my review of this film in Dutch: http://www.eenreisdoorfilm.blogspot.nl/2012/09/melies-le-voyage-extraordinaire-en-le.htmljktomas
I think it is the first sci-fi ever. Sadly there is no science in the story. (Did people back then still thought that Moon is a giant pancake?) Anyway, cool short.MovieManMark

As a reply to the comment by swhaze:How was this movie actually watched when it was made? This is taken from wikipedia.
"Though Méliès's films were silent, they were not intended to be seen silently; exhibitors often used a bonimenteur, or narrator, to explain the story as it unfolded on the screen, accompanied by sound effects and live music.[46] Méliès himself took considerable interest in musical accompaniment for his films, and prepared special film scores for several of them, including The Kingdom of the Fairies[47] and The Barber of Seville.[48] He did not require a specific musical for any film, allowing exhibitors freedom to choose whatever accompaniment they felt most suitable.[49] When the film was screened at the Olympia music hall in Paris in 1902, an original film score was reportedly written for it."

Ahhh, yet another procedural... Likely the first science fiction film, loosely based on Jules Verne's novel, 1902's Le voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon) is a maverick little silent by Georges Méliès that uses all sorts of theatrical and circus tricks to make the journey to a fantastical moonscape inhabited by acrobatic zebra people come to life. I'll admit, I'm not always sure how they did it, which is a measure of how impressive an achievement it still is. It's necessarily light on story, and I don't think it would even have gotten to 13 minutes without the padded scene at the beginning which just seems like an exercise in Méliès getting all his friends (and financiers?) into frame for a group shot. But at that length, can you really afford not to watch this whimsical part of film history? (I was joking about it being a procedural. You found me out.)Aeonxul
That was a nice experience. Also the score by AIR was very touching and atmospheric, i would like to know the name of the song titles. If anyone happens to know by any chance, please let me know. Thanks.Mette
What a charming french accent :)I feel like I've just seen the original of countless other films... anyways, it was just ok.

I watched the youtube one below first, but (mod-edit: dead link removed) has a clear and watchable picture and it includes the original ending. The music is real bad though :)ricer11
