But then that’s what the public want these days isn’t it? 3D? I hate it personally. That might have been the way to go with this release, rather than the theatrical cut and the 3D. But perhaps it would have been better released as a couple of 40 minute episodes – the sort of thing you see in the supermarket for £5 in the school holidays – Kung Foo Panda 2 – but you know it’s just a short version and it’s made for DVD. No at just 75 minutes Space Chimps 2 is definitely just for the kids. Still you can’t have a plot like that of Inception for a kids film can you? Well you could but their tiny heads might explode. But it won’t help adults bored by the rather thin plot or the lack of slightly more adult-orientated jokes – the sort that would go over kids heads, but would enable the parents to get through the show without falling asleep. This film has obviously been put together to work for a child (not like for instance the Shrek series that many adults can happily watch alongside their children because it throws in plenty of comedy for adults as well) it’s been produced with a child’s sensibilities in mind. Having said that maybe it’s the 30-odd year old in me talking and not the child inside. It’s not terrible but it seems to be lacking some of the verse that the first film had. This is a less than enthralling follow up to the first film which was pretty decent. Despite that I’m not sure that the production team is really doing its best job here. To be completely honest, at first, Space Chimps 2 feels like a bit of a crass cash-in on the success of the first Space Chimps film, however as this is fairly common perhaps it can be forgiven or overlooked. Space Chimps 2 includes the voice talents of Jane Lynch (Glee), Andy Samberg (Saturday Night Live) & Patrick Warburton (Family Guy). However, when the feared alien ruler Zartog takes over Mission Control, Comet must show he has the right stuff and join fellow chimps Ham, Luna, and Titan to save the day. Comet journeys to the fantastical Planet Malgor and bonds with the adorable alien Kilowatt, living out his ultimate fantasy. Having freed Planet Malgor from the tyranny of the slime ball Zartog, the hairy heroes must face their old foe once again when novice astro-chimp Comet accidentally launches himself on a solo mission through the cosmic wormhole. Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back follows Comet, the young tech-whiz chimp who longs to be taken seriously as a full-fledged space chimp. Title: Space Chimps 2 – Zartog Strikes Back
