Three kids who play a competitive sailboarding flag-capturing game end up involved in a moon mission to stop a mad squillionaire businessman from destroying evidence of the 1969 moon landing, and reunite the father and grandfather of one of them.

This Spanish-produced CGI feature is really strange. On one level it works perfectly satisfactorily as a kids' action adventure movie. On another, it puzzles the adult viewer as it blends hyper-realistic scientific detail with things which have you going "Huh?" (not least of which is the way that NASA allows three pre-pubescent kids to wander in and out without any kind of security issues arising).

There is also a credibility mismatch between the NASA mission hardware (conventional rocket, command module, LEM) and the baddie's state-of-the-art sci-fi spaceship and its payload of heavy duty machinery. I doubt that this will trouble the intended audience, though, most of whom will be of an age with the protagonists.

This mismatch also applies on the animation side. The scientific detail is excellent, from NASA hardware to the moon's surface, gravity, and so on. But the human faces, particularly the kids, are all strangely bland, unfinished, and similar (apart from the chubby, scientific genius, incredibly annoying, ginger kid).

I can't say that I thought this was great, but I guess it would be a lot easier to think more of it if I was age 9.

Great movie that contains brilliant and enticing animated pieces that have the rare quality of appealing both , youngsters and adults but on different levels . Good animation movie in magnificent visual style about the amazing adventures of three kiddies who aboard a space shuttle in NASA . It stars Mike (voice by Danny Rovira) a valiant 12 years old boy who embarks on a fantastic moon trip to defeat a nasty and ambitious villain . Accompanied by his grandfather , a forgotten retired astronaut ,and his sweetheart Amy (voice by Michelle Jenner) and an amusing chameleon with delusion of giant monster-like grandeur, arrive in the moon to take the US Flag and join his family. Meanwhile,the headstrong surfer Mike has to confront a ruthless billionaire who is planning a scheme to rewrite history and excise the feats of the Apolo XI and the moon landing.

This is a high quality picture plenty of adventures,funny incidents , humor with tongue in cheek and fantasy.The film includes as technical advisers, the known astronauts Alan Bean and Miguel Lopez Alegria who was the first Spanish astronaut to go the outer space. The animation movie has some very funny scenes , emotion, entertainment and amusement .Top-notch production ,lavishly and colorfully realized similarly to a Hollywood product.Sensational and fantastic tale with noisy action , surprising situations and results to be big fun.

The motion picture was very well directed by Enrique Gato . Being advisable to see for children and adults who appeal the splendid computer generator animation.

Billionaire energy magnate Richard Carson III claims that the moon landings were faked. He also claims that NASA rejected his father and vows to be the real first man on the moon. In truth, he's trying to mine Helium-3 on the moon which could be the next great power source and super weapon. The American President decides to dust off an old museum 40 year old Saturn rocket. Mike Goldwing is a wind boarding kid with his friends Amy and techie Marty who has Igor the lizard. His father is picked to be the astronaut for the moon mission. His former astronaut grandfather Frank reluctantly joins all the old crews who are the only experts left in the old rocket. Frank has gone into retirement isolation and estranged from his family ever since he was left off the last moon launch. Mike works to close the family rift and end the family curse by sneaking onto the NASA launch. Only Carson had sent a saboteur.

This is a Spanish animated movie. The animation is good but not at the best Hollywood levels. It's better than TV but not the best of theatrical fare. The story has some positives. The characters are good and I like the kids. The lizard in a spacesuit is stupid. The premise itself has potential but some of it is stupid. An accidental launch is reminiscent of an 80's kids movie. It doesn't make much sense that the kids would break into NASA anyways. The other big noticeable difference is the lack of celebrities doing the voice-work. The modern animated movie needs the celebrities for promotion. It's probably money well spend and this movie fails to do that.
