Description
H.G. Wells' fantastic account of life on the moon is vividly brought to the screen by special effects master Ray Harryhausen in this amazing sci-fi epic featuring unforgettable extra-terrestrial creatures. The film begins with a team of United Nations astronauts planning an upcoming moon mission. The astronauts are both confused and intrigued by a man (Judd) who claims he, his fiancee and a scientist journeyed to the moon 65 years ago and were attacked by "Selenites," grotesque, human-like ant forms that live in immense crystal caverns. Now it is up to the U.N. team to attempt a lunar landing that could be more horrifying than ever believed possible.

 Not As Dated As You Think! July 8, 2008
The moon landing in this movie if you notice, is almost exactlly like a recent NASA Landing on Mars, which used a "Bouncing Ball" Type of landing very similar To First Men In The Moon. This Mars landing was The Mars Rover that took videos as it checked out Mars rocks....Any way how do we know What is __In The moon_, when we dont even know what is_ in our own Oceans...I will admit the movie takes Very great liberties, like men in rubber suits..but its called Science Fiction, and for our intertainment,..but I still have to wonder if NASA didnt get their Mars landing Idea from this movie...For its age this movie has wounderful Special Effects..but if your addicted to Color Drenched C.G.I. you wont appreciate the Speciall effects of, genius, Ray Harryhausen..It use to be called "Special Effects ARTIST", now its called Tecnical Effects. Todays "Special Effects" are as close as your Key Board and PC. Nothing Special anymore!
first men in the moon dvd June 7, 2008
This is a science fiction classic!! with very minimal special effects, but Good acting! One you'll want to have in your collection if you are a fan of the older science fiction movies!
 Reggie's Review May 30, 2008
I have always loved these old Harry Haussen movies. As soon as I can purchase all, I will.
If you are a fan, the price for these movies are worth it!
H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon May 14, 2008
H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon
The quality of the DVD made this classic sci-fi movie that I originally saw as a kid (I'm now 53 years old) extremely enjoyable to watch. It realy appeared to be superior in quality than the version I saw as a kid. I ordred several more classic sci-fi DVDs but have not had time to view them yet. I hope the quality of those DVDs are as good. If you are a fan of classic sci-fi and/or H.G. Wells, this movie is a must to own.
Delightful period film April 7, 2008
This movie has a special feel to it that is different to your average sci-fi film, helped by the period setting. Simplistic but highly enjoyable.
