Planet of the Apes (2001)

Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes chronicles the journey of astronaut Captain Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) crash-landing onto a planet where humanoid apes are the dominant species and have implemented a political system and a class structure in which humans are enslaved.

I ranked this film so low because its conclusion does not align with the rest of the story. Why did Burton scrap the original's twist ending? How did Thade suddenly become president? Viewers are left with several unanswered questions. Ultimately, Burton doesn't exactly shine in the pure sci-fi realm.

Watch Planet of the Apes on Apple TV+.
