Starring: Mark Wahlberg &

Helena Bonham Carter

Directed by Tim Burton (Sleepy Hollow)

Planet of the apes is a remake of the1970’s classic sci-fi film, starring Charlton Heston.

Most Critics say that it hasn’t lived up to the hype it has had and its storyline has a lot of flaws, but they are wrong.

The film has great special effects, the make-up is brilliant and if you had seen the first film or the TV series it’s a great film for you to get back into the apes.

If you didn’t see it the first time around it is a great remake with its completely different story line from the first and its weird, bizarre unexpected ending and its message on racism and prejudice through out the film.

Rating: ****
