Delivering this generation’s Plan 9 from Outer Space, writer/director/producer Roland Emmerich spends a lot of other people’s money in pursuit of cinematic immortality.

Advancing from pie plate UFOs, this time the moon is the menace heading to earth to cause devastation and destruction. So it’s time for outcast Astro boy Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and hot NASA heroine Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) to suit up and save the day. They drag along conspiracy theorist KC Houseman (John Bradley) to complete their ragtag team.

 

 

Hitching a gravity-led sleigh ride to the moon after the repurposed space shuttle blows a gasket, they encounter what’s really going on with the moon, and here’s a clue, it’s not made out of cheese, or is it? As fodder for a drinking game, there are just too many categories to choose and headaches will ensue.

Emmerich stretches almost every law known to man well past the breaking point. so needless to say the law of physics and laws of science didn’t stand a chance. Nor did the law of common sense. This is filmmaking pushed so far past the ridiculous zone, it needs a new category created around it.

With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson), and conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley) believe her. The unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space only to find out that our moon is not what we think it is.

 

 

Moonfall is directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak, and Donald Sutherland.

Moonfall is coming to Australian cinemas on February 3rd 2022.
