      Would be totally unexceptional if not for its visual telling of the Apollo 11 flight and the fact that the movie is impressively shot - the first animated feature film in 3-D.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      An awkward mix of proficient 3-D animation, detailed technical recreation and strained storytelling that stalls on takeoff.

      Variety

      It’s a wingless exercise, despite a rather heartening attitude toward space travel that will introduce young auds to the glory that was NASA in the '60s.

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      The script appears to have been designed, created and produced entirely in 1-D: a mishmash of kidcentric antics, follow-your-dream cliches, and innocuously icky humor.

      Village Voice

      This sketchily conceived and executed space yarn is one missed opportunity after another.

      Los Angeles Times

      This oddly paced kids' entertainment displays flashes of intelligence -- then misspells terms on NASA control panels.

      Chicago Tribune

      The vocal characterizations aren't the problem here; the script and the animation are the problems, and in feature animation, you can't arrange more significant problems than those.

      The A.V. Club

      The film still suffers from cheap plasticky design, a klutzy overall look, dim preschooler humor, and a nearly impact-free story that thinks it's clever when it steals cues from 2001.
