  ...for the apes who don't look much more realistic than they did in 1968.
  
  Main ones are played by actual small actors in motion capture suits like the ones used in Avatar, then CGIed.

    ship (and the smaller ones) was a large-scale model. Computer-generated fx suck. Great employment vehicle for the industry, unless you're an actor. It eats up all the budgets and has become the Hollywood industry.

      2001 set the standard for apes? The internal mechanism for the mouth was inovative for that time but that was it. Even the original Planet of the Apes makeups were better sculpted, painted and applied. Rick Baker has set the standard for apes for many years now. While Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes sucked a big cock as a movie the makeups were phenomenal. For true apes his work on Gorillas in the Mist is untouchable. Most people still think those were real gorillas

        In Tin-world there is an unarguable "best ape," "best painter," etc...and this "fact" is used to piss on others' enjoyment of the topic at hand.

    they looked like animals, not people in rubber masks. But we'll see!
