Les chimpanzés de l'espace 2

Movie is obviously targeted to kids and I'm quite sure they will have fun with it. Animation is not a masterpiece, but not so bad as someone said. The big lack, in my opinion, is the story, really there isn't too much. Anyway, I've found some scenes really funny. Also, I appreciated the intention to make it educative, creating interest about space and cosmology. The scene where Comet is flying to the alien planet watching outside the ship's window at real planets and galaxies is a touch of class. Well, it is not Toy Story or Shreck, but I don't think they had the same budget to spend.

Finally, if you have kids that want to watch a funny movie, this is a good choice. Otherwise, you can pass over.

2 stars is probably about right for this movie. While not offensively bad it did nonetheless feel lazy and without purpose. After some annoying voice-over the film opens with some stuff happening on earth. Some of the worst snf most awkward humour includes 3 scientists who start break dancing, the animation is passable but also not great. The main problem is the movie doesn't really have any actual stakes or interesting ideas or message. It just seems to have been made just to make it. Another gripe I have is how much time our main character spends talking when alone in a room, who's he talking to after all? There's barely a plot or story, just a small number of things happen. All in all very poor.

Terrible attempt to make a buck at the expense of our kids. The plot was non-existent. This story wouldn't even hold the attention of a small child. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did. Recycled lowbrow attempts at humor typical of what Hollywood thinks our kids need. Turn on the TV and watch re-runs of "The Flintstones" instead, or better yet, take them to the park. This DVD is only suitable for target practice. I wonder how much money was wasted on this thing that could have went to feeding starving orphans. I give it 12 thumbs down. This movie is a canker sore on the lip of humanity. I would rather have genital warts than watch this thing again. The kids actually got up and left before it was halfway through and went to do their homework. Pass on this unless you think gastrointestinal distress is a screaming good time. Forget it, pass on it even then. You have been warned.

This is quite plainly aimed at a very young audience and as such I think succeeds reasonably well. The story is imaginative and, though somewhat improbable, does make logical sense and all loose ends are eventually tied up. A few scientifically accurate astronomical details are included which should (hopefully) encourage youngsters towards furthering their knowledge of such wonders. Dialogue is clearly voiced and the humour is, I think, capable of being understood by most typical six or seven year olds. There was a family with three or four very young children sitting two rows behind me and the film seemed to hold their interest throughout. I think this is a worthy sequel to Space Chimps 1 (which I also think was under-appreciated) and deserves a higher rating than it is getting so far. Ideal for entertaining young kids (and for introducing them to a bit of science) and sufficiently wittily scripted for accompanying adults who haven't completely lost contact with their inner child.

A nearly endless waste of space, Space Chimps 2 Zartog Strikes Back is the same joke for 75 straight minutes- a joke that wasn't funny the first time and is even less funny this time. I have to admit, there is a single thing this film improves on from the previous one- that being the voice of Zartog. Obviously unable to afford the same star-studded cast after its tremendous failure at the box office- Andy Samberg and Jeff Daniels are nowhere to be seen or heard rather. Although I surprisingly missed the half asleep Sanberg in his role, now replaced sheepishly by Spongebob voice actor Tom Kenney- I actually much rather preferred John DiMaggio (the voice of Jake the Dog and Bender) as the voice of Zartog. Literally everything else about this movie though should be incredibly ashamed of itself. If you thought the first one was lacking a decent plot, script, dialogue, and halfway decent animation- well strap in folks! Because all of that is somehow even worse than beforehand. There basically is no plot here, a few different random storylines attempted to be webbed into one cohesive narrative is hardly even achieved- and every moment it shifts between the two I always want the other one back. It is painful to watch, there are moments that are so cringe-inducing that I shouted at the screen many times in defeat. Hell, they couldn't even come up with a good plot for zartog to even strike back- WHICH IS LITERALLY THE TITLE OF THE FILM. All he does is be stupid about Earth and point a offbrand Wii remote at some people. In the end, Space Chimps 2 is best watched with your eyes closed and your ears plugged. Not a single moment of its short but dreadfully tedious runtime will entertain you or fill you with any sort of emotion other than pure suffering.

My Rating: 1.3/10.
