Planet of the Apes

 (2001)

Action | Sci-Fi



After a spectacular crash-landing on an uncharted planet, brash astronaut Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) finds himself trapped in a savage world where talking apes dominate the human race. Desperate to find a way home, Leo must evade the invincible gorilla army led by ruthless General Thade (Tim Roth) and his most trusted warrior, Attar (Michael Clarke Duncan). Now the pulse-pounding race is on to reach a sacred temple that may hold the shocking secrets of mankind's past - and the last hope for it's salvation!

Planet of the Apes Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Planet of the Apes takes users back in time to when Fox still provided Blu-ray content utilizing the MPEG-2 codec. Presented in 1080p high definition and presented in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio, Planet of the Apes makes for a decent, but far from spectacular, Blu-ray image. The image leans to the dull side of the spectrum, with little in the way of fine detail or clarity throughout. The white interior of the station looks very pale and underwhelming, not nearly as sharp and crisp as expected. The image is also fairly soft in many shots, with numerous background and foreground objects never appearing very well defined. Blacks hold up only moderately well, appearing a very dark shade of gray, and also including the most abundant noise as seen in the image. Many dark objects seem to take on a purple tone which gives select shots an odd sheen. Grain is present over the image and is noticeable throughout, but is never a distraction to the overall presentation. Rather, it adds a nice film-like appearance to the disc. Fine detail is minimal. Even the film's more elaborate shots, like a dinner table scene in chapter 10, never reveal good, sharp, detail or textures. Only close-ups of faces, particularly those of the elaborate ape makeup, feature high levels texture and detail. Flesh tones are neither strong nor poor. Planet of the Apes makes for a decent high definition experience, but viewers accustomed to the finer transfers on the market will certainly be disappointed by the overall quality of this disc compared to the best transfers currently available.


Planet of the Apes Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


As usual for a Fox title, Planet of the Apes crashes onto Blu-ray with a powerful DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Danny Elfman's (The Kingdom) score over the opening credits features a fine, bass-rich, tribal sound which flows through entire soundstage nicely, solidified in the front but with palpable support from the rears and the subwoofer. This track features excellent imagining and directionality as sound flows naturally across all the speakers, matching precisely with the imagery on-screen. Bass is often thunderous and the rear channel presence is engaging. The sequence in chapter four, as Davidson chases after the pod in which Pericles disappears, and then subsequently disappears and crashes onto the planet himself, features virtually incessant surround use and bass that rumbles the foundation. Much of the same can be expected of the rest of the track as it features a nonstop sonic assault during the numerous action sequences. Topping off a very good soundtrack is decent ambience spread throughout the film and effortless dialogue reproduction.
