I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The acting in this movie is really good.
With all the recent news about Google developing a car that doesn't need a driver, this mixed live-action-and-animation piece from Kineto Films -- they produced about three dozen cartoons in this era -- will be a very funny warning. Thanks to the BFI for uploading it on their Youtube site! It's directed by Walter Booth, the ex-stage magician who was England answer to Georges Melies. The action, which involves a gormless bridegroom and his bride using a mechanical man to drive their car on a honeymoon trip to Saturn is a comic gloss on Melies' A TRIP TO THE MOON, with some regular animation and some in the style of Terry Gilliam. Its use of Melies-style imagery specifically for comic effect will startle fans of early cinema.
