Critics Consensus

Space Chimps' cheap animation and overabundance of monkey puns feels especially dated in a post-Wall-E world.

2.5/5
A film that, in a non-Pixar dominated reality, would be cleaning up at the box office. It's enough to make you laugh. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Sep 19, 2008
2.5/4
A movie called Space Chimps ought to be cheap, crude and silly, and this computer-animated lark delivers on all fronts. Go to Full Review London Evening Standard Aug 1, 2008
2/5
The film is pacy, full of humour rather than thrills and not too long. Not for connoisseurs of animation but fun for the young. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 24, 2020

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12, 2026 Lembro de ver esta animação no DVD, uma animação muito fraca que falha tanto no humor como no visual. A premissa de mandar macacos para o espaço podia render uma aventura divertida, mas o argumento é preguiçoso. O design dos alienígenas é feio e a qualidade da animação parece de um jogo de computador antigo. Um filme aborrecido e totalmente dispensável. See more Ciaran S @TrainMultifan26 May 21, 2026 When you create a movie filled with a weak story, unfunny jokes, terribly outdated animation, annoying characters, dumb gags and cheap modern pop-culture references......yeah that's the best way to describe Space Chimps in a nutshell. See more Ben P @RT03959963 Mar 13, 2026 It was good, I guess. Nothing extraordinary, but worth a watch. The lip-syncing isn't the best, though.

No way this movie rocks See more Makenzie K @RT95837877 Jul 30, 2025 This movies like aids This movies like aids, it's something you find out about you think yea it's bad but is to really it is, as you experience it you see that it's bad ... like aids. After a while you kinda forget about it but just some random thing reminds you of it and then boom you remember how bad it is untill your brain forgets again.
