It shares the similar premise with the old series of the Planet of the Apes. For those who have watched the old series before, I will say it isn’t remade directly and I reassure you that you will find everything is different now with similar themes.
Since I’m trying to persuade you to see this film so I won’t say much about the plot. But I do want to talk about what the movie suggests.
Maybe you are tired of supernatural stuff films? Without magic, without tremendous mechanical power, Rise of the Planet of the Apes will make you feel that “Oh, wow, this really might happen!” Try to image one day apes will rise and override humans to become slaves of another primate, which walk upright just like us.
They reproduce faster, they have more muscles, and they are smart. Maybe we are smart too, they are not smart enough, but the film tells you what will happen when they become smarter by a tiny mistake made by a naïve and intelligent scientist.
The point is that is that it is realistic to some extent! And that’s why science fictions are so fantastic!
And actually, not every result has a persuasive reason. The film does not depict how guilty humans are. The catastrophe was not determined, it was not destiny, we didn’t deserve it. But it happened. And again, that’s the reason why I like fictions, they expose you to some crazy ideas and they really force you to image and torture you day and night!
And probably, the sequels will come ... maybe not shortly, though. I’ll let you know.
But at least enjoy the beginning and get that mind of yours cranking.
