In fact, I don't have much to say about this "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: Battle of Dawn". This is an unsuccessful transitional work, paving the way for the third installment in 2016.
In terms of plot, this one is basically a gorilla version of Shakespeare. Orangutans and humans, when the two groups are trying to integrate, there are always some forces that are unwilling to change to stop them. In the middle, I have experienced conflict, betrayal, trust, disagreement, frame-up, blame, hegemony, and so on and so on. When these things happened between orangutans and humans, even if the lines were reduced by more than 80% compared with similar films, it was still possible to draw the conclusion from Caesar's words: "I thought apes were more trustworthy, but now I have I found that we are no different from humans."
In terms of technology, it is not much different from the first one, but it is more mature in skills. The entire orangutan team is completed by 8 special effects actors. Andy Serkis, of course, bears the brunt of it, and he plays Caesar's performance in every detail. The
human plot is slightly weak, and the role of the male No. 1 family is too bland, which is basically a model show. The male No. 2 Gary Oldman's acting skills are guaranteed, but he can't escape the weakness of the character. In the end, the bomb was detonated and Dong Cunrui was possessed.
Compared with Fu Lanlan, who only appeared in memories, it really pokes people's tears.
The surprise and shock of the first part of "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes" still leaves an aftershock in my heart. The discussion of human society is far more profound than the second part. The second part is determined to shift all the focus to the apes. In the end, Caesar's words predicted some of the plots in the previous story. arrival.
Rating: 70 points
Overall review: The mission of the second part of the trilogy was completed without success. Caesar is still domineering, and motion capture and long shots are still superb, but the plot really has no surprises.
