This was horrible. Totally drained of any intelligence, any creativity, and certainly any originality. Everything that was good and admirable about The Planet of the Apes was missing in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It was replaced with cheap special effects, inexplicable sci-fi, and a race of subterranean quasi-religious humans that seemed to have no real purpose.
I couldn't finish watching. I gave the movie an hour to correct itself and explain its new direction. It could not and did not, so I moved on.
