The film that I was most interested in was A Trip to the Moon. I loved how creative the film was and the special effects involved.
The film tells the story of a trip to the moon, which involves figuring out how to get there, building a rocket, taking off, landing, encountering aliens, and returning back to earth. This film was way ahead of its time and took a lot of creativity, especially because these things had not been done before. For example, this film came out in 1902, and the first rocket launch was in 1926, meaning that no one had ever seen a rocket launch, so everything they did they made up. This also shows when they land on the moon and meet the aliens. I enjoyed seeing how playful he made the film.
I really enjoyed how there was a story to follow in the film as well. They also added so many comedic scenes, which I really enjoyed, like when the women all pushed the rocket with the men in it when realistically it would weigh tons or when the spaceship was shot into space like a cannon. But my overall favorite part of the film was the special effects, especially for the time it was made. The rocket landing and the explosion were so far ahead of their time, as was the camera work during the moon scene.
A Trip to the Moon was a trailblazer in the film industry because of the special effects and outlandish ideas and still has an effect in the film industry today.
