Yeah, it didn't explain anything. I appreciate the loop they created with Cornelius and Zira's baby is what created the sentient apes... but it doesn't really hold water. All of the cats and dogs die off from some mysterious disease, so apes become the new go-to pet? That wouldn't happen. And while it makes sense that Cornelius and Zira's baby would be sentient, zero explanation is offered as to how all of the other apes suddenly start being able to talk.
"Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" (basically, the film that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" remade) is pretty lame.
1 and 2 are pretty cool, though. And ballsy. It's pretty rare to see movie #2 of a series completely destroy the planet.
