Generally, people who write reviews of this film will go back and review the 1968 "Planet of the Apes" to show their professionalism in film reviews. The young man pretending to be B will definitely take the opportunity to tell you about the Planet of the Apes series from 1968 and later, and of course he will add Tim Burton's remake version, and then regretfully say that Burton Speak) screwed up on filming the gorilla and won the Golden Raspberry Award that year.
In fact, even if you haven't seen the 1968 version, you'll think it's a good movie. The foreplay is long but the rhythm is smooth, and the climax is short but memorable. At the end, Caesar went to the National Forest Park and said to the actor, "I'm home. Now, are you still chasing it?", everyone can guess that this is just the beginning, and the sequel will roll in.
Of course, people who haven't seen the Planet of the Apes series will lose some taste for details. For example, the name of the orangutan is Caesar. People who have seen the original series should have a smile. There is a small clip in the film. The administrator is watching the universe. The spaceship was broadcast live, and then the next day's newspaper was that the spaceship was missing, and those who read the old version knew that the spaceship would return, to a planet ruled by gorillas.
But the joy of tasting these details is like the pursuit of the acidity and bitterness of black coffee. Even if we can't taste it completely, it won't affect our coffee too much, so when discussing this movie, we don't have to move out of 1968 and sigh." That's a classic!"

In fact, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" should be an independent Planet of the Apes series.
The 1968 version of Planet of the Apes begins when astronauts land on a planet ruled by orangutans. Humans have degenerated to the point that they can't speak. The buddies are puzzled. They win sympathy and escape through hardships. The Statue of Liberty suddenly realized that she was on the earth after the human beings used nuclear war to destroy civilization. Therefore, the series of versions tells that the nuclear war destroyed human civilization, made the orangutan become awesome, and became the ruler of the earth. At the end, the hero's despair when he saw the Statue of Liberty is indeed a classic.
In 2001, Tim Burton's version of "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" (I really don't like this translation) received bad reviews. I didn't make it after the review, I thought it was a stand-alone film, and there was no plan to have a sequel from the beginning, because it was about another possibility for orangutans to rule the earth.
"Rise of the Planet" is the third conjecture. The legendary life of Caesar, the excessive pursuit of drugs by human beings, and the interpretation of Caesar's process of becoming the leader of the first generation of orangutans have shaped the role of Caesar and left enough for the sequel. space.
The first series is that nuclear war gave the orangutan a chance, the second was that time gave the orangutan a chance, and the third was that biochemical drugs gave the orangutan a chance.
So, be careful, orangutans will rule the planet every chance you get.

The following is Tim Burton's "Decisive Battle for the Planet of the Apes" vindication. Tim Burton assumed another possibility, but because many people did not understand it, or because they were looking forward to a passionate scene between people and apes, they found that it was just simple A kiss was angrily disappointed, and in the end, the film received a flood of bad reviews.
Because it is rehabilitated, the following text is aimed at those who have seen Tim Burton's version of the Planet of the Apes. Those who have not seen it can look at it and discuss it later.
First of all, the assumption of "parallel universe" is ruled out. Fan Wenqing of Deepin Technology said that the two landings of the male protagonist are in parallel universes. To this judgment, I can only answer, parallel your sister! If it were a parallel universe, this movie would be meaningless, so I totally reject this hypothesis.
Then someone said that the male protagonist did not land on the earth. The spaceship landed on this strange planet, and the orangutan killed the spaceship crew and ruled the planet. Then how can there be human beings who can talk? Oh, it's not clean, and humans have reproduced for several generations. Then why are there horses? So after being unable to explain it, these people can only point the finger at Tim Burton. The movie you made has too many bugs.
Well, now let's sort it out. First of all, when watching sci-fi movies, especially time-related sci-fi movies, you should pay attention to two points: 1. Pay special attention to the time that appears in the movie (in fact, the director will also give you a clear time Lens) 2. Treat the "grandma or grandpa paradox" differently. Let's talk about the "grandma paradox" again, saying that if a person goes back in time and kills grandma with a gun (scientific assumptions are always so barbaric), then there should be no future for him, then he can't go back to the past, and he can't kill grandma. It's a rather tangled assumption anyway.
Now we can briefly review the Tim Burton version of the story. In 2029, the spacecraft encountered something like a wormhole. First, a monkey was sent to explore the road. The monkey disappeared. The protagonist disappeared, and then the spaceship struggled and chased after him. The hero's small spaceship is shown to travel hundreds of years before crashing on a planet ruled by orangutans. The story advances, and it turns out that the big spaceship landed as early as a thousand years ago, and the gorillas killed the astronauts (cleaned up), and then began to evolve and become rulers. At the climax of the story, the little orangutan who set off first landed.
Therefore, the first wormhole crossing should be against the flow of time, so it started first and then arrived, and the big spaceship set off last, so it first arrived on the earth, and it arrived on the earth thousands of years ago. At that time, humans should still be primitive people, orangutans They killed the astronauts and joined the evolutionary process. Since the apes started from a higher starting point than the primitive humans, the orangutans later became the rulers.
The male protagonist arrives second. He arrives on the earth that has developed for thousands of years under that timeline. The society as a whole has advanced to the era of slavery, and cold weapons are fighting. The little orangutan left first, so it arrived last.
After the male protagonist escaped, he encountered a wormhole again. This time, the time on his spaceship showed that it was going backwards by hundreds of years, so it should actually be hundreds of years forward. Civilization has developed into modern society. To the Lincoln statue turned into a gorilla statue, in memory of General Seid.
Therefore, what Tim Burton wants to express is that the development of human science and technology has changed time, returning to the starting point of evolution. At the same starting point of evolution, orangutans are better than humans, and orangutans may rule the earth and develop well.
Some details will not be discussed on the blog, and the literary and artistic youth who criticize this film are welcome to fight with me.

As far as orangutans rule the earth, foreigners have imagined three possibilities, and each of them can be thought-provoking, and each generation of orangutan rulers is quite touching.
Looking at those bad films in China, I didn't think about these problems at all, and only made shit films like hilarious ones.
Not as good as a gorilla!
If orangutans really want to rule the earth,
start with China.
