 Fly Me to the Moon Fly Me to the Moon Quote: Fly Me to the Moon is a Belgian CGI animated 3-D feature film. It was released in digital 3D in Belgium on 30 January 2008 and in the USA and Canada on 15 August 2008. The film was also released in IMAX 3D in the USA and Canada starting 8 August 2008. It is notable for being the first Summit Entertainment film released in digital 3D.
Fly Me to the Moon was directed by Ben Stassen and produced by nWave Pictures in association with Illuminata Pictures, and distributed by Summit Entertainment and Vivendi Visual Entertainment.
The total production budget of Fly Me to the Moon is €17.3 million (about $25.2 million). nWave financed about 75% of the budget itself. To raise the rest, investors could benefit from Belgium’s Tax Shelter system. The Flanders Audiovisual Fund contributed €100,000 ($146,100), 10% of its annual budget for animation.
Apart from the feature-length version, two further versions of the films exist. The 49-minute Attraction version was released across theme parks starting in the summer of 2007. Venues showing this version, which features added 4D effects, include Isla Magica in Spain, Mirabilandia in Italy, Bellewaerde in Belgium, Bakken and Planetariet in Denmark, and Blackpool Pleasure Beach in the UK, as well as the Adler Planetarium in Chicago and the Museum of Science in Boston. This version of the film omits the subplot about the attempt by Russian flies to sabotage the mission. The 13-minute Ride version is featured at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey and Six Flags Over Texas in Texas.

Re: Fly Me to the Moon Having to abide by company policy in which we must pre-screen all movies prior to showing them to the public I regretably watched this. Now it wasn't a bad movie per se but it wasn't really that good either, it was just kind of there. FMttM really offers nothing new to the realm of 3D animation and just inserted flys into the story of the Apollo 11 mission. Maybe those under 7yrs old can find something to enjoy but anyone older will most likely be bored to tears.
Grading, like watching this is, Pointless

Grading, like watching this is, Pointless Sorry, but I'm curious, I know u said it was pointless to give it a grade but if u were to grade it what would it be? _________________

Re: Fly Me to the Moon This was a very oddball movie.
Whoever had the idea of featuring flies in a movie about the Apollo moon landing obviously had a few too many wobbly pops during the script blueskying sessions...
However... how else ya gonna do it?
Not everybody's a spacenut like me. I coulda easily seen a straight telling of the Apollo 11 story in the crystal clear 3D process they employed for the rocket machinery portions. But then wadda ya do with it? Play it to empty space museum auditoriums ad infinitum?
Nope! Ya gotta add a forestory - - but dem flies is freakin' weird, man! And when they got into the Russian spy fly subplot, I almost started pullin' my hair out - - sheesh!
This is a curiosity.
A marvellously freaky weirdo sidebar to the fields of space travel and insect animation. For anyone who has even a passing interest in either of those two fields, I say go see it! If you's don't have time for science in your life, stay home and watch yer Transformers DVD yet another few times...
8 out of 5.
