First Men In the Moon

Victorians land on the moon during the 19th Century.  An eccentric scientist invents an anti-gravity formula called corbonite that he uses to coat his bathysphere spaceship to travel to the moon.

With the help of a neighbor who is a writer and his girlfriend the trio find themselves rocketing toward the moon in the makeshift spacecraft.

Landing (more like a controlled crash) the trio of humans setout to explore the Moon.  With only two spacesuits available the men venture outside while the woman stays inside the homemade space capsule.

The men discover a huge geometric dome and signs of life.  They decide to explore.

I don’t know about you but I love science fiction films from the 1960s and H.G. Wells’ First Men In The Moon is one of the best.

With its stellar cast, clever Victorian sets and costumes, exciting soundtrack and clever script combined with its visual and practical effects it is a classic film.

The twist ending is a real showstopper and the drama, action and comedy all combine to make a great film.

The movie can be found on DVD from Columbia Pictures and includes lots of cool extras such as trailers, featurettes, a photo gallery and more.
