Trip to the Moon

A Trip to the Moon stands out for its technical creativity and wild imagination. For its time, the visuals are outstanding. They paint the landscape and set a very fantastical tone. As the story progresses and the travelers finally reach their destination, the world continues to spiral in strange new directions. I found the film quite breathtaking and I can see why it was so inspirational at the time. The film is pretty epic for the time period and nowadays would cost upwards of 200 million dollars to make. The production value for the time period is unbelievable. I think the oddness of the whole endeavor is something worth admiring. The moon face and the goofiness of the landscape is enjoyable to see, things that probably wouldn't be green lit today.
