That being said,Planet of the Apes(2001) has some redeemable qualities.

The primary concern centered around the film’s ending, which was a crucial point for its reception.

Principally, the film addresses human agency and highlights the mindless nature of the human condition.

However, trying to mimicthe iconic ending of the 1968Planet of the Apes’was damaging to the franchise’s reputation.

While there were a lot of factors working against the movie, the 2011 chapter completely transformed the franchise.

Released in 2011,Rise of the Planet of the Apesis set in the “near future.”
