Wow! I just can't wait to see it. thaqnks for the permission Dave.

Annette, thanks for the competition website address (it was a dead link, but I went to Fox.UK instead and found it.

Did you enter? Did you know there were actually two different competitions there?

I entered both -- easy questions -- so don't know what the chances are of winning.

Asmiley, do you want to know a little of the plot?

In the year 2029, astronaut Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) boards a pod cruiser on a space station for a "routine" reconnaissance mission.

But an abrupt detour through a space time wormhole lands him on a strange planet where talking apes rule over the human race. With the help of a sympathetic chimpanzee activist named Ari (Helena Bonham-Carter) and a small band of human rebels, Leo leads the effort to evade the advancing gorilla army led by General Thade (Tim Roth) and his most trusted warrior, Attar (Michael Clarke Duncan).

Now the race is on to reach a sacred temple within the planet's forbidden zone to discover the shocking secrets of mankind's past - and the key to its future.

Released in the UK: 17 August 2001

Stripe has just posted that the movie is behind schedule though POTA

Asmiley · 20th July 2001, 12:54 PM

Cool. For a sec there Iwasworried readingthe title of that thread you know...

Annette · 20th July 2001, 12:55 PM

Apologies for that Dave, couldn't have been concentrating.

I only entered the one competition.

Dave · 20th July 2001, 12:58 PM

No need to apologise, thanks for all the things you've sent me about POTA.

Annette · 20th July 2001, 01:02 PM

As long as you don't mind me passing them on.

Dave · 20th July 2001, 05:59 PM

No, like Asmiley, I'm really looking forward to this.

There is an internet rumour, not always believable, that there will be a 'Star Wars: Episode II' trailer shown before POTA. They are both FOX films, but it seems a little early for Episode II.

Dave · 20th July 2001, 07:37 PM

I know, not another one, but this one is good!

I can never get the official one to load.

Annette · 21st July 2001, 06:55 AM

Thanx Dave. It looks pretty good.

One question who is Paul Trachtenberg? The person 'In Memoriam'.

Dave · 21st July 2001, 07:04 AM

I don't know but I'll find out.

Dave · 21st July 2001, 07:24 AM

No Luck!

I guess that he must just be someone the website designer knew.

I did find this instead: Mr. T & Planet of the Apes .

That was just awesome Dave! Mr T VS Planet of the Apes Way cool! Never would have thought of that one!

Dave · 29th July 2001, 08:30 AM

There are now some reviews of POTA on the web now that it has been released in the USA.Dark Horizons has several. They are all pretty negative, unfortunately, and I didn't read all of them because some give away the ending. The start, which gets Leo to the planet, is supposedly very 'Star Trek:TNG' -ish. The middle part has some big 'Braveheart'-like battle scenes. The ending is badly done, and breaks all time-travel continuity rules.

I'll still go and see it, but I'm disappointed that it won't be better.

Asmiley · 20th August 2001, 05:40 PM

Pota Was da Bomb! It was just So awesome! the Ending was my Fave Part. You just have to see it! it is sooooo cool!
