Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHam was the name of the first chimp in space. He was launched from Cape Canaveral on January 31, 1961, and returned to Earth unharmed except for a bruised nose.
- Goofs(at around 1h 3 mins) Comet is able to talk to the chimps on Malgor without any time delay. Since the wormhole that leads to Malgor is located just beyond the Moon's orbit, there should have been at least a 2-second delay before getting a reply.
- Crazy creditsThere is a final scene after the credits.

Featured review
The writing in Space Chimps feels very Family Guy esquire, which I am not at all a fan of.
Whilst there's (virtually) no offensive language or crudeness, the gags almost solely depend on quick-fire references to other films and TV shows etc. For me, this gets tedious and is a very lazy way to write comedy IMO. For my 3 1/2 year old, it's not possible for him to understand any of the references. He's too young for Space Chimps and if I had known, I wouldn't have taken him. Even for 8 year-olds I think the references would be way before their time. It's as if the gags are written ONLY for adults, which to me puts the film in a no-mans land where it is neither for kids nor their parents.
The way CGI films should be made, is that a script meant for real actors, which is technically too costly to achieve "in the flesh", can then be made using CGI. In reality, there's probably a think-tank of people who design the visuals and then the script, which is why many of these ventures are weak.
