Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
RetroPizzaTimeCritic The Movie about Teri MacDonald who could teach Virgil a young chimp to do sign language before their taken away him to Air Force with airman Jimmy Garrett who teach him to learn to fly but Jimmy find out Virgil do sign language. Meanwhile Jimmy taken to flight simulators will be killed by radiation poisoning but Virgil saw him as dead body in lab, Jimmy find the files of Virgil teacher Teri about him in Air Force before until night their to get chimps out of the cases when grauds coming after them to get chimps back, and let all chimps fly the plane to freedom.Its was heartwarming film between men best friend who teach sign language and freedom, I just seen this movie on The Disney Channel :)
Spikeopath Matthew Broderick's big smiling face booms out on the DVD cover, there's also Helen Hunt looking strangely alluring, while a small silhouette shows a man and chimp holding hands in the glow of something bright. Lovely, just lovely. Yet this is something of a bum steer considering the film is very rarely funny or sexy!Project X comes from the stable of films involving animals that are made to illicit a prescribed response from the human being. More so if you happen to be an animal lover as well. It all looks very dated while the message and thematics at work are frayed around the edges. In fact better treatments of "animal testing" films have been made both before and after Project X. But this in no way means Jonathan Kaplan's movie isn't any good, because it is. The cast are engaging, there's no demonising of the military humans and it hits all the right emotional beats of its subject matter. It just needs to be said that any expectation of a thought provoking and believable picture will only lead to disappointment.Get the tissues ready and pray for a punch the air ending, while enjoy those awesome chimps as well. 7/10
Doug Galecawitz after the initial ferris bueller movie, this is probably the second or possibly third best in the series. (glory was also quite good). this is a great film for kids around the age of 8 to 12 because it can be an intellectual exercise for them without being dragged down by intellectualizing. the movie is a warm hearted exploration of the meaning of non-human intelligence and the "sanctity of life". there is some decent supporting performances, but the show mostly belongs to the various chimps throughout the movie. each chimp manages by the end to establish a distinct character so that at the end, even though there may be several chimps on screen you can easily distinguish which one is which. watch this movie with planet of the apes. i give it a seven point three out of ten.7 out of 10
xavier-borja "This was pretty corny and unbelievable. What I call a silly drama. The acting was good, but the plot was totally unrealistic. At least, I don't think a monkey can fly a plane. The government is experimenting with chimps to see how long they can fly a plane in a simulated situation after taking a lethal dose of radiation. Helen Hunt's pet monkey gets into this program, and she is driven to rescuing him before his turn comes up. With the help of an air force cadet, she breaks the chimp out of the installation, but is in for big trouble from the military big-shots. Some tense moments follow, but they are so hammy that I couldn't get to worked up over the whole deal. Cute family show with some profanity." Totally unrealistic, eh? Isn't ironic that this actually happened in real life? *shock*
