I am a professional chimp wrangler, and I know as a fact that the character in this film is not a real chimpanzee. It looks nothing like a real chimp either. This CGI abomination proves that in modern society, we value fancy gadgets and computers over good old fashioned chimp labor. The directors of this film could have taken this in a great direction, this film could have had amazing potential. There have been a stream of great chimp-based spy films and television shows, including "Lancelot Link", "Spymate", and others. But this film, unfortunately, appears to have taken more after the film "Funky Monkey", which is the worst film I have ever watched. Now this film does not bring out the murderous rage that "Funky Monkey" did, but the CGI chimp coupled with the extremely mediocre, pro-interventionist plot make this film extremely dissapointing. I just hope this will not set a precedent, and directors will continue to utilize the boundless acting skills of real chimpanzees. This film could have been so much more. Bring back the chimps.
This is exactly the type of movies that shows the need to have a refund policy in movie theaters, from the first minute you know you have been fooled to pay for it.
I have no idea how they allow such movies to be shown in public, this must be illegal.

It is like if someone really went out of his way to make the movie this bad. Even my 9 year old daughter said the monkey, oh ape, doesn't talk much. The movie is nit even remotely funny at all. Silly beyond my expectations. The movie had some potential, but it seems it was made to be bad, really really bad.
Nothing happens in this movie, they are just showing some scene to make it long enough to be a movie, but it can't be called a movie. The characters and acting is awful.

This is really, really, really, bad. I don't understand how they thought this was a good idea. I haven't even watched it yet. I've just seen the trailer and I think that'll do for me.

I actually like this, i really like the humor, the story is...spy kids 1quality (do what that if you will) it really doesn't take itself seriously at all so i guess if you have kids its something you can enjoy too
It gets a: Dunston Checks In out of The Tuxedo.

C. I. APE is low-budget, straight-to-video fair that is all too common to see in places like the redbox rental machines or one of the ad supported streaming services like Tubi TV. That being said, I was actually really impressed by how the completely CGI chimpanzee looked in this. It is obviously CGI, but he looks cute! The plot is a little slow, and the actors are not recognizable, but the production quality is overall pretty good considering the budget. The lead actress looks familiar, but I am not sure if it is from seeing her on some Nickelodeon tv show or something like that. This is just a fun movie for children about a chimpanzee that is a secret agent. It has some funny gags and a nice message for kids.

I was working at McDonald's before I watched this film but now it changed my life. It truly showed the meanings of life. And now I'm applying for a degree at Harvard. Thank you C. I. Ape, 🙏
Only one thing needs to be said about this master class of film and thats soon to be award winning. They havent won anything yet but thats because mobody can see the masterpiece in front of them. Better than movies like inception or avengers.

...about a talking ape who's a C. I. A. Agent. (Plus, you should definitely watch it, so the writer's mom will stop bugging him about getting a real job.)

This movie was what most would call a masterpiece. The plot was derivative, the humor was splendid and the line delivery was some of the best ive ever seen. When the chimp says "How bout them bananas" I busted out laughing. One of my favorite movies.

If you get joy out of hate watching something, this will be the best film of your life. Each creative decision will have you scratching your head, wondering, "Am I de-evolving?"

My life has been a pit of darkness as of recently, I lost my house, I had to move in with my aunt since my relationship with my parents spiraled out of control, I had basically nothing, until I watched C. I. Ape. There are truly no words to describe the sheer power that this masterpiece of cinema contains, it seems to warp the hands of fate themselves into finally giving me something I haven't had in any capacity for months; hope. The absolute magnitude of anger and misery that any other film has provided me is now invalidated. I have finally been enlightened, C. I. Ape saved me from everything. I cannot recommend any other inferior flick that isn't this. Watch it now, and see it for yourself.

Best movie of 2021, easily I went in with low expectations, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm about to watch it again.

Truly captivating, a proper emotional rollercoaster. This piece of cinema will take you on twists and turns ranging from happiness and genuine elation, do downright sadness and despair.
Cuddle with your loved one, settle in for the ride of your life. Neither of you will forget the emotions you have felt and it will only bring you closer. Go to date night movie.
Only complaint would be that it's over a little too soon! 11/10.

The acting it the best and the CGI effects are absolutely top notch. Watch this film as you will not regret it. I have never laughed so hard at a comedy film for ages. It is the best film of 2021.

I'm a big fan of Sofia Alongi and Skip Shwing, so when it came to my attention that they would be sharing screen time in an ape-driven movie I was ecstatic. First I did the impossible to get my hands on the script, cause I NEVER watch a movie without reading the script first. I'm a huge movie nerd. Well, it turns out the script was nothing short of genius, so I immediately bought my tickets to be in the front row of the renowned Chinese Theater in Hollywood for the movie premiere.
Was I expecting too much of the film? Did I really wanted /needed to push my Alongi-Schwing fandom so far? Well, let me tell you something: It was all worth it. The top notch CGI and the acting elevated my spirit and opened all of my chakras. That's how good this movie is. I spent the whole movie wondering if the ape was actually a real ape or plain CGI. You know what? I'm still not sure. I think they CGIed the talking parts cause apes can't actually talk. That's what the guy at the theater told me when I kept shouting "It's a talking apeeeee!!!!" out of my lungs.
So that's that, best movie EVER.

There are films that define a generation-Titanic, The Godfather, Schindler's List-and then there's C. I. Ape, a film so groundbreaking it dares to ask: What if James Bond were a chimp?
This isn't just cinema; it's a philosophical meditation on intelligence, instinct, and the unbreakable bond between primate and country. The emotional depth? Unmatched. The action? Bananas. The sheer audacity of making a movie where a literal ape is a government agent? Revolutionary.
By the time the credits rolled, I wasn't the same person. I laughed, I cried, I questioned the very fabric of reality. If Titanic is a love letter to doomed romance, C. I. Ape is a love letter to everything good and pure in this world.
Ten stars. Not because it deserves them, but because anything less would be a crime against art.
