There is no decisive battle because it is not necessary.

Why must there be a big scene to feel enjoyable, and a commercial Hollywood blockbuster must have a simple to barren book, exaggerated transitions, and a true, good and beautiful ending?

When a commercial film spends more money on characters than scenes. It is enough to earn respect by going through the speculation to the end.

Through the confrontation between Caesar and the colonel, this book explores how the superiority of man is gradually lost, the dominance changes, and finally it is handed over to nature.

Nova asks: Am I an ape? Morris: You are a new star (Nova), not ape or human, but true, good and beautiful.

Overall, the script is excellent. I personally like this anti-human treatment very much. In the big environment, the setting of "people can't speak, apes are like people" runs through the whole film. The live-action special effects are still online, the rhythm is not too fast or slow, and it is very calm, creating a tragic sense of fate.

Of course there are deficiencies. The story is weak, and the Colonel's own contradictions have not been excavated too much. The role of Nova is also lackluster.

When I saw the end and recalled the source of everything, Caesar said "NO", but I have long since lost the excitement at that time.
