If there is one thing that I can take away from the experience, it's that it's quite enjoyable watching movies with a big group of people. It's always fun and it never gets old.
But seriously, the Fly reminds of of how dangerous human curiosity can be for the sake of scientific discovery. We can forsake human relationships, ethics, social norms, even our own mental and physical states just to be able to know if the things we think are right in our minds are truly and absolutely true and justified in the real world.
Granted, if we are right, then it justifies, in a sense, all the things we did to get to that point. But what if we are wrong? Does it fall under the token assumption that we did this "for the greater good"? That if failures of today justifies the successes of tomorrow, would it be worth it to try even it there is a large risk of losing yourself in all of it?
If history is to be believed, then the answer is yes because history only completely remembers the winners. But we should always keep in mind that buried under those successes are failures great and small. Unnamed, uncared for, and unknown.
