If you're a sci-fi fan who loved the original Planet of the Apes, this sequel delivers more imaginative world-building and mystery—but fair warning, it's a step down in quality with a divisive ending that killed the franchise's momentum. Watch it tonight only if you're committed to the series or crave that campy '70s sci-fi vibe.

The sole survivor of an interplanetary rescue mission lands on the planet of the apes, and uncovers a horrible secret beneath the surface.
