Wow! First Men in the Moon is an amazing film for 1964! The CGI wasn't amazing, but it was fairly good for the time. I thought the start fell a bit short but the end was better. When I first saw the film I thought that the 'in' in the title was a grammar mistake, but we found out why it's actually correct. PLOT (May contain: SPOILERS): Have you heard the news! It's the first men on the moon! But, have you heard the new news! No? They're not the first men on the moon. These mysterious people landed here in 1899! There's a man who knows about it. Apparently, the story's stunning, and apparently, they didn't just roam the surface. I can't wait to hear more about it! A little boring at the start, but the end was very enjoyable. I recommend this film to 7+ because the story is sometimes a little bit scientific and hard to follow. Nice film! - Seb
