Project X
Following orders isn't the only way to become a hero.
Matthew Broderick stars as Jimmy Garrett, a screw-up Air Force jet jockey who is transferred to the 'Experimental Pilot Performance Project' where chimpanzees - including a remarkable young chimp named Virgil - are taught to operate flight simulators. But when Jimmy discovers that the chimps will ultimately be used in a horrific experiment, he desperately seeks out the university researcher (Oscar winner Helen Hunt>, As Good As It Gets - 1998 Best Actress) who taught Virgil to communicate. Time is running out. The military is closing in. Can two unlikely heroes and an extraordinary groups of apes defy the odds, escape the danger and end the top secret terror of Project X?

I rented this movie because I used to watch it a lot when I was very young, and wanted to see if it was as good as I used to think it was. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but I would hardly call it a good movie. I think it would do ok as a tv movie - it was more or less good for playing in the background while you do something else. I would recommend it maybe for parents who don't mind letting their kids watch movies 'for adults' - I certainly enjoyed watching the monkeys and the action when I was young.So bad - Radio_Jane
This film makes a good argument against animal testing and that is it. The acting and story line is terribe and if they had been given the chance the chimps could have stolen the show.It was almost as if the director thought if he filled a movie with apes his work was done. dont waste your time
