In Reply to: Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" posted by mikenyc on April 10, 2002 at 12:48:41:
The ending in Tim Burton's film holds about as much logic as a vacuum holds air. First we have to assume the plausability of those time reversal alternative universe changes; if you can get beyond that, how does the ingenious Mr. Walburg take that little escape pod across the vast sea of space in such a short time before landing on the alternative earth? He didn't even run low on oxygen! Naw, the ending had the aroma of being tacked on for it's shaggy dog effect. The original Planet of the Apes was far superior even with Mr. NRA in it!Audiophilander
Follow Ups:
The remake's ending was just absurd. We're expected to believe that the apes would, given enough time, build a city that looked exactly like Washington DC complete with a Lincoln Memorial (does that mean that there was once an ape Civil War and an ape Gettysburg Address?). It didn't take animal senses to smell a "trick" ending coming when Marky Mark came zooming back to Earth. The original's ending was genuinely surprising at least and didn't require a complete suspension of all critical faculties.
And Hollywood collects my 8 bucks...
