I just finished watching this on PPV ( never caught the theatrical
release.....'course, I'm talking about last years' remake ), and now I
just wanna know........were we supposed to be able to make some kind of
SENSE out of that ending, or did Tim Burton just throw that at us
because he thought it'd be cool, and damn the story continuity?

SPOILER SPACE
( just in case I'm NOT the last one here to see this )






























OK...........lessee..........there's no reason for us to believe that
the planet Marky Mark crashed into WASN'T an alien world several hundred
years into his future, is there? Coulda sworn I saw two or three moons
as his pod was going down...............

So, he went forward in time to crash, while the research station went
the opposite way to hit the same planet several thousand years earlier
( which is pretty darned amazing, but I'm willing to let it slide
)...........the survivors, ape and human, went on to populate the
planet. That's all clear as a bell, couldn't be any clearer, nope, no
problems there, es claro........I'm not even gonna ask where the horses
came from, as I couldn't conceivably care less..........

So how'd General Thade get from that future alien world to Earth's own
past?

And, if that alien planet turned out ( gasp ) to be ancient ( very
ancient ) Earth, then how is it that they'd be carvin' marble statues of
the guy wearing 19th-century clothing thousands of years later?

Does any of this make sense? Am I just denser than I _thought_? Or does
Tim deserve a good whuppin' for this?
