I first saw this movie when I was little and I remember crying because I thought of how much that would've sucked, to have known it was Earth all allong.

But uh, I dunno, I never thought of that. I bet in one of the many sequels (which I havn't seen) they might explain it, or have little tidbits to make you guess.

But I just figured maybe the monkeys evolved or something and then took over the humans, became smarter and shît.

The new planet of the apes is horrible. Especially the ending. They tried to throw in another twist ending when Mark Walburg gets back to earth, but it makes absolutely no sense what so ever. Its gay. And in the battle at the end, the apes all get back up after the trusters go off on the ship. That pissed me off. Those guys shouldve at least died.

The old one is incredible. I always looked at it as there was a nuclear holacost, and evolution once again took over, and apes evolved into the dominate species on the planet.

Thats my take.

i think it was intended to be nuke wars. Because that whole dead zone they couldn't enter i thought was like a nuclear damaged area, and human agression destoryed us. And then monkeys evolve yada yada
