Just got through seeing Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.The ending works for me as well. I don't know what the controversay was about, but it actually works better than the original film. It is more surprising and more of a promise of things to come, than the original.
One thing that struck me about the ape characterizations was that there was more genuineness in the subtext of film reality about the whole concept of the film, than the original.
