Space Chimps 2: O Retorno de Zartog

I cant give a full review of this film because I fell asleep about half way through. Costing £23 to take my family because we picked the 3D version, I'm thinking can i get my money back ? The 3D is poor the backgrounds and floor shots lack depth and the film is littered with Product placements. If i could give it zero then I would. Now you may think that this is harsh considering I fell asleep, well if the film were any good (Monsters inc for example) then i would have stayed awake. I got the gist after about 40mins and simply lost interest. This movie is and excuse to jump on the 3D bandwagon and to make more money of the back of the previous film.

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.

Space Chimps 2: Zatrog Strikes Back is a masterpiece of a film. I cannot put the amount of emotions I have gone through while watching this lovely film. I really cared about the relationship between the monkey and the fetus and was very invested in the story presented in the film. Zartog is up there with Darth Vader and the Joker as one of the greatest villains in movies, and he was genuinely threatening and yet comical at the same time. The themes of belongingment and friendship this film had were touching themes that added to the film and the character development of Comet and the fetus girl was beautiful.

Basically, I give Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back an 11/10, but I'll have to settle for just a 10/10 because this site isn't built for movies as great as Chimps 2: Zartog.

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.

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.
