The "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series was once the darling of the Chinese mainland film market, but seven years later, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World" did not continue the box office success of its predecessor.
Far from refreshing the audience's imagination, this sequel has provoked more thinking.
The story behind the film, as well as the perception and evaluation, all explore the way of coexistence between humans and apes.
It has been 300 years since Caesar left us, the great leader who led us to glory.
His figure still seems to echo in our hearts, but now, we live in a very different world.
The new protagonist, Noah, rises and tries to inherit the brilliance of Caesar.
His presence was supposed to be a hope, a signal to bring us back to the top.
But the tragedy is that at the same time, humanity has become our slaves.
What's going on? This is the focus of discussion among many netizens on the forum.
Some say that perhaps it is our destiny that apes will eventually rule the land; Others believe that this is a historical tragedy, that we were once allies who fought side by side, but now we are at odds with each other.
"I remember when we used to fight side by side with humans."
A netizen named "The King of Apes" spoke, "Caesar led us to freedom, and now, we have become tyrants who oppress them.
It's a tragedy. ”
"But we have Caesar's legacy, and we will find a way to coexist."
Another netizen who calls himself a "forest guardian" disagrees, "Human beings have become our slaves, this is a historical necessity.
We should walk resolutely and continue to lead the future of this ruin. ”
These dialogues, like a mirror, reflect the divisions and contradictions within the ape clan.
The struggle for power is once again energized, and every member of the ape clan is fighting for their own interests.
And all of this unfolds in a young orangutan named Noah.
"Noah is our future, and he will lead us to the light."
Some loyal supporters of the apes believe so, believing in the power of the new protagonist, "the torch left by Caesar will continue to burn in his hands." ”
There are also doubts about Noah.
"He's just a young orangutan, and it's up to the test whether he'll be up to the task."
Some ape conservatives are cautious, "We can't easily trust an untested leader." ”
In the midst of this chaotic ruins, the divisions and struggles within the ape clan intensified.
The struggle for power and the clash of beliefs have made the world even more turbulent.
And how all this will affect our relationship with humanity is a more complex question.
The storyline is gripping, and Noah explores the glory of Caesar's time with the help of Raka, the red-haired ape.
He joins forces with the human heroine Mei to bravely resist the rule of violence and try to find a way to coexist.
All this has sparked heated discussions and discussions among many netizens.
"After watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World, I felt like I had experienced a hearty adventure!"
A netizen excitedly shared his viewing experience on the forum, "The combination of Noah and Mei is simply perfect, and every scene makes people's blood boil. ”
"But I think the first half of the film dragged on a bit."
Another viewer questioned it, "The foreshadowing of the story is too long, and it's a bit impatient."
However, the climax of the second half is really exciting. ”
There are many such discussions.
"I think the gap between Noah and Caesar is still a bit big."
A fan expressed his opinion, "Caesar's leadership style and wisdom, Noah still lacks something. ”
"But May's character is the highlight of the film."
Another netizen agreed, "Her mystery and complexity make the whole story more colorful." ”
It is undeniable that despite the gripping storyline, the film fails to maintain the speculative nature of the first three films.
This point has also become the consensus of many audiences.
"Since the beginning of the Rise of the Planet of the Apes series, it has been known for its deep thinking and exploration of the relationship between humans and apes."
An old fan lamented, "But this time, it seems to be a little disappointed." ”
In the film, the complex relationship between apes and humans is vividly depicted, but it fails to dig deeper.
"I hope the film will show more about the possibility of coexistence between humans and apes."
One viewer expressed his anticipation, "That's the most appealing thing about this series. ”
And netizens have different opinions on the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World", and they have launched heated discussions and exchanges on various social platforms.
Some netizens praised the special effects and visual effects of the film: "The special effects are fantastic! It's just like the real thing! ”
"The shapes and movements of those apes are so realistic, it's completely immersive!"
These comments reflect the strong visual impact and audio-visual feast that the film brings to the audience.
Not everyone appreciates special effects and visuals so much.
"No matter how good the special effects are, they can't hide the lack of the story."
Some netizens raised questions about the plot of the film, "The movie relies too much on special effects, and ignores the emotional expression of the characters and the depth of the storyline." ”
The performance of the new protagonist Noah and the human heroine Mei has also become the focus of discussion among netizens.
"Although Noah worked hard, he was still a little worse than the Caesar of the previous work."
One viewer expressed his opinion about the film's main character, "He lacks a unique charm to relate to." ”
"In contrast, the role of the human heroine Mei is more compelling."
Another fan paid more attention to the human character, "Her mystery and complexity caught the audience's eye and made people want to know more about her past and inner world." ”
In terms of the theme and depth of thought of the film, netizens also have different opinions.
"The film explores the coexistence of humans and apes, but it seems to lack depth."
One reviewer pointed out the film's shortcomings, "This theme needs more thought and digging than simply presenting. ”
"But the film's touch on themes such as power and freedom is still worthy of recognition."
Another viewer agreed with the film's theme, "Although it may not be as profound as its predecessor, it also provokes the audience to think about the future of society and humanity." ”
The special effects were wonderful, but they didn't fully meet the audience's expectations.
Chinese audiences are more interested in the film's visuals and storyline, and the film fails to dig deep into the coexistence of humans and apes, as well as themes such as power and freedom.
The box office performance was not as good as its predecessor, reflecting the alienation of Chinese audiences from Hollywood blockbusters and the lack of Hollywood storytelling.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World" once again provoked the audience to think about the future of humans and apes.
The film may not have met the audience's expectations, but it raises a series of questions worth pondering.
In the not-too-distant future, perhaps we will have more explorations of humans and apes, as well as more stories about the way of coexistence.
