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 Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all -- but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson, "Midway") and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley, "Game of Thrones") believe her. 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.

May 20, 2022 Full Review Moonfall | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Liz Shannon Miller Consequence In the credits for Moonfall, theres at least one astronaut consultant listed, but most of the film feels like a sustained dare to create the least realistic space movie ever made.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/22 Full Review Rick C I didn't know much about this movie but my wife wanted to see it so we went. It's like 12 sci-fi movies rolled into one. Great cgi and a good pace. Overall it was entertaining. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/22 Full Review Jon R This is quintessential Roland Emmerich film, not skipping any of his usual beats. Not his best but also not his worst. Fast moving film, not much filler. A better build up of its major Sci-fi concept would have been nice. Dumb fun but fun none the less.
