Hi Everyone
I am starting something new, and will continue this every week. I am going to watch a new realease movie in the theater, and share with you my thoughts on the movie. This week I watched the movie “Fly me to the Moon.” This movie is animnated and in 3D. Let me be blunt about the movie to begin with. This movie would not be worth watching if it wasn’t for the 3D. I am usually annoyed by 3d movies, but this one was well done. The Story line is very predictable, and slow. The only other plus to this movie besides the 3D is the Space program history that goes along with the movie. The way I am going to rate the movies I watch is two fold. I will rate the movie first on quality and content of the movie. With this rating I will use bread loafs, the highest rating possible is 5 loafs. The next rating is the overall message of the movie, the kind of moral or life lesson from the movie. I will use a fish for this rating, 5 fish is the highest rating a movie can get.
You so didn’t get this movie!! You only rated it 2 out of 5 on morality? I don’t know what animation films you have seen the last 5 – 10 years, but FLY ME TO THE MOON is so amazing that I took my kids (5,10 and 12) to see it Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am screaming off the rooftops telling everyone and anyone who will listen how fantastic this film is!! Never in all my years have I seen a movie so inspiring, not mean-spirited, has some education thrown in, not too hip for the room humor. Simple story with no underlying comedic innuendo for the parents sake. I mean parents have been begging for a movie like this….where the heck were the parents??? No one supported this movie?? Does anyone get it that todays kids don’t even know what a hero is? Hopefully they will take their kids to see it before it leaves the theaters. Oh, did I mention that the mother in this animated film is alive? Name 5 Disney animated movies that even have that! I give it ten loaves of bread, ten fish and the kitchen sink! Bless those filmmakers for an admiral job. I hope they will continue to make more movies with a positive message.
