The same can be said for "Fly Me to the Moon," a generic, computer-generated catastrophe that you have to watch with shades.
Reminiscent of Jerry Seinfeld's boring "Bee Movie," director Ben Stassen and screenwriter Domonic Paris chose an insect to revolve an underdog story around without thinking things through.

These moments in the film are pretty nifty, even the silly moment where the fat fly Scooter (David Gore) sucks weightless drops of orange juice into his gullet.
Now that is good and all, but save for a few rare cases, all the filmmakers attention seems to be poured into the effects rather than, you know, making a good movie.

A G-rated family film, the story is voiced by talents, Kelly Ripa, Christopher Lloyd, Nicollette Sheridan, Tim Curry and a live action/animation cameo by real life Apollo 11 astronaut, Buzz Aldrin.
