I am 100% convinced they had a masterpiece and then test audiences didn't get it and they went and changed everything around and added the prologue and gave away the entire twist at the start by explicitly telling the viewer where and when we are. Also made the dinosaurs weird for .... reasons...?
Wow, I watched that on opening night and there were like three people in the whole room. I don't remember much about it, but what really bugged me was the whole start of the film. A spaceship that is designed to travel fully automatically and immediately fails when there's a small asteroid field in its path? Absolute BS.
Oof. Having the statue of liberty there on the opening credits of Planet of the Apes
Like that, yes.
