Without knowing what is going on, the 2omin opus of flashing lights is a bit long and pointless. http://theganjaguru.blogspot.com I don’t really think 2001 is worth watching if you haven’t read the book.

There's another list for sci-fi movies of the 70's. @Pliskin #219: Both of those are from the 70’s. There’s another list for sci-fi movies of the 70’s.

The worst part about the new The Planet of the Apes movie is how comfortable you are with the apes. Apart from the suits, they are pretty much the same as the humans, you feel like its a movie with people in make-up (really good makeup, but still makeup). In the original you feel as though they are very different from humans; going through, perhaps, their own distinct enlightening period. Maybe it all boils down to the humans being able to talk in the sequel. I was just thinking about this so I wanted to say it too.

I overshot it a little, Burton doesn't really need 3-adjective praise. Haha. His remake did, however, come out some time ago; when, I think, expectations for his films in general were a little higher. I actually feel a little spiteful toward him for some of his recent releases. It seemed like he was really good at showing how pretty ugly things can be, I felt betrayed after watching the new Apes movie because he did the exact opposite of that; tried to make an ugly thing pretty.

It's been a long time since I've seen it but I remember it being well received/reviewed. Did you consider “Robinson Crusoe on Mars”(1964)for the list?

I too used to think he was a keen innovator with a cool style. And clearly he's made some true gems. But it appears his talent has grown tired and old over the years, and perhaps the truth is that he was really just a very limited talent in the first place--able to do well when pigeonholed into a certain kind of project (Nightmare Before Christmas, for instance) but not up to it at other times (even the original Batman, viewed now, has some big flaws... over the years its become more style than substance, particularly when viewed next to the two recent films). kazorek:

And I'd have to agree with everyone slamming the new Planet off the Apes. I wonder why a talented and original directer (and "idea man") like Burton would take a classic like Planet of the Apes and make a cheap junk adventure movie (with NO heart) out of it. I was EXTREMELY disappointed by it because I thought Tim Burton could really do something cool with it. Opps, Solaris is from ‘72.
