Pierre boulle - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This was the most disappointing film of 2001. I disliked it because the financial backing was available to do this film correctly, but they choose to do a mix from the book and the 1968 film. The reason the 1968 film was shot with a primitive ape society and not a modern 20th century society, was that the money was not available to make the film true to the novel. So for budget purposes they made the stone homes, horses, ect.. Tim Burton could have made an incredible film, but he chose not to. The morals from the novel would have been brilliant to include in the film. In the book, the apes take one of the humans into a lab, and using electrodes on her brain are able make her speak and talk about her ancestors and the fall of human civilization. How humanity became so dependent on servant apes that when the apes rebelled, the humans ran or became servant/pets for the apes. Even more fasinating in the book was how one character was able to rise above the ape view of humans and even rise to celebrity status, while the professor gave up his individuality and stayed in a cage, ate, slept and did not speak, he surrendered. A fascinating contrast of human reactions to a similar enviroment. Please do this movie over, and use the novel as the screenplay, it is perfect. There are so many important messages that can be made doing this film correctly. And it would be much more entertaining and enjoyable for audiences. And please use better actors, very disappointing casting for the film.
