It would have been better if Miyazaki went to make this story.

Trust is something that this film has been repeatedly emphasizing. Gorillas believe in gorillas, gorillas believe in humans, and humans believe in gorillas. The theme is good, but I don’t think this kind of film should be expressed with a lot of ink. Really, let Hayao Miyazaki do it. The animation version, the effect may be better than this film, just replace the non-existent male protagonist with a little girl. The reason why the Planet of the Apes became the Planet of the Apes is not something that can be slapped with a slap. It is caused by the self-destruction of human beings and the rise of orangutans. Unfortunately, this film does not reflect the self-destruction of human beings. The remaining human society in the film is quite united, and even begins to come back to life - power generation. Humans are not finished, how do orangutans rise?

I heard that this film has a good reputation before watching it. Of course, most of the word of mouth gave Caesar's personal charm, not the film itself. After watching it, I was a little disappointed, and I didn't feel the role of this film as a link between the past and the future. After all, as the second part of a series of films, the human side was dying smoothly, but the orangutans should have evolved to a more developed stage, but this film In addition to allowing the orangutans to collectively recognize words, there is no sense of evolution, but instead they have become an aboriginal existence. Then, the orangutans first effortlessly took a large number of weapons from the well-guarded human arsenal, and then, without any training in firearms, came to a horse-riding battle that made the recoil cry in the toilet. Not to mention recoil, I haven't seen a scene of shooting with a semi-automatic rifle while riding a horse for a long time. The reform of this kind of Hu uniform riding and shooting is going really smoothly. Do the orangutans know how to open insurance? Double guns? It's very accurate. It is estimated that many firearms enthusiasts don't know what to say when they see it there.

This time the human characters are all soy sauce characters, which is well received. Of course, soy sauce is not a derogatory meaning. After all, a little soy sauce only tastes good when cooking. This time only the star Oldman appeared, but is it really necessary for Oldman to play this role? I can't think of any other reason other than cheating at the box office. When I knew that Fu Lan would not star in the second part, I felt that this second part might be watery, but I didn't expect it to be really watery. Let's see what happens in the third part. If the third part is the final one, the orangutan can at least start to make tools and use electrical appliances.

    Telling a simple story that can guess the plot after reading the trailer is thrilling, the atmosphere is tense and suppressed from beginning to end, and the narrative rhythm is fast and no nonsense. A lot of lines are sonorous and powerful, full of emotions, and extremely contagious. The contradiction is simple, reasonable and thought-provoking, and the sense of despair and fatalism lasts until the last shot of the film.

    Three and a half. Talking about orangutans is actually talking about people, about things between people, betrayal, and trust. The film strives to create an epic feel, with a larger and heavier background than the first one, while paving the way for the next larger world. The capture technology becomes the real protagonist, making it difficult for you to distinguish between humans and monkeys. Technically, it's really good, but the plot is short of breath, and it's just a moment of more excitement. The whole film is depressed, night scenes, flames. The scene is bigger, but not as touching as the first one
