"Planet of The Apes" prequel trailer teases (potentially) awesome movie with (probably) shitty moral/message

Y'know what's great about the PoTA franchise? Since it's ALL about time-travel and alternate-history, this could easily be considered a sequel, prequel, reboot and in-name-only-cash-in all at once. Depicted below: James Franco is putting on his seriousface for reverse-ironic lulz a scientist using primate brain-research to seek "the cure" (Alzheimers again, I'm assuming?) who ends up creating super-intelligent, revolution-minded simians. Money shot? A gorilla preparing to beat up a helicopter. Ticket. SOLD.



How awesome does that look? So awesome I almost don't want to vomit right now...

Great Rao... can I BE anymore sick of once again hearing the clear "voice of reason" character somberly intone "some things aren't MEANT tobe changed!" as a 'step back from the brink' line to the "mad" scientist?

Some things aren't meant to be changed? Oh, well - my mistake! By all means, let's unplug all those artificial hearts, siphon out all those lifesaving medicines and unsew all those awful ungodly stitches - after all, clearly all those "natural causes" weren't MEANT to be stopped from killing people. Never forget, kids: Science is a scary, hard-to-understand thing that smart people do; which means it's scary and evil.

Egh. Yeah, fine, movie looks great so far and I can't hold this "against" it at this point, but still... when did it get decided that Science Fiction always had to be about making people AFRAID of human progress?
