Continuity mistake: When they cross the river and arrive at the other side, they are all dry. Mark Wahlberg was in the water up to his neck and sometimes higher yet he seems to be completely dry.

Planet of the Apes 2001 is an action/adventure/drama/Sci-Fi film by Tim Burton that takes the 70s stories sort of up to present day; the apes are evolved enough to speak and ride horses, humans are cowed and a bit more primitive, a scientist comes to "save" them, etc. BUT some expectations are subverted. A better-than-average take on the whole monkey business, great SFX and armor for its time, and even a bit of a love story (gasp!). There "should" have been a sequel to the film, but then again, maybe not. OK for its time.

Answer: To prevent anyone else from learning that Leo came from space. After Pericles' ship crashed, there was a prophecy of a second coming of Semos, the founder of Ape civilization. Thade wants to kill all humans, so if anyone found out, it would be considered a sign and the council might consider making peace with the humans.
