I saw the re-colored version (with really terrible music on Netflix) but, music aside, it's easy to see why this is considered one of most influential early films. Georges Méliès was a true visionary and, even after a century, his work can still inspire. A true gem that all fans of cinema should watch.

The 1902 short film A Trip to the Moon that lunched and started off the magic of film and the unpredictable power of imagine and the soul and effort that is film. Georges Méliès loved making movies and if I'm correct or not but this is his favorite movie that he ever directed and I can see why.

The funniest part of watching this movie was noticing all of the scientific inaccuracies. Neil deGrasse Tyson, eat your heart out!

This old film is not boring, mostly thanks to many ideas that makers had. We have this imaginative surrounding in wich group of people are shot into space, to the moon. Moon is funny but also unexpectedly creepy. There these earth people find these silly moon people who they manage to escape from. And than best part: they come to the edge of the moon and jump down(?) to the earth. This wasnt just funny it actually was intense. Anyway my favourite moment.

One of the earlier sci-fi films, it felt like watching a play in black and white filled with fabulous set pieces and wonderful orchestration. It was enlightening to see how they made their capsule. The editing was very good. This is one of many films that influenced fantasy related pictures involving scientists, moon, astronomy and space travel.

This is the film that most people say is the first real motion picture to have a plot and story line. Not, bad. It reappered years later as the video for the Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight."
