say whatever you want about him, and I certainly have, but up until this moment in his career his movies always had the unique visual flair which this didn't have. Some cameo trivia: Thade's father was played by Charlton Heston. Haven't watched the reaction yet so I'm not sure if you noticed, hes pretty unrecognizable

YodatheHobbit

It is strange at first how humans seem to have all the same mental capacity as apes in this film, yet apes are still dominant. I assume they must be that way in the version based purely on physical strength. Even IRL chimps are stronger than humans with raw, explosive strength and agility, although humans are better at lifting heavy things in a controlled manner, and of course gorillas are much stronger than chimps. This was the first POTA movie I saw, I think. Although this movie to me as a whole is a bit unremarkable and on an emotional level completely empty for me, I did like the "Jesus ape has returned as prophesized" bit of commentary, in which those who think one way suddenly think directly opposite simply because a religious figure who is suddenly flesh and blood real "told" them to, apparently not having minds and of their own, through being friendly with Leo. At least that was my rational for why Attar(Michael Clark Duncan) has such a quick and sudden change of thought. Not calling it a change of heart, if he had heart, he would've had empathy for humans from the start. Seeing the scenes of the young girl chimp getting a young human girl bought for her actually did affect me more than I expected. As much as I like to think I've been sympathetic to animals for how we keep them in cages for most of my life, even though I hypocritically enjoy zoos, those scenes actually reinforced that view for me further. Even in a scenario like that where it was like she was a dog or cat kept in a cage, it did truly seem all the more barbaric seeing a little girl crying in one while her young ape master slept in a bed. If the cage was out of the picture, and she slept WITH her in her bed, I'd approve of it more I guess. Even with the cage, it did feel the young ape girl loved her new pet just as we love dogs, so I don't really blame her. Love mixed with cruelty because I guess that's just what we're taught to do. Thade's father btw, was Charlton Heston AKA Taylor! I'm not a huge Heston fan, but I thought it's a pretty neat cameo. I wasn't totally sure at first, I actually thought it was Anthony Hopkins for a second, but then his face was in the light a bit more and I recognized him. The thing which confirmed it 100% for me though was the distinctive way only he can say the word "damn". Oooh! One cool fact that I JUST learned from the POTA fandom website is that Terry Notary was the movement coach also for this film. He went on to have a similar role in the Andy Serkis films as well as play Rocket in Rise, Dawn, and War,(that I already knew) plus TONS of background apes in all three of the first apes remake/re-envisioned films.

When I first saw this movie, I was entertained and was in awe of the make up effects. I thought Mark Wahlberg put in one of his better performances (he’s had some really good ones and some really bad ones). But I thought Tim Roth’s performance as Thade was just over the top and too cartoonish. As far as action goes, it didn’t disappoint. Overall, its not a horrible movie…it’s one of those movies that you don’t mind watching every now and then on a rainy day just to pass the time. But it could have been so much more. When I first saw the list of actors in this film, and knowing what the premise of the story is, it was hard not to think it would be an amazing movie. But there were a few things that, in my opinion, stopped it from getting there. First, I’ve never been a huge fan of Tim Burton. There are a few of his movies that I really like, but overall his directing style and vision never did much for me. And that proved to be the case for this movie. Secondly, I couldn’t sympathize with the human characters in this movie. In the original movie, humans had obviously devolved and were the inferior species. In the reboot series, humans refused to accept the fact that apes were evolving into a dominant species. In this movie, the humans just seem robotic and lifeless, even though they seem to be intelligent enough to have perhaps avoided becoming the inferior species. And lastly, there’s the ending. Enough said with that. I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction to this movie and hearing your comments, especially now that you’ve seen the original and the reboot series.

Nathan Swapp

I was but a boy when this came out but I clearly remember being at Walmart with advertisements in the toy section where they were counting down the days until the release. It's fine, I like it for what it is.

Gábor Árki

What's missing? A good script. Or at the very least a coherent one. The story that made it to the screen feels half-baked at best, as if no one stopped to ask whether any of it made sense. Character motivations are muddled, there is little to no emotional attachment to any of the characters, and the movie just lacks depth, meaning, or even a clear takeaway, which was a staple for every other movie in the franchise made before or after. The more you think about it, the more it falls apart. - Why does the US Air Force have a space station where apes are trained to pilot spacecraft? - If the humans are fully articulate and seem just as intelligent as modern people, why are they treated like animals by the apes, and why do they live like cavemen? - Where do all the humans at the end suddenly come from, how did literally everyone from every tribe learn the story within 2 days? - Why does the battle between apes and humans abruptly stop with so little consequence or resolution? The big revelation that apes are descendants of the caged animals doesn’t have any meaningful impact and doesn't explain why the apes are just suddenly fine with humans and treat them equals. And then there is the ending. There isn't much point in dwelling on it because it simply doesn't make any sense. I remember seeing this film in theaters back in 2001, and even then, it was a major disappointment. The only real highlight is the mask and prosthetic work. But even those end up sometimes in an uncanny valley.

Joe J

Personally, I'm happy the ape saga is now done & dusted. I only cared about the 68 OG film. Wait...we still have "Every Which Way But Loose", somehow I had blocked that one out. 😆

Leetmouse

Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch

Kareem Harper

I will give credit to Tim Burton's film for getting the ape personalities mostly right. Gorillas being noble and chill hiding terrifying power, chimpanzees being borderline psychotic, old man of the woods orangutangs being brilliant perverts, etc. Also Marky Mark playing an astronaut b-boy is hilarious.

Mojo One Thousand

I agree with you Cassie, the movie does lack heart, and things did seem crow-barred in (looking at you attempted love-triangle). I also agree with what someone else said, that is was a studio doing a bit of a paint-by-numbers, but attaching a big name director to it in Tim Burton, but not letting him be Tim Burton. The ending does also point to there being some kind of franchise brewing, and a quick search did have a theory about the pod that Wahlberg landing in still somehow being functional and "Thade" ended up further back in time, presumably after show how escaping captivity... time travel, I am not going to think to hard about it, probably about as much time as any movie that is implementing it does. I think the movie just wanted the pun "Ape-raham Lincoln" to be a thing. Rick Baker is a legend, and he did a fantastic job with the make-up effects, and Danny Elfman as usual did a great job with the score. I liked the performances of the main 3 apes in Tim Roth as "Thade" (although maybe a little over the top at times), Helena Bonham Carter as "Ari", and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as the Gorilla "Krull". I was thinking we haven't had much of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa on the channel although he does seem to bob up in a lot of stuff. I think Timothy Dalton's outing as "James Bond" in "Licensed to Kill" is the only one I can think of, I am sure there are others as he is in lots of stuff. It did make me think of something he is in, "Rising Sun" (1993), which has the unlikely lead pairing of Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes, doubt that would be on the channel anytime soon. And, yep Cassie, there were plenty of animals that were sent into space prior to human going - dogs, monkeys, apes.

Gray

Fair play for liking it I personally thought it was naff, i've enjoyed most of the Apes films on the channel especially the original but this felt like a tv show you'd catch flicking through the FX channel. Make up was good though

Joe J

Meh ratings on this one, but did reasonably well at the Box-office. I watched it once when released, can't remember one thing about it...not a good sign, lol.

Canadianant

Personally this was as weird as I had remembered it to be..but kudos to the makeup as it was superb. Estella Warren was intended to be the girl of the moment but between this dud and the truly heinous Sylvester Stallone racing movie Driven her career was sealed. You absolutely called it Cassie and that this is truly missing the heart of the franchise. The interesting thing that it's amazing that we got the fantastic recent movies when there was a pretty poor response to this one and it's surprising someone had true version to reboot the series in a meaningful and original way. So that being said now that the apes are in the book is it batman next? Game of thrones? Curious where pib goes next .

WestBound

Still waiting on that sequel 24yrs later

Joe J

She is starting GoT in August. She wants to watch Batman Forever, she hasn't said about Batman and Robin and the Snyder films.

Just Plain Bob

Your point about the apes suddenly accepting humans as equals is well made. It makes no sense. A couple of lines of exposition from Marky Mark and we’re supposed to believe they forget hundreds, if not thousands, of years of culture and belief systems? It’s nonsense and I suspect the studio had something to do with it.

Perrin

I appreciate that they made the apes in the old school style, and I kinda like the goofiness too. But it really suffered from all of the worst aspects of the early 2000's gritty reboot trends.

Clarence Newman

Nope. The apes are not in the book until she's done the Every Which Way But Loose epilogue.

Just Plain Bob

Cassie, legendary actor Charlton Heston (Taylor in the 1968 film) played the small role of General Thade’s father in this film. His dying exclamation “DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!” was a callback to his line at the end of the original film when he realized that humans had blown the world up (“Damn you all to hell!” as he beat his fist in the sand). Sadly, a year after the remake was released he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. If I remember correctly, people on set commented on his difficulties remembering his lines in the movie, possibly indicating he was in the early stages of the disease at the time of filming. He passed away a few years later.

D4RK

Great reaction Cass <3 , was with a quiet hope at the ape Heston scene and his farmiliar line “damn them all to hell” for you to recognise, guess his makeup was too well done 😂👍. I saw this in the cinema, enjoyed it and took it for what it was- a dark Tim Burton Fantasy film of an ape dominated world, in that I believe he succeeded.

Clay F

Clarence has been very vocal about Every Which Way But Loose but I haven’t seen any indication from her that she is considering a reaction. The ape saga is over.

John A

Hi dying Fathers last words "Damn them all to Hell" was because he is played by Charlton Heston who played Taylor, and that was Taylor famous line in the original movie.

John A

The movie does not explain the Ape Lincoln ending from what I heard, is that a sequel was intended that would explain it. But the movie was not received well. I personally like bits and pieces of it. but not the apes. most of them were weird and goofy to me.

Night King01

Theres a hilarious video of tim burton trying to explain the ending and even he cant figure it out.

Rick Rodriguez

I don't like the movie. But I love Danny Elfman's Main Titles.

Cole Jennett

I made it 45 minutes, and decided to skip to the end.

Chris Thom

That was the style, for sure. They actually considered giving Superman red basketball shorts to wear too. lol

Dave

"Was there supposed to be more that explained this?" Tim Burton films in a nutshell.

K, Zachary

So I believe it's a different timeline humans never evolved from apes. That's was my thought gf doesn't know. She's glad that you liked it. This just goes to show we will never know what she will like and what she doesn't like. Yeah I didn't really care for this movie, but we watched because Cassie liked it. I think that's going to be are process going forward. Anything we have seen but didn't care for it and she liked it. We will watch it. The only movies we won't watch are movies we can't stand. Anyway we are gearing up for Jurassic World Rebirth. When looking through Cassie's collection she didn't do Jurassic World: Dominion. All the rest we will rewatch with her. We are going Wednesday night. I have seen all six Jurassic movies in the theater. The Utah Mammoths hmmm they should have tried for the raptors. Since the Utahraptor is a species of raptor they discovered Grand County, Utah in 1991.

Walter

yeah, this movie is still bad. First time re-watching it since the theater and it's just as bad as I remembered. Flat characters. Great make-up. Nonsense story. This gets 3 bananas out of 10.

Stick Figure Studios

God bless you Cassie for remembering that BIG FISH was a Tim Burton film that you liked. :-)

Chris Thom

Oh was that the one you picked? After the trivia thing?

Chris Thom

How did a tin can robot become Johnny Depp again?

Tyler Foster

She watched Rounders (1998) after trivia.

Doug Fisher

My interpretation is that Thad learned the technology while trapped and went back even farther in time (to the time of Abraham Lincoln) to start the civilization over again since his present time was lost to him. I am not saying it makes sense, just my interpretation at the time I first watched this. The reason it felt like it was "missing something" is because every scene, character, as well as the plot arc was rushed. There was never any real character development or moments to relate to any of the characters. There were threads there (hints of that development) but it was never woven into a tapestry of a good film. I am still not sure how I feel about Charlton Heston's cameo as I don't think he should have been an ape, but maybe that was the only way he would appear in the film. Yeah... Rick Baker is a Master Make-Up Artist (Star Wars) and he knocked it out of the park... again. As did Danny Elfman with the score.

Mark Vaderr

I wouldn't be too harsh to Estella Warren. She was pretty much given the role of "Nova", except that she could talk. She did an alright job. Not that I saw her becoming a leading lady.

Chris Thom

Oh it's called Rebirth. The ads have just been calling it Jurassic World and I was confused if it was supposed to be a remake.

TheSingulatarian

Mark Wahlberg is a violent racist and has always been a racist. I don't think much has changed. When he was doing promotion for this film he said "Helena Bonham Carter" in her Ape make-up looked like Janet Jackson". He thought that he was oh so clever and that he had gotten away with something. Marky Mark is best when he is cast as idiot like "Pain and Gain" and "Boogie Nights" the second of which he has disavowed even though it is probably his best performance. He must have a good agent because he has spent his entire career failing upward. Howard Stern Interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGOWsXZjb6c A little bit about Wahlberg. https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/mark-wahlberg-racist-hate-crimes-wikipedia-history-george-floyd-blm-protests-a9554191.html

Darren Harrison

Glad you watched this. I never understood why people didn’t like it. It was a different spin and had some great ideas. I particularly liked the twist at the end. Shame there was no sequel to make sense of it. I heard even Tim Burton couldn’t explain it.

Troy Silvester

During that scene, I was squirming and pointing out that you must not know that is Charlton Heston, and duplicating the ending monologue. Think I'm gonna stick to the YT edits, this movie was too long to me. I loved it in the theater. Tim Roth, Helen Bonham Carter, Michael Clark Duncan and Paul Giamatti, were standouts in this. The first Human you see on the planet is the legendary Kris Kristofferson.

John A

I did like Tim Roth and Michael Clarke Duncan, I did not like how Paul Giamatti looked or his facial expressions. same with Helen Bonham Carter, just thought she was strange. I did like until they got to the ape village, and then it was strange to me. Might be because I loved the one in the original series so much.

Clarence Newman

Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war!.... (I may be getting off topic.)

Clarence Newman

I long for the day she says that about Officer and a Gentleman, Stick.

Clay F

Clarence - if she reacted to Every Which Way, I be happy for you and other patrons who are fans.

Clarence Newman

I have to take issue with your critique of Stallone's Driven, though - the issue being that you're absolutely right.

Clarence Newman

On behalf of the thousands of Cassie's patrons who want to see Philo and Clyde take on the Black Widows, Clay, I appreciate your support.

Clarence Newman

Have to give a shout-out to the gone-far-too-soon Michael Clarke Duncan. The man deserved an Oscar for Green Mile. I remember watching a featurette on The Scorpion King where he had fight scenes with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In one take, The Rock actually caught Michael hard enough on the jaw to knock him down. The look of fear on The Rock's face when he realised what he'd done.....

Uncle Phoenix

Maurice had sweet grandpa energy; Clyde is the uncle who just like to watch tv

Chris Retzlaff

Helen Carter strange..or Lastrange...I thought she was relatively normal for a change in this....compared to ther films like Fight Club, Sweeney Todd, and Alice in Wonderland. She was a pretty good looking ape...great hair

Chris Retzlaff

Do give up, it can still happen....maybe say Planet or apes three times like Beetlejuice

Chris Retzlaff

Is that where he crashes and goes to the future with Mick Jager......??..lol

Chris Retzlaff

How did you like that goodbye with the blonde girl....not a word...Just a confused look and she takes off...he s like alright, say hi to your motha for me

Ryan Geiger

Sees the ending, now you know why they didn't make another one.

MrKsummer7

My answer to every question Cassie asked was “who knows, it’s a stupid movie”.

John A

hahaha Lestrange was a good one, for her is yes she was relatively less-strange at this part, but I personal did not care for her part in it. I did not think she was a good looking ape with great hair hahahahaha, But Chris, I liked your response

Kareem Harper

Amen! RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.

YodatheHobbit

As much as I enjoy Paul Giamatti in many things, I can imagine the guy turning to look at another girl meme between Maurice and Paul's character here, and it's undisputable who's in which spot.

Tyler Hale

No doubt the makeup was the star and I liked Danny Elfman’s score. The ending is almost like the original novel except not as over-the-top.

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

Jurassic World Rebirth isn't a remake—it's a full-on sequel to Jurassic World Dominion. Everything from Jurassic Park to Jurassic World is still connected. But this one looks like it's going in a darker, scarier direction—more in line with the horror vibe of the Jurassic Park novel. Honestly, it's giving me serious Aliens vibe. Way more intense and focused than Jurassic World Dominion, which was a flop. I'm seeing it this Thursday and I'm actually excited for it. Well maybe not as excited as I'm for Superman next week! Lol. And this last weekend, I watched Megan 2.0—and man, she fully leaned into more sci-fi, action, and comedy than horror this time around, and I loved it. I've already watched it four times. Her sequel really gave Megan depth. She wasn't just a killer doll anymore—she grew. She actually redeemed herself. Took on a more twisted A.I., understood the difference between protecting someone and controlling them, and yeah… she literally saved the world. It gave me serious Terminator 2 vibes mixed with a little Knight Rider—there's even a reference in there I totally geeked out over. Lol. I'm not gonna lie, I've completely fallen for her even more after this one. Also caught the F1 movie too—Brad Pitt, race cars, same director as Top Gun: Maverick. And yeah, it was intense, really well done—almost had that same adrenaline rush as Top Gun: Maverick. But as much as I liked it, Megan 2.0 still stole the weekend for me. I'm a huge fan of her now… maybe not Superman-level fan, but close. Lol. And this week is Jurassic World Rebirth then it's Superman next! Yay! 😊

I might be a few days late on this, but I just enjoyed your reaction to Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes (2001), Cassie. Yay—you made it to the end of your Planet of the Apes journey… at least for now, until the next reboot sequel to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes drops—probably in 2027. I know the 2001 remake gets a lot of hate, but honestly, I still enjoyed it. Mark Wahlberg wasn't bad in the role (I enjoy a bunch of the movies that's he in), and I've always been curious about that wild twist ending—like, I really wish they had made a sequel to explain what the heck happened with that alternate Earth where apes founded the United States of America. when he came back. Total mind trip. Lol. Still, nothing beats the reboot movies with Caesar—and now Noa continuing that legacy. That series just hits differently. "Apes together strong." 😊

MeGan 2 unfortunately was a solid NO she wanted F1 I wanted 28 years later so we stayed home to watch the Fever Game. Yeah Jurassic World Rebirth as soon as we could tickets we did. Superman we are going to be in Indianapolis that weekend so I think we are going to try for the 18th for Superman and then I Know What You Did Last Summer on the 19th.

I have always preferred this version to the later series. A lot of the fun is identifying the actors underneath the make-up to include the original “Taylor” Charlton Heston and Tim Roth, Michael Duncan and Kris Kristofferson
