Will probably pass muster with very young viewers, but their parents may grit their teeth at its saccharine quality.

The animation IS great and absolutely so fantastic you'll want to reach out and touch the creatures - or swat them off your uncomfortable 3-D glasses.

What saves Fly Me to the Moon from being a total wash is the actual mission itself.
By Rene Rodriguez FULL REVIEW

An awkward mix of proficient 3-D animation, detailed technical recreation and strained storytelling that stalls on takeoff.

All of this is interesting, but not all that entertaining.
By Stephen Cole FULL REVIEW

The film still suffers from cheap plasticky design, a klutzy overall look, dim preschooler humor, and a nearly impact-free story that thinks it's clever when it steals cues from 2001.

Adding to weirdness is a tacked-on, live-action appearance from the real Aldrin, who reassures kids and terrified X-Files fans that there weren't, in fact, any houseflies on board Apollo 11.
