May 17, 2009I'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.

December 29, 2008Abysmally dull "family" film not recommended for anyone over 5.
And the 3D sucks too. -
September 14, 2008I 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.

October 26, 2009a 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.

October 1, 2009A 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. -
September 29, 2009They 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) -

For the first time in my experience, a 3-D movie felt bigger than my ability to take it all in. full review

Chris Kaltenbach, The Baltimore Sun
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

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
