A Trip to the Moon is really an amazing piece for its time. The sets reflect those of the over-exaggerated and heavily descriptive stages of classic opera. The effects that are used may not seem like much, but for a film from 1902, it really leaves one to wonder just how they pulled off such fantastic visuals. Georges Méliès was truly an innovator of his time, bringing about special effects and magnificent settings that can still be appreciated even now, more than one hundred years later.
