Audience Member How far do we test the limits of humans specially trained for travel and radiation experiments? Is it morally right or unethical to do the same with animals? This is inspired by actual events conducted by the United States Air Force Matthew Broderick, Helen Hunt star next to a lovable chimpanzee based in science A chimpanzee is captured from the wild and sent to the Lockridge Air Force base in Florida by accident Jimmy Garret who stole a plane for a joy ride and court marshalled is assigned to monitor these animals for military experiments One chimp in particular Virgil knows sign language and Jimmy is astonished so much so he bonds with the ape The bad news is realized when he finds out the apes are going to be killed by radiation during air travel So he'll need the help of Dr. Terri MacDonald, the graduate student who taught Virgil how to sign to free him The scenes of Broderick and Virgil are just lovable, they learn a lot from each other while also communicating with other apes It's so heartbreaking watching these animals' true purpose slowly being revealed you're almost on the verge of tears feeling helpless The breakout is actually pretty suspenseful watching these two humans whom have bonded a lot wit the animal share something in common, some funny antics too with the apes finally getting their chance to shine The movie is both equally thrilling and heart-filled particularly towards the end after everything our furry primates have learned Some things actually pay off it turns out A good expose on Air Force experimentation and works as an accomplished pulp fantasy in its own right A family-friendly movie drawing the line between duty and doing the right thing for our primate cousins Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review CJ It is a great movie. All actors were amazing. It also shows awareness of how animals get used for experiments before testing on humans. Shows how intelligent animals are and can be. Shows how passionate some humans and animal are. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Steve D overly earnest and lame.
