Critic Reviews for A Trip to the Moon

Melies was a true visionary and pioneer who shall always be remembered as will A Trip to the Moon, as partly where everything we love as film fans and dramatists began.

Melies was clearly pushing boundaries and demonstrating the potential for narrative storytelling, searching for product that couldn't be emulated by the stage.

This is live-action film, but transformed by Méliès's ingenious in-camera editing and those gorgeous paints to be something more like a cartoon. It's gorgeous, it's ludicrous and it's heaps of fun.

It has not lost much of its original power, to dazzle and entertain.

That childlike wonder at the power of cinema is what makes A Trip to the Moon, and indeed all of Méliès' work, so very special
June 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
But it's fun for a whimsical getaway that will take you away from reality for a 87 minutes.

Aug 25, 2019I just knew this was gonna have a high score on letterboxd. Yo, it's important, it's visionary, it's observable history, it's revolutionary for it's time, all that jazz. But guess what else? I don't for a minute believe those people actually went to the moon. Should still be required viewing for film classes though.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Apr 28, 2014A Trip to the Moon is worth the short runtime. It's the first sci-fi film and has been an influence to everything that has come after it. This is a nice little imaginative sci-fi film from one of filmmaking first pioneer. Putting into context when this was made and how short a period of time it had been since making films had even been possible, is pretty crazy to think about. Definitely give this one a look. It's nice to see where cinema started.Melvin W Super Reviewer

Apr 23, 2013You have to wonder what Georges Melies would do with the full range of film making techniques that exist today. Considering that he was operating at the birth of cinema, what he has come up with is marvelously creative with fun imagery.John B Super Reviewer
