How does the creator of disaster films like Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 outdo himself?
Get ready to fight the f’in Moon in “Moonfall”!
Really?
"I see the bad moon falling…
OK, I’m putting a lost IQ warning on watching that trailer. God help anyone who actually sees the whole movie.
“American can, should, and must blow up the moon.”
From a short movie synopsis quoted on IMDB:
These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.
So, guesses as to what the moon really is? An alien craft (that somehow has the right amount of mass and gravity for its size), so they can get inside and steer it back into its orbit at the last minute? Home to a race of aliens (“The world is hollow, and I have touched the sky”)? Green cheese riddled with maggots?
This movie might be worth watching for the lulz about how wrong the science will be.
The bigger challenge will be spotting the real science.
The above post was made before watching the trailer. Now that I’ve seen it,
In spades.
A harsh mistress?

Smells like a possible lawsuit for copyright infringement. Somebody better call Saul!
Sort of like how the book Battlefield Earth had two bits of real science in it:
1: Herb tea is good for a stomachache.
2: Horses are not based on teleportation tech.
Maybe they can get all the heavily armed apocalyptic republicans to shoot at the moon at them same time.
Just looking at the still for the trailer (no, I didn’t click on it, I’m not an masochist)… I thought “Wow, could you get three more bland actors?” And then I answered myself, “No, you cannot.”
Be a good double feature with The Core (“Oh, no, birds are flying around! The molten core of the Earth must have reversed its rotation! We must drill down there with a nuke!”)
That’s no Moon! It’s a SPACE STATION!
Ahh, so they discover Moon Base Alpha!
Dahak lives!!!
Don’t be silly. It’s an established fact that the Moon is a giant space whale egg and that once it hatches said whale will immediately lay a new egg the exact same size as the previous Moon.
Yes, I’m dumber now. A space shuttle flying over the surface of the moon, really?
And here I thought we were going to see a bizarre adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.
Wow, I thought the plot of the book was silly.
