The document compares and contrasts the movies Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and After Earth (2013). Both movies depict a future where human civilization has collapsed due to environmental disasters. In Dawn, a deadly virus wipes out most humans, while in After Earth, humans are forced to abandon Earth due to inhospitable conditions. In both stories, the remaining humans face threats from new dominant species - intelligent apes in Dawn and predatory aliens in After Earth. Both films also involve themes of father-son relationships and survival in a post-apocalyptic setting. While the movies explore similar concepts, the document argues they each offer unique perspectives and creative visions for humanity's future relationship with Earth.
