Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

grantss A group of scientists build a rocket and fly to the Moon.Wonderfully imaginative and innovative. Directed by Georges Melies, a pioneer in the art and technology of film-making. Shot in 1902, when cinema was in its infancy, the movie shows cinema's theatrical roots, as well as the resourcefulness and ingenuity a pioneer like Melies possessed, and needed to possess. Clever set design, "special effects" and editing. Good plot with a great innocence and imagination to it all. It also gave us the iconic moon-with-a-rocket-in-its-face image.Such a landmark film in cinema history that it features heavily in Martin Scorsese's homage to cinema - 'Hugo' (2011).

Kirpianuscus Its basic virtue - the profound, surprising freshness. and the magic as tool for the return to the childhood spirit. its humor, the ancient stop-motion, the smoke, the lovely script and the naivety are the reasons for see it often. because it is a meet more than a show. because it is between old sensation popular theaters and cinema. because it represents a sort of birth certificate . as slice from our memory. and identity. the magic of it escapes to definitions. but it works in admirable manner.

Felix1998 A Trip to the Moon was released in 1902 in France. The story is easy to explain. A group of Astronauts wants to explore the moon with a self-made rocket, which get into space with a catapult, which looks like a big canon. The group lands in the foreign world, where they discover a cave, in which they have to fight against the moon residents. This aggressive type of aliens take the human group as prisoners. The presentation of the moon, the imagination the people had in 1902 is very interesting. They had the idea of a moon with a lot of nature and foreign types of plants. I also liked the music, in the beginning funny, then suddenly really dramatically, which supports the scenes very well.All in all, a short and old piece of art with a topic, which was revolutionary for the film industry in the beginning of the 20th century. 8/10

rodrigo di pietro The movie is a simple production today, but in the time when he went to the big screens it was an incredible success. The production shows us about how was the thoughts and the imagination of the people from the beginning of the 20th century: a mind in what the the future could be and where we gonna go with the advance of technology. Because of this and his historical value the film still be presented in all the film classes around the world. Watch this historical story let us be transported to another century in a totally different timeless. I strongly recommend you watch because his effects to the cinematography are huge.a
