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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'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

A nearly endless waste of space, Space Chimps 2 Zartog Strikes Back is the same joke for 75 straight minutes- a joke that wasn't funny the first time and is even less funny this time. I have to admit, there is a single thing this film improves on from the previous one- that being the voice of Zartog. Obviously unable to afford the same star-studded cast after its tremendous failure at the box office- Andy Samberg and Jeff Daniels are nowhere to be seen or heard rather. Although I surprisingly missed the half asleep Sanberg in his role, now replaced sheepishly by Spongebob voice actor Tom Kenney- I actually much rather preferred John DiMaggio (the voice of Jake the Dog and Bender) as the voice of Zartog. Literally everything else about this movie though should be incredibly ashamed of itself. If you thought the first one was lacking a decent plot, script, dialogue, and halfway decent animation- well strap in folks! Because all of that is somehow even worse than beforehand. There basically is no plot here, a few different random storylines attempted to be webbed into one cohesive narrative is hardly even achieved- and every moment it shifts between the two I always want the other one back. It is painful to watch, there are moments that are so cringe-inducing that I shouted at the screen many times in defeat. Hell, they couldn't even come up with a good plot for zartog to even strike back- WHICH IS LITERALLY THE TITLE OF THE FILM. All he does is be stupid about Earth and point a offbrand Wii remote at some people. In the end, Space Chimps 2 is best watched with your eyes closed and your ears plugged. Not a single moment of its short but dreadfully tedious runtime will entertain you or fill you with any sort of emotion other than pure suffering.

My Rating: 1.3/10.

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.

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.

Bestest movie ever with funny family guy and it made by one of the primates that brokighet yous hrek truly a masterpiece in every way

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.
