INTERESTING STORY, BUT GENERIC CHARACTERS AND AWFUL 3-D ON THE DVD RELEASE, KEEP THIS ONE FROM REALLY TAKING OFF!, June 22, 2009
I watched this film in both 3-D and 2-D on the DVD release to compare the two versions. The 2-D version looks very good and although the animation might not match that of Wall E, it is very solid. If only the characters had a little more umm?......character!
The fly's design is a cross between the Smurfs and some discarded character designs from 'A Bug's Life'. The voice work is nothing special either. The story is interesting and overall is a fairly enjoyable film experience, but it just isn't up to the likes of Pixar's efforts.
What is most disappointing is the 3-D version on the DVD. The color is almost non-existent and what color is there is completely off. The Maggot babies are lime green where as in the 2 D version they're pink-ish. If fact most anything with color is lime green and the rest looks like a black and white film or the color is so subtle you have to strain to see what color it is...... it's too distracting and it looks awful!
Also, there is the typical double vision effect which wouldn't be so bad if the color was right. I also feel that two cheap sets of 3-D glasses are not enough to include with the DVD. I mean really?... how much could these things cost? If you want to watch the 3-D version with you kids, you'll have to take turns!?? They should have included at least four pair of glasses and why not six? If your going to advertise 3-D on the cover then make it so the whole family can watch it together.

Not to be overlooked!, January 9, 2009
This review is from: Fly Me to the Moon (2D Version) (DVD)
I had not heard or read too much about "Fly Me to the Moon". But the manager of the local DVD store highly recommended it. I bought a copy and thoroughly enjoyed it! I am a 57-year-old married man that's a DVD collector. I have easily over 1,500 DVDs in my collection. I will buy more copies of this movie to give to my nieces and nephews. It was cute, simple. The CGI was so colorful especially on our 55-inch Sony HD TV.
Give it a try and you won't regret it. Enjoy!

Excellent Kids Movie; With a Historical way to Learn, May 9, 2010
The 3D version of Fly Me to the Moon is made in both the 2D and 3D versions, so you can watch it in either. The 3D version is a little off color when using the red and blue 3D glasses, but if you adjust the color on your media player or TV, you can get the proper color proportion for the glasses. I think it is a great learning tool for kids and adults alike, taking you on a journey on the Apollo 11 trip to the moon, and then featuring a real appearance from Buzz Aldrin himself. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who likes to watch movies in 3D, or who has children who are at that learning age, because the historical part of it is very well done, and is quite accurate.
