What plot holes can we pick apart in this movie? Should Andy Serkis have been nominated for an Oscar for this movie? And does this movie sit differently now in a post-COVID world?

A brand new movie month is here as we bring you PLANET OF THE APES MONTH by going over four films from the franchise in the lead up to the brand new film Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! And what a way to start it off as we go back 23 years to the attempted reboot that many have forgotten existed, the Tim Burton version of Planet of the Apes from 2001. How does this movie hold up after 23 years? How does our opinion of Tim Burton play into our opinion of this movie? Why are so many good actors wasted here? Would we rather watch Mark Wahlberg talk to animals on Saturday Night Live? Is Tim Roth a good or bad villain? Does any of the plot of this movie make sense? And how do we feel about THAT ending? Get your ape into a spaceship and your funky bunch ready to go for a recap you can’t miss!
