dbborroughs Review of Fly Me to the Moon 3D

Fly Me to the Moon 3D (2007)

If it wasn't for the 3D this wouldn't have been released to theaters

[5/10 · 24 August 2008]

The movie is about three flies that hitch a ride to the moon with Apollo 11. Its a thirty to forty five minute idea thats stretched to ninety. We get side trips about gramps birthday, Russian flies trying to ruin the mission and one or two other brief asides. Its amusing in fits in starts but it mostly just sort of lays there. Frankly if the film wasn't in 3D I doubt it would have gotten any sort of theatrical release (I had to go into another county on the other side of Long Island to see it). Its not bad but its not much better than okay. On a technical level it does have some really nice 3D effects with a nice sensation of motion as we bob and weave through the grass around the NASA space center.
