This is the movie everybody thinks of when you mention Georges Melies. And why not? This delightful romp about some silly astronomers and their goofy trip to the moon is a classic. It was most likely the first movie ever made about space travel. The scene of the Man in the Moon getting hit in the eye by the Giant Space Bullet (which was shot out of the Giant Space Gun) is probably filmdom's first bona fide iconic image. This is also the first film in which the Cranky Guy on Saturn appears (spot him in a Melies film and you win a free ice cream cone on your next visit!). Enjoy! A 1902 Melies film. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *****. Weirdness: *****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: *****. Be Careful! You Could Put the Man In the Moon's Eye Out with That! 5 Christine Hennig 2006-09-13 01:37:57 2006-09-13 01:37:57 1 5.00
