”Is there a soul in there?”
Planet Of The Apes (2001) [3-CD] (Expanded Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - Danny Elfman
Tim Burton’s underrated re-imagining, which is derided as the black sheep of the Planet Of The Apes movies, was released in theaters 20 years ago today. The movie is still rated by many as Burton’s worst movie. I prefer POTA ‘01’ over Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, and Dumbo. For the most part I thought it was a pretty good popcorn movie. Tim Roth, the late Michael Clarke Duncan, Helena Bonham Carter, Paul Giamatti, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, David Warner, and the majority of the actors in makeup did great acting through all that make up while at the same time capturing the mannerisms of simians. Charlton Heston’s cameo was one of the film’s highlights. The make up, which would now be all motion captured today, is still impressive as expected from Rick Baker. For a movie with a rushed production and schedule the cinematography and production design is top notch as expected from Burton. Even though I don’t care much for Mark Wahlberg as an actor I thought he was tolerable as the lead. And I never had a problem with the ending like most did.
Last but not least Elfman’s tribal score, which has the solid blend of electronics, percussion, and orchestra, was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. Not only is it right up there with Goldsmith’s original (for me at least) but it‘s one of my favorite scores of 2001. The “Main Titles” is up there with Elfman’s best, which is impressive for a composer with plenty of great main titles on his belt. Elfman was very invested in this score as he performed a lot of the synthesizers and percussion instruments himself. Overtime the score doesn’t seem to have gotten enough of the acclaim it deserved due to the film’s poor reception. I always admired it in the movie and the original soundtrack but the 3-CD expansion, which also included the original album, made me more appreciative of this score. The 3-CD set might be a bit on the long side for some due to it’s 3 1/2 hour total run-time but it offers some more breathing room in the score compared to the original album on it‘s own. As well as more what I like about the score in general.
