It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

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.

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.

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.
