I think they might have been shoving the proverbial Overton Window straight through the Fourth Wall, there, in describing the government's cutting of the actual "Moonfall Movie" program. In any event, just like any other example of questionable government spending, this movie likely will be set to pay for itself once the Bank of England goes belly up. That was a joke.

It was made to go no further than low earth orbit. It just isnt capable to carry enough fuel. And even if it could go somwhere further than LEO, it wouldn't have fuel to come back. It's the same bulshit as in the Armageddon. Also good luck trying to fly it manually. Space shuttle was basically a brick with little stubby wings. I also wonder how they managed to keep life support systems online or even start the engines without electricity.

Have you ever watched a movie and suddenly it ends and you realize you were so absorbed in the movie you didn't realize how much time had passed. Like you were almost PART of the movie? I recently wanted an older movie and had this happened to me. Then I realized how often it used to happen in the past and how seldomly it happens to me now in the present with modern movies. I just can't watch a modern movie without them doing something so offensive or uncomfortable that I get completely pulled out of the experience like every 2 minutes. NO IMMERSION.

They complained about every conceivable thing, including that it had Jaye Davidson from The Crying Game in it as if that actor wasn't supposed to be in anything else ever again after he was in The Crying Game. Anyway, I remember thinking even as a 14-year-old boy that they didn't know what they were talking about and that that movie was awesome. Of course, the movie gave rise to the series, which is still one of the best sci-fis of all time. Siskel and Ebert were so pretentious and misguided.

There was just too much going on.

Until now, that is, when I thought "you know what, I'll watch this review. At least it's bound to be entertaining." And it was, don't get me wrong... but when the Drinker regaled us with the finer plot points beyond the priceless "Artificial! Did we mention that?" detail, I could practically feel myself getting stupider by the second. I envy the man I was 15 minutes ago. Alas, he's gone forever, and I can only struggle on as best as I can from now on.
Having see the movie, the problem is that you have scenes like the Moon passing right over New York, and those are the kinds of scenes you go to see a movie like this for, except there aren't nearly enough of those kind of scenes in the movie, and most of them aren't long enough either. So it's a disaster movie with a major deficit on disaster scenes.

Interesting, I was looking over Moonfall yesterday and my boy Critical Drinker comes out with a review of it. This is a great way to start my morning.

To be fair the dude who played Jamie Lannister ( Nikolai what's his name) was in Shot Caller which is maybe one of the greatest Prison movies ever made and he has made a few more smaller movies that are great. None of them were really destined to be giant movie stars.

The plot twist that the bad alien AI is pushing the moon to the earth and when they go to the moon to use the EMP they find out that the AI aliens inside are a seperate faction who are actually good isn't all that bad of a story, honestly. The idea that the heroes go to the moon with a weapon to destroy the machinery inside it only to find out that if they did so, it would only quicken their destruction because the machinery inside is working hard to slow and prevent the collision, it could be an okay-ish episode of Star Trek. And at the last minute, they stop the countdown on the EMP and work together with the good AI aliens inside to defeat the bad aliens pushing the moon towards Earth.... Standard Star Trek-like plot right there. But for whatever reason they jammed it inexplicably into a disaster movie.

No. Stop it. It's a terrible story.

They could even have made it an old space probe sent out of the galaxy which developed It's own AI & now appears as a threat to Earth. Oh...waitaminute....

I loved this movie. I knew that it would be so spectacularly dumb that my girl and I had to see it. There was only one other couple in the theater but I think they probably came to see a serious movie because they were a lot angrier about how bad it was while we were laughing at everything. Totally worth it

My roommate saw a review and called me in to see the bit where they were talking about the moon sneaking up on people like a serial killer. After that, I absolutely had to see it. I was not the least bit disappointed.

Something tells me both of you are probably MST3K fans too. 😉

I too watched this movie on an intercontinental flight, well I sorta watched it. I had forgotten all about it until I saw this video! I think I fell asleep about 45 minutes in. I remember watching the beginning but for the life of me I can't remember Sam actually going into space.

How about this: A film that starts with a 5-10 minute sequence where you see celestial bodies and star systems drift towards the largest black hole you have ever seen, and then we switch to some well-written drama / character play on Earth (which is, of course, also soon to be falling towards the singularity beyond the event horizon). This constant emotional background could spice things up quite a lot. Could even be a bank heist movie. Just to try something new. If it's well done, it won't feel gimmicky but will instead give us, yet again, some emotional music we've not yet experienced.
