Review of An Impossible Voyage

After the success of A Trip to the Moon that had the iconic moment of the rocket lodged in the moon's eye, Georges Melies made The Impossible Voyage and had a train go into the sun's mouth. Then we see the passengers get all hot so someone gets all the ice but then all of them, except one who stayed outside the train, now gets frozen! How they get unfrozen shouldn't be too hard to guess but I won't reveal here. There's also some good slapstick pieces involving fire and steam and luggage in the beginning. Wonderful use of color-tinting throughout. Like A Trip to the Moon, The Impossible Voyage is based on a Jules Verne tale and is just as fascinating as the previous film. By all means, if you're a Melies enthusiast, seek this one out.
