Lack of heavyweight scenes - "Planet of the Apes (2001)"

After reading the film review, I learned that "Planet of the Apes" is a film with political metaphors. The first version of the original work was released in 1968. At the end of the first version of the film, it was revealed that the planet ruled by the apes is the earth, and it is the nuclear war of mankind itself. It led to the domination of the apes, with a strong sense of irony. The 2001 version does not have these contents. Although the characters in the characters have comments on human sins, the overall sense of warning has been greatly weakened. So the main selling point of this film may be that there are many bad shooting in 1968. New century stunt scene.


But unfortunately, the stunt scenes are not brilliant. Some of the special effects scenes in the film are a little rudimentary, such as the appearance and interior of the giant spaceship. It is commendable that the ape-man's shape is very realistic, not only with rich expressions, but also between different characters. The facial features are very obvious, and the makeup is almost seamless. It can be seen that this is the part where the most thought is spent on this film.


The overall look and feel of this film is slightly dull, which may be related to the fact that more dramatic contradictions are not fully explored at the end, and the direct reason is that the final battle at the end is too bland, neither the magnificent confrontation between the two armies in the cold weapon era, nor the advanced The dazzling scenes of science and technology have caused the audience's accumulated expectations during the viewing process to be unsatisfied and their emotions to be not fully vented. In one word: not enjoyable.


At the end, the protagonist returns to the earth and finds that the earth in the period he lived in has become an ape civilization, and the ancestor of this civilization is the ape leader he imprisoned in the planet of the apes. To explain, purely for the sake of being amazing and amazing, let the film deduct one more point.

    I didn't see it right back then.... the protagonist felt no mercy and no conscience.. and then the love scene was imposed.. inexplicably powerful...

    Ironically, for tim Burton's sake, tim Roth is really good for a neurotic character. The only joke is at the end. . . 2010.12.18
