Everyone is so confused. \'Cept for EmporerRob, he\'s got it.
Just came back from the movie.
SPOILER:
2029, man and chimp go into the electic storm. Both go into the future (somewhere past the year 4000), chimp ends up showing at the end, 5 or so days after the man. The research stationalso goes into the storm, but travels into the past, so when the apes "retaliated" they had over 2000 years to evolve. Which is plenty of time, \'cause of their genetic manipulation and all.
So then the man saves humans, blah, blah, blah, he then flies off, to sometime around the year 2000, to an Earth that had been altered.
Assumingly the evil ape Thade decided to teach himself how to operate one of the pods (at least two should be on the crashed space station). He powered one of them with the nuclear core, and flew off into the electrical storm (I bet the trined chimp showed him how). He ended up on Earth with advanced weapons with a couple other apes during the time of Lincoln. Took control, and used the database of the pod to "mock" human history.
Well, that\'s what I got from it. Any opposing opinions?
EDIT: ABOUT THE RE-MAKE SHPEAL:
This movie followed the book much more closely than the original movie. Also in this movie the apes were less advanced (in the old one they lived in stone houses) and the humans were more advanced (in the old one the humans didn\'t have the ability of speech).
I see this as more of a different version of the story, rather than a simple re-make. It\'s much better than a re-make.
