When I was reading another review of the film, the reviewer indicated that Tim Burton had put all these "clues" throughout the movie to hint at the ending to come, but I must have missed ALL the clues, as did the other 5 people with whom I attended to the movie.
I thought the movie was "ok". Although the racial analogies between US/earth and the ape planet were nice attempt...I kept thinking "Amistad" when they had the branding and the neck chains. Clearly, that was not sitting well with me at all. Secondly, I kept thinking "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Back"...Amistad and Animal Farm. There were a few niggling holes in the story that kept bothering me as well.

I can see your "wrinkle" theory happening too. I think mine might be more along the lines of the original though, at least as far as Thade getting in his pod and going to earth. It could be a bit farfetched that he figured out how to use it, but they never explained how they flew the spaceship in "Escape From the Planet of the Apes" At least I don't think they did...
