I see no reason they couldn't squeeze another trilogy out of this.

It's best just to make 5 movies.

I never know 100% with you, but I admit, I do like the super odd nature of the original "quintology." 5 movies and mic drop. Like, OK. I honestly couldn't imagine any further movies that would have added much. They did a really great loop there.

Alright, I saw it yesterday and it was pretty good.

Spoiler:

Though that bird swarming scene at the end was kind of silly. Thankfully they didn't do the "Psychic Sewer Mutants" thing I feared they would and the surviving intelligent humans are just hiding in bunkers, and are now building a network. I'm also not sure what to make of the telescope scenes, maybe they're hinting that the spaceship is coming and we'll get the good old "Stranded Astronaut" story in part five, but it could also just be amazement at seeing celestial objects.

Spoiler:

But if they are going to do the astronaut story, what would that even be like? In this series it was always obvious the planet is just earth, and the convergent evolution plot from the book would be strange here. Would they take the part from the book where the astronaut returns from the alien ape world and expand that?
