... he must be on Earth rather than reasoning that the Space monkeys - or rather the advanced alien beings who'd genetically modified Earth's great apes to give them the gift of speech and put them on another distant planet - hadn't simply also made a full scale replica of Earth's Statue of Liberty?
shareStupid post
Try better next time
mmm... I think you'd have to expand upon that without yours in fact looking like the "stupid post".
You've literally said nothing or added anything of any value. Therefore neither I or anyone else reading this can tell if you understand the full intellectual humor behind the OP and refute it or whether you are merely a simpleton howling at the moon...
Where else would you find the Statue of liberty??
WHY would any other species want to build one?

How Long is 30 Light years??
That's how long they were asleep
Obviously something else happened beyond a nuclear war, They couldn't see the moon at night for example, and with the various landscapes you see then finding the head of the statue at the end would indicate to me That perhaps a Meteor hit earth and Fd with the axis
Sooo all manner of things could happen Apes getting the ability to think and speak is not out of the realm of possibilities
Why English you ask?
It's an Amercan film DipSh*t
Sorry, I'm confused:-
Are you saying that Taylor should be calculating all this and surmising that even with the talking apes they could be on Earth the whole time and then be shocked at the end to discover they were on Earth the whole time?!! π€
Light years is a unit of distance, not time.
You don't say how long is 12 miles. That's how long they were asleep. (well, except in a very metaphoric way.)
They supposedly traveled to a system 30 light years from earth (like New York is roughly 3000 miles from LA). How long it took to travel that 30 light years would vary depending on how fast the ship was going. Minimally, 30 years if they were traveling at the speed of light; which is unlikely in the extreme. With current technologies, thousands of years.
Now, since the ship somehow returned to earth, additional complications would have to be taken into account.
For the sake of the story, any time frame the author, or screenwriters, would require could be justified.
