Is this also hard science fiction? ?

When I first saw this film, my first reaction was to think of 2001: A Space Odyssey. At the beginning of the film, the part where astronauts trekked in the seemingly alien desolate land really made me think that this was a hard sci-fi, and I entered the ape. Whether the future part of the world is considered hard science fiction, or more like a fable, I have a hard time judging.

After watching the first one, I went on to watch the second and third (the fourth was half asleep), and in general, the acclaimed genius ending of the first is actually for the later ones. There is a suspense about the process of human beings being replaced by apes to rule the earth. And Caesar, the descendant of the two language-capable orangutans who returned to the era of human domination from the future, is the beginning of the apes' domination of the earth. This is a bit cyclical, and it reminds me of another American drama - 4400

In general, this movie It is very different from the current sci-fi movies that are flooded with special effects. The clean pictures and unique narrative style make me understand that the reflection of human nature and the thinking of human society through sci-fi is not only a hobby of British dramas, but also American movies. .
