Planet of the Apes 2001: A Failed Odyssey

Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch. Yeah I know apes aren't monkeys but monkey is funny.
Tim Burton tried to reimagine a classic film. For the first time. It did not go well. It never goes well.

[@manospondylus4896]

A fun fact about Rise of the Planet of the Apes and why it works so well: It was originally not supposed to be a franchise movie. It was just meant to be an unrelated standalone story about the perils of genetic engineering and keeping exotic animals as pets, but after the first draft of the script was finished, the writer realized “Hey wait, this could actually work as a prequel for Planet of the Apes” and then pitched that idea to Fox.

[@chrisbrasel8060]

And they made the greatest film trilogy in recent times in the process too. It pay a homage to the original series while doing it's own thing living up to the series deeper meaning.

Technically, the twist in the finale does fit with the sci-fi time portal as presented in the movie. The later you go through the portal on your own side, the earlier you come out on the other side. In the beginning of the film, first the one chimp goes through, then Marky Mark, then the main ship. On the other side, first comes the main ship, then Marky Mark, then the one chimp. So when Marky Mark goes through, and then later Thade goes through (after somehow escaping), on our side it would be Thade who comes through first and then Marky Mark.

0:38 "And a twist ending that has been referenced so many times." One of my favourite anime of all time, Pani Poni Dash, STARTS with referencing the Planet Of The Apes ending twist. I was so expecting it'd show up here. XD

[@rigatonipasta]

I don’t know what the twist is

[@Jabber416]

​@rigatonipasta Watching the movie it seems like it's taking place on some sci-ci alien planet but the twist is that it's actually Earth and the apes just took over somehow.

[@freezasama5802]

ape lincoln is the best twist of Burton's movie

[@GDKF0238]

Ok so I’ve come across the book twist. “The implication is that the human-ape transition is a universal norm, that across the galaxy humans have arisen, flourished, and then declined. So, while Ulysse was on the Planet of the Apes, the Earth followed the same trajectory that other planets had. (The characters in the frame narrative are in a three-sun system, iirc, so that’s a third planet where the same thing has happened).” Pretty sure the movie one is that the whole fucking time they were just on earth. Which if that’s the case, it’s lame as shit (in my opinion. Then again, I do love the original writing of the invisible man so who am I to say what’s lame?) and I genuinely can’t believe people see it as a great twist to this day

[@slyseal2091]

@@GDKF0238 The movie one is the only one that makes sense though. The other ones work on below average time travel consistency and the assumption that aliens look like us beyond the scope of tool-usage. The only contrivancy in 1968 was that the statue of liberty still existed and was in travel range.

[@deadpan2866]

i always saw the original films apes as evolved versions of apes, thats why they look more human, not because they are evolving to be more human, but because they just evolved to be more upright and talk better

[@Ergeniz]

I mean, wouldn't they be evolving to be more human though? Humans are evolved from other apes, and themselves ARE apes.

[@steveiguana6887]

Wrong! Ape together strong! Why evolve to weak human? Glove invented to spare ape from human disease

​@@ErgenizEvolution doesn't work like that.

This also was my first introduction to the Apes franchise. Its such a fever dream. I was shocked how much better the old movies were, well at least the 1968 one. But this one will always have a soft spot in my heart.

[@charvolth]

The scene that stuck with me the most was Charlton Heston's cameo as Thade's father. He showed everything that Mark Walberg wasn't in this film. It just reminded you how awesome it was to watch ol' Chuck ham it up.

[@forlorn9134]

Saw this movie for the first time in the hospital a couple weeks ago. It will now forever be associated with a week long stay in the hospital in for me. I’m just glad they also played the new trilogy after.

I'm one of the very few that actually enjoy and really like this version of Planet of the Apes. It's very underrated and under appreciated. Definitely deserves more respect. It's really not that bad. The practical effects, make up, sets, stunt work, the list goes on. This movie is fantastic!

[@GamerGod353]

y'know it's really fucking funny when i was like "man Pointless hub should touch on planet of the apes movie series cause they are right up his alley" like a few days ago and thought about contacting you on covering these videos and to my wonderful surprise I see this drop today. Thank you for psychically linking our brains together and bringing this to life. Ape's together strong!

As a kid in the 2000s I remember they used to show this movie a lot on tv. Especially the FX channel. I think I didn’t see the original films until after this film. That’s why I was hyped when they rebooted it again in 2011.

[@aw3299]

​@@purplehaze2358 You hadn't been living under a rock, it's just so much entertainment and technology revolutions was going on from the mid 90s to late 2000s that you can really kinda break gen z itself up into three different generations. Like I was born in 1997, but the difference in what I grew up with compared to what my brother and sister (born in 2002 and 2005) grew up with is honestly kinda shocking to me. I myself had missed alot of things that even mid to younger millenials experienced, so don't feel bad about not knowing this movie. Compared to the Caesar trilogy, it's probably good that you dodged this.

Watching a summary of Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes while light samba/bossa nova plays in the background is sure one of the experiences of all time

[@toeray5864]

This movie embodies the term "bad taste but great execution." The costumes, sets, and prosthetics are legitimately excellent. The story and script are bizarre. If you had to have a twist ending make it so Marky Mark returns to an Earth embroiled in a war between apes and humans. Not Another Planet of the Apes. The saddest part of this movie is that Tim Roth turned down Snape in the HP flicks to be Thade.

[@ShreddySteve]

This was MY first Planet of the Apes movie too 😂. I even remember my dad renting it for us on VHS.
