2001?
In the original, the despairing ending was finding the remains of human civilization, which had destroyed itself.
In the 2001 version, it bizarrely ends with the main character returning to Earth, only to find that he'd changed the past or something and apes ruled in the modern day, complete with a statue of Ape Abe Lincoln.
I suppose the image, with the T-Rex surrounded by puzzled humans, felt more like the latter than the former to me.
The new movie unfortunately didn't explain it properly, but going into the time distortion just minutes later meant arriving years earlier in the future. That's why the genetically enhanced apes had arrived generations earlier despite Mark Wahlberg going into the singularity first.
At the end of the movie, Mark Wahlberg goes back to Earth, but the apes presumably followed him decades later, arriving hundreds of years earlier on Earth. That's why they could change history.
