Want to know what the deal was with the ending of Planet of the Apes? Don't ask Tim Burton.
When we met with the director at London’s Dorchester hotel, one of the first things we asked for was an explanation of the film’s ending. Unfortunately, Burton wasn’t in the mood to help; ‘No I’m not going to,’ he told us. ‘Because, one of the things I liked about this material is that its what I call ‘f*** you’ material. I don’t mean that negatively but…[here he went on to ponder Darwinism, fairy tales and folk legends] Basically, I’m not giving you an answer.’
Pretty please? ‘ No. I’ve always resented the literalisation of society, the conformity. You very early on realise that it’s all a load of crap, I mean, what’s conformity, what’s normalcy? It just diminishes people and puts them in categories and I hate that. So… yeah, I like to f*** with people’s heads.

Tim, Could it be that the ending doesn't make any sense! They are going to really have a hard time writing a sequel for this movie. But hey, if they can get away with bringing Ripley back, then they can get away with anything today, and the people buy it, so I guess a logicial story really doesn't matter anymore!!! Sad days these are!
