Moonfall: What would Elon Musk do? When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s Moonfall. When life on Earth goes to heck thanks to a swarm of nano tech, that’s Moonfall. That master of disaster, Roland Emmerich , uses bits and pieces of every sci fi, action movie he ever made and borrowed from a few others to put together another apocalyptic adventure of disastrous proportions…literally and figuratively.

There are many aspects that feel Frankensteined together from Roland Emmerich’s previous works and various sci-fi and disaster movies. Still, the mix of schadenfreude, catharsis, and hope is exactly what many of us need to get us to March, or the end of the pandemic, or the next variant, or whatever disaster awaits us in reality. See Moonfall if you think some floods, earthquakes, and plucky heroes might help you do that, but you’ll need a suspension of disbelief as big as the moon.
