This is actually an indie film with many parties around the world as investors. It's Emmerich's new business model.
It's opening during the Chinese New Year holiday - going for that Wandering Earth audience. It's going to make a lot of money.

Cant beat a bit of Emmerich disaster porn.
Also love how they are using some ancient alien theory in here, like the hollow moon/moon is a space ship theory. For anyone that doesnt follow this stuff, many people, including some scientists over the years, think the moon is hollow, or is an alien structure.
There are nemerous things that have brought people to think this. One being that all the craters or the moon, big or small, catastrophic impacts or small impacts, all have a very similar depth in their craters, almost as if the surface of the moon isnt very deep and some metalic sphere must be stopping craters going deeper.
Another problem was when the Apollo astronauts sent the lander to crash into the moon to see what happens, the moon 'rung' like a bell for over an hour.
And also there are loads of ancient mythology from ancient peoples of the world that talk about the moon not being there in the past, and it was brought to the Earth by 'the Gods'.
There are other stuff too if you research it..

And that it's also made of cheese.

I want to see this movie. It is interesting that I was making a small game with kind of the same idea as the moon.

That scene looks sick and I also love Patrick Wilson.

Unofficially Independence Day 3 (that was silently canceled due to the underperforming of Independence Day Resurgence), so ya, the goddamn Aliens once again!

Ok Emmerich you bastard, I'll take this as a birthday gift. One week early but that's ok.
Will see this at the theaters.

Not hyped for this at all. There'll be mass destruction, but once again humanity will find a way to save the earth and everybody lives happily ever after.
Grow some balls and wipe out the whole earth. Make sure it's slow as well. I want to see the slow, painful destruction of the planet. I want humanity to be totally hopeless.

Uh, just go outside and look around if you want to see a movie about the slow destruction of the Earth....

Seen it. Brilliant film.
That's how you do a disaster movie. Not this usual, Roland Emmerich tosh of Uncle Sam kicking the shit out of the disaster.

Where "Moonfall" finally goes remains behind spoiler walls, but Emmerich is trying to add some Kubrickian touches to what's essentially a rehash of "Independence Day." It's all stuffed with harebrained writing and oddly lifeless performances (Berry refuses to react to anything), but Emmerich remains Emmerich, offering scenes of mass destruction and tight spaceship maneuvering. The director makes room for audience moments, but he doesn't earn them with this big-budget distraction, which remains unadventurous when it comes to fresh ideas, keeping things familiar and simplistic until the climax, when things suddenly explode into deep sci-fi (setting things up for a sequel). All the ingredients are there for something wildly absurd yet agreeably screwball, but "Moonfall" doesn't have the energy to deliver anything but inept scenes of heroism and a growing sense of seriousness while presenting pure ridiculousness.

In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling 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 (Academy Award® winner Halle...

What did people expect? This is the same guy that gave us 2012.

Midway was awesome, but the more footage I see of this one the less I'm inclined to give it a chance, mainly since all the characters seem unbearable.

Haven't seen Midway. Rewatched Stargate last night as I had fond memories of it from my childhood. It's pretty damn bad.
I expect Moonfall to be on the same level as The Day After Tomorrow, which to me is bad but watchable bad. Full disclosure I love disaster flicks.
