Excellent. Méliès was a true visionary. I can only imagine what those unworldly vistas and space adventures did to the imaginations of the viewers at the turn of the 20th century.
There is also the satire aspect of the film, but I do not care about it.

Crude in terms of filmmaking technique. Both story and acting better than in the next part of the series: The Aerial Submarine.
8. Memorize (2012)
7 min | Short, Sci-Fi

Votes: 1,134
Another rip-off from by Segundo de Chomón. Mostly known for being one of the earliest films to use stop motion animation. The story feels like a platform to show off the technique.

Cyberpunk. Nice special effects. The cyberpunk look and feel is there but the plot is weak, there is basically no acting and the narrative voice over is almost unintelligible.
