Problems.
1. There is no way on Gods green earth, that we will have a space station like that in 2029. I think they made a HUGE mistake by not pushing the events out a little further. In the past we all looked at the AMAZING things we could accomplish in the year 2000, or 2010 or whatever. Now we live here and we can all see that Technology is not advancing that fast. Movies need to recognize that, it totally disrupts the suspension of reality.
2. The ending. There is simply NO possible way to work this out. They Start in 2029, jump forward to 2543, and come back to 2150ish. How in the "HECK!" Is that supposed to affect events in the 1800's or earlier? If you take the line that my friend did and say the clocks in the ship were wrong, and he actually went back to the beginning of "evolution" or the distant past. Then how could Abraham lincon be Thade? He would have exsisted Gazillions of years before. Not to mention as smart as the Apes were, by 2150 or whatever, It would be stinking Star Trek or BCM.
Im sure they will come up with some totally REDICULOUS and unplausable explanation. I just cant understand how the writers and director could actually allow an ending like that.
The main character was totally uninspiring. The writers totally hozed it. They needed a Character who was brilliant, or action oriented, Or dynamic. That role should have went to someone like Heath Leadger (a knights tale, The Patriot).
The only area of the film that they nailed were the Apes. Totally awesome make-up. The lead ape Thade was just great.
Lastly. Whould any SANE red-blooded American Male go for the Ape chick over that TOTAL BABE??? I mean GIVE ME A BREAK!
Thats just sick and wrong. :rolleyes:
