Thanks for the memories!

Great Film overall

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I can't believe I sat through this piece of trash. The main problem I have with this film is that it's boring. I'd rather have a 2 hour lecture on Boron. The jokes are terrible and unfunny. It's very cliché and predictable. Not to mention, the characters are all stock! Who would want to watch this? I don't recommend this film to anyone. What were they thinking? Really? The first was bad... but this is a shock. If you want to watch a funny animated classic, watch a Pixar movie. So do your self a favor and don't watch it. Because you'll regret it. If your watching it you'll be asking your self "why the heck am I watching this?"

I watched this film with my two younger brothers, knowing full well that the first film was a slight disappointment. I wasn't expecting the horrors which slithered out of the TV screen after the opening scene of this film however. It started with a five minute crash and burn style clip together of the most humorous pieces of the previous film. I'm not sure if this was to waste time and make the real "film" seem longer, but It was a waste of time. There are a few attempts at humour, but the animation is so poor, even these look like too much effort for the animation team. Then there is the scene in which Comet is flying through space, enjoying the views of some enticing FALSE COLOUR IMAGES ONE COULD EASILY OBTAIN FROM A GOOGLE SEARCH! This annoyed me deeply, as I am currently studying astrophysics and know that these images are FALSE COLOUR, and would be invisible to the naked eye! This shows a clear lack of either knowledge or prior research and highlights the "Ohh! That looks pretty! Let's make a slide show of this trash and edit a cheesy spaceship with a monkey in it over the top of these pictures I just this second got of the Internet! Then there are the characters, or rather, lack of them. Unlike many films, this one simply featured the ten most popular or memorable characters from the previous film. But not memorable for a good reason. Take Kilawazazuggyuuu... Whatever she is... Whenever she squirms onto the screen screeching trash at us through that annoyingly small mouth of hers, you just want to pick her up and throw her. I mean, just listen to that noise! What!? What is that!? A giant glowing football? And then pretending to be an aeroplane!? What is this? Is it some sort of cryptic code that only a child understands? I was sat with two young children who couldn't decipher this junk!Then there is the title. Zartog strikes back. He clearly doesn't strike back. He doesn't even do anything. He merely boasts of his prowess and waves a crowbar/ magical game controller. I mean come on! You should call it Space chimps 2, Zartog stands there, or space chimps 2. Zartog gets chased by a dog. What sort of vengeance is this! I have more sinister plots sneaking in to the living room and finding my brothers watching watching my Mum painting the fence than this trash can offer! If you've watched this film, I feel sorry for you. I wish there was some eye sterilisation treatment I could offer...This is one title that should just lay down and die, along with the animation and management "Companies" that go with it.

Maybe as a grown-up, I am not the best qualified to rate a film that is clearly designed for children ... but this film was not designed for children, it was designed BY children - or maybe that's an insult to children. I would like to criticise the plot, except that I couldn't find any evidence of one. At no point was there any excitement and at no point was there any humour. The only piece of creativity which deserves mention is Kilowatt - probably the most irritating character whose ridiculous body, trilling, squeeking voice and general annoying script had my grinding my teeth every time she wobbled onto the screen. This showed that at least the creators were able to excel in one thing: to drive you nuts!So, what exactly was the point of this film? I would say that the sole point was to make money, an obvious show of "Right, let's make another film about monkeys. No need to put any money, effort or imagination into it. People will watch any rubbish these days, so let's give them some crap and buy ourselves some nice cars with the profit."The only emotion this inspired in me was irritation at how gullible I was to waste 80 minutes of my life in this way. If you want to entertain your children, I would recommend you paint their bedroom walls and allow them to watch as they dry. This would give them more fun.

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.
