A Trip To The Moon / Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902) :
Brief Review -
Earliest Sci-Fi Phenomena in Cinema World. The first groundbreaking visual masterpiece of 20th Century. Sci-fi was explored in long length feature film during mid 20s but French cinema's magic man Georges Méliès was doing it even before 19th century ended. When i heard that this man was the only one at that time who created visual phenomenons like magical moments, disappearance tricks on screen, unseen worlds and fascinating atmosphere etc i became very anxious to see his work. Thanks to AFIs list of 1001 movies where A Trip To The Moon is the First film sorted in ascending year wise mode otherwise i would have never came across this miraculous product. While reviewing the film made in 1902 i don't need to talk about storyline, screenplay, acting and rest of filmmaking aspects and i am feeling very good about it. No need to use brain for the tactical understanding because just seeing just the Film made in 1902 is so freaking awesome feeling in itself, you know what i mean. The film is about a group of astronomers go on an expedition to the Moon. The visual statics of are so fascinating, first the cannon-capsule they travel in then the moon surface and the scenary around there. Then there are stunning graphics, iconic images like stars, angles, snowing around and what not. And above all the disappearance of "Aliens" was just unbelievable, i mean i couldn't believe my eyes that these visuals were achieved in 1902 and in such a gigantic manners, neat and clean like ice. The sublime storytelling is marvelous and not just fine for the time but highly influential for the future films made in the entire century. I am STUNNED, SHOCKED and BLESSED to have seen this astounding short and I request you to see it. This is where the concept of larger than life cinema was born.
RATING - 9/10*
