Over on the SPR thread

Ok, now that this is settled will someone explain to me the ending of the newest Planet of The Apes? I'm sure it won't take long.

Which brings me to the BIG problem I had with the movie......

WHERE THE F DID THE HORSES COME FROM!???

As far as I know the space ship had apes of various types. ( never saw any gorillas orangs but I will suspend disbelief for this point)

BUT HORSES???

There would be no logical reason to have horses on the ship.....so how did they get to the planet??

I was thinking the same thing... about both the ending and the Horses.

i was under the impression that it was a time travel issue (same planet Earth) only before the rise of man.

The apes were smarter than man at that point so they became the dominant species.

as for the ending, wtf? all i could figure is that after marky mark left, the bad monkey got loose and turned things around again.

Hmmm... That ending idea is a possibility, however, I thought that he pushed forward in time to where he crashed, while his ship crashed in his normal present, or possibly further back in time...

The "Ape-Lincoln" statue was the image of the evil monkey, General Thade (played by Tim Roth). So, he must have (somehow) gone back in time, but farther than that ass-puppet Mark Wahlberg, so he subordinated human society to a new society of apes.

Anyway, the sequel will have General Thade repeatedly ass-raping Marky Mark with a police baton in a detention cell. At least that's what I wrote in the script I sent to Tim Burton.

Ever think that the Lincoln statue was a knock on good ol' Abe?

i.e....By placing Thade's head on the Lincoln statue, they're implying that Abe was a warmonger who wanted to destroy that which he was afraid of (humans/the South).

Just a thought...

Of course it was. The whole underlying subject of the movie is slavery. What head of state has always been synonymous with slavery in this country? Who is the only head of state to be associated with those who are [i]STILL[/i] screaming:[i][green]"Victim! Look at me, look at me! I'm a victim! Pay ME! 40 acres and a Bentley baby!"[/green][/i] [size=1]Thats another subject....[/size=1]

Kinda makes me want to go out and buy a HighPoint carbine!

Damn dirty apes had them in the future, so they must hold-up pretty good.

Hey, I never saw any ammo factories in PoftheA...Where did they get it?

I know that in the original planet of the apes, it was the earth in the future, hence the statue of liberty at the end.

But I thought in the new movie that it wasnt Earth, I mean they were in the middle of space when he crashed into that planet....

I dont know, it was just a crappy movie.
