Parents need to know that this movie features intense and prolonged peril, a great deal of violence, and many deaths, including characters we care about. Characters are beaten and branded. There is a brief mild sexual situation and some strong language.
This movie was a pointless attempt at remaking a classic! Their hopeless attempt at not only humor, but references to the old movie and a battle scene that never happened were pathetic! I bought this movie for five dollars and was still ripped off!
this movie is very scary and very vilont. do NOT let any child under the age of 11 see it. andonly let kids that are 11 see it if they are VERY MATURE VIEWERS. but if there not i would save the movie till there ALMOST 13.
I saw this movie awhile ago, and I don't remember it being too bad. It had action violence, and a scene where a topless ape (no nipples were shown) was jumping up and down next to her husband on a bed. There is, of course, some language. Iffy for ages 12-13.
i really really liked this movie. There was a lot of vilonce but no blood was shown and some characters were killed on screen. But the vilonce wasnt pointless like it was in 10,000 B.C.. the vilonce actually added some excitment and some fun and some scare into the movie. so bottom line i really liked it and teens 13 and up should go see it!
Remake is fun and action packed, but may be too brutal for younger audiences
The 2001remake of Planet of the Apes is much better than the reviews will have you believe, but unfortunately, it is not a competent remake since it replaces the original movies brain and self aware plot with special effects and action, not that special effects and action can always be all that bad, though, since it is also quiet fun. The only real problem for some younger audiences may be the violence, which is at once harsh and brutal against the humans and orchestrated by the apes, and may deeply disturb some of the very young audience members, even though it isn't really for them. Most tween's should be fine and almost every teen should probably have seen something far worse than this by now.
