Planet of the Apes

Okay, so we are doing a study on life on other planets. We watched "Planet of the Apes" as one of our movies. That doesn't really line up. They never actually get to another planet. Sorry if I spoiled the movie for any readers, but it's so old, you really can't blame me. I guess it's interesting to speculate on the possibility of there being a planet or alternate universe where a single thing, in this case which species evolved to become dominant, is changed and how that affects everything else. In the case of this movie, it just has the roles reversed. It is definitely fun to think of how other species on other planets might evolve differently from us. What would they look like? Would they be intelligent? What kinds of adaptations would they have to survive in their environments? This movie doesn't explore those a whole bunch because it all happens on our own planet where we know how things work. It's very interesting to see that the only things that really changed were the humans and primates. All other plants and animals were pretty much the same as we know them today. Truthfully, I almost believe that this movie fits more with time travel than life on other planets.
