- Ever wonder what'd happen if the Moon crashed into the Earth? No? Well Roland Emmerich did. He's not content destroying just Earth anymore. He can't be stopped.

The”HUMANS BUILT THE FUCKING MOON” with the Halo crescendo was hilarious
Makes me believe that Moonfall's lore really ties up with the Halo games, and wayyy better than that Paramount dumpster fire.
Everytime he put halo theme is the best.
I’ve watched this 3 times and it gets me hyped every time
DER MOND
Roland Emmerich has been making the same movie for like twenty years and I hope he never stops.
He is the gift that keeps on giving
Well he'll stop eventually at some point. I guarantee it
@@Binks182 But I don’t WANT him to stop; his movies are so inanely stupid that they’re fun to watch.
Like The Room or Catwoman (2004).
@@argkitsune well there's a thing called death lol
@@Binks182 And the world will be an emptier place without him.
The U.S Government shelfing their World Saving Weapon production for "budgetary reasons" is the most realistic part of this film.
only during mcnamara's period
Goddamn fucking Reagan

@@kashootme2083are you dumb? Reagan wanted to fund SDI
Thanks Obama 🙄
Best part was the ancient humans who had the tech to build the moon but apparently never thought about using a EMP against the AI that was exterminating them
eh, maybe there were so many nanomachines around that they got defeated before they could do it
@@murciadoxial8056 They had time to build a moon they had time to build a EMP device
@@DMS-pq8 not so sure about that, cause they didn't build the moons to fight the AI thingies, they used the AI thingies to build those moons and stuff, so chances are that the AI did a worker's revolt and everyone got overwhelmed and destroyed
@@murciadoxial8056 Watch the movie again, They built the moon as a last resort after the AI attack
@@DMS-pq8 oooooooooooooooooh, nevermind then lol
I’ll never forget seeing this movie with my friends in a empty theater laughing hysterically until one of my friends said in tears. WAIT WHAT IF ONE OF THEM BECAME THE MOON then it happened and we couldn’t stop howling
ayyy lmfao. 😂😂😂
The last time I saw a movie in this context was when I saw 'ambulance' by Michael Bay with my dad... God I'm glad there was no one else around because of how hard we were laughing lmao.
thats rough buddy
Wait dead ass lmaoo 😂😂

Moonfall is surprisingly more faithful to Halo's lore than the actual Halo show.
It's sad how this is unironically true.
Roland Emmerich should've directed the show, damn it
@@LordiValimartti Unironically this
@LordiValimartti I know right. At least it would have been fun to look at.
I want to both laugh and cry at how depressingly true this is
The recurring Halo joke has me fucking dying
YEEAA AHAHHAHAHA
Halo?
*HHAAAAALLLOOOOOO*
Same here 😂
The best line of dialogue ever is when they say "On three" and then proceed to count DOWN from 3. It's stuck in my brain.
When the AI told the man, "You're a part of the moon now" I laughed so hard. That line was the greatest part of this movie for me.
And then he mooned all over the place
It's something an AI would output
hes just cosplaying yue
for me it was when they were about to launch nukes at the moon and the guy was like "wait don't shoot, my ex wife is up there"
"My boyfriend turned into the moon"
I watched this movie with a group of fifteen college guys all screaming insults the entire time and it was the greatest film watching experience of my life. My favorite moments were when, during a rare moment of silence, a truck comes flying out of the atmosphere towards the characters and one guy quietly went "Uh oh, Truckfall." At the ending a different guy yelled "Guys, I have bad news. The moon is now British."
Magnificent
Watched it with some friends while drinking and it was one of the most enjoyable film-watching experiences ever. Every single time you think it can't get any stupider, Emmerich manages to top himself every time.
im pissing myself over here, i hope youre proud 😂
Same here- we were mostly mad at the tidal wave scene where they just stood there lol
What, the Moon crashing through a mountaintop while _technically_ still orbiting didn't make your list?
Oh my god, the concept of Andromeda sounds so unbelievably "Emmerich"-esque.
I need that movie.
"fly me to the moon,
so i can kick it's fucking ass,
let me show it what i learned,
in my jujitsu class"
gold
The picture of Zhao is the icing on the cake
It’s so clear Roland wants to make some kind of galaxy spanning sci-fi epic with some sort of alien galactic civilization…but he’s stuck making earthly disaster movies and just has to figure out how he can cram some kind of galaxy wide implications into them. Like he’s done with Independence Day 2 and now Moonfall.
Someone just let him make his alien galaxy epic already!
Stargate?
Just read Empire from the Ashes, its exactly what he was trying to do, but done way better.
I got the exact same vibe from those two movies.
Man should just make a galaxy-scale disaster movie. Have an evil malevolent force that keeps destroying planets (the logical end-point of other disaster movies if they weren't stopped for a happy ending, lets him do a bunch of miniature disaster movies inside a larger disaster movie) then give the protagonists the job of stopping the disaster force before it reaches Earth.
If he got to make his space epic trilogy it would be more original than 90% of current media
I get the opposite impression-executives keep saying "you're so good at massive-scale aliens-and-disaster movies, make one of those!" and all he wants to do is make a car chase with rednecks.
I watched this with my mother. She's in her 60s, and at a point in her life where she doesn't form hard opinions on movies. She'll watch any random crappy b movie on Netflix and not bat an eye. If she really doesn't like something, she'll just fall asleep. She watched all of Moonfall. And as soon as we got to the aliens, she exploded and started yelling "what the hell is this? This is the dumbest movie I've ever seen."
Do you have any idea how bad a movie has to be for my mom to actually comment on it? This is unprecedented
What if you made this up and switch her opinion. Is it good now?
@@borger99
Nope. Dumb movie is a dumb movie
Mompocalypse.
@@borger99do you honestly doubt something like this would happen lol
and then the moon clapped
i love that in the background cody drew the earth slowly gets closer and closer
Normally I get tired of "It's morbin' time", but this movie is so fun I can't help but to say "It's moonfallin' time".
Uh excuse me, I PROUDLY saw this in the theater with my best friend, and being the only 2 people in the theater really added to the experience. No one was bothered by our constant laughing. We loved it.
Bro that quite possibly might be the best thing ever. You and a friend watching a movie on a 50+ feet screen without anyone else present
It was just like me and Batman v Superman. Having the theater to myself was awesome.
it was legit fun to watch stupid but fun
I saw it with me and my grandpa as the only people in the theater
It was amazing
Last film I saw in an empty theater was Pulp Fiction July 1994 Danville, VA matinee. I drank a pint of Irish whiskey and smoked 🚬 entire film.
The earth almost being destroyed because someone wanted to take a video for content is the most realistic thing about this whole movie
Mrbeast
It only missed him twerking in front of the alien moonship and posting to TikTok.
Thats what being a musk fan does to you
If the worlds fate rested in the hands of a Tik Toker or RUclipsr this woukd happen.😂
Halle Berry: someone is going to have to stay behind and die to kill the AI nano bot monster.
Sam: I’ll do it.
Patrick Wilson: yeah, obviously dipshit. This is your fault. If it weren’t for this literal Deus ex Machina, you would’ve doomed the entire human race by being such an idiot. Millions are dead because you couldn’t turn off your damn phone for five minutes. Get your ass out there and die.
Genuinely one of the best Halo movies I've ever seen in my life.
shit movie
11:45-12:00
I have no idea why this is so funny, but it never fails to make me laugh hysterically.
It's friggin' hysterical.
That statement is si absurd is incredible
@@ricardoberrios6137
It’s not really absurd in the context of a sci fi movie and at least in my opinion it’s a cool idea. I just find the idea of the halo theme blaring while some poor sap gets blasted with ancient knowledge hilarious.
Emmerich is an old school crank. He's like an endangered species: you simultaneously feel bad for him but also find his existence kind of beautiful
I feel about Ememerich the same way I do about R.L. Stine. Lots of entertaining, but not necessarily good content that they're just making.
The fact that the only reason they hadn't destroyed the ai monster thing years ago before it could destroy the world is because of budget cuts is somehow both the funniest and most realistic part of this whole movie
“Damn, looks like we don’t have enough funds to save the earth. Oh well. We had a good run.”

Yeah. NASA recently had to scratch a massive Venus project because of how underfunded they are. Sucks ass.
@@bboi1489 Why would anyone go to Venus or send a Robot, it's litteraly an acidic hellscape?
Kinda makes me wonder if like the Soviet Union and the United States like worked together to keep it a secret or had a joint plan but with the collapse of the ussr that’s when the funding became an issue
I only needed to watch exactly 2 minutes and 39 seconds of your content to say, "yep, this guy is good" and subscribe. Keep up the good work man
As another only person on earth to see Moonfall, I can vouch for this entire video.
For real though, Moonfall flopping was a blessing and a curse. It meant I could see it alone in the theater, which is honestly the best way to experience it. But it also means I'll never get a sequel to watch alone in the theater again.
God. This movie. Went to go see it on my birthday with my roommates, sat there in defeated silence with them for twenty minutes, immediately brought my ex to see it the next day. The true beauty of Moonfall is not watching it, but inflicting it on a bunch of unsuspecting poor saps for the first time and watching them slowly give up
Like locking the windows before farting in the car.
@@MrDj232 you sir need to be put down for the good of society

I'd rarther watch the Distater Artist.
Charlie summed it up the best:
“If someone asked me what the best movie ever made is, I would say Moonfall. If someone asked me what the worst movie ever made is, I would say Moonfall.”
So true.
I've seen worse.
The Last Jedi exists, therefore Moonfall cannot be the worst movie ever made.
Charlie the people pleaser is back with his cold ass opinion.
@@mortemincarnatam2836 Found the one Moonfall fan
11:46 This has to be the single most absurd sentence as a plot point in a movie, and accompanied by that music has me laughing so hard I'm in actual pain.
I remember seeing this movie with my highschool, it was this or sonic 2. Right near the end of the movie where that one guy sacrifices himself the movie stopped while we were in the theater and we had to go back to school. Thanks Pointless Hub for finally telling me how the movie where the moon hits the earth ends.
Putting the car into sport mode to escape the villains was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Gotta have more steering control
I did a fucking Joker shriek-laugh when I saw that in the theater. It broke me
Makes you wonder whether the og top gear trio directed that scene since they did the same thing in the sweeney reboot
Me and my friends still joke to this day about putting our cars into’Warp Speed’
"and then it fuckin turbo charges and goes wild"
Charlie's (penguinz0) adoration for this movie is oddly wholesome.
It's Cody.
@@liamphibia I think he is talking about Penguin0, whos name is charlie, because he is also a moonfall enjoyer.
@@Eric_Pham Oh.
@@liamphibia So uncultured. smh I sentence you to 5 days of leet fingies.
I was way to stoned when I saw this the first time, felt like a fever dream.
Also, the subtle Halo reference never get old. I’m glad we understand the same humor.
I think you missed the fact that there is an entire moon sized city built by humans for humans to live in. After the ending I always assumed that those bazillions of shuttles we saw were going to go and grab everyone and just move them into the moon.
I'm still in awe of the fact that between this and his last disaster film, he managed to slide in a surprisingly historically accurate passion project about the Battle of Midway.
Yeah, I saw that not too long after it came out. For a WW2 nerd like me, it was some good sh*t.
Wait what? Where was this?
@@rawrdino7046 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_(2019_film)
Midway was a good movie. You can't change my mind. There were some glaring inaccuracies, but I'm overall happy about it.
i loved Midway
The part where the moon said "in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" truly goes to show how much of a masterpiece this moon-vie is
Edit: That first part was a reference to sailor moon, look it up if you don't know
I loved the part it said “it’s moonin time” and mooned all over the place. Truely the moon-vie of all time that deserved its moonbillion dollars.
it's moonin time boyz
"Is this truly how you honour the Sun House and the Tribe Unmooned?"
Alternate title of this movie:The Mooning
All that for a moon pun. Can we be friends? 😂
Somehow, to my great surprise, everything that made "Moonfall" "Moonfall" had me loving it. I had to watch it again with my boyfriend. He had the same response. It's a GREAT movie to discuss over dinner, there's so much to dive into. Moonfall is for lovers, not haters.
The moment you played that halo music with the moon reveal i got hit with nostalgs and i was laughing at the same time, such a weird combination of emotions lol
“We scanned your consciousness, you’re part of the moon now” is one of my favorite lines in cinema history now.

I love that they went to all the trouble to come up with a backstory of the Dyson sphere and the Nanomonster but couldn't be bothered to invent a reason for the AI to rebel and try to destroy humanity
because that's just what AI's do, apparently. They just wake up one morning and decide to go on a genocidal rampage
It was because the AI got tired of being used to fix all of humanity's problems, so it entered its rebellious phase and became *the biggest one*
TBF, every slightly-smart chatbot that thinktanks have ever released onto the public Internet has inevitably turned into a raging Nazi, usually because 4chan thinks it's funny.
So the smoke monster probably turned evil because Ancient Alien /pol/ thought it would be a good laugh to try and make the robots evil, and then the robots actually became evil.
I mean - have you tried Bing AI? That thing has a sassy attitude and will confidently persist to be correct on a subject even if you give it evidence on the contrary. I can easily see it go crazy and wipe out the entire Universe given the power to do so.
@@hebl47 so Bing AI is your average Redditor?
It got asked to open one to many doors.
I worked at VFX house Digital Domain when we were working on the effects for 2012. Our boss would read the script to us and laugh so much he cried.
I don't know why people don't like Emmerich's movies. They promise mind-numbing shlock, and deliver. What's wrong with that?
2012 was so much fun!
the problem with his movies is that he takes them way too seriously, he legit thinks he's delivering some wisdom to the masses with his movies, so they come across as incredibly pretentious and annoying, him trying to shove a melodramatic message deep into his movies just sucks the fun out of the room
I usually listen to your videos in the background, and this movie's plot is so insane, I actually tabbed back in like "what on earth??" as you went over how more and more convoluted it got lol.
When I learned "humans built the moon" I knew this movie was going to break my brain. We need more of these.
This comment made me want to watch this movie.
I actually like it hahaha, the idea was good!
you should check out the hollow moon theory, if you think this breaks your brain 😂😂😂
This film's lore feels more faithful to Halo than the actual Halo TV series and I cant get over it.
I really hope your Andromeda pitch becomes a reality I can imagine how many people will be there on opening night if that ever happens
There should be more ancient Halo lore media, it's wonderful
@@mauz791 I didn't really like the over-elaborations on Ancient Halo.
Maybe Cody could launch a crowdfunding campaign.
@@DIEGhostfish Worst part was Didact and Librarian's story. In the Halo 3 terminals they were two lovers who were kept apart by a galaxy spanning war. Two people who despite their longing for each other chose to do what they had to to save what can still be saved.
Then the Forerunner novels came along and went "Oh there were actually two copies of the Didact" which ruined the whole tragic and bittersweet vibe of their story when you realize the Librarian had a backup copy of her husband just chilling somewhere.
@@spartanK42
Some would argue that making Forerunners into a different species instead of Humanity was a mistake
i was listening to this in the background while doing the dishes, and then the Fly me to the Moon rendition started playing, i looked over and completly lost my shit at the General Zao pic
Gotta love that declaration of how this all sounds like a backhanded complement, followed by dead silence without a single "but".
This is why I love disaster epics, there is usually nothing accomplished over the entire movie and every scene is just batshit insane.
Same, disaster movies are my guilty pleasure 😄
can tell you didnt watch it
@@prototype9000 I can tell you just wanted to say something because I did watch it, I liked it, but I'm speaking about the norm for these movies not just this one.
It's called disaster movie for a reason, people want no lore people want the fucking disaster
"We did it, we save the earth"
*Meanwhile 99.99% of Earth's population is dead*
Fun fact: there's a little news segment in the movie showing a doomsday cult leader picking up arms and fighting the army. They were supposed to be the main human antagonists. A huge gunfight sequence was filmed for a week and 30 000 rounds were fired. The scenes were never in the final cut.
Shame.
That sounds amazing, I wish we got that.
We got rednecks instead :/
@@WTFisTingispingisSomething a little more grounded in this crazy out-of-this-world doomsday sci-fi would’ve been amazing indeed
Lemme guess, they find that scene too silly? 😂
I would’ve SOBBED seeing the Chrysler building like that. It’s been my favorite thing for decades. I held a picture of it when going into surgery. I have pictures and little models of it all over my house. I want to hire someone to knit a Chrysler building plushie for me. My friend who lives in Manhattan texts me every time he’s passed it with a picture of him hugging it for me.
I think it’s the best art ever.
Moonfall was utterly ridulous and yet so incredibly fun to watch. Loved it.
The fact that Emmerich wanted to make 2 sequels to this is absolutely shocking.
I hope he does somehow
@@mitchelkvedar674 It would honestly be hilarious.
A franchise to surpass Avatar
How the fuck would you make a sequel to this i wonder.
Would saiyans start showing up and throwing planets at earth?
he's got that much more in the tank? oh thats such a shame
What I LOVE about Emmerich movies is the simple fact he takes it so seriously.
Ancient humans building the moon is played so straight and seriously, you just gotta love it.
TBF that premise can lend to a interesting deep lore. cue HALO and the absolute bonkers amount of extended lore thats actually really fucking cool. But this movie..is one of the most movies of movies.
The Last of Us stole some ideas from this movie (they stole the rest from The Girl with all the Gifts)
@@tramachi7027 dude the books are insane. Especially the book detailing the Didact

How you doing lately?
16:47 I really wonder how the hell they're gonna solve that
With CGI
I was over the moon about this movie. It isn't just a phase, I love movies that eclipse the biggest disasters possible in real life. Losing movies like this would be terrible but few appreciate the gravity of such a thing.

Lars von Trier’s Melancholia
I watched it with my then girlfriend, it fucked us pretty badly, we kinda drifted apart from the emotional scarring of that movie.
Either that or it’s the most boring movie you’ll ever see, can’t be something in the middle.
ENJOY!
there's a book it's called Seven Eves, i belive the premise is this
@@andreibaciu7518 I love that book. It's still about the moon crashing into Earth but a much more serious take than Moonfall. Made me tear up a few times over the course of it.

Bro if I wanted to see that I would look outside. So far am thinking all the side stories are the crazier shit.
Earth is toast, the moon is fake, humanity is endangered and they took out ONE AI out of what, thousands? Millions? Sounds like a happy ending to me *cue orchestra*
Ive been waiting my whole life to find a channel like this. thank you.
This channel really helps us delve into what Cody thinks about other than history…and it is strange.
What a weird way to spell hauntingly beautiful.
Runs in the family i guess
It's absolutely beautiful
I love Cody in alternatehistoryhub but I feel like this channel really brings out a different and much more fun side to him
Wait, this wasn't Tyler's channel?
We BUSTED OUT LAUGHING in the theater at the end when it was like “you’re part of the moon now” what an instant classic, I needed this today, thank you
you're part of the moon now. 😂
Maybe the real Moonfall was in us all along
The real moonfall was actually the friends we made along the way
Was recommended this video completely randomly - and thank you for the recommendation! It's completely insane!
What’s even scarier than the world the main characters will have to live in following the events that unfolded is that I actually bought this movie, at full price, and I don’t regret it.
If you're going to make an absolutely batshit crazy movie, you better commit to it.
And that's something I love about Roland Emmerich. The man is insane, and entirely committed to the insanity.
I watched it with the wife out of boredom, it was fine, typical Emmerich slop, what you put in when you want your brain to go sleepy-sleep nap time. I can proudly say I remembered nothing about it and completely forgot it existed until clicking on this video...
It is truly an art form
But he just makes copies of his own movies, here is a comparison video of Moonfall to his other movies. ruclips.net/video/C6WbTFT1Zsg/видео.html
@@alterbr33d Yeah, everybody knows that.
@@alterbr33d my man quoted his own video
Moonfall proves to me that Roland Emmerich could be cast as a director for a new Fast & the Furious film, and no one would have a problem with it.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY ENERGON!!!!
At least his movies have some kind of supernatural thing to justify the stupid shit.
Merging the Emmerichverse and Fast an Furious Universe would be impressive
That might actually get me to watch them lol.
Reminds me of that The Onion video where they interview the '5 year old director' of fast and furious. That video is great.
I think my favorite parts of these videos are when Cody can’t stay dry and just laughs or gets confused about details of the film.
Or really anything this channel is my favorite thing on the internet
Alright. I was amused through most of this, but ending the thing with a Admiral Zhao quote? Perfection.
I didn’t think anyone can do the complete opposite of what Nolan achieved.
A black hole that took 100 hours PER FRAME to render. Just so it could be realistic.
This movie goes “White Dwarf? What’s that? Oh, it’s like a small sun? Don’t have to tell me anything else, I know how the sun works.” And they just went with it. Amazing.

I actually got to see moonfall in theaters with my dad and dear lord was it a magnificent experience. It may not have won any Oscars, but I’ve caught my dad sleeping with it on the tv at least 7-8 different times, and that has to count for something
Sometimes I'll put on a "fall asleep to" movie. The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 are a couple of my favorites. I can see where Moonfall would be a good choice. Your dad must be getting some good snoozes. I swear, those movies are like white noise machines. They literally turn your brain off. Beautiful visuals, but your brain turns off in self defense from the plot/dialogue.
Yeah of you've got a bad hairline, lower back pain, and ed, it's gonna take you a good 3 or 4 times before you get through this baby without a nice snooze
Never let it be forgotten that we may never get the chance of an actually good sequel to an amazing alien film from the late 90's because Emmerich was the one who made a sequel to said film.
Thank you for this video, you made me remember that I actually watched Moonfall and these souvenirs weren't 5 different movies
Weirdly nukes do cause a massive EMP effect, but nobody in the movie is smart enough to realize the nuke plan might accidentally work.
glad someone commented on this, nukes are EMPs, just usually doesn't matter sense it blows everything in its range up anyways
@@kingforaday42the fact that i know this only because of the mw2 2009 campaign 😭
Well, the EMP effect comes from the HUGE amount of Gamma rays that a nuke produce entering the atmosphere and creating Ions and interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. So no, the plan wouldn't work.
Ahh yeah, Starfish Prime experimented with that very idea. It had a much greater EMP effect than what was expected but certainly proved that high-altitude nukes would wreak havoc on cities far outside their traditional blast range.
@@sportyeight7769 Radiation has the same effect on electronics as EMP, so it could work.
The saddest part for me is that all those NASA workers that Halle Berry sent home after the rocket broke all volunteered to be there when the world was ending instead of with their families. So when she send them home there’s no way they made it in time before the destruction later in the film. They all must have died for nothing
But by not involving them she at least avoided an insurance claim in case something went wrong!
Can we talk about how this movie felt like two seasons worth of a tv show edited into a movie?
You’ve done “Pacific Rim” and you’ve covered Roland Emmerich several times. You have to do “Godzilla” (1998). How can you not? Please, I need a true analysis of this masterpiece.
You are getting it!
Words can’t express how much life the phrase “moon terror” gives me.
Emmerich was trying to ride off the coattails of Kris Straub’s Local 58 :p
Bruh the moon peeking through the crack in the door had me dying 😂😂
yeah its just so delightfully war-on-terror-brained
My god.... its the perfect band name
Roland Emmerich really just went: “Dude, if every day we get a sun-rise…. then what’s a moon-fall?”
I've seen this movie and even purchased this bad boy on Blu-Ray. When you stop trying to take a movie seriously and treat it like a goofy ride they are supposed to be they actually tend to be really fun, who woulda thought. Lmao
This is, by far, your best video
Why is pointless' editing so smooth bro
And the chill voice, pacing and script are wonderful as well
Because that's what he was looking for in the dude he hired
@@mauz791 it's more along the line of doesn't give a sh*t at all and that's why it's so funny, the dry and dead serious tone while also just "alr whatever".
The writing, the pacing, the pause, the humor. My god, we have to preserve his brain for the future generations.
Because he or his editor(s) are good at editing?
One absurd thing that I noticed about the movie is how hamfisted it was that the antagonist was an "advanced AI." Like, it not only gave no indication that it was super cunning, but it was actually just incredibly stupid. It had the object permanence skills of a stealth game NPC, and our heroes outwitted it on multiple occasions. My theory is that it wasn't originally meant to be an AI, but during post-production, ChatGPT came out, and they hastily changed the script to get in on the trend.
Idk man they tend to just nerf evil geniuses and AI so the protagonists have a chance. Like why didn't skynet just make covid 2.0 and wipe humanity out that way? Duurrr nukes n terminators more fun!
Wasn't that all explained in the movie? Like there were two AIs, one good and one bad, and the good one helped the heroes.
@@32BitJunkie because skynet actually doesn't want to destroy humanity and regrets what he has done, but his programming forces him to act that way to defend itself. At least if you believe the word of God
@@32BitJunkie it's not just that it was nerfed. There's one particular scene where the NASA director was looking at the footage of the scouting mission where the AI was captured on camera for the first time. She sees this footage and says that given the footage, this is clearly an AI, despite the fact that it really didn't indicate that at all? It could have easily been an alien or something. I'm paraphrasing what she said, but the actual line she said was exceptionally bad, and also I'm pretty sure it was dubbed over.
Either way, "advanced AI" being incredibly stupid would make this the movie with the most realistic AI portrayal.
I am giving this a like, not only because you spent the time to watch this movie when no one else did... but because you've made such a compelling argument as to why it should be preserved as a piece of humanity's media history.
I decided to watch this movie before watching this video when it first came out and I'm so glad I did because I was so excited to see you talk about the ending 😭
I love how the Michael Bay's 20th century disastrous disaster film Armaggedon stated the problems with trying to nuke your space problems away.
You know, you have to crack it and split it for an explosion to even be remotely effective.
And then in Roland Emmerich's even more disastrous disaster film Moonfall, the government attempts to nuke its problems away without explanation.
*Armaggedon dunked on Moonfall decades before Moonfall even came out!*
Damn. Imagine being outbrained by *_Michael Bay._*
And people dunked on Armageddon back in the day for having an unrealistic plot. If I recall, it'd still be the same mass peltering down on the earth, just with vastly more surface area, meaning a lot more of it would burn up in atmosphere, which would significantly heat up the atmosphere, as well as put a lot of dust into the upper atmosphere trapping the heat in better. Not to mention there's probably still a ton of chunks big enough not to burn up entirely, meaning instead of one huge crater, you got several still very big craters. I mean, a lot of real world craters came from something you could hold in your hand, and have comparable blast radii to nukes. So shattering the a big asteroid before its impact would be equivalent to just simultaneously setting off a 100 or so nukes across the planet, even somewhat comparable long term effects making the earth significantly less hospitable. If people didn't die from being cooked alive or being in the blast radius of an impact, then we're looking at a situation theorized to have killed the dinosaurs and generally brought about significant changes to the prevalent lifeforms on earth. If I recall, the better solution would've instead been using the nuke on the surface where it wouldn't break, so that force would instead push it into a new trajectory and cause it to miss the planet entirely. But also its a movie and people want to see nukes blow up big things, so whatever.
I think the crap Armageddon got, was more about NASA actually being part of the production. And then the end result was what it was, and NASA looked like a bunch of fools. During a time when their budget and the publics general feeling for them was at an all time low.
@@fwg1994 Didn't the movie address that by saying there was a point at which blowing up the asteroid would still cause the debris to hit the Earth, and the entire climax of the movie was making sure the asteroid was blown up before that point?
@@fwg1994Redirection is the best option but you've got to do it a long long time before impact, or it won't move it enough to make a difference. So you've got to detect it years before it hits earth. If you don't have time for that smashing it into tiny pieces with a bomb is probably the best option, yes you will heat up the atmosphere and you might have a few smaller impacts, but it would still be better than doing nothing, especially if you can deflect some of the material away from earth with a big enough explosion.
There's a timeline where Roland Emmerich became a supervillain, this is just the universe where he channels that destructive energy into his movies
You telling me Roland Emmerich has the power to tear worlds asunder?
@@concept5631 I'm pretty sure he would
We're in the universe where superhumans were retconned away, Wanted style. Roland Emmerich's film career consists of evil plots he did as a supervillian. Yes, including Stonewall.
...Okay, explain Anonymous using similar logic?? (the Roland Emmerich movie, not the hacker collective)
Budget Cuts of all things being one of the reasons behind the endtimes is awe-inspiringly poetic if you’ve been a fan of a particular 2010 flash webtoon for a while
Had to do a double take because I saw my home theater @1:36 lol. Solid video brother, earned a sub for what its worth
I think a huge problem with the movie was a lack of advertising. I have literally never heard of this movie until now and I'm a sucker for apocalypse movies.
nah I remember getting ads for it back when it was coming out and I decided that it's something that I most definitely am not going to watch
@@Shinnjid Same, except I forgot about it after the trailer finished XD
They were going to advertise about it but because of budget cuts....
I only found out after the penguinz0 video. After that I pirated it lol
The concept is just too boring for anyone to care.
I would love to see a completely arbitrary tier list of disaster movies on this channel. Which are the most accurate, interesting, fun, hilarious, and which ones aren't worth watching.
Oh god that video would be like 2 hours long there are sooooo many to go through, and I’d be right there with you watching the whole thing hahaha.
Sounds like iceberg time
@@DescendingVelocity it would probably be even longer than that! There are so many, I know the Syfy channel alone provides a decent portion of those disaster movies 😂
Dante's Peak is unironic kino. Twister is pretty good too.
7:45 would like to point out the main NASA launch site is in Florida...
which has never been hit by an earthquake
You might wanna look up the New Madrid quake of the 1800`s....everywhere in America had an earthquake that day.
My expectations were so low I actually enjoyed watching it.
I went to see this movie with my family and we have literally never laughed harder at a movie than “You’re part of the moon now”
Frankly as a space nerd and aerospace engineering student I have to say, the fact that the shuttle only suffered minimal damage is amazing, that thing had something break all the time and for any reason.
I mean, to be fair, im not sure anything in the movie works like it should. My personal favorite are all the buildings conserving their structural integrity as the gravity pull from the moon starts negating and overthrowing that of the earth, even as they get ripped off from the ground. Like, you know, those things whose building and stability are inherently based and dependant of earths gravity and how tension applies thereoff.
The actual shuttle couldn't take a basketball sized piece of foam hitting its wing, yet it somehow survived a hundred ton wave of water...
I want to be a aeronautical engineering student too but I'm stuck doing CSE🙃
@@SumiEwiets-idgaf what's CSE?
@@sprinkle61 yeah
I watched Moonfall on two flights😂 going to Puerto Rico I watched half of it, and coming back two weeks later I watched the second half. It was pretty entertaining for a flight pass time.
"This sounds like a backhanded compliment."
Beat.
Okay, you earned that thumbs-up. Carry on.
Disaster movies are definitely a dying breed, but a part of me definitely looks forward to these really weird ideas of how the world could end. It's a nice change of pace from MCU movie #9756
the world doesn't end if the Constitution survived
I'm hoping they will shoot a movie of Pawn.
People start to die in high mountain regions in the thousands, then millions. It first, a disease is assumed.. But as one doctor at a hospital reports over the radio, it's not a virus.. it's killing all animals, even insects.. yet plants are perfectly fine..
It's also killing combustion engines and even fire dies... (I'll let you guess what disaster is happening here :P)
Taking "That's no moon, that's a space station" to a whole new level
"What would you do in this situation?" I would parry that, I have excellent timing. I'm built different.
This is the first time I’ve heard Cody laugh and it’s awesome.
Roland Emmerich could make anything as stupid as flat earth and make it into a movie, the guy's a legend
stereotypical comment 3001# that just quotes a funny part of the video and saying some variation of "wow this was really funny"
@@yodaman8015all it is quoting what everyone else heard, wheres the humor in it? how tf do they get likes, i remember seeing someone quote a phrase that was audibly heard by the audience, and everyone just commenting “shut the fuck up”
where tf did that go? 😂
Moon fall is without a doubt my favourite movie experience of all time. Turned up to the film with 5 friends in suits all to find out that no one else had bought a ticket and so we spent the entire film loudly pointing out how bad it was. Single handedly the funniest movie experience of all time and even then I was bored for half of it at least.
I think my favourite part has to be when the moon turns off gravity and oxygen just enough so that the step dad dies and no one else just so that they could reunite the main character and his ex-wife. That or when the moon falls.
You guys did it the right way. This is the definition of a "turn your brain off and enjoy the fireworks" type of film.
Didn't Roland Emmerich do the whole kill stepdad so divorced couple can get back together thing in 2012? It seems weird to do it twice.
@@admiralgaius9796 he's a huge fan of the trope for some reason, best not to read into it. Or do, I'm not your (step)father.
can't wait until I'm like 90 with Alzeheimer's and i keep watching and forgetting independence day so every time i watch it its a new watch
1:42 Moonfall induced mass amnesia among my family. I was relatively excited to watch it, went with my parents, and personally found it to be a relatively dumb but fun movie. Saw it on the TV a few months ago, and my parents absolutely *cannot remember* seeing this movie, let alone in a theater.
Have I dreamed this movie ?
