     this is the problem with these freaking HG wells and jules verne movies. you either spend 90% of the time on an unrelated british countryside story or 90% of the time wandering around entirely disconnected setpiece scenes and any promising part of the premise was just like 1800's clickbait #monsterdon

     Prediction for the rest of the movie: after they get back and we fast forward to the "current day" moon landing the Selenties are justifiable annoyed and take out their wrath on the American men as the spiritual heirs of the original British mission.

     Death all around! Yes!
