OUR RATING: ★★☆☆☆

Story:

Sci-fi action directed and co-written by Roland Emmerich. Moonfall (2022) follows the events when 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, on NASA executive, and former astronaut, Jo Fowler (Halle Berry), is convinced she has the key to saving us all, but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and conspiracy theorist, K.C. Houseman (John Bradley), believe her. Together they 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.

Best Quotes


 

Brian Harper: What does it even mean to “miss the rains down in Africa”?
Jocinda Fowler: The lyrics are, “I bless the rains down in Africa.”
Brian Harper: What? No, they’re not.
Jocinda Fowler: Yes, they are.
Brian Harper: It makes even less sense.
Jocinda Fowler: Well, I should know, because I karaoke’d it at my wedding.
Brian Harper: Ah. Well, I must have missed that. I was in the zone. Tearing it up on the dance floor.
Jocinda Fowler: You can’t dance to save your life.
Alan Marcus: Anyone ever tell you guys you bicker like an old married couple?
Brian Harper: That’s because she’s my work wife. Back to work, rookie.


 

Brian Harper: I would like to thank you for spending your honeymoon in space with us.
Jocinda Fowler: It was either space or Italy. But Italy doesn’t beat this view.


 

KC Houseman: [over phone] Hello. My name is Dr. KC Houseman, and I’ve uncovered what might be the most important discovery in human history. I need you to patch me through to the director of NASA immediately!
Woman: Honey, I sell T-shirts and toys. I can patch you through to customer service. Please hold.


 

Jocinda Fowler: So, the Moon’s been orbiting around the Earth for billions of years, and now you’re telling me it’s changed its course?


 

KC Houseman: [to his cat] Oh, Fuzz Aldrin. How many times have I told you to use the litter box?


 

KC Houseman: Astronaut Day. This is today. Fuzz, you’re a damn genius! Extra back scratches later.


 

KC Houseman: [to the school kids] To put it bluntly, the Moon is a megastructure. Do you get it? Huge and artificial! Whoever built this incredible thing must think we’re a pathetic species. But don’t even get me started on eclipses. They’re only possible because the Moon is exactly four hundred times smaller than the Sun, and exactly four hundred times closer to the Earth. Anyone know how that happened?
Nerdy Boy: Because the Moon’s a megastructure?
KC Houseman: Yeah, someone’s paying attention!


 

KC Houseman: I’ve made a shocking discovery. I need you to get me in touch with NASA immediately.
Brian Harper: Well, NASA and I aren’t really on speaking terms these days.
KC Houseman: Well, that’ll change, when you tell them that the Moon is out of orbit.
Brian Harper: Really?


 

KC Houseman: Look at the data. A natural body does not change its orbit overnight.
Brian Harper: Yeah, well, my natural body is walking away from you right now.


 

Brian Harper: I got enough on my plate without some crazy guy thinking the Moon’s out of orbit.
KC Houseman: I’m not crazy!


 

Elaine Houseman: Everybody here knows that my son is a genius working at NASA.
KC Houseman: What? I’m a nobody, Mum.
Elaine Houseman: Well, you’re somebody to me.
KC Houseman: I actually did make a discovery. But it doesn’t matter. No one will listen to me.
Elaine Houseman: Then make them.


 

NASA Director Albert Hutchings: We’re confident that the lunar recon mission will provide the necessary data to address the problem. There’s no need to panic. That’s all for now.
Jocinda Fowler: You just lied to the whole country.
NASA Director Albert Hutchings: Get in line, you work for me.
Jocinda Fowler: I work for the American people, and you’re keeping them in the dark.


 

KC Houseman: My fellow megastructurists, if you’re watching this, then you know by now a huge problem is heading our way, and we’re the only ones who can solve it. An emergency meeting is being called, our usual place immediately. LA Palm Hotel. Today. Eighteen hundred. Free bagels.


 

Brian Harper: You knew all this was happening before anyone. Before NASA. How?
KC Houseman: Why bother? You’re just going to say I’m crazy again.
Brian Harper: Try me.


 

Brian Harper: [after Houseman’s given his explanation] Yeah, still crazy.
KC Houseman: Why did you come here if you’re not going to believe me?
Brian Harper: Because I know what it’s like to try to tell people something and have no one listen.


 

Jocinda Fowler: Everything we thought we knew about the nature of the universe has just gone out the window. We’re not prepared for this.


 

Holdenfield: In school, you were taught that Apollo 11 lost contact with Mission Control for two minutes. Not true. Mission Control cut their feed to the world because they found something on that day. Strange pulsating lights emanating from beneath the Moon’s crust. It was me who was assigned to keep it under wraps The Apollo crew played ball. Everybody after. Just Brian Harper wouldn’t. They called him crazy. Threw him out with the trash.


 

Jocinda Fowler: You’re telling me that the Moon was effectively the biggest cover-up in human history?
Holdenfield: Biggest? Probably.
Jocinda Fowler: You had blood on your hands too.
Holdenfield: Yeah, well, anyone who follows orders pretty much always does, don’t they?


 

Holdenfield: That technology, it’s light years ahead of us. Compared to that, we’re the Stone Age.


 

Ziggy: Word is you’re an astronaut, so you must know that the entire inside of the Moon is full of produce.
Brian Harper: KC, can you tell Birkenstocks here that I’m dangerously close to hurling him out a window?


 

Brian Harper: And, you know, the worst part is I lost a friend up there. And it was my fault.
KC Houseman: Oh, come on. How was it your fault? You saved the shuttle. You saved Fowler.
Brian Harper: A lot of good that did. I’m divorced, broke, my son hates me.
KC Houseman: God, I am so jealous. Alien tech. It’s freaking awesome.


 

Brian Harper: What’s with all the pill popping? You’re really sweating over there. You okay?
KC Houseman: Yeah. No. I broke into UC Irvine multiple times. I lost two of their mops. They probably know.


 

Brian Harper: KC knew the Moon was out of orbit before you guys did.
KC Houseman: Social media went wild when I posted my research.
Jocinda Fowler: You’re the “unidentified source”?
KC Houseman: Oh, yes.
Jocinda Fowler: Oh, God.


 

Jocinda Fowler: I think whatever happened all those years ago is directly responsible for what’s happening right now.
Brian Harper: Oh, so you believe me now?
Jocinda Fowler: I saw your helmet cam.
Brian Harper: It’s a little late for an apology.
Jocinda Fowler: We were both lied to.


 

Jocinda Fowler: Excuse me. The megastructure?
Brian Harper: Please don’t ask.
KC Houseman: It’s highly likely our Moon was built by aliens. We have to get inside and make first contact.
Brian Harper: [to Fowler] I told you not to ask.


 

Jocinda Fowler: We’re planning a mission to attack this thing. The only problem is, is it recognizes our technology. Which is why we need you.
Brian Harper: Well, I never thought I’d hear you say that again.
Jocinda Fowler: You’re the only pilot to ever land a shuttle without power.
Brian Harper: Not exactly a hirable skill.
Jocinda Fowler: Well, it is right now. Which is why I’m offering you your job back. And I’m personally asking you for your help.


 

Brian Harper: I don’t know. I got a lot of my own problems down here.
Jocinda Fowler: And the Moon falling onto Earth isn’t one of them?


 

Jocinda Fowler: I know it sounds completely crazy.
Brian Harper: No, no. What you showed us was crazy. This is a whole other level of insane.
Jocinda Fowler: Ought to be right up your alley then, no?
