Just when you think “Moonfall” can’t redeem itself, it takes a turn and ends well. The last 20 minutes deliver.

Moonfall
The moon is falling in the latest disaster film from director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day), starring Halle Berry and Donald Sutherland alongside Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring), Michael Peña (Ant-Man) and Charlie Plummer (Words on Bathroom Walls).
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 against all odds, a ragtag team launches an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love and risking everything to land on the lunar surface and save our planet from annihilation.

Even if the hit-and-miss special effects were more consistent, the sheer silliness would make it impossible to take the threat of global destruction seriously even for a moment.

Moonfall becomes a mixture of Emmerichs usual clichs that are starting to show their age...

Sure, “Moonfall” is all kinds of stupid, but... I had a blast, and would gladly saddle up for a second viewing.

Roland Emmerich ends the world yet again with his latest silly, enjoyable sci-fi epic.

The New York Times
For the director Roland Emmerich, who treats the planet to potentially life-ending cataclysms with the regularity of dental checkups, it’s not much new under the sun.

Hollywood Reporter
Filled with unintentional humor, the film seems inevitably destined for exposure on a future incarnation of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Financial Times
The result is bizarre and by many measures terrible. It is also almost certainly the exact film its director wanted to make. A hopeful comeback, it does not lack the wow factor.

Moonfall has the ludicrous plotting and F-the-world-up moments you’d expect
It’s exactly what you expect, if perhaps not quite as earth-shattering as maybe one would hope.
