...convoy of cars and taxis filled with journalists and interpreters was halted at a bridge by bearded guards bearing Kalashnikovs. A few vehicles managed to speed away but two were trapped.

And like I said, it?s still a pretty good movie. But while the 1968 "Planet of the Apes" succeeded in spite of its shortcomings - mostly technical, some tonal - Burton seemed mostly interested in shoring up his predecessors? weak points rather than aiming for the stars with the movie?s inherent potential for intelligence and at least surface profundity.
