Strengths: The greatest strength of the movie is that that it is for all ages. Especially, the kids would enjoy this animated chimp flick. The voice-overs are done with great ease. One gets a smile on the face just at the sight of the amazing chimps. I am trying hard to find out the strengths of this entertainer, but I guess, besides being a family entertainer it has none.

Flaws: You all know that finding faults in a movie is a critic’s favourite part and I am not an exception.

Being very Frank, I would like to confess that I hate cheap animation movies and Space chimps is no different. With the advancement in visual effects and animation technology, one wants to see some dazzling animation movies. But after watching this movie, you would be disappointed because there was a huge scope of improvement. \No doubt the movie is entertaining but those who have seen one of the finest animation flicks of our times i.e. WALL-E, would surely agree with me if I say that this movie can be made about 10 years back. And who said the movie is hilarious? The monkey jokes are not so-funny as they should have been and I am sure, those who have seen this, would agree with, if I call it an outdated-animation movie.

My ratings for the Movie **1/2 .i.e. Two-and-a-half stars out of Five. One for comparing it with WALL-E, one star for the expectations I had with the movie and another half because kids don’t believe in reviews.

Do I need to say more? If you still want to watch it, then wait for the DVD or check out the movie at your nearest theatre.
