Space Chimps (2008)

Space Chimps, 2.5 out of 4 stars

Luna (Voiced by Cheryl Hines, Ham III (Voiced by Andy Samberg) and Titan (Voiced by Patrick Warburton) in "Space Chimps" and looks like they have a great time working together.

Space Chimps is an 1 hour 21 minutes long movie, so this movie is short and of course this will be a very short review. This computer-animated film is directed by Kirk De Micco. This film is the story about a chimp, Ham III (Voices of Andy Samberg) a grandson of the first chimpanzee in space. Ham III is a circus performer. He always perform a stunt to impress human. One day, a 3.7 billion NASA probe has disappeared. So, the agency from NASA recruit Ham III and his crew member Luna (Voices of Cheryl Hines) and Titan (Voices of Patrick Warburton) and send them to space to investigate and retrieve the probe. During their travel, they find out that there is planet which contain life forms. From there, they get to know their new friends and help them to defeat an evil on that planet. First of all, this film is short, so that's mean the plot progression is very too quick. When you watch it, you won't enjoy every minutes of the film because some part you don't even have time to enjoy. Other than that, some of the jokes is quite hilarious, this is why I gave it credits. The jokes are quite funny and some are quite lame. But it still hilarious. This is not a very beautiful made film, of course it is not as beautiful as "Wall-E" and other animation in recent year. It uses a very simple techniques to make this movie. It doesn't look colorful and eye catching. Besides that, the story is quite simple and easy to follow, but the story will be mention a few topic that everybody talks about nowadays, which is "Is there any lifeforms from other planet?" and much more which is maybe one day chimps will be smarter than us, you never know (Hope not). And the story is predictable. For this kind of movie, you won't enjoy every part of it, but it still very comfortable to watch it. Other than that, this movie lack of some music, that's why some part of the movie is not intense and feels nothing. Overall, this is a movie which it doesn't reach the standard of the other animation film in recent year, but it is still a watchable animation.
