"A trip to the moon" is the first science movie ever made and it was mainly inspired by "From the Earth to the Moon" of Jules Verne.
This short movie was released in 1902 by Georges Méliès, who was a French magician in a first place but then became a filmmaker after being inspired by les Frères Lumières. Monsieur Méliès passed away in 1938 in Paris and has a filmography made of more than 30 movies. He is definitely considered as a pioneer of the cinema and its works worth having a look.
