Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back

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.

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.

'The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.' It is my belief that it would be easier for a monkey to write the complete works of Shakespeare then write a film as bad as this

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.
