I'm a fan of NASA and space exploation so have to admit I enjoyed the movie. Although there is never gonna be a way to make even a cartoon maggot cute. Just isn't gonna happen. My favortie part was Buzz Aldrin's message at the end.

Abysmally dull "family" film not recommended for anyone over 5.
And the 3D sucks too. -

I am loving this new Real D, it's sooo cool! It was a cute movie- but nothing spectacular. I found they didn't use the 3D as well as they could have, I was expecting it to be as entertaining in 3D as "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was, but this one wasn't as in your face.

a poor animation compaired to what is coming out now. the animation is not very good. the story is barely a story but they somehow manage to string it along. it's not that much fun to watch. give it a miss.

A good idea for a film and the space scenes are good fun.
The animation is excellent but the voice tallent and script is poor quality. -

They usually hype up the computer animated kids movies these days, but this one slipped in under the radar. I'm glad it did.
I didn't go in watching this film with any expectations of it being good, and it didn't exceed those expectations in the slightest. It used a lot of clich...( read more) -

"Nat" (voiced by Trevor Gagnon), along with his brainiac friend "IQ" (voiced by Philip Bolden) and the always hungry "Scooter" (David Gore) are kids with big dreams. They want to be the first flies in space. And what encourages their dreams is the first spacecraft to land on the ...( read more)

Critic Reviews
As for the space stuff, well, George Lucas need not lose any sleep. full review
For the first time in my experience, a 3-D movie felt bigger than my ability to take it all in. full review
The film's respect for its source material goes only so far before reducing everything to the level of an old-style Saturday-morning cartoon, complete with stock characters finding themselves in stock... full review
Anyone over the age of 8 is likely to be bored into madness by the lightweight puns that pass for real humor âe" WALL-E this ain't âe" and the film's overall "eh" quotient. full review
The vocal characterizations aren't the problem here; the script and the animation are the problems, and in feature animation, you can't arrange more significant problems than those. full review
If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they tell a better story about sending some flies along for the ride? full review
The filmmakers show they are especially adept at pulling off some tricky animated 3D effects. full review
Viewers who are old enough to eat without a bib are unlikely to find much of interest in the procession of puns and generic zero-gravity gags that fill out the film's running time. full review
Fly Me to the Moon is in 3D because, without the glasses-required effects, not even a three-year-old would sit through it. full review
