Am I Missing Something?

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

On my recent viewing spree I managed to find time to review Space Chimps 2. Now Space Chimps 1 didn't exactly get me excited. What they've done here is they've taken everything they did manage to get right in Space Chimps 1 and got it wrong in Space Chimps 2. It was truly terrible. People are complaining that the animation, acting and characterisation was terrible and it did! The only reason is - IT TAKES EFFORT! Movie studios like this are just out to get the money and then worry about quality after. If they'd actually put effort they'd of realised the numerous continuity errors they'd made. Take for example the scene where Zartog is holding onto the spaceship. He is on the cockpit windscreen and then seconds later he's on the wing! It was just silly! And the only kind of characterisation I can see goes to the Indian scientist and still the characterisation was poor. It was based all around jokes and I can't speak on behalf of the children and whether they liked this but I thought it was completely terrible!

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.

I'm surprised by some of the other reviews users have given this film. Comparing it to Toy Story 3, a movie with a $200 million budget, is totally unfair. Those reviewers are probably also the people who have psycho-analyzed Toy Story and found Woody to be a vampire due to him outliving his friends.Anyway to the movie at hand. Space Chimps 2 is a return to the fun of the original Space Chimps with Zartog, the bad guy from the first movie, trying to take his revenge. I won't give too much away with the story but I will say, if your kids enjoyed the first flick they will enjoy the second. And remember, it is a movie aimed at kids, it's not a Pixar movie with in jokes and pop culture references that only adults get.

Space Chimps 2 is, unsurprisingly, a sequel to Space Chimps, which is a CGI feature from a couple of years ago.Frankly, I'm surprised that the original was successful enough to warrant a sequel. And it's a sequel which brings nothing new to the table. The animation barely passes muster for TV kids' CGI shows, and is no improvement on its predecessor. Compared to what we are used to from Pixar and Dreamworks it is, quite frankly, not good enough. The story is paltry. The characterisation is limp. The 3D adds nothing.On the positive side, it is bright and colourful and sufficiently amusing in the simplest of ways to please small children, and perhaps that is the basis on which it should be judged. Because it falls far, far short on any other basis.
