Re: Moonfall The first hour is kind of fun in a cheesy B-movie kind of way, but once some of the larger scale sci-fi concepts are introduced here the film completely loses its way and becomes a dumb, incoherent mess. I also found John Bradley's performance hugely grating. C-

He seems basically everything that is bad about Josh Gad and Nick Frost (who I love, but he can be grating) had a lovechild and they threw 140 million dollars anchored on him in the marketing campaign. And then they were like, you know who sells tickets, Patrick Wilson! This might be the most baffling film of all time. You needed an absolute A lister for this to have any chance. _________________ Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun. Chippy wrote: I want to live vicariously through you, Thegun!

Re: Moonfall Patrick Wilson, Halle Berry and Game of Thrones 15th most beloved actor in a disaster movie in 2022. Great combination.

Re: Moonfall My god this was dumb. I never paid attention to the trailer when it was attached to movies I'd see. So I'm not sure if the silly WTF-ness of the second half was something shown in the ads but the movie was not what I was expecting. Legit barely understood what was going on in like the last 45 minutes. But honestly don't even think it's worth putting any thought into. I'll give it that it isn't super boring so that's a plus but I also didn't find it all that interesting or even fun. Emmerich shouldn't be allowed to make movies anymore. And with as much money as this is going to lose he just might not be allowed to.

Re: Moonfall This was so dumb in the best way possible.
Even though Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry are the movie stars here, it seems like Sam from Game of Thrones is the true hero of the story. Godzilla v Kong also had a "the crazy conspiracy guy was right all along!" type of story. Kind of weird. They spend so much time explaining the SuperConstruct "theory" and he's always so absolutely certain that he's right that I found it frustrating when his craziness was validated. Atleast give us an additional "not even I could have seen that coming!" type of twist.
The movie also has no urgency whatsoever. The world is gonna end in 3 days? Eh, shit happens, get back to work.
Hard one to grade. Really does feel like a bigger budget version of a ScyFy original. I find enjoyment in these bad action movies, but one can never forget that they are in fact Bad Movies.
