6:15 Imagine sitting through 90 minutes of this, only to realize that it was just an elaborate way for the movie theater to tell you to turn off your phone during the movie, and then the previews end, and you remember you're there to see Toy Story and Furious 26...
Also 2012 was based, at least lightly, on a book written by two pretty good writers who did a huge amount of research... and found themselves laughed at after publishing. Now a lot of the weather problems that they pointed out were likely to happen, well, _are_ happening (late snows, big storms, etc.). So starting to make a movie with a good idea is always a... good idea.
Well, in 2012 that Russian ‘bad’ guy plummeting from the ledge to push his son onto boat is still remembered 10 years later by me. And it a film I’ve seen only once. Damn, that was a moment that even most ‘drama’ films don’t achieve.
Yeah, it was a haunting scene. It made me sympathise with him and his sons. He wasn't a good man but he died doing his duty of protecting his children.
I watched this with my Grandpa and we were just laughing at how bad this was and our main question was: When the the AI was stopped How the hell did the moon just suddenly return to orbit like wouldn't it keep moving into Earth if it was that close already? I understand taking liberties with realism in movies like these but when the movie is trying to use physics for why an event is happening it makes it more noticable
That is actually consistent with the story, the nanobots hindered the energy source of the moon so it couldnt self correct its flight arround earth... after destroying the swarm it was able to fly again and could self correct back into orbot. That makes sense in the universe... What didnt make sense: The energy source was a white dwarf that thing has a mass between 0.15-1.2 of our suns. Therefore it has similar gravity, therefore the spaceshipmoon can change its mass, otherwise it would have broken earth into pieces Why does it not change its mass after nearing earth to avoid damaging it...
No, no. The moon is not a moon, it's a giant spaceship that just looks like a moon. Once the super high-tech jabberwocky stopped hacking/sucking power from the core/interfering with its operation, the moon mini-AI could instantly start the big moon engine and move the moon back to the optimal position. And because the moon is a super-awesome spaceship, it could move really, really fast. Except when it's falling down to Earth. Also, the film forgets to mention that ~95% of humans, animals, and plants are probably dead already, and the interfering gravity might have ripped big slices into Earth, or might have started other tectonic-related super-disasters. The Yellowstone Caldera probably erupted. The economy and the energy grids are gone. Humanity is, if at all, back to the early dark ages. Okay, having control of the moon-ship might help recovery by a lot. Hopefully quick enough until main AI shows up. Which has probably taken over a few Galaxies and became a Kardashev 3.x Level Powerhouse. It wouldn't even need to come personally. It could just focus the power of a hundred suns into an intergalactic death beam.
You would think the environmental effects on Earth if the Moon's orbit was disrupted would be catastrophic. If there wasn't an Extinction event happening already, multiple ecosystems on our planet would at the very least be affected by the crazy weather patterns that would ensue.
It reminds me of something like transformers where nothing makes sense, that it's supposed to be dumb fun action. Except this movie wasn't really that. Just a flop

Its really incredibly how they made a concept like the moon falling into earth with a mysterious alien monster being being involved beyond our comprehension and somehow make it lame and disappointing
@@jaideepshekhar4621you’d think that since a rogue Ai beat an interstellar travel capable humanity that was far far ahead of modern humanity that it wouldn’t be some lovecraftian horror since AI is already a black box, imagine that box is a trillion trillion trillion trillion times better than our strongest modern computer.

@@jaideepshekhar4621t this point if you want to be more realistic that the nanites makes the movie weaker since because it should have been adapted to emps and extremely high levels of radiation. It should have been the main focus of the movie instead of the moon falling because the nanites would be way beyond human comprehension and current human technology it should be an unstoppable cosmic horror that humanity would just be as helpless to stop it on par with the moon actually falling into the earth
I'd like to see your take on Downsizing, I think it is a good example of how a concept film can fall apart very quickly when the concept loses importance to the plot.
At no point in chasing the little shuttle at the end of the movie does the nanocloud realize it is a CLOUD that could break apart and attack from multiple directions, instead it just continues to chase it as a big single piece.
The weird thing is that 2012 (2009) feels like a bigger more extravaganza disaster movie version of The Day After Tomorrow (2004) (which was basically the blueprint to 2012 (2009)). And now we got Moonfall (2022) which tries to out do 2012 (2009). That's not happening.
@@ecogreen123 You liked it more than 2012? What exactly did you like? I felt the drama, the tension, the plot, the plausibility, the emotions and the visuals were better in the former.
"We scanned your consciousness. You're part of the moon now." This final line made me convulse out of my seat and double over the empty seat in front of me, slapping it while screaming. No other film ever made me behave that way in public. Moonfall is a comedic triumph.
Fun fact:Animals, including humans, all have a very faint electromagnetic aura. It's very weak but it's there. So if the monster can sense a phone from that distance then once closer the monster could have pin pointed the humans without the phone. Edit: there are a ton of papers on the subject of Biomagnetism but I'm not paying the fee or spending my day emailing all the PHDs to see if I can get a free copy, please look into yourself as the research is there I'm just not gonna fight you on a RUclips comment section
Yeah, I thought they were going to use horror movie logic for one of the characters to do something stupid (bring the phone) and have it buzz or something that forces the characters into an action scene
Hollywood in a nutshell. Who needs a good story? Just shit more diversity and fake feminism. I am sure people will love it! Wait, why are we losing money?
I was literally about to comment something very similar. I think I saw one of the first trailers for this right before seeing the 1st Sonic Movie or Spider-Man: Far from Home & the instant I saw the trailer I rolled my eyes & said something along the lines of "Oh geez, another one of these?"
Wow. Just realized how 2012 had me bawling my eyes out for almost every character that died. Just the intensity of knowing that anyone could die at any moment and there was Nothing they could do about it. Dang
My biggest problem with this movie was that I never felt human kind actually dying. Only 7 characters died on screen. If you are doing a disaster movie, people need to see and be scared of the amount of destruction that is going to happen.
Facts. When the tsunami arrives i was wondering what unique approach would they take to set the movie apart from other disaster movies like maybe add sharks in the water or something, but we got non. Literally 0 dead bodies shown. And all the characters survive the mega tsunami by just going to the higher floor lmao
if you have seen War of the World, this is so pale in comparison... those alien red spray and vines are made from human's blood, and then shows the whole world being red, now figure it for yourself audience. Smart move~ Edit: Oh yeah, then there's laser zap human into dust next to the main character when running, that's intense.
@jaxon perez Actually seeing people suffer and having to imagine it are two very different things and if you’re making a cheesy disaster movie then you should not be doing the latter.
You were WAY to nice on this failure. One of the other major failures, among many others, is that the science behind many of the moon's effect on earth are so painfully wrong that any high school educated person knows that it's bullshit. Example 1: Moon will rip away atmosphere in mountains: gravity doesn't discriminate between oxygen and the rest of the atmosphere. ALL of it would thin out, meaning you would need a space suit to survive. Example 2: Gravity from the moon is shown visibly lifting cars into the air, but if you run fast enough and hide in a wood barn you won't get lifted into the air?? Riiiiiight... (One thing Roland Emmerich has been consistently a failure at in all his films, successful or not, is basic Science. Luckily, in some of his past films this was so minor you could overlook it, but in this one it was much more important and his lack of understanding really showed.)
Okay but uh... it's called suspension of disbelief. I'm not saying the movie is good, but going after a film about evil aliens and the moon plummeting to earth for being unrealistic might not be the best idea. In films, there's this idea called suspension of disbelief, which is basically that you have to draw lines around where you're gonna obey real world logic, and where you expect the audience to understand you taking creative liberties with real world logic, such as the real world science of the moon falling to the earth. The movie expects the audience to be able to suspend their disbelief the same way star wars expects you to be able to believe that there could be laser swords and wizards who can make objects float because of little creatures in their blood. It's not a "major failure" of the movie, it's just an inherent part of filmmaking.
Plus the fact that radio towers still work, plus a white dwarf being way too big to be able to fit in the moon, plus the mass of one, plus the fact that Dyson Spheres are significantly larger than that. Honestly, it's way more than you can count.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 That’s not how suspension of disbelief works. Movies need rules for people to care about what they’re seeing. In Star Wars, it’s established that light sabers work and the Force is real. In this movie, they’re using our rules of physics, yet apply them arbitrarily. People can accept magic in a Harry Potter movie because they have established rules. But if Harry Potter defeated Voldemort by pulling out a light saber and using Force powers, people would complain. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t mean turning off your brain. That sort of thinking is why so many movies are unwatchable. Just because a movie does something doesn’t make it ok.
So a small recap: Make the monster have consequences and not overcomplicate its mechanics. Show the disaster causes issues and moves the action forward. Emotional hook should be part of the motivation for the protagonist and we need to see more of them. Actions hace consequences, show not tell and emotional motivation should be demonstrated.
To be fair my family just wanted to see a disaster movie and the moon falling from the sky sounded like a cool idea. Shame it was such a shit show of a movie, I even laugh at the very end when the movie DARES to say this movie would get a sequel. Like HELL NO.
Just like with how Geostorm failed, I think brining in a malicious entity as the primary cause of the disaster cheapens it. One of the horrifying aspects of these sorts of stories is that the disasters just happen as a part of nature. No evil villain or monster is making it happen. It's just the world screwing us over, and we can do very little to stop it. Making it the work of a villain or monster means that you can punch them in the face to solve the problem. You can't really punch nature in the face.
I maintain that Contagion was the best disaster with no *visual* disaster. It wasn't about the spectacle, it happened rather quietly in hospitals and conference rooms and all the chaos that happened was because of humanity's response to it - and the movie did a great job of making a disaster movie very human.
@@charlespuruncajas9663 In 'Greenland' the movie, there are few slow-paced scenes, but the rest of them are running, chasing, and avoiding. Greenland does a decent job, just like 2012. Unlike this Moonfall, where the characters are acting lazily in a disaster movie.
Contagion was definitely a great movie, but I feel like it’s not really fair to compare a movie like this to a movie like that. Yes, they’re both disaster movies, but they aren’t the same “genre” of disaster. Disaster via disease and disaster via monster/geo/space/event have vastly different requirements. Contagion didn’t show visual disasters like this movie because there literally weren’t any to show, not because they chose to. The only scenes you can show in disease disaster movies are human panic, there is no spectacle. Where-areas, event disaster movies like 2012 or Moonfall are required to have visual disaster and spectacle. Haha, doesn’t help this movies standing at all, just wanted to point that out.
Not the same type of movie, but remember how in Nope we know Jean jacket is an alien predator that you can’t look in the eye and that’s it. It remained creepy while giving us enough we needed to know about it
If you asked me what the best movie of all time was id say moonfall. If you asked me what the worst movie of all time was id say moonfall. This movie is a bold step forward for cinema in a way never truly done before. This movie is astounding in its ridiculousness. It pushes new boundaries in asking what will a movie go’er accept. It doesn’t have time to ask questions about “science” or “logic” or even basic character development. It is bad in a way I’ve never seen before and I loved every single second of it. Im so sad we wont get to see a moonfall 2.
Haven't seen the movie but it looked like pieces of the falling moon were drawing things up, as if gravity drew you from the surface of the larger object to a distant smaller object...
@@VladOS_Ur He did the exact same thing in Independence Day 2, however I think he did it better there as that film while weak in story had good disaster moments.
My father & I watched this together, and we both have a strong physics background... we couldn't stop laughing at the physics, decisions, & dialogue in this movie
Tbf, that’s just a science fiction take on tidal force changing as the moon gets closer to earth. It’s not really that ridiculous in a science fiction film. There is science its based on, it just takes it to an unrealistic extreme which, yeah, is what science fiction does.
I went into this movie on opening night thinking it would be a genuinely competent disaster movie to rival 2012 or Armageddon. I used up a whole $50 AMC gift card for that film...
And lets not forget how many scientific fallacies are in this movie. Just for a start, the entire white dwarf the moon is built around realistically would have a minimum size of at least the Earth, plus a white dwarf has tons more mass than the Earth. On top of that, Dyson Spheres are also significantly bigger by default. And then there's the fact that phones and other ways of contact still work despite them usually going down as one of the first thing in such a disaster. The list goes on.
The funny thing is this is mostly independently funded. The studios aren't entirely at fault here. And after a bombing of this caliber on that kind of money, I'm wondering how Roland will convince funding for his next feature. Now this is gonna scare off independent funders from him too.
I watched this movie one time, forgot everything by the morning (to be faire i was drunk). the second time (sober) i still forgot everything the next day. First time it happens to me from watching a movie, and I've watched forgettable movies before
I wish I watched this movie drunk. Maybe I wouldn't have hated it. I even wanted to leave in the middle of the movie, I only stayed because of my family.
My parents dragged me to this movie because they thought it was something else. I spent the entire run time roasting the shit out of it. This is probably one of the worst films I've seen in a theater.
This movie was a guilty pleasure of mine, but I fully acknowledge all the movies faults and short-comings. I thought that Greenland did this much better. I'm not saying that it was a masterpiece, but the family aspect of that movie was much more compelling and engaging than this.
Whereas for me Greenland was soured by the focus on the family stuff, haha! I wanted more CGI schlock and sludge, less familial tears and fears especially since the characters were unlikeable (as are they often are in Emmerich flicks this side of 2000). Both Greenland and the movie of subject exemplify the same issue: Emmerich seems to have missed why we tune in to his disaster fests. McDonald's needs not serve steak. We want the paper-thin Big Mac and mystery meat nuggets with the cardboard fries.
@@blueberry01120 Well, I think it could be argued Greenland, although in the same genre, was trying to be a more serious movie. It was basically trying to be a more dramatic 2012.
i personally really liked this movie but that's probably cuz i don't really care about how good character development or story is, etc. if it's good, just another plus, if not, i don't notice and enjoy the movie anyway. but that's definitely just me.
Watched this with my dad earlier this week. He really likes it, me not so much. Probably my main issue is the main character - the British guy. I never managed to find a reason to like him, he constantly found a way to irritate me. And as a brit myself I tend to lean towards them, but that never happened. In fact, when he sacrificed himself I went "hah good" because I didnt like him enough to want him to live- a little cold but the truth. It was easy short term entertainment, but really confusing and become boring over time.
I remember a novel called Moonfall. In that novel, the Moon actually finished falling (as large chunks, with widespread ruin), and it was not - as far as I know - anything to do with an alien AI or anything like that. I had hoped, for all its badness, that this film would be the film of that book, and that I could at least seek it out to watch it and compare it to the book. However, it looks as though the only thing they have in common is the title.
well, it's not like it can physically fall into Earth, it would turn into a ring around the earth and periodically some fragments would enter the atmosphere
@@Ensign_Cthulhu yeah, you're right, that's another thing that often happen in this kind of movies, even in 2012 "oh yeah, there were 12° earthquakes, but fear not, SOMEHOW africa remained intact"
To somewhat counter your point at 2:14, it’s not that humanity has gotten smarter. It’s just that we’ve seen all this stuff before and we were sick of it years ago. Now it’s just gotten sad.
"You don't wanna know about it here, but I'll tell you one thing. The MOON. It comes crashing into Earth! And what you do then? It's two brothers and I- and...and they're gonna...it's called 'Two Brothers' ...'Two Brothers'...it's just called 'Two Brothers'!"
That 10 year jump is what messed me up - I missed the text and all of a sudden his son was a teenager in prison / juvie - it makes a lot more sense now - I thought they just forgot about the small boy and he had an older son from another marriage.
When I saw the teaser of the moon about to hit Earth, I got chills. Such a dope idea. As soon as I saw another trailer for it showing off the monster, I was instantly taken out of it.
Personally, the biggest problem is the weak main characters and lack of consistent build up to the final conflict and it’s resolution. Marcus was the only character I liked and should have been the main antagonist.
I like how the Roland Emmerich disaster movies have been getting worse since the day after tomorrow (which was great). Maybe it is foreshadowing the annihilation of the film industry like a Roland Emmerich movie plot?
I just learned this movie exists. I think part of the failure is 0 marketing. With 2012 people were bombed with advertising. It's a big factor for going to the movies.
2012 also had the actual date coming up and so on that helped with the hype where as moonfall was it's own thing. I also enjoyed the humans in 2012 more than the ones in moonfall which felt bland, boring and insufferable. When they're in the interior of the moon and they cut back to the family fighting over gas I genuinely said "wtf" in the theatre. We're seeing THE INSIDE OF THE MOON and you're cutting away to show us a car chase???
the idea to make the hollow moon conspiracy theory and advanced ancient civilization concept into a movie was pretty interesting and got me excited to see it but for me it was wasted potential. Some cgi scenes were good but thats it
I mean they could have made an awesome movie or even trilogy based on these concepts. Yet the plot was so poorly written and also threw "the machines took over" in there which was overkill. The movie, especially the reveal that it was an ancient advanced civilization who built it, wasn't made very believable. It seemed almost like during filming they quickly changed it from aliens to ancient humans
Aside from the story itself, my biggest gripe I couldn’t get over was the total lack of chemistry between *any* of the leads… I truly didn’t care about their success or failure
I wish you called this video: Moonfall - How to fail at 2012. Because this movie reminded me of 2012, where it has this end of the world schlock, full of CGI disaster moments, qwerky characters that can always cheat death, kinda combines real life moments with its own fictional story and more along that I can’t describe. Not only that but I’m curious on your opinion of 2012. Is it good, bad, a bit of both? For me, I still love it.
2012 did a lot right where this movie fails The side characters where shity Version of the side characters in 2012, i think the new husband of the alkoholic loser dad had the same name, and he also died. It was the 2012 skript with new cgi +spaceshipmoon
@13:15 Love that I'm not the only one to notice the random Chinese nanny just FORCED into this movie just because the Chinese helped fund it. Her entire character could have been scrubbed from the movie, and it would change NOTHING.
Even if we detonated *ALL the nukes EVER,* we couldn't nudge the Moon *an inch.* So how can one monster move it? Ok, so the movie acknowledged the Roche Limit and then ignored it. Those effects with "atmosphere stripping" and "gravity screwing" wouldn't happen. The Moon would be CHUNKS before that point Hollow or not.
Who cares? Who cared how many blows a real life Rocky could take before fainting, who cares where Hulk gets his additional mass from or how Cap America's pants managed to grow with him? Who ever understood the economics of Harry Potter or wondered where the cinetic energy in John Wick goes to when his bulletproof suit saves him from being perforated? I would never go into a movie that's realistic, not even if it's about a boy and a girl falling in love ...
“It’s better to make your audience think your movie is interesting instead of explaining to them that it’s not“😂😂😂 I love this guy and his way with words.
12:54 Hey, Samwell Tarly appears! Summary of Filmento advice: If you have an A, it should lead to a B. And if there is a B, it should first be caused by an A.
2012: "California is fucking exploding. We must leave." Moonfall: "The moon caused a wee flood that ruined the carpet in the hotel lobby. Okay nap time."
Another aspect of the plot that was so cringe is Halle Berry's ex husband taking the gun in the bunker and talking about how much he trusts her, whereas throughout the entire movie, nothing in their relationship showed that kind of trust. I rolled my eyes at that scene.
My only question to the movie is: why it waited for more then 11 years to atack? It was waiting for other monsters? No. Doing something to "hack" the Moon? Maybe, we don't know. My guess this gap was in the movie to just separate mains hero family, to use the same cliche over and over again
@@nachomartinez8978 thanks for explaining it, it's fairly obvious it has problems with the hull of the hanger, and when you look at their decent into the moon the metal looking layer is *VERY* thick to say the least not forget the fact it's a small swarm of nano-robots.
For me it was only marketing, if it was marketed as "so bad and absurd but it is so fun" it could've gone better because I had a blast watching it and laughing
it's just soooo hilarious everyone at mission control is seeing crew get obliterated by the tentacles but it's just OHH NOOO anyway back to looking at my screens, and time for main characters monologue about AI
Well ,all the things you mentioned in the video (and usually mention about bad films) , they're fine and all, but the weird part is that i already thaught it'd be a horrible film for some reason, and this is a recurring theme,
In defence of the "Disaster only in the background news" - when it works it works great, like in the "day after" movie you can watch the plot in the foreground (a happy life), or you can pay attention to the background political crisis heading into nuclear exchange.

At no point in chasing the little shuttle at the end of the movie does the nanocloud realize it is a CLOUD that could break apart and attack from multiple directions, instead it just continues to chase it as a big single piece.

You're implying that the writers were using any kind of basic intelligence when they came up with this idea.
The weird thing is that 2012 (2009) feels like a bigger more extravaganza disaster movie version of The Day After Tomorrow (2004) (which was basically the blueprint to 2012 (2009)). And now we got Moonfall (2022) which tries to out do 2012 (2009). That's not happening.
i'll be honest... i liked it more then i liked 2012... but that's probably just my shit opinion.

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie in theaters while waiting to watch spiderman no way home and instantly thinking "wow that looks horrible"
I was literally about to comment something very similar. I think I saw one of the first trailers for this right before seeing the 1st Sonic Movie or Spider-Man: Far from Home & the instant I saw the trailer I rolled my eyes & said something along the lines of "Oh geez, another one of these?"
The premise intrigued me enough to buy me and my buddy a ticket, despite the horrible trailer.
That's money I'll never get back.
Lol I saw the trailer while watching NWH too but I was intrigued by it
Well at least the trailer did its job properly... As it warn us about how bad this movie was
Funny thing is: I thought the same about No Way Home ...
Wow. Just realized how 2012 had me bawling my eyes out for almost every character that died. Just the intensity of knowing that anyone could die at any moment and there was Nothing they could do about it. Dang
That little kid giving the exposition dump had me laughing so hard
Alot of people say they want mindless fun movies where you can turn off your brain.
And when they get them they start analyzing the shit out of them.
My biggest problem with this movie was that I never felt human kind actually dying. Only 7 characters died on screen. If you are doing a disaster movie, people need to see and be scared of the amount of destruction that is going to happen.
Facts. When the tsunami arrives i was wondering what unique approach would they take to set the movie apart from other disaster movies like maybe add sharks in the water or something, but we got non. Literally 0 dead bodies shown. And all the characters survive the mega tsunami by just going to the higher floor lmao
if you have seen War of the World, this is so pale in comparison... those alien red spray and vines are made from human's blood, and then shows the whole world being red, now figure it for yourself audience. Smart move~
Edit: Oh yeah, then there's laser zap human into dust next to the main character when running, that's intense.
@jaxon perez Bro how many people did you see dying in New York? That’s my point
@jaxon perez Actually seeing people suffer and having to imagine it are two very different things and if you’re making a cheesy disaster movie then you should not be doing the latter.
@@hatefulgaming1800 well said my brother
The part that cracked me up was, super advanced humans, who built AI swarm drones, built moons and stuff but couldn't build an EMP.
It gets EVEN better. Apparently, they can UPGRADE that EMP, but can't build it! WTF! XD
You were WAY to nice on this failure. One of the other major failures, among many others, is that the science behind many of the moon's effect on earth are so painfully wrong that any high school educated person knows that it's bullshit. Example 1: Moon will rip away atmosphere in mountains: gravity doesn't discriminate between oxygen and the rest of the atmosphere. ALL of it would thin out, meaning you would need a space suit to survive. Example 2: Gravity from the moon is shown visibly lifting cars into the air, but if you run fast enough and hide in a wood barn you won't get lifted into the air?? Riiiiiight... (One thing Roland Emmerich has been consistently a failure at in all his films, successful or not, is basic Science. Luckily, in some of his past films this was so minor you could overlook it, but in this one it was much more important and his lack of understanding really showed.)
Yes but he's comparing it to 2012
You should watch The Wandering Earth.
Okay but uh... it's called suspension of disbelief. I'm not saying the movie is good, but going after a film about evil aliens and the moon plummeting to earth for being unrealistic might not be the best idea. In films, there's this idea called suspension of disbelief, which is basically that you have to draw lines around where you're gonna obey real world logic, and where you expect the audience to understand you taking creative liberties with real world logic, such as the real world science of the moon falling to the earth.
The movie expects the audience to be able to suspend their disbelief the same way star wars expects you to be able to believe that there could be laser swords and wizards who can make objects float because of little creatures in their blood. It's not a "major failure" of the movie, it's just an inherent part of filmmaking.
Plus the fact that radio towers still work, plus a white dwarf being way too big to be able to fit in the moon, plus the mass of one, plus the fact that Dyson Spheres are significantly larger than that. Honestly, it's way more than you can count.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 That’s not how suspension of disbelief works. Movies need rules for people to care about what they’re seeing. In Star Wars, it’s established that light sabers work and the Force is real. In this movie, they’re using our rules of physics, yet apply them arbitrarily.
People can accept magic in a Harry Potter movie because they have established rules. But if Harry Potter defeated Voldemort by pulling out a light saber and using Force powers, people would complain. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t mean turning off your brain. That sort of thinking is why so many movies are unwatchable. Just because a movie does something doesn’t make it ok.
So a small recap:
Make the monster have consequences and not overcomplicate its mechanics.
Show the disaster causes issues and moves the action forward.
Emotional hook should be part of the motivation for the protagonist and we need to see more of them.
Actions hace consequences, show not tell and emotional motivation should be demonstrated.
summary: just make a Majora's Mask movie
"Emotional hook should be part of the motivation for the protagonist and we need to see more of them."
No.
Work at a theater and a lot of guests said they were excited for this movie and all I had to say was, "...Why...?"
I mean an artificial moon coming to destroy Earth. It’s a pretty cool concept to try check out.
To be fair my family just wanted to see a disaster movie and the moon falling from the sky sounded like a cool idea.
Shame it was such a shit show of a movie, I even laugh at the very end when the movie DARES to say this movie would get a sequel.
Like HELL NO.

@@NcrXnbi Like do they get to watch new movies for free??
Just like with how Geostorm failed, I think brining in a malicious entity as the primary cause of the disaster cheapens it. One of the horrifying aspects of these sorts of stories is that the disasters just happen as a part of nature. No evil villain or monster is making it happen. It's just the world screwing us over, and we can do very little to stop it. Making it the work of a villain or monster means that you can punch them in the face to solve the problem. You can't really punch nature in the face.
We punch nature in the face everyday though 😂
@@TheRealRunningwolf1980 that we do. We could probably punch nature a bit less though. Just a bit.

I love how the step dead just dropped dead. "you know this beat, let's not waste time on it"
I maintain that Contagion was the best disaster with no *visual* disaster. It wasn't about the spectacle, it happened rather quietly in hospitals and conference rooms and all the chaos that happened was because of humanity's response to it - and the movie did a great job of making a disaster movie very human.
You gotta see Greenland (starring Gerard Butler) then
The original Andromeda Strain is a good example of this.
@@charlespuruncajas9663 In 'Greenland' the movie, there are few slow-paced scenes, but the rest of them are running, chasing, and avoiding.
Greenland does a decent job, just like 2012.
Unlike this Moonfall, where the characters are acting lazily in a disaster movie.
Contagion was definitely a great movie, but I feel like it’s not really fair to compare a movie like this to a movie like that. Yes, they’re both disaster movies, but they aren’t the same “genre” of disaster. Disaster via disease and disaster via monster/geo/space/event have vastly different requirements. Contagion didn’t show visual disasters like this movie because there literally weren’t any to show, not because they chose to. The only scenes you can show in disease disaster movies are human panic, there is no spectacle. Where-areas, event disaster movies like 2012 or Moonfall are required to have visual disaster and spectacle.
Haha, doesn’t help this movies standing at all, just wanted to point that out.
I feel like geostorm is much better
Not the same type of movie, but remember how in Nope we know Jean jacket is an alien predator that you can’t look in the eye and that’s it. It remained creepy while giving us enough we needed to know about it
If you asked me what the best movie of all time was id say moonfall. If you asked me what the worst movie of all time was id say moonfall. This movie is a bold step forward for cinema in a way never truly done before. This movie is astounding in its ridiculousness. It pushes new boundaries in asking what will a movie go’er accept. It doesn’t have time to ask questions about “science” or “logic” or even basic character development. It is bad in a way I’ve never seen before and I loved every single second of it. Im so sad we wont get to see a moonfall 2.
exactly. This movie will have an impact for decades.

Haven't seen the movie but it looked like pieces of the falling moon were drawing things up, as if gravity drew you from the surface of the larger object to a distant smaller object...
Oops! : D
Yep, this how gravity works in last Emmerich films.
@@VladOS_Ur He did the exact same thing in Independence Day 2, however I think he did it better there as that film while weak in story had good disaster moments.
My father & I watched this together, and we both have a strong physics background... we couldn't stop laughing at the physics, decisions, & dialogue in this movie
Tbf, that’s just a science fiction take on tidal force changing as the moon gets closer to earth. It’s not really that ridiculous in a science fiction film. There is science its based on, it just takes it to an unrealistic extreme which, yeah, is what science fiction does.
I went into this movie on opening night thinking it would be a genuinely competent disaster movie to rival 2012 or Armageddon. I used up a whole $50 AMC gift card for that film...
And lets not forget how many scientific fallacies are in this movie. Just for a start, the entire white dwarf the moon is built around realistically would have a minimum size of at least the Earth, plus a white dwarf has tons more mass than the Earth. On top of that, Dyson Spheres are also significantly bigger by default. And then there's the fact that phones and other ways of contact still work despite them usually going down as one of the first thing in such a disaster. The list goes on.
And how the moon made the earth is what confused me

My parents dragged me to this movie because they thought it was something else. I spent the entire run time roasting the shit out of it. This is probably one of the worst films I've seen in a theater.
I did the same and even laugh at the end when the movie dares to imply there would be a sequel to this shit show.
Sometimes the most fun part of a movie is poking fun at it.
What did they think it was? An adaptation of this novel?

My "favorite" part was at the end when the movie teased a sequel. (Sarcasm)
The greatest failure of this movie was not having a single Majora's Mask reference in it.
pretty much the only complaint i had about this movie.
I think the problem was that the movie couldn't marry the alien AI and the moon apocalypse together, making the movie feel disjointed
This movie was a guilty pleasure of mine, but I fully acknowledge all the movies faults and short-comings. I thought that Greenland did this much better. I'm not saying that it was a masterpiece, but the family aspect of that movie was much more compelling and engaging than this.
This movie was basically Greenland, except Greenland was way better
Whereas for me Greenland was soured by the focus on the family stuff, haha! I wanted more CGI schlock and sludge, less familial tears and fears especially since the characters were unlikeable (as are they often are in Emmerich flicks this side of 2000). Both Greenland and the movie of subject exemplify the same issue: Emmerich seems to have missed why we tune in to his disaster fests. McDonald's needs not serve steak. We want the paper-thin Big Mac and mystery meat nuggets with the cardboard fries.
@@blueberry01120 Well, I think it could be argued Greenland, although in the same genre, was trying to be a more serious movie. It was basically trying to be a more dramatic 2012.
i personally really liked this movie but that's probably cuz i don't really care about how good character development or story is, etc. if it's good, just another plus, if not, i don't notice and enjoy the movie anyway. but that's definitely just me.
Greenland was absolutely fantastic to me, as it builds on its characters soo much. And it creates tension and limited time before the event happens.
8:04 No Mark Zuccerberg reference has ever failed to make me laugh so far xD
Watched this with my dad earlier this week. He really likes it, me not so much. Probably my main issue is the main character - the British guy. I never managed to find a reason to like him, he constantly found a way to irritate me. And as a brit myself I tend to lean towards them, but that never happened. In fact, when he sacrificed himself I went "hah good" because I didnt like him enough to want him to live- a little cold but the truth. It was easy short term entertainment, but really confusing and become boring over time.
Who's the British guy again?
@@henrintibu John Bradley from Game of Thrones. I thought it was Josh Gad in the trailers.

I remember a novel called Moonfall. In that novel, the Moon actually finished falling (as large chunks, with widespread ruin), and it was not - as far as I know - anything to do with an alien AI or anything like that.
I had hoped, for all its badness, that this film would be the film of that book, and that I could at least seek it out to watch it and compare it to the book. However, it looks as though the only thing they have in common is the title.
Was it by Jack McDevitt?
@@easolinas1233 Yes, I think so.
well, it's not like it can physically fall into Earth, it would turn into a ring around the earth and periodically some fragments would enter the atmosphere

To somewhat counter your point at 2:14, it’s not that humanity has gotten smarter. It’s just that we’ve seen all this stuff before and we were sick of it years ago.

It’s fascinating to think that 2012 and Moonfall were both made by Roland Emmerich, yet the quality is vastly different.

The film is so fast and jumpy at the beginning and i thought the film was gonna end WAY before it actually did
"You don't wanna know about it here, but I'll tell you one thing. The MOON. It comes crashing into Earth! And what you do then? It's two brothers and I- and...and they're gonna...it's called 'Two Brothers' ...'Two Brothers'...it's just called 'Two Brothers'!"

James Bond makes Skies Fall and Rakes Moons, but seemingly doesn't make Moon Falls.
The Martian: 😬 "I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this!"
Roland Emmerich: 🤗 "I'm totaly NOT gonna science the shit out of it!"
That 10 year jump is what messed me up - I missed the text and all of a sudden his son was a teenager in prison / juvie - it makes a lot more sense now - I thought they just forgot about the small boy and he had an older son from another marriage.
When I saw the teaser of the moon about to hit Earth, I got chills. Such a dope idea. As soon as I saw another trailer for it showing off the monster, I was instantly taken out of it.
Personally, the biggest problem is the weak main characters and lack of consistent build up to the final conflict and it’s resolution. Marcus was the only character I liked and should have been the main antagonist.
Too bad that guy got killed like 4 minutes into the movie
Protagonist?
ITS BRILLIANT THAT YOU PUT THE SPONSOR AT THE END.. INSTEAD OF THE BEGINNING.. I HAVE MORE INSENTIVE TO LISTEN.
I like how the Roland Emmerich disaster movies have been getting worse since the day after tomorrow (which was great). Maybe it is foreshadowing the annihilation of the film industry like a Roland Emmerich movie plot?
I just learned this movie exists. I think part of the failure is 0 marketing. With 2012 people were bombed with advertising. It's a big factor for going to the movies.
2012 also had the actual date coming up and so on that helped with the hype where as moonfall was it's own thing. I also enjoyed the humans in 2012 more than the ones in moonfall which felt bland, boring and insufferable. When they're in the interior of the moon and they cut back to the family fighting over gas I genuinely said "wtf" in the theatre. We're seeing THE INSIDE OF THE MOON and you're cutting away to show us a car chase???
Indeed! The 'Mayan prophecy of the end of the world' did a fantastic job advertising the film. ;)
Honestly Charlie in 2012 was way more likable than anyone in Moonfall.
I didn't even know this movie existed before watching this video. I'm happy about that.
So, there's a scene in which an astronaut talks with a simulation of a kid about an AI that wants to kill humanity...
...YOU CANNOT STOP US, SHEPARD!
I was so disappointed this wasn't a Majora's Mask live action film.
the idea to make the hollow moon conspiracy theory and advanced ancient civilization concept into a movie was pretty interesting and got me excited to see it but for me it was wasted potential. Some cgi scenes were good but thats it
Check out Iron Sky and it's sequel
The moment it started talking about the ancient civilization to the main character was where it made me laugh cause of how stupid it was.
It still is very illgical
@@Hanmacx I know Iron Sky, disappointed me a bit
I mean they could have made an awesome movie or even trilogy based on these concepts. Yet the plot was so poorly written and also threw "the machines took over" in there which was overkill. The movie, especially the reveal that it was an ancient advanced civilization who built it, wasn't made very believable. It seemed almost like during filming they quickly changed it from aliens to ancient humans
Aside from the story itself, my biggest gripe I couldn’t get over was the total lack of chemistry between *any* of the leads… I truly didn’t care about their success or failure
I wish you called this video: Moonfall - How to fail at 2012. Because this movie reminded me of 2012, where it has this end of the world schlock, full of CGI disaster moments, qwerky characters that can always cheat death, kinda combines real life moments with its own fictional story and more along that I can’t describe. Not only that but I’m curious on your opinion of 2012. Is it good, bad, a bit of both? For me, I still love it.
2012 did a lot right where this movie fails
The side characters where shity Version of the side characters in 2012, i think the new husband of the alkoholic loser dad had the same name, and he also died.
It was the 2012 skript with new cgi +spaceshipmoon
Its a good bad movie
You can cheat death except if you are the new love interest of the main character´s ex wife.

Even if we detonated *ALL the nukes EVER,* we couldn't nudge the Moon *an inch.* So how can one monster move it?
Ok, so the movie acknowledged the Roche Limit and then ignored it. Those effects with "atmosphere stripping" and "gravity screwing" wouldn't happen. The Moon would be CHUNKS before that point Hollow or not.
Yeah. Kurzgesagt channel described everything that would happen if magically the moon starts falling
@@ashikanwar8130 don’t you think things would happen differently since in this movie the moon is a megastructure? Built by super advance technology?

Who ever understood the economics of Harry Potter or wondered where the cinetic energy in John Wick goes to when his bulletproof suit saves him from being perforated?

Moonfall: "The moon caused a wee flood that ruined the carpet in the hotel lobby. Okay nap time."
2012 wasn't a good movie, but it was actually a movie. Moonfall seems like something created by a machine.
Another aspect of the plot that was so cringe is Halle Berry's ex husband taking the gun in the bunker and talking about how much he trusts her, whereas throughout the entire movie, nothing in their relationship showed that kind of trust. I rolled my eyes at that scene.
When a minecraft server does a moon based apocalypse better then a 140 million dollar movie, that's just sad

I want more.
Independence Day is really Roland’s only great movie, and he’s been trying to replicate it’s success ever since, with increasingly bad results.
Halle Berry “ I’m not even going to put on makeup for this role”
My only question to the movie is: why it waited for more then 11 years to atack? It was waiting for other monsters? No. Doing something to "hack" the Moon? Maybe, we don't know. My guess this gap was in the movie to just separate mains hero family, to use the same cliche over and over again
I think it was mentioned in passing that it took the thing a while to tunnel through the moon to get to the core, I think it was said at one point
@@nachomartinez8978 thanks for explaining it, it's fairly obvious it has problems with the hull of the hanger, and when you look at their decent into the moon the metal looking layer is *VERY* thick to say the least not forget the fact it's a small swarm of nano-robots.

In defence of the "Disaster only in the background news" - when it works it works great, like in the "day after" movie you can watch the plot in the foreground (a happy life), or you can pay attention to the background political crisis heading into nuclear exchange.
