I kind of liked Speed Racer. The movie is visually incredibly unique. But unfortunately the least interesting parts about it are the races themselves. I feel they were cut too fast, it's hard to tell what's going on, and they took some creative license with the physics behind it. I would have preferred the races to be a bit more grounded to reality.

I loved the chimpanzee and basically all of the characters. Animal rights put aside, you have to admit there aren't nearly enough movies with chimps.

The movie is pure entertainment, it's basically 2 hours of flashy colorful images stitched together. Don't go in here expecting Schindler's List.

Target audience would be, people who are still young at heart and/or psychonauts. I was sober when I watched it just now, but I can imagine watching this after you just ate a handful of dried muchrooms that you're going to have an incredible experience.
