February 9, 2012This is very silly childish stuff and most of the aliens seen on the alien planet the chimps go to are really bad looking with terrible animation and horrible colour schemes, the jokes are cheesy and the characters are really cliched. Basically its the same kind of kids film over... read more

November 6, 2011Space Chimps has a very interesting premise that might have made a good movie if it also had good animation and less monkey puns.

November 12, 2010Fun animated Space Chimps movie, kept me engaged. The jokes were funny enough. I liked how they thought at first the mission was just another training exercise. I liked the Herbie Hancock music. It was cool when they landed on the alien planet. Each of the chimps had different pe... read more

December 5, 2008Chimps in space is a great idea for ananimated film. Chimps are just funny and a space setting should have contained enough excuses for bizarre and far out situations. Unfortunately Space Chimps is simply a poorly animated film with not enough content, story or laugh wise, to mak... read more

August 11, 2008I liked it. The animation certainly isn't cutting edge, but it gets the job done. The jokes are more hit than miss.

July 19, 2008Nothing worth watching at all! Meh, rhis movie wil be lucky if it gets $!00 this weekend with the Dark Knight out and all. The Dark Knight was an amazing movie by the way, my reveiw for it will be posted on Flixter by tommorow night. Back to Space Chimps. Space Chimps was just to... read more

July 19, 2008in this obvious buy-the-vidgame hourlong commercial saving grace comes from the verbal antics that spice the CGI visuals. not quite up to rocky and bullwinkle standards, mind you, still the filmmakers remembered the poor parents who will probably be chided endlessly about adding... read more

October 2, 2008Wittily written, decently animated and reasonably acted film that is just okay instead of great. The pieces and the individual scenes all work nicely and are more often then not funny and clever. It's clear that the filmmakers were playing to both to the adults as well as the kid... read more

Only a truly dreadful story could make 81 minutes seem like an eternity. And Space Chimps is just that leaden experience. Full Review

The animated action movie nevertheless delivers -- da-dum -- more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Full Review

There's probably not enough fuel beyond cute chimps in Candyland to achieve orbit for the kids. Full Review

When it comes to chimps and space, Stanley Kubrick pretty much covered the topic. Full Review

The film's creators haven't learned the Pixar strategy of creating a resonant story as the foundation of a film. So we get a formulaic tale of a lazy nonconformist who learns to take his responsibilit... Full Review

Why would you take your kids to see Space Chimps, an uninspired animated feature about chimp astronauts, when you could take them instead to see Wall-E. Full Review

Journalism is all about having the courage to write the truth even if it will get you mocked by your relatives and co-workers, so here goes: Space Chimps is hilarious.

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
The CG animation is nothing special, but the characters are surprisingly fun and the story is full of enough puns, wordplay and slapstick to elicit laughs from across the age spectrum.
