So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven't read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
A wizard did it.
It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.
I actually skipped right past this comment earlier without realizing what you had done.
Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship
"Hnng hnngyeeess, the Eeevil Council are French! Nyah hah! Nnggyah! Power me up, babyy! Nggyah hah!"

gouald ha'tak vessels.
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
Weird how the copper of the slug statue looks older than the other ones. I hope someone got fired for that blunder
It's, like, even more futuristic copper so it colors differently.
🎵Oh my God, you're so wrong.
It was Earth, all along.🎵
I love you, doctor Zauis!

GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.
It could be that they’re not in the former area of NYC, but the statue made its way to where they are. She’s hollow, yeah? Could she float? Could she have been taken back by the French at some point and then sent to some island like Tahiti?
Or is this movie a distant sequel to Ghostbusters 2?
I think you're trying too hard to defend a shitty movie. :)
Nah just having fun. I like the theory down-thread that this is the Las Vegas Statue of Liberty.
Maybe George Lucas can buy the rights to the movie and change the ending to that giant sphere. GOD DAMN U2 ALL TO HELL!
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.

Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
thats dumb as fuck lol
I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.

No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.

It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.

The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.
See the other comment about Las Vegas
No no no. They explain that in one of the prequels. It wasn't global warming or an earthquake. It was caused by a virus. You can't knock a statue over with a virus.
How does a virus extend coastline 500 feet, and raising it 200 feet?
Via the lytic cycle. It just takes a while.
lytic cycle
many Gigatons of viral and animal life can cause increase in land mass, then?
I mean, I was joking before but I work O&G and can say confidently that my firm's petroleum engineering department wouldn't exist if it didn't.
