You should read the book.  It's also good, but different.

Yeah... In the book, it really was a different planet,
(with parallel evolution of humans and apes, *sigh*) and
he got the special relativity thing right as best as I
can recall.

The first "Planet of the Apes" movie was consistent with that.
But when they decided to do sequels, they introduced the
wacky space time wedgie thing to get back to present day.
