"Tim Burton’s further indulgence within the b-movie science fiction genre with this remake of the classic Planet of the Apes has its appeal, and its eccentricities may please some of its audience. Ultimately, however, it’s shallow and devoid of core creativity, perhaps all to half hearted and lacking that Burton appeal of his best works."
