C.I.Ape

This is really, really, really, bad. I don't understand how they thought this was a good idea. I haven't even watched it yet. I've just seen the trailer and I think that'll do for me.

C. I. APE is low-budget, straight-to-video fair that is all too common to see in places like the redbox rental machines or one of the ad supported streaming services like Tubi TV. That being said, I was actually really impressed by how the completely CGI chimpanzee looked in this. It is obviously CGI, but he looks cute! The plot is a little slow, and the actors are not recognizable, but the production quality is overall pretty good considering the budget. The lead actress looks familiar, but I am not sure if it is from seeing her on some Nickelodeon tv show or something like that. This is just a fun movie for children about a chimpanzee that is a secret agent. It has some funny gags and a nice message for kids.

This is exactly the type of movies that shows the need to have a refund policy in movie theaters, from the first minute you know you have been fooled to pay for it.

I have no idea how they allow such movies to be shown in public, this must be illegal.

I am a professional chimp wrangler, and I know as a fact that the character in this film is not a real chimpanzee. It looks nothing like a real chimp either. This CGI abomination proves that in modern society, we value fancy gadgets and computers over good old fashioned chimp labor. The directors of this film could have taken this in a great direction, this film could have had amazing potential. There have been a stream of great chimp-based spy films and television shows, including "Lancelot Link", "Spymate", and others. But this film, unfortunately, appears to have taken more after the film "Funky Monkey", which is the worst film I have ever watched. Now this film does not bring out the murderous rage that "Funky Monkey" did, but the CGI chimp coupled with the extremely mediocre, pro-interventionist plot make this film extremely dissapointing. I just hope this will not set a precedent, and directors will continue to utilize the boundless acting skills of real chimpanzees. This film could have been so much more. Bring back the chimps.

It is like if someone really went out of his way to make the movie this bad. Even my 9 year old daughter said the monkey, oh ape, doesn't talk much. The movie is nit even remotely funny at all. Silly beyond my expectations. The movie had some potential, but it seems it was made to be bad, really really bad.
