"Few would claim there are no flies on this one, but at least the outstanding 3D effects are some compensation for the dumbed-down inanity of everything else."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

1.5/5
"this celebration of a giant leap for mankind is really just a small, insignificant step for film fans."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

"While it's hard to recommend it on purely creative merit, I suppose it would be a wonderful thing if these silly flies ended up pushing kids to investigate space travel and the legacy of NASA. Unlikely, but it's more comforting than fart and burp jokes."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/4
"An immersive experience, perhaps the most impressive and least flawed use of the 3-D format, to date."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

"These flies are meant to be one of a kind but they're just pop-culture magpies."  Village Voice  Ed Gonzalez

D+
"Dull dialogue, a dull story, and dull animation. What's left?"  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

"It makes you want to reach for a can of Raid."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/5
"sti molis 85lepti diarkeia tis, na einai peripoy misi ora poly megali ki allo toso aneyri, kai s' olo to ypoloipo tis na dikaiologei tin yparksi tis se aithoysa mono os oriaka asteia, haritomeni, i diaskedastiki entelos paidika kai meta bias aksiologi na"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

C
"If Fly Me to the Moon were not in 3D, it'd hardly be worth the effort."  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

D-
"Fly Me to the Moon's idea of high hilarity is to have Nat's mom fret 'Oh my lord of the flies,' then feel the need to repeat the 'joke.'"  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

"My eyes are still burning from... the horrible racial, cultural, and gender stereotypes of the 1960s [and the] weirdly, disturbingly human-ish flies..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

C
"If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they tell a better story about sending some flies along for the ride?"  Chicago Sun-Times  Nell Minow

1/4
"Fly Me to the Moon is in 3D because, without the glasses-required effects, not even a three-year-old would sit through it."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"A disgracefully vapid and horrendously ugly work that makes the likes of "Doogal" or "Happily N'Ever After" look like "Pinocchio" and "WALL-E" by comparison."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

2/5
"Despite some astonishing visual sequences, a flimsy script and frankly awful character design ground this film before it can blast off."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline
