Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Wahlberg joined the film after meeting with Tim Burton for only five minutes. He was so anxious to work with Burton that he agreed to play any part. Wahlberg dropped out of the role of Linus in Ocean's Eleven (2001) to do this film.
- GoofsHow did humans from far and wide hear about "this human who defies the apes"? Leo was hardly noticed by anyone but the group he was with, and a few apes. The apes wouldn't publicize that a human was making fools of them, so how did word of his presence spread??
- Crazy creditsThe background on the 20th Century Fox logo fades to a starfield, before the logo itself fades out and the camera pans to the planet below.
- Alternate versionsThe final kissing scene between Mark Wahlberg and Helena Bonham Carter was edited out in the theatrical run when the movie was first released in India.

Featured review
Planet of the Apes is far from perfect and definetly not as good as the original. I still found it to be enough of an entertaining ride to enjoy as a summer popcorn movies. Perhapse I would be more strict on this movie if there was actually better movies out right now. Pearl Harbor, The Mummy Returns, Tomb Raider and The Fast and the Furious were all disapointments for me and I mildly enjoyed Jurassic Park 3. This movie has entertaining battle scenes and has a good look like Burton films generally have. The ending left me somewhat unsatisfied and it didn't seem proper. Still it's better than most big movies out there. I give it a 7 out of 10.
