Moonfall (2022)

In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurdling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman believe her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find that they just might have prepared for the wrong mission. —Centropolis EntertainmentOf course, those who are not picky will love it.But Roland Emmerich , previously with Dean Devlin and now solo, has always been a futile and superficial director in the treatment of these scripts. And it’s a shame, because they are great plots, but they lack talent and brains in charge. And while the catastrophe genre is appealing and Emmerich likes to involve in it , he’s like the party entertainer with jokes that only he laughs at.Looking at his resume, you can see that he has great intentions that he doesn’t know how to develop. For those who remember, 2012 (Geez!), The Day After Tomorrow, 1998’s Godzilla, Independence Day and even The Patriot are good examples of this. You watch it, enjoy it, but when it ends, you get that impression of “it could have been better” or “this premise promised much more”. It’s always the same thing.When I saw his name linked to the production, I was already thinking “Hey! Here comes bland food…”.Verdict: weak. It gets a 5.0, just for some special effects. But the nonsense development of the plot and the mediocre solutions destroy the film’s progress.
