After watching the trailer for the new planet of the apes I have hope. They promise a movie with improvements which is the main point of doing a remake. What made the old planet of the apes so great was the social message in it. From what I can see is that they will continue with asking those questions of quality of life, equal treatment and second class citizenry. The original Planet of the Apes are a Sci-Fi must see for the story and social messages. Even if the effects and look are a little cheesy by today standards they did an incredible job with the very restricted budget they had to work with.
