THE PLOT:

Andre Delambre is a great scientist trying to prefect a new kind of transportation system, that transform the traveler into energy and rebuilds them back to normal once reaching their destination. But several miscalculations has hindered the project.

The worst is when a common house fly gets into the machine cause them to exchange DNA, now Andre is fighting to find the fly with the human head while he losing control every day.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

This is a great classic with great effects and great story. The cast does a great job as well. One major problem with I will chalk up to the time period and that they didn't know any better. Even though flies have so many eyes they don't see hundreds of everything. That's a myth, like we have two eyes but we don't see two of everything. But that's a minor complaint. 9 STARS

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

The only complaint I have with is with type of movie more then this movie itself. The message of "There are some things man was not meant to know." That's just bull****! If we gave up every time disaster struck science, even disaster that claims a life we'd still be in the bleeding dark ages. Science is risky but the gains are worth the risk, every life lose to further mankind makes them a martyr to a better tomorrow not a victim to be pitied. But as for this movie, I give it 9 STARS as well.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ EFFECTS (The effects work.)
+ STORY (Dramatic and interesting.)
+ CHARACTERS (The characters work.)
+ CAST (The cast does a great job.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- EYES (Flies don't see 1,000 different images just because they have 1,000 eyes.)
- MORAL (The whole there are some things man was not meant to know moral is just wrong and backward thinking.)

...AND FINALLY...

- FAN BASED (If this style of movie isn't for you, then I can't recommend it.)
