The film crashes from its visually stunning opening act to a universally derided ending that reviewers called nonsensical and anti-climactic.
Burton's Planet of the Apes starts strong with impressive visuals and makeup work that critics praised, but gradually loses steam through its middle act as character development falters. The film's reputation was ultimately destroyed by an ending that reviewers universally condemned as confusing and poorly conceived, making it a technical achievement undermined by narrative failures.
