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.
