The time span from the first movie is not particularly far away. The story takes place ten years after "Rise of the Apes", but in the event it seems to have crossed a world. The virus has destroyed most of humanity, and the apes are rising in the forest. The civilized structure in the first part has disappeared. Like the world where things are not human, this sequel basically does not inherit the style of the previous one, but only inherits the origin of the upper story.
The plot is quite simple to sum up. Humans encountered difficulties and had conflicts with the apes. The differences between humans and the apes, and the relationship between the apes and the apes, eventually went wrong, and gradually developed into the battle of dawn. The old-fashioned contradictory engine is driving the old-fashioned story. From the summary of the story, there is no new trick at all, and this series is originally an old film and a new shoot. The implication is still the same: the evolutionary history of the apes civilization is like a replica of human history. This is a review of humans from the ape tribe; juxtaposition of the ape tribe and mankind, all life will inevitably fall into a cycle of tragedy, this is from The Creator’s God’s perspective examines life.
The meaning of a movie and a series is almost close to being told in advance, are they still worth looking forward to? Whether there are absolutely new ideas and deep enough, in many cases the focus is not on these, but on whether the process of presenting the main idea is wonderful. The "Sorrel Ball" series proves that the remake is still worth looking forward to. "War of the Dawn" meets most of the wonderful requirements and beautifully completes an epic sequel. In the "Planet of the Apes" series in the 1960s and 1970s, the first "Ball of the Apes" was a blockbuster, and the following four sequels were of uneven standard, and the overall quality declined severely; from the current two, the new series is expected to surpass it in an all-round way. Boss. Under the dual escort of technology and narrative, the story of the orangutans has a sense of rebirth.
Motion capture technology is a remarkable achievement of the two "Rise of the Apes", and in terms of content, their descriptions of the rise of the apes and the confrontation between the apes are embedded with more reasonable scientific logic, and no longer look like the old version. The conceptual narrative is so rough that it seems to have only raw edges. As an action blockbuster, the relationship between Jason Krakow, Gary Oldman, etc., as well as the orangutans such as Caesar and Coba in "War of the Day" has changed. The movie is ashamed. The delicate portrayals in the film allow the emotion and tension on the screen to penetrate beyond the screen with minimal loss.
The opening of the pseudo-documentary style is undoubtedly to enhance the sense of reality. Director Matt Reeves reproduced the main skills of the famous work in a small way. The whole film of "The Clover's Archives" adopts a pseudo DV style, and the plot is just a simple story of "Godzilla" invading New York. Reeves' modification and improvement techniques are quite clever. He not only follows the tradition, but is also good at incorporating new styles into it. Audiences who have watched the Swedish version of "Don’t Go In" may think that the American version of Reeves is too respectful of the original version, so it is a bit dull, but they should not forget the film’s impressive warm yellow tones and cool blue and gray tones. . "Rise of the Apes 2" continues a similar visual style. The dark yellow and cold together firmly build the solemn atmosphere of the whole film. If the plot is history, the light and shadow are poetry. Humans and apes are repeated in the poetic picture. The ancient carnage.
From the perspective of viewing only, the popcorn index of 2 is lower than 1, and 1 strictly fulfills the required actions of blockbuster films. The connection between establishment, development, and climax is naturally compact, and there are some high points. 2 The face is completely straightened, and the humorous section is only sporadic. It pulls away from the climax. It seems that the climax may also appear frivolous to the overall tone. Regardless of the reason, the director was obviously deliberate. He suppressed the burst of vulgarism and allowed the burnable place to converge on the performance. He balances the scenes of humans and apes, blurring the perspectives of the two, so this is different from the first, the sense of substitution and the progression of emotions are misplaced, rather than letting the flow go to the climax. Reeves’ habit of respecting the elderly is concentrated on the soundtrack this time. The heavy percussion and drum beats are adapted from the old version. Although they have been processed into the mainstream, the original music’s avant-garde flavor in the 70s is obviously not conducive to inciting emotions. The soundtrack for the first "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is much more "independent". Apart from the occasional drumbeat, it generally uses a soundtrack strategy similar to that of today's mainstream blockbusters.
When a movie is so serious, if someone laughs from time to time while watching it, there are only two explanations: either the director’s job has messed up, or the work has encountered its undesirable audience. As for Reeves's lack of comparison with orangutans, what he made was a choice in line with the theme of the movie. In this movie, which explores life and civilization, it is naturally inappropriate to let orangutans be cute as pets. Refusing to make comparisons, starting from the apes, the director successfully resisted the temptation of entertainment and dedicated an epic sequel that is sufficient to eliminate the prejudice of the sequel.
