Don't listen to the negative reviews
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
my kids took me to the cinema to watch this.we hadnt seen any reviews or anything we hadnt even seen the first one but i thought it would be good.when i got there:first it was kinda boringthen all the characters especially kilowatt-were annoying, boring and unbelievableand finally it wasn't even funny.so i suggest you don't waste dhs50 on this movie because its not worth it.the only thing that is cool is the animation, zartog and the colors.
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.
