The new Planet Of The Apes is really good, I like that it felt it had a purpose of tying up the series.I may get some backlash for saying but, my favorite Planet Of The Apes will always be the one with Marky Mark! Even if it went nowhere, I feel that the costumes were much more authentic than the new cgi although the cgi in the newest one is very well done.
My favorite is still the original with Charlton Heston. I didn’t hate the remake, but you’re right, it didn’t really go anywhere. Tim Roth was awesome in it, tho.
