The bad news is that Moonfall isn’t a great movie. The good news is that it’s hugely enjoyable for most of its running time. Read full review

Richard Brody

Feb 7, 2022

The best parts of “Moonfall” feel like a sharp and cogent reproach to the corporate stolidity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and other superhero-franchise movies. The ridiculous proves occasionally sublime. Read full review

The Independent Clarisse Loughrey

It’s exhausting. It’s exhilarating. And it’s exactly as absurd as you could ever hope it would be. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

Feb 3, 2022

The film sounds actively embarrassed by what it’s trying to pitch, and reverse-engineers its sci-fi elements to fit the default disaster template Emmerich could apply in his sleep. We’re promised the Moon, but sold a lemon. Read full review

It’s all very stupid, if only sometimes in an amusing way. Read full review

This film could have literally given us the Moon. Instead, it offers the world’s noisiest lullaby. Read full review

There’s nothing worthwhile here; the landscape of wretched banality offers only wasted time and a sense of despair. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es cierto que la temática y la estructura es muy típica, pero los efectos especiales son muy satisfactorios visualmente. No dejan nada qué desear. El ambiente me introdujo a la tensión y el terror; fue emocionante. La historia creativa fue muy impredecible. Se manejaron temas innovadores que en lo personal no me hubiera imaginado como lo fue la megaestructura de la Luna o el tema de los ancestros súper avanzados. Y el elenco estuvo magnífico. Actuaciones de calidad, al menos para mí como el consumidor.… Expand

Overall I left the theatre satisfied! Sure, there were bad acting, cheesy scenes and was perhaps 30 mins too long - but I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. If you can suspend your need to be rooted to realism and instead entertain an alternative reality offered by Roland Emmerich for 2 hours -Overall I left the theatre satisfied! Sure, there were bad acting, cheesy scenes and was perhaps 30 mins too long - but I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. If you can suspend your need to be rooted to realism and instead entertain an alternative reality offered by Roland Emmerich for 2 hours - I am convinced you would enjoy the movie. The plot is just wild and you will not see it coming : just the kind of escapism one looks for when you walk in the theatre. Sometimes you just want to check out of every day reality and sink into a viable alternative universe. This is that kind of movie. And it is a win for me.… Expand

Well, uh...at least Roland E. did something different with his disaster movie this time. It still has many of the same tropes that he seems to never tire of, but this is definitely the most out-there premise he or whoever helped him write it has come up with.

A quarter through the movie I couldn't help myself but laughing at it's stupidity. It tries to explain the plot with scientific statements wich are being overthrown moments later. The characters are boring, the dialogues are poorly written. The only positive thing I can find about this movieA quarter through the movie I couldn't help myself but laughing at it's stupidity.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The dialog is excruciatingly bad and corny, not even in a so-bad-its-good kind of way. The CGI and special effects are cheap looking and most of the film was made in-front of a green screen and it is blatantly obvious.

The CGI and special effects are cheap looking and most of the film was made in-front of a green screen and it is blatantly obvious. You don't end up caring about any of the characters and the plot is a jumbled mess that contradicts itself in places. Its astonishing how this kind of trash gets financed.… Expand
