Audience Reviews for A Trip to the Moon

  • Aug 25, 2019
    I 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.

    Seventeen minutes of film that changed the then newly burgeoning medium forevermore.

    A 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.

    You 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.
