"Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World" has a Douban score of only 6.5 points, and I have to say that the reference value of the score is getting lower and lower now, and it can even be said to be meaningless, because the score is really not fair enough!
As the fourth installment of the "Planet of the Apes" series, it should actually be divided into a second season! The first season of "Planet of the Apes" has one or two three, and the second season has opened one or two three, "New World" is the first part of the second season, and the time is more than a thousand years later, and the humans and apes that appeared in the first season no longer exist at all!
The first season trilogy was very successful, and this "New World" made many people feel that there was no reason not to watch it, but after watching it, most of them thought it was not ideal, and the score reached an embarrassing point of 6.5 points.
In fact, this score is really too unjust for this masterpiece! Of course, it may also be the self-inflicted nature of "New World", who made it position itself as a science fiction theme! The reason why many people give bad reviews is that they normally think it's not sci-fi enough!
As a science fiction theme, it is really almost meaningless for audiences who are used to watching big scenes, and they almost fail to feel the charm of the so-called special effects!
In fact, this type of special effects is all spent on the production of orangutans, but for the audience, it is just a (group) of orangutans, not to mention special effects! The special effects that the audience thinks more often refer to the explosion on the screen, who cares how soft the fur on your orangutan is burned with money?
However, if you take a serious look at this work, you will find that there is a lot of stamina, it is definitely a rare masterpiece, the overall situation of this work is very grand, and the problem between man and ape is also very tragic!
On the surface, the apes are afraid that humans will take back the initiative to manipulate the world! And humans take it for granted! But they have forgotten the root cause of the problem!
Why did humans fall to the rule of orangutans? Isn't it just that I am floating? All kinds of messy viruses are constantly being developed, and the result is backfired. It has led to the extinction of mankind on a large scale, and it has also led to the decline of human civilization!
Can this be blamed on the orangutan's anti-guest? Isn't it your own endless desire that leads to this road of no return? And the rest of the humans have been struggling, they all see orangutans as their worst enemy, but they never reflect on what is wrong with them?
In the more than 1,000 years of human depravity, the rise of orangutans has only learned to speak human language, read books and only look at pictures, and basically do not know the words! I can only make simple power generation tools..., oh, and some of them have learned to train eagles!
In the more than 1,000 years since evolution, it can only be said that the progress of their civilization is too slow! It's just not enterprising! So! Can humans be blamed for trying to destroy them again? For the ape who failed to grasp the opportunity, the cruelty of reality cannot be blamed!
Even if humans don't attack, a civilization as vulnerable as orangutans will perish sooner or later! There is no need to complain at all, and it is always thought that human beings are intimidated by their existence. The main thing is that they are not strong enough!
Caesar's emphasis on ape unity: more refers to the apes to give full play to their own strengths, gather together, and let the ape civilization develop as soon as possible!
It is not as understood by the later Saizaar, ruling group after group of other ethnic groups and forcing them to be slaves, after all, this will only exacerbate internal contradictions and endlessly hurt each other!
Humans blame apes for taking advantage of the void, and apes blame humans for being ruthless and unrighteous. This is the core point of "New World": both sides think that the other is hurting themselves, but never admit that they have a problem!
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World" is really not the old wine in a new bottle that the reviews criticized! The next three parts are completely different from the core values to be expressed in the first three parts!
The first three are about how humanity brought about its own destruction! From the fourth part, it is about whether it is humans, apes or other species, they always need to face the cruel problem of the development of their own race!
But in any case, this contradiction is not easy to solve! If you don't develop well, you will resent others for being too ruthless and leave no way to live! The development is good, and it is all because of the problem of desire, which leads to constant content disputes, and finally leads to foreign races taking advantage of it!
Noah has the demeanor of Caesar, but it does not have Caesar's good fortune, and Noah is in a situation of internal and external troubles! At this time, human beings were no longer in the mood to reason with them. And apes themselves have a lot of different opinions!
From the fourth part onwards, whether it is humans or apes, all they need to face is embattled! Each of their choices will also be more heart-wrenching! There is no right or wrong!
Right or wrong, just keep choosing! Some people say that the heroine is ruthless enough, but she really has no choice! Some people think that Noah taking the heroine into the forbidden land is the most wrong decision, but Noah has no choice! For them, it's all about survival!
"Rise of the Ape Ball: New World" is not a popcorn-type sci-fi movie! The topic of this series is actually very heavy, but this kind of masterpiece of conscience with a lot of ideas is not welcomed, and it is really a sigh to see such a low rating!
The war is about to break out, and I am looking forward to the follow-up development of the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series, which must be tragic!
