Planet of the Apes
-
I've covered the whole, we get movies much later than the rest of the world before. Plus I watched it on video so it was even longer to wait for release. I have a problem with the ending of Planet of the Apes. To me it wasn't logical (if any time travel plot ever is) and I am hoping someone truly understands what happened and can explain it to me. The year was 2029 and Marky Mark (minus the Funky Bunch) and his pod is sucked 700 hundred odd years into the future. Meanwhile his mother ship the Oberon is sucked at least a few thousand years into the past. The Apes from the Oberon kill the humans and then evolve into the dominant species. Marky Mark appears in the time of a General Thade who wants to kill all humans on this planet (I don't believe it is Earth). Thade is a direct descendant of Simos (leader of original killer Apes from Oberon). At end of movie Thade is trapped in wreck of Oberon and Marky Mark escapes back to Earth 2029. Once there a statue of General Thade is there in place of Abraham Lincoln. Problem for me is that Thade doesn't exist for another 700 odd years and was on another planet. Even if he escaped he had no way to travel to Earth or back in time. Even if the whole thing was set on Earth and the Oberon existed on earth thousands of years before 2029, Thade still didn't exist yet. So he couldn't have been an historical figure made into a statue. Can someone explain how this was meant to actual work? If your too young or old too remember, Mark Wahlberg was lead singer of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch in either the late Eighties or early Ninties. Even though he has become a legitimate actor (and a fine one in my opinion) I still think of him as a pathetic singing wannabe. Michael Martin Australia mmartin@netspace.net.au "Don't belong.

Hello Mr Martin [self made joke connoisseur], You are right. The movie's ending was illogical, totally. I hate illogical endings, because we waste 3-4 minutes trying to give it some logical meaning and finally realize that the dumb movie director used this just for a cheap anti-climax or because he thought that would pave the way for a next part. But basically you can give it this sorta logic. Perhaps he skipped a few reality planes and ended up in a reality plane where this ape man general exists 700 years in the future on earth. In this parallel reality or dimension earth is full of apes. I hope this has satisfied your curiosity and I hope you ca now go back to writing that volume you are working on titled, "How to analyze and assess good solid jokes?".

And can someone please explain to me why it is that although only chimpanzees were aboard the spaceship that crashed, there were somehow gorillas and orangutangs on the planet as well? Did the chimps spontaneously mutate? :confused: Scorpio

How can we be sure that the statue is of general thade?. Most of the apes in the movie looks similar except for their costumes and ornaments. Vimal

Michael Martin wrote: Can someone explain how this was meant to actual work? I think your problem is that you are comparing the original film and book to this new film. The director directly tells you that it is not a literal and factual remake. He takes a lot of liberties with the original story. As far as I know the planet Marky Mark goes back to, with the apes on it in stone age form, is NOT Earth in the future. It is a totally different world or rather an alternate universe with a different timeline. In the book it was Earth in the future, in this latest movie it is not. So that clears up the whole problem of a "logical ending". However saying all that I thought the movie sucked and the ending was even more disapointing than the ending of The Neutronean Alchemist (a series of books by Hamilton.) In fact I felt physically ill by the director thinking that he could end a film like that and expect people to like it! Calling it a cliche would be an insult to cliches. bottom line? nobody should care much about the movie or whether it is logical. The only good bit is the credits at the end saying you can go home now and cry in frustration. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?

Even if the whole thing was set on Earth and the Oberon existed on earth thousands of years before 2029, Thade still didn't exist yet. So he couldn't have been an historical figure made into a statue. Can someone explain how this was meant to actual work? If your too young or old too remember, Mark Wahlberg was lead singer of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch in either the late Eighties or early Ninties. Even though he has become a legitimate actor (and a fine one in my opinion) I still think of him as a pathetic singing wannabe. Michael Martin Australia mmartin@netspace.net.au "Don't belong.

Another thing... - The movie suggest that only the "Apes" can land their spacecraft safely on "ANY Earth Type" of planet.

I've covered the whole, we get movies much later than the rest of the world before. Plus I watched it on video so it was even longer to wait for release. I have a problem with the ending of Planet of the Apes. To me it wasn't logical (if any time travel plot ever is) and I am hoping someone truly understands what happened and can explain it to me. The year was 2029 and Marky Mark (minus the Funky Bunch) and his pod is sucked 700 hundred odd years into the future. Meanwhile his mother ship the Oberon is sucked at least a few thousand years into the past. The Apes from the Oberon kill the humans and then evolve into the dominant species. Marky Mark appears in the time of a General Thade who wants to kill all humans on this planet (I don't believe it is Earth). Thade is a direct descendant of Simos (leader of original killer Apes from Oberon). At end of movie Thade is trapped in wreck of Oberon and Marky Mark escapes back to Earth 2029. Once there a statue of General Thade is there in place of Abraham Lincoln. Problem for me is that Thade doesn't exist for another 700 odd years and was on another planet. Even if he escaped he had no way to travel to Earth or back in time. Even if the whole thing was set on Earth and the Oberon existed on earth thousands of years before 2029, Thade still didn't exist yet.

I think you should see the old Planet of the Apes movies ( with Charlton Heston in 1968 and the 4 other ) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/series/-/247/VHStape//ref=pd\_ser\_bind/102-9361269-4438526 Those films are much better than the new remake.

For instance, if PacMan affected kids born in the eighties, we should by now have a bunch of teenagers who run around in darkened rooms eating pills while listening to monotonous electronic music."
