I honestly prefer the original series of The Planet of the Apes. The 1970s films are more my aesthetic preference and seem more coherent in terms of message. But this one is pretty, pretty bad.
Beneath the Planet of the Apes is fun to watch for the first half, there are recurring characters and an expansion of the story. But the whole nuclear atom bomb sub-plot is the kind of garbage better left in a black-and-white monster movie from the 1950s clearly written by someone utterly scientifically illiterate. How are the humans thriving underground without sun and fresh air, first of all? This and other questions will ultimately be met with a resounding "I do not care" once you watch The Coneheads mentally will two arrogant white dudes to kill each other.
