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.

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!

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.

Great Movie! Our church did a free movie night as an outreach to the community and everyone was extremely pleased. The movie has excellent 3D effects and a great story that was interesting for adults as well as the children. The one DVD has both the 3D and the normal video mode which is also very helpful. Enjoy!

While I can commend the film's attention to detail as far as the recreation of the space shuttle and the colorful environments, I can't say the same for the story, the writing, or the characters. If only they had spent as much time making the story shine as they did the technical details of the moon landing, Fly Me would be a little gem of a movie. But sadly, the writing is unimaginative, the story clunks unnaturally along, and the characters are uninspired and stereotypical (offensively in some cases, as with the panicky mother who keeps fainting at the slightest hint of trouble; then you have the lead trio itself, composed of the "leader," the "smart kid with glasses," and the "fat kid"--Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, anyone?).

And what's with Buzz Aldrin's rant at the end reminding kids that it's all just pretend? Do kids need to be talked down by having it explained to them that flies don't really talk and weren't actually on the moon mission?

Excusing this movie's lack of quality because it's "just for kids" is lazy. Kids shouldn't have to suffer through boring movies that insult their intelligence any more than adults. There are a thousand better ways to entertain and educate your kids, both on film and out in the world. Don't bother with this movie.

The 3D version of this movie is terrible and it is not worth purchasing just for 3D. It has double images. The movie in 2D is better than the 3D version. Don't waste your money if you are purchasing just for the 3D effect.

This review is only about the 3-d aspect,of the dvd, it works well, im using a epson lcd projector 1080p native resolution, but looks good on my samsung tv as well. On par with Journey to the center of the earth as far as 3-d is concerned, where is the field seqential version, and the blu-ray. DID NOT GET HEADACHE LIKE SOME OTHER RED BLUE GLASSES MOVIES.

After reading all the negative reviews of this little movie, I felt compelled to add my two cents worth in favor of Fly Me to the Moon-3D. I saw it about an hour ago in the theater with my almost 8 year old twin daughters. While it is not Speilberg or Lucas caliber, my daughters and I thought it was very cute and entertaining-the story was simple and easy to follow for kids. It has just enough action and suspense to keep you drawn in without causing kid-trauma. The 3D graphics were really fun-some of the best I've seen. And what kid doesn't enjoy a little gross fly-related feces humor? To put this in perspective, while looking for a movie tonight that would entertain, and not give my daughters nightmares, our only other choice was Journey to the Center of the Earth-3D. While I thought having giant angry killer fish fly at me in 3D seemed exciting, my daughters did not. That being fairly obvious, in some cases it is difficult for me to tell what will scare them until it is too late (and no, they don't lead a horribly sheltered life). This movie is nothing but gentle entertainment. For those who may be looking for something more cerebral, which this is not, it is at least fairly short. It was over before I was bored. As I watched, I kept wishing my grandsons were with us ( I know, do the math- I have 8 year olds, and grandchildren who are 4 and 5 years old. Go figure.) That's why I got on line to see if the Fly movie was available for purchase yet. I can't wait for them to see it! So not to put a fly in the ointment of all the harsh critics who want to squash this movie, but I'd give it a big thumbs up. 4 fly swatters out of five( i took one away because Shakespeare it's not). Its good, mindless entertainment, which is just what we want sometimes, right?

This is a cute movie but I bought it for the 3D aspect and it is not done well at all. My grandson even asked me to switch to 2D.

I had never heard of this movie before. I just bought it based on the fact that it is anaglyph 3D and I could watch it at home on standard equipment. The movie is well made and the story interesting. They do exaggerate the 3D effect sometimes with flies flying directly at the camera, etc, but overall is was a pleasant 3D experience.
