Beneath the Planet of the Apes reviews
Beneath the Planet of the Apes holds a 6.1/10 average from 1,523 TMDB ratings.
**James Franciscus versus the mutant lunatics!** A great, dark sequel to the original classic that goes beyond the downbeat ending of the original and gives us an even more depressing one!
