Synopsis

Space Chimps 2 takes place a few days after the first film. It follows Comet, the techno chimp who longs to be taken as a full-fledged space chimp. In the last film, he never got a chance to go to space. However, he finds out that he was cut from the mission due to the budget cuts and no one takes him seriously again. He gets on the rocket ship and he accidentally launches the ship into space. Comet journeys to Planet Malgor where he bonds with the alien Kilowatt, and lives out his ultimate fantasy.

However, it's time for Comet to prove himself when the feared alien ruler Zartog takes over Mission Control. Zartog wants revenge on Ham for ruining his plans of ruling Malgor despite that Titan defeated Zartog in the last film. Comet must show he has the right skills, and join fellow chimps Ham, Luna and Titan, to save the day.
