    "The laws of gravity have gone out the window. The laws of drama have gone out the window. The laws of common sense have packed up their belongings and are fleeing for the hills which, even now, are being destroyed by an outtake from a Lars Von Trier's art movie."

      I don't exactly know if he writes a lot of his reviews down before he goes on air, but the way he seems to hesitate and lose his words because he speaks too fast and then, seemingly out of the blue, comes up with those quips and analogies, is absolutely brilliant. The prose equivalent of a car going from 0 to 100 in 2 seconds. And even if he can absolutely destroy a film he hates, his best rants are the ones where he's having a fun allegro meltdown.

    I saw it a few days ago at a Cineworld special screening and I’ve been waiting for MK’s take on it! It is so bad it’s good. Nothing makes sense, science is thrown out the window, laughably bad lines, and yet another big sci-fi film that takes conspiracy theorists seriously. But if you treat it like a rollercoaster ride/popcorn movie and just go with it, it is so fun.

    I saw it today, and I have to agree 100% with Mark.
    I wasn't expecting too much but I spent the first three quarters of the movie in utter stunned disbelief about how *spectacularly* stupid the film was...then at the three quarter-mark something clicked in my mind (or perhaps it liquified into mush....) and I started to think: "hang on, they must _know_ how idiotic this is, it's actually being done with a wink, it has to be sending itself up..."
    Once I had accepted the fact that the film was complete trash, I actually enjoyed looking out for the next howler (and they were coming thick and fast). Oddly, I had quite a good time!

    A film with so many plot holes you could drive the moon through it (that’s not a spoiler by the way) 😂
    It’s a mad film which I think taking from 5 films is an underestimate - my friend reckoned 11. But it’s worth seeing as long as you leave your brain outside 😂

    It was a Friday after work. I'd had a long week and had been suffering from a bout of insomnia, and my partner said "oh, isn't that dumb film we saw a poster for out today?". We went to the early evening showing with only 6 other people there and it was exactly the perfect relief! So dumb. We groaned at all the cheesy dialogue. We laughed at all the dodgy science. And boy was I in stitches. The effects were good, the moon snake blob looked cool, I really took to John Bradley as a performer, and Halle Berry gave it her all like the trooper she is. The scene with an awkward bespeckled British dude sitting in a space shuttle sincerely using a slide rule absolutely made it for me. Utterly stupid, I recommend it.

    This was my first Roland Emmerich film. I was expecting a ridiculous-yet-fun B-movie, instead it was just an ok B-movie. I felt it took itself a bit too seriously, so it doesn't feel as fun as the premise suggests

  • @obscuremetaphor
    @obscuremetaphor 2 года назад +2

    I don't think I've been more in sync with Mr Kermode. I was keeping a mental running tally of films that Moonfall was stupider than while watching it, and I ran out of movies. And I want everyone to see it so we can laugh about how bad it is.
    There's a car chase where THE MOON is chasing them. How can anyone not want to see that?!

    Watched this at the cinema this afternoon with our two boys. Utterly and truly dreadful but for reasons I can’t quite explain we were each (marginally) happier to have seen it than not. I think 🤷🏾.

    • @peterd3215
      @peterd3215 2 года назад

      It was all due to Patrick Wilson. He carries this film so hard he deserves an Oscar for making it serious when he could and fun when he couldn't. That guy is now criminally underrated. Halle berry was wooden as a board sadly.

    You've sold it to me, the film sounds totally daft so I have booked a ticket. Wasn't going to see it as many of the reviews were very negative, but 99% of the time you are right with your film choices. It sounds fun

    I saw this yesterday.
    Silly story. Cliched dialogue. Pointless Chinese character with 2 or 3 sentences said in Mandarin to try and lever a China cinema release. Just ridiculous really.
    Yet ... I really quite enjoyed this film. It's very easy to pick faults with it ... but it's all quite good fun, and I think kids will love it

    Rarely, if ever, re-listen to Mark's reviews, not because they aren't quality and helpful, but basically as there's no need! But this one. This one is an all time comedy classic worthy of multiple rewinds because Mark is so on form and bird song hilarious! I also want to see the movie!

    I’m actually disappointed that the movie decided to go down such a silly and goofy route as Mark put so well. The concept of the moon falling out of orbit and causing destruction on earth is actually a really cool idea in theory. If they dropped the superstructures, aliens, family melodrama and all that nonsense and just focused on NASA trying to solve the moon problem then I think there is a good popcorn movie in there.

    • @barbarakirk3064

      Surely they would have remembered the flooding that happened in Bruce Almighty that was caused by him drawing the moon closer towards him and Jennifer Aniston's character?

      The Time Machine (2002) had the moon cracking and nearly destroying the Earth. It was a cool sequence.

    I watched Moonfall on Prime not knowing what to expect and found myself cringing at how bad the writing and direction was - utterly, utterly awful. And yet.
    AND YET...
    I'd still watch the sequel if one ever got made 🤣
