Planet of the Apes (2011 Version)

Entry #16

7/12/2011

I want to take this opportunity to elaborate on the correlations between what I’ve been learning in University Colloquium and the Planet of the Apes reboot.  This is a somewhat original story set in present day San Francisco, where manmade experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.  This movie is a prime example of man’s interference in the natural world.  The implications of such experiments would result in severe damage to the food chain and to all mankind with vengeful intellectual monkeys running amuck.  Did you know chimps are six times stronger than human beings?  I know the human race would be in trouble, but I wonder what would be the impact on the environment?  Food for thought.
