No...really! I'm not saying Moonfall has a lot of nonsense in it. It is ALL nonsense. I don't think there are any scenes in this movie that stand up to any kind of scrutiny at all. It's as if it was written by people high on shrooms!
What makes this effort particularly guffawful was Emmerich's comments about the movie industry being ruined by the likes of Star Wars and Marvel franchises. The man said that whilst doing promo for this... a movie that is literally chock full of every tired cliche and trope you can name. It's a movie that does nothing for cinema.
So why is Moonfall bad?
I mean, apart from the lame, cringe-inducing dialogue, the sometimes poor CGI, the laughable plot, cliches and tropes, the desperate earnestness of the cast who all seem to exude a sadness that they agreed to do this, the awful awful awful (did I say awful enough times?) physics that defy any kind of reality...
Well, apart from all of that, it's fine. I recommend beer, and probably a frontal lobotomy to get the full enjoyment out of this disaster of a movie.
I gave this an additional star, just for Halle Berry being brave enough to risk another Razzie nomination.
All in all though, not really worth your time. The destruction of the Earth scenes are pretty routine, the plot is beyond mental and the physics is non-existent. Plenty of other movies (some even done by Emmerich) that are much more rewarding of your time investment. Watch one of those instead.
SUMMARY: Written by people on drugs, enjoyable only if you are on drugs. Completely ignores even basic physics. Formulaic and predictable. Lame dialogue. Top tip for a Razzie award.
