Summary

Sci-fi action adventure starring Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson. When the Moon's orbit starts to change, Earth is threatened with imminent destruction. Two former astronauts and an amateur lunar researcher blast off to try to save the day - but the source of this astronomic anomaly is much tougher to fight than they realise.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

James Mottram

Director Roland Emmerich knows a thing or two about the disaster movie, having previously cooked up alien-invasion saga Independence Day and the eco-meltdown movie The Day after Tomorrow. This adventure falls into the same category of cinematic catastrophe, as Halle Berry's Nasa executive, Patrick Wilson's ex-astronaut and John Bradley's physics nerd jet off into the stratosphere to stop the Moon from crashing into the Earth after it's thrown off its orbit. So far, so Armageddon, but there's a lot more to Moonfall's increasingly looney lunar plot. On the ground, Charlie Plummer, as Wilson's son, provides the emotional through-line - there needs to be someone on Earth worth saving - but it's not quite enough to elevate the film into anything particularly substantial. However, Emmerich's blockbuster doesn't take itself too seriously, with Bradley's overexcited space ranger bringing some charming comic relief (he even has a cat called "Fuzz Aldrin"), and delivers a welcome helping of cheese amid the blockbuster carnage.
