Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film shows the first countdown to the launch of a rocket - not just the first one in a movie, but the first ever. It was invented as a dramatic device for the movie. Previously, all launches were begun with a count upward from zero to a designated number (usually ten). Also depicted for the first time are the use of liquid rocket fuel, a rocket with two stages, and zero gravity in space.
- GoofsWhen Helius listens for Friede's heartbeat, fearing that the launch may have killed her, we can see her breathing heavily.

Featured review
"Frau im mond" is undoubtedly one of the first and most important Sci-Fi movies ever made. Directed by Austrian director Fritz Lang best known for his masterpieces "M" and "Metropolis", it's a story of a half-mad greedy scientist obsessed with the idea of getting gold from the moon and a moon expedition that follows, there is also a love story that goes along. The look of the film is quite impressive, considered that it was made in 1929. Hitler later banned it, because the spaceship featured there was nearly identical to V-2s that were constructed in secrecy by the Third Reich at the time. An early Sci-Fi classic, a must see for any serious Sci-Fi fan. 8/10
