Planet of the Apes

Director Tim Burton's visually stunning "re-imagining" of the beloved '60s sci-fi classic stars Mark Wahlberg as a 21st-century astronaut who is transported, via a mysterious vortex, to a distant simian-ruled world in the far future. With help from kind-hearted she-chimp Helena Bonham Carter, Wahlberg leads the enslaved humans in a battle against the forces of vicious gorilla general Tim Roth while searching for a way back home.
