Picturenose's James Drew is pleasantly surprised at the latest ‘remake' of a classic and addition to a not-so classic movie franchise.
But no... director Rupert Wyatt (whose previous work The Escapist (2008) only received a quiet DVD release), also takes his inspiration from Pierre Boule's original novel Monkey Planet, but it is initially somewhat difficult to place his masterly film in the time-frame of the original franchise. It comes across as a variation on J. Lee Thompson's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) but by and large disregards all the other films, except the first. Thus, it is set in the present day, and provides enough to lay the foundations for an explanation of the final sequence of Schaffner's original:
George Taylor: Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was...we finally really did it. [screaming] You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
