Second ‘Moonfall’ Trailer Reveals Roland Emmerich’s Silliest Disaster Movie Yet
Gasp! The moon is on a collision course towards Earth! But wait, there’s more. Somehow the ‘Moonfall’ trailer is even goofier than it sounds.
Director Roland Emmerich makes movies about the end of civilization. Sometimes the planet goes along with it. I mean, his résumé includes both Independence Day movies, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and White House Down. And the Moonfall trailer looks like it’s in the same vein. His latest film has an even more ridiculous premise: the moon is on a collision course into the earth.
Oh, and the moon is actually a hidden alien space base. Yep.
How Ridiculous is the Moonfall Trailer? See for Yourself:
In the Moonfall trailer, it looks like there will be plenty of chaos. Queue the explosions, yelling, high-speed action, and the general misunderstanding of physics. Plus, it looks like there will be some very hungry nano-bot style aliens hiding on the moon waiting to be poked into attacking.
There also seems to be a cult? Yeah. Everything you need in an outer-space, fighting-against-the-end-of-the-world disaster movie.
This is going to be really dumb. But being dumb doesn’t mean it won’t be enjoyable for folks that like disaster movies. There is such a thing as “so bad it’s good”. *Gestures to Snakes on a Plane.*
According to the Moonfall trailer, watching the film will require lots of suspension of disbelief– and maybe some adult beverages.

From the Team at Lionsgate:
In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Academy Award® winner Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson, “Midway”) and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley, “Game of Thrones”) 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.
