In other words, they did something cool rather than something that made
sense. :) I have to condemn Final Fantasy for this as well - the ending was
a distubingly typical "let's show lots of fancy effects and do something
profound". Eh, it's not profound, it's not knowing how to write a story.
Lots of people can't, join the crowd.
My take on PotA is that something similar to the 3rd original PotA movie -
Escape from the Planet of the Apes. In that, Cornelius and Zira recover the
crashed pod from the first movie back in time to Earth's late 20th Century.
In Burton's PotA my assumption is that Thade recovers the crashed pod and
uses its technology to take over Earth in the early 20th Century.
Interestingly, the original PotA didn't invoke a wormhole or other time
travel mechanism at all - the explorers could simply have time dilated their
way into the far future (accidentally?). Only "Escape" necessitates actual
causality-mucking time travel.
