OK .... Burton was desperate to put us off the scent, so he puts two moons up there. He keeps saying, "This isn;t Earth, guys". So we hear the planet is uncharted and uninhabited. But this is all a ruse so we don;t guess the twist, that they have gone BACK in time and are unwittingly changing Earth's history/ evolution. The inconsistencies ARE explicable - we have to accept that the Earth had two moons millions of years ago - the moon is a shard of Earth chucked up there, maybe they collided and merged. We also have to posit that the ship went back so far, it was before significant life on Earth - their log says the planet is uninhabited. And it has to be so many eons ago that the Solar System has moved hundreds of lightyears in the Galaxy. The ship's computer therefore wouldn't recognise where it was - all our constellations were completely different millions of years ago. So, this now has symmetry - the original film's twist is that this planet is Earth's FUTURE, the new film's twist is that the planet is Earth's PAST. The problem is the horses ... how did they get there?????!!!!! Let's face it, they are in the film because apes in black armour look cool on horses.
