Review: Fly Me to the Moon
cinematical.com 8/15/2008 — With Toy Story (1995), a studio called Pixar blew the lid off of animated movies as we knew them. Thirteen years later, the other studios have yet to even approach that early level of excellence, let alone match the advancements Pixar has made since. Oddly similar to the most recent clunker Space Chimps , the new Fly Me to the Moon looked infinitely more promising in that it was based ...
Maybe some day we'll get to the Moon. — FilmChat
Fly Me to the Moon , the latest film to be produced in the digital 3-D format known as Real-D , was originally supposed to open August 8. Then it was delayed to August 15. And then, last Monday, the Canadian distributor suddenly announced that the film would only be opening in Toronto for now; all other Canadian cities will have to wait. Why is this?

‘Fly Me To the Moon’ Is Good In 3D, But Not Much Else [Movie Review] — Film School Rejects
As a parent, I’m game to bring my kids to any film that’s made for their age level. A movie like Fly Me to the Moon was one of those movies I had seen plenty of advertising for, but it wasn’t really grabbing me. In fact, the only thing that really stood out to me was the fact that it was in 3D . I’ll be the first to admit that I get totally sucked in with the 3D gimmick. In fact, some ...

Review: ‘Fly Me To The Moon 3D’ — We Are Movie Geeks
Ram Man: Fly Me To The Moon is the first fully animated film created for 3-D. It’s 1969 and the USA and Russia are in a race to be the first nation to send a man to the moon. The same holds true in the insect world. Fly Me To The Moon tells the story of three young flies who make a courageous journey stowing away aboard the Apollo 11 rocket to the Moon. The film follows the ...

Fly Me to the Moon (review) — FlickFilosopher.com
My eyes are still burning from this painfully misbegotten attempt to... I don’t know what. Bring back the horrible racial, cultural, and gender stereotypes of the 1960s? Creep out audiences with a depiction of weirdly, disturbingly human-ish flies the likes of which we haven’t seen since the tiny head of that mad scientist squeeked out “Help me!” from atop the body of a fly caught in a ...

Film Review: Fly Me to the Moon The fly-on-the-wall perspective is the only real novelty in Domonic Paris’ otherwise generically uninspired screenplay, which follows a trio of common tween houseflies (voiced by Trevor Gagnon, Philip Daniel Bolden and David Gore) who manage to stow away aboard Apollo 11 and witness history in the making.
