A Trip to the Moon aka La voyage dans la lune [1902]

**insert visual of a space rocket hitting the moon in the eye**
 
Image description: The image says the following: Directors: Georges Méliès / Genres: Sci-fi Action Adventure / Year: 1902 / Rating: ****_ / Review: This 1902 theatrical, black & white, silent & short film is a delightful and quaint watch. The version I watched was a restored, hand-coloured one and I can see why it is so loved, and so influential. Not much to the story; scientists arrange to launch a rocket to the moon and back, but you can tell it's peppered with pretty humorous, archaic anecdotes about space travel given what we know about it today! Well worth a watch; though it's impossible to measure it against modern day blockbusters. Would still recommend.
