SPACE CHIMPS DVD 2008 MOVIE

The monkeys look just as dull on the cover as they would in standard definition, and displaying them in the shuttle gives off the false impression that they spend much time in it. The disc quality heightens the value of the film, but the box art and packaging do nothing to tell fans that the Blu-Ray is worth the extra bucks. Some of the backgrounds, especially those in the jungle scene on the alien planet still look a bit flat and unmoving, but the characters themselves look far better on Blu than they could in standard def. With crisp, clear color and sparkling resolution, Ham III came alive on this disc. Though the transfer could not make up for sloppy initial ideas for the characters, high definition did wonderful things for their overall appeal. вЂ“Blu-Ray was the answer to many of these woes.

The characters look rushed and the general feel of the film appears as though they were just throwing bright colors at the audience with no regard for depth or range. Video and Presentation Space Chimps falls flat when it comes to the animation. It is a crazy adventure that didn't quite cash out as Vanguard could have hoped, but it's a good one for the kids and adults can make a solid drinking game out of spotting the references to other, better films.

Of course the monkeys don't speak English, but the aliens that they find at the other end of the wormhole speak perfect chimp so once they decide not to kill each other, they go on an adventure to stop the evil warlord Zartog from killing off his own kind and destroying their ship the 'infinite probe.' It is the quickest extra-planetary adventure around as the movie is only 80 minutes long and the early exposition takes place on earth, but in the few minutes that they are on Malgor, Luna and the arrogant Ham III fall in love and even manage to do some vine swinging that would make Indiana Jones jealous. вЂ“Again these characters are all thrown together and the story makes little sense, but bright colors and sarcastic monkeys are enough to give a 10-year-old a thrill and everyone else a chuckle. Tucci voices the uptight senator that threatens to end funding if the chimps don't return alive and Chenoweth is the luminary alien creature that sings and glows when she is afraid. Stanley Tucci and Kristen Chenoweth join the cast for a few moments to highlight both life on earth and on the distant planet Malgor. So after about 12 minutes of preparation, Ham III' (Samberg), 'Luna' (Hines) and 'Titan' (Warburton) are sent up to space to explore the worlds beyond. The basic premise is that NASA is having issues with a worm hole and have to send monkeys up to see if life can be sustained within it.

Together Andy Samberg, Cheryl Hines and the man that trademarked the 'Kronk' style of monkey-brained, but lovable meatheads, Patrick Warburton, create a fun-filled world(s) of space travel. The best of their mindless ramblings is the product placement for Dole, the 'furious George' speech and of course their nod to the other 'creatures in space' film that came out this summer Fly me to the Moon where one of the monkeys swallows a fly as soon as the shuttle lifts off into the atmosphere. With each monkey pun and ethnic slur those chimps manage to monkey their way into the heart. Sure the animation is lackluster and the story folds together and breaks apart like paper-mache, but the voice acting is incredible and so are the millions of rapid-fire pop-culture references.
