" Legendary filmmaker Fritz Lang's prescient movie, first released in
1929, depicts scientists journeying to the moon to explore a new
frontier and finding their mission complicated by human desires and
petty jealousies. The trip is riddled with intrigue, especially when a
student and an engineer begin a dalliance. More important, their
rocket is malfunctioning, which heightens tensions. And when they
finally land, greed rears its dreadful head. " - Netflix
This movie really works visually, but it's flattened by a hopeless
plot. The acting is the full overly expansive style common to the
silent films.
