Sci Fi History: A Trip to the Moon (1902)


A Trip to the Moon is the first important sci-fi film. The silent is based on Jules Verne’s From Earth to the Moon and runs 14 minutes. It employs state of the art (for 1902) special effects and is one of the most technically innovative films ever made. Despite the antiquated film making techniques, the film stands up over a century later.
