What to Know

Critics Consensus

Flatly animated and indifferently scripted, Fly Me To the Moon offers little for audiences not comprised of very young children.

The result is only just worth 90 minutes of anybody's time, and has Buzz Aldrin appearing at the end to assure everyone that none of it was remotely possible. Surprise, surprise! Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Nov 8, 2019

Best suited for younger children, "Fly Me to the Moon" will give little ones an appealing, eye-catching first look at 3-D movies, provided they can be persuaded to keep their goggles on. Go to Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine Mar 19, 2018

finn a @RT77531594 Apr 19, 2025 forgettable, but worth the watch See more WESLEY G @RT92170076 Feb 26, 2024 This movie was a weird fever dream, can't put my finger on it See more Chris M @RT21954632 Feb 14, 2023 Everyone knows that houseflies didn't go to the moon, considering these are anthropomorphic flies that had space suits for crying out loud. But for some strange reason the movie decided to have a live action Buzz Aldrin show up saying it never happened. It has early 2000s cheaper animation style and minor character issues. This is a kid's movie made for kids, how does it make it bad? Sure there's nothing for adults that aren't kids at heart and there is nothing close to real fly facts or historical facts but it is funny, the cast does great and well written. Overall, a flawed but fun kid's flick. See more Feb 25, 2020 10/10 loved it, fantastic movie, cinematic masterpiece, dare I say the reason theatre was made? Yes I dare because it do See more Jun 29, 2017 With ground-breaking animation, likeable characters, and a compelling storyline about the Apollo mission, Fly Me To The Moon is a classic for years to come.
