‘Moonfall’ – First Trailer for Roland Emmerich’s Latest Disaster is Here
Moon, meet Earth. Earth, meet Moon.
Director Roland Emmerich makes movies about the end of civilization, sometimes the planet. His resume includes both Independence Day movies, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, White House Down, and 1998’s Godzilla. His latest has an even more ridiculous premise – the moon is on a collision course into earth.
This is going to be dumb – but being dumb does not mean it won’t be enjoyable for a certain subset of us that love bad movies. There looks to be plenty of explosions, yelling, high speed action in space and on earth, and a misunderstanding of physics. Maybe aliens?
Lots of suspension of disbelief will be required.

M0onfall Synopsis
“In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it.
With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman believes her.
These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.”
The cast includes Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak, and Donald Sutherland.
Moonfall hits theaters on February 4, 2022.
