They really need to keep time travel out of it in these films. I think this movie is where we will really see the new series split with the original one and maybe we see the planet of the apes develop differently than what it was in the first film of the original series.

That would be nice, but time travel is an integral part of the Planet of the Apes core story. Evolution and diaspora and the spread of ape culture globally would take at least 1,000 years. Probably more like 2000. So bringing the astronauts back into that time already necessitates time travel of some sort. Probably a vortex or wormhole of some sort. There would be no reason for these astronauts to have been in suspended animation like the first movie series. The book followed the Tim Burton movie very closely, even though it sucked (like the book), and even in that there was time travel. :(

Definitely not an established Mars colony. The human race succumbed to the Simian Flu, remember? No space travel, no colony. No resources or people to do it. In order to bring those astronauts back later in the film after the apes have established supremacy, they have to introduce time travel in some way. The supplies would be limited on that ship.

well, certainly not all of them did. it is a fiction, so the writers could say there was a space station with a few hundred men and women on it or a moon base, The martians could have drawn from them as the "new earth"

but hey, they are not going to go there with it anyhow. I think they are just going to stay with their Bay Area and 'Race to save the planet" theme

movie still looks great though!

time travel is an integral part
well if we want to stick with that theme

then

were the astronauts/mars mission we saw, did it have females astro in it?

if so, then a time travel from a sparsely populated mars could be possible
