This movie turned into a comedy halfway through because of how ridiculous the storyline became. It was as if every new event in the movie had to top the previous one in craziness.
I dunno, I found it kind of fun to see that some ancient civilization created AI which (of course) went crazy and that's what's going on. Although saying there was a white dwarf in the center was a bit over the top.
Also to add to that when a great disaster is happen...the people are just causally going on about their own little problems like they not even worried the world is on the brink of extinction.
Roland Emmerich knows full well what he’s doing when he makes these movies. Every single one of his films has to top the last in sheer batshit insanity. This may very well be the peak of his career, the most deranged thing he’s ever made. Unless he comes along and tops this, it might be the most absurd and self fulfilling big budget sci fi movie of the past 50 years
Supposedly Emmerich had a sequel in mind that was even more batshit crazy than this one - mercifully we'll never see it because this one bombed so badly.
Science in this movie hits the bottom. In fact, Moon should've been destroyed by Earth gravitational force halfway. Also I liked "Moon touched the Earth, and they decided it was time to launch nukes"
Moon gravity pulls oceans off the Earth's surface, but clouds and atmospheric air are unaffected. I hate gravity that discriminate on basis of mass and density.
@@vilheard3030 well that’s how tides work, tides are caused by the fluctuations of gravity as the moon orbits the earth so if you increase that gravity by a large portion, then the tides become much higher eventually leading to them lifting into the sky.
I have not seen this film. Apparently not many have either. If moon is close enough to start pulling ocean water of Earth's surface , it will also pull atmosphere, creating an extreme low pressure weather system. As atmospheric air rushes into low pressure , extreme weather events would take place. A hypercane , a supersonic hurricane, would be one. Wind speeds in excess of 600 mph. Tornadoes and cyclones in excess of F5. For certain moon superproximity would create gravitational tidal forces on Earth's crust, accelerating continental drift, causing exaggerated earthquakes, volcanic eruptions. End of the world type events. The enlarging proximity of moon will cause extreme solar eclipses and magnified solar occlusion effects, as loser moon casts a shadow , reducing amount of light reaching Earth. If moon broke up due to gravitational tidal forces and forms a ring around Earth's equator, reduced sunlight and permanent gravitational effects , but spread out across equatorial surface. Eventually many pieces would enter Earth's atmosphere causing bolide collisions . Multiple extinction level collision events , but happening in succession across centuries or millenia. Earth would become uninhabitable to life. At least not to life as we currently have. Last time Earyh was subject to that level of bolide bombardment, was 4.5 billion years ago after proto-earth collided with proto-planet Thea. The result was our Earth and moon. That bombardment seeded Earth with water and basic amino acids and minerals that Eventually formed first life.
Roland Emmerich's movies are such popcorn binge inducing. Actually physics are somewhat respected since the moon's mass is altered, it's outer shell is destroyed, revealing its inner core at the end. But sure the tidal wave is "weird" as it can lift water but not as much rip the atmosphere apart, yet oxygen is depleted, leading to the death of one of the secondary character. The moon up close can lift cars like it counters Earth's own gravity like is has now weaker than the moon's. But again, it is "normal", it's a Roland Emmerich's movie after all. Was great and fun to watch.
@@talscriver5870 Yeah science fiction doesn't have to be scientifically accurate. If you can make it sound at least some what plausible to the average person then I'm down.
@@talscriver5870 Suspension of disbelief can only take you so far. When there's a mistake here and there, fine. When your whole movie is anti-physical bullshit from top to bottom, you might be a bad writer.
They said that humanity’s ancestors lived on a different planet with technology we haven’t even dreamed of yet, so with that technology they could’ve made the moon immune to the Roche limit.
If you watch the movie it's a megastructure the mass increases and so does the gravity and at one point the gravity becomes 80% that of earth which is why it could fight back Earth's gravity it's not the moon we know
For what it is, this movie was a great, fun time. The thing I like the most about this movie is that it focuses solely on being entertaining, no lessons to learn, no heavy shit, just a good old fashioned "Save the World" kind of thing with no political or overtly in your face moments related to society or something.
@@Space_Man909 yeaI still can’t get over the whole “America saves the entire world” thing tho lol. Seriously, wth are the other countries doing? Just watching?

Wow. That was just... wow. This movie is almost entirely science-free, which is pretty amazing for a sci-fi movie. You'd think that they'd get at least a few things right accidentally, but this is almost like they went out of their way to be wrong.
So what their saying is that there was technology to make the moon a megastructure, hyper space travel, and nano technology AI. But there wasn't an EMP?
Exactly. If our ancestors were so advanced, even billions of years in the past, did they not think to have some kind of failsafe for the AI technology? Why did it only take an EMP for the entire AI nano technology to be destroyed for good? This whole movie contradicts itself and science
well, the AI shown in this film is smaller than the past one, so maybe they had emps but not suitable ones. Think about it, the AI was probably smart enough to build EMP resistant nanobots. Why did this one work? probably because the moon designed one specifically to kill it.
It is likely that the EMP technology did exist, but the movie explains that the AI was "everywhere, it was in every facet of life and used for everything". That was how it was even able to rebel in the first place. Humanity of the past tried absolutely everything they could think of to combat the AI, and nothing proved effective. In the end, their only solution was to create Ark Ships to reseed their species and "safeguard them" to some extent. Basically... just hide them. The AI onboard the Moon even states that "this is just a tendril" of the other AI. A small portion of it that was dispatched to wander the galaxy in search of humanity. It was a small enough swarm that it COULD be stopped with an EMP... but they had to come very close to a failure point for that to even work. Even then, it almost didn't. It's always weird to me how many people didn't watch the actual movie, but instead watch a "recap" which omits lots of details for a "rough synopsis" and then go, "but... X doesn't make sense!". I mean... if you watched the movie and paid attention... yeah it does. Despite how absolutely bonkers pretty much every Emmerich film ends up being, the man has a lot of "attention to detail" in just telling a story. Does he not know how physics work? Yes. Does he take a lot of artistic license with things for the sake of stunning visuals? Absolutely. Does he not care about "how does this make sense from a larger worldbuilding standpoint"? Absolutely not. But, he will tell you a tight and contained story that works only on the internal level and do it well. Every plot point within his movies is explained within his movies and all contingencies to what someone might "nitpick" about the story are covered within the story. It's a complete tale, even if the larger implications of a universe outside the movie renders it all nonsensical.
Everyone who hated this movie went in with too high of expectations. What did you guys expect from a trailer that made it seem like we were going to war against the moon? I loved this movie, it was just the right amount of cheese🤣
@@afwdawdawdwadw1595 I don't know what trailer you watched, but every one shows the alien (now known to be an AI) and big guns being used to for fighting it multiple times along with the line "if the moon is what you say it is" right before showing the guns. That's on you for not picking up that it was going to an alien movie.
@@afwdawdawdwadw1595 dude this.movoe was great. I went in expecting a comedy action film and that's exactly what I got and then some. Lighten up and enjoy the ride. It's a popcorn flic and there are rumors its going to be a trilogy. So buckle up buttercup. This rides just getting started.
Soo wait ...if the atmosphere was gone . They thought oxygen tanks would save them? I mean the atmosphere consists of alot of gases which pressurises your body , it can't work without that pressure, you'll blow up . You need the astronaut suit and a oxygen tank to survive
In the early 21st century M. Night Shamwow (sp?) made a movie about aliens allergic to water who come to Earth. A planet practically saturated with the stuff, and doing so _naked._ They also had no way of dealing with locked wooden doors and their communication was based on crop circles. It was going to be hard to make a more scientifically illiterate movie and these folks may have done just that.
@@giga_chad9 Just think, there could be children today who will say the same things you just said. Only it'll be about this movie. If it's any consolation, one potentially cool thing about these aliens is that *our* watery blood would be like acid to them. (Seriously though, didn't you wonder what the Signs aliens planned on doing when it rained? Or on those really humid days when water literally comes out of the air. Or if someone spat on them.)
This reminds me of “Don’t Look Up” so much. The higher ups tell everyone not to worry while they stay safe and cozy in their research headquarters. And everyone else is stranded and left to die basically
"Whether Moonfall is so bad it's good or simply bad will depend on your tolerance for B-movie cheese -- but either way, this is an Emmerich disaster thriller through and through." "As long as you don't put too much thought into the plot, Moonfall is a fun sci-fi disaster movie."
AI: "Oh thats an EMP, I know that technology so I upgrade it." Hero: "So why didnt the smartass humans used it before?" AI: "Because it would kill this moon that was youre birth cradle lol" AI: "Because they were so reliant on technology they would have died after wiping it away anyways." AI: "Because we didn't had this technology as we werent a war like race, I just noticed this now and learned and upgraded it." AI: "Because STFU!"
is the "ending life as we know it" part in the title on purpose or an accident? because there is a book called "life as we knew it" where the moon also shifts and gets closer to the earth and i thought that was a neat coincidence :)
Did you read the whole books?? I thought the first book was great and they should've stayed with the first storyline but the 2nd was good but the 3rd one was kinda downgrade
@@robinsonnzalie8290 no, I only read the first one, but I think I looked up the other ones and just thought nah I'm good because I did not want to spoil the original story :D
So if the AI was tasked to ensure the "ancestors" survival of the species, why didn't it gave the people of earth the knowledge/technology of the ancestors to survive from the start? Assuming of course that the ancestors and humans of earth are the same species or even the humans are based of the ancestors
But couldn't the moon AI just tell what happened to the ancestors to simply avoid a repeat of what happened to them, surely once they know how destructive the technology can become, they would do everything to avoid repeating it?
@@xedrio298 You say that like you dont understand greedy humans and how distrustful they would be towards an alien "gift" theyd most likely try out all the technology just to be sure the thing wasn't lying or to try to harness its power or something stupid like that.
While many people argue here with their mega highly concentrated science jargons and logic beyond Disney's hunter chasing talking rabbit....meanwhile I grab my popcorns and enjoy the absurdity of the movie...cheesy one but enough amount.
If you're going to watch a movie that tells you the moon is sort of like a spaceship, then you have to be willing to accept all the other crazy situation...you have to forget about whatever knowledge you have about the real world and enjoy the special effects, etc. nice movie...thanks for the video...
my theory is that the anicent EMPs were designed differently from ours so that they did less damage to the AI (who would be an absolute idiot if he didn't think about at least EMP-proofing itself). The moon probably saw our new EMPs and was like "Oh shit that was pretty smart, why didn't we think of that?" and decided to upgrade it.
I like how its a sci fi movie and humanity is the basically at the same level of advancement as it is now Edit: another thing is that this defies our whole human history
Yes i found this movie on youtube...was ok..but some of the main characters were not even bothered by the distructive end of the world, they had their own problems😅
The moon being a massive alien space ship was actually a pretty cool idea. Too bad we never got to see any of those alien fighters in action. Also, at the end, the voice over said New York was destroyed, but that was actually nowhere near New York. The top of the building was just carried across Earth.
They mention that the aliens were ancient humans that were wiped out by the AI and just before they were wiped out they were able to launch the moon structure to earth.
I don't have trouble with suspension of disbelief at the hollow moon thing, I have trouble with the suspension of physics that makes 2012 and day after tomorrow look 100% accurate.
wait... why does the backstory of the ancient race sound like the halo backstory, ancient race lives with advanced technology, ancient race creates superstructures, ancient race creates a weapon that turns on them, halo: ancient race creates superstructures, ancient race creates weapons of mass destruction, ancient race created ai in charge of all weaponry and it ends up getting infected turning against them... anyone else see it or is it just me ?
KC bringing his phone into the shuttle is so poorly written. For someone who cares as much as KC does and who are as calculative as KC, why the fuck would he risk the mission by using his phone.
I can’t wait for his next movie: Galaxy’s Edge. Earth is recovering from the Moonfall event when they receive intelligence that the ENTIRE UNIVERSE is sentient AND pissed at us!
There's a dwarf star at the center of the moon in the movie. And they've built dyson sphere to harness it's energy. I believe no one is stupid enough here not to know that if an object needs to become a star it has to be atleast 80 Jupiter masses. And white dwarf is the end of the star when it begins it's cool down from the white drawf to a black dwarf. So it's a mega structure which should have enough control and density to move back to it's position. The science is complete BS I'll agree to that but I love the Dyson sphere part ngl.
Eh. Its not impossible for a dwarf star to be that small, and the only requirement for that is a relatively small amount of matter in the star to begin with. Its still bs (none of the requirements for that kind of thing existed at any point in the Solar System), but theoretically it could happen somewhere (requiring an advanced civilization of course, which is dubious).
@@antibull4869 also yes it is possible for Dyson sphere to be here. If an advanced civilization decides to teraform a planet, they can as well as dyson sphere is also possible. Specially on the smaller scale.
I hate when movies show a smaller than earth object overpowering earth's gravity, making people start to fall upwards towards it. It makes no sense, as long as the earth is bigger than the other object, you wouldn't fly, you would just become lighter. Independence day 2 was the worst offender in that regard
@@vidiveniviciDCLXVI Doesn't matter. If the gravity force it generated was stronger than earth's the ENTIRE earth would be displaced by it, not just cars and passersby.
@@jul3249 How can you know that, we can't even make an anti Gravity drive let alone understand what would happen? Thus its open to sci-fi creative writing.
@@vidiveniviciDCLXVI What does that have to do with anything? We know how gravity works. If you are on the biggest planet in the world, even if the second biggest planet passes right next to it, you are still going to be drawn to the 1st biggest planet. Period. And if that second planet do be bigger, then not just you will start falling towards it, but the entirety of the planet you're on too. Any other behavior wouldn't be gravity, and in the movie they specifically said it was gravity.
Gotta love the very AMERICAN bit. So the astronaut dude had a house. But the moment he stops being an astronaut he loses the house haha. Only in america you have to keep on being an elite space faring individual to keep your house!

Too bad the moon world be completely ripped apart by earth :p before reaching, but the actual earth disasters would keep humans, so win win situation 😂
Lots of moon expert here, but are you a MOON SPACESHIP expert? Remember this is not a moon, its a structure so your explanation of its physics might not work here, if the ancient humans were able to come up against those limiting physics. 🤣
It’s a good movie! Some parts of the movie are explained in the wrong order though, like when Sonny gets trapped by a fallen tree, the narrator goes directly into the part when the team inside the moon has destroyed the AI swarm.
@@Free_Russian i mean why people cant enjoy things lol,its a movie,its called science FICTION,not scientifically accurate,im not denying inaccuraties but still it entertained me

Moon: I come from a human civilization with tech far beyond your imagination *Ancient advanced civilization:* Scientists: My idea is to create a device that shuts down all electronics. Public:...So does that also mean the Wifi will go out? Cause if so I like the Moon idea better.
I just realized that most of the people who watch this are really just trying to avoid going to watch it themselves but I watch because there’s often too much happening in movies that now I need a recollection of events that transpired
I highly suggest watching the full movie- it’s so good so we’ll thought out and I was into it the entire time I was watching. It’s so different than the movies of the genre that have been made. Very good.
Regardless of how unrealistic some of this stuff is, I always liked the "Billions of years ago, Humans were advance" trope. Thats actually how I got more into Halo lol.
Alright to be honest me myself a space nerd is also mad about the whole deal of the moon even making it to the earth as everyone else is complaining but I mean, it’s a movie, plus everyone watching it would probably be disappointed just to see the moon not actually crash so the director probably made it like this to make it more exciting, but at least they got the birds falling dead first right since canary birds need twice as much oxygen to survive than humans or birds in general just need more oxygen to survive so I guess that’s kind of right, though about the atmosphere being sucked by the moon is a little bit off :/
I watched the movie on a flight with many turbulances. It felt like a 4d cinema and I had to do a 2 hour break because I didnt felt good. But I still think the movie is good.
This movie turned into a comedy halfway through because of how ridiculous the storyline became. It was as if every new event in the movie had to top the previous one in craziness.

@@afwdawdawdwadw1595 dude this.movoe was great. I went in expecting a comedy action film and that's exactly what I got and then some. Lighten up and enjoy the ride. It's a popcorn flic and there are rumors its going to be a trilogy. So buckle up buttercup. This rides just getting started.
Yikes. You have terrible taste
This is the ending sam deserved after season 8 of GOT
Lol, forgot where I knew him
Always remember, never combine AI and nanomachines or else you get a grey goo scenario.
Soo wait ...if the atmosphere was gone . They thought oxygen tanks would save them? I mean the atmosphere consists of alot of gases which pressurises your body , it can't work without that pressure, you'll blow up . You need the astronaut suit and a oxygen tank to survive
Trust the science.
you won't blow up from no atmospheric pressure, you just die. You just suffocate and freeze to death within a couple of minutes.
"A lot". Not "alot".
😂bhai movie hai. Dekho n maze karo . 🤪

Everyone: "the moon is mysteriously heading towards the earth"
Meanwhile with kurzgesagt: black magic
Man do I find your videos calming. Perfect for chiling out the evening after a workday...
In the early 21st century M. Night Shamwow (sp?) made a movie about aliens allergic to water who come to Earth. A planet practically saturated with the stuff, and doing so _naked._ They also had no way of dealing with locked wooden doors and their communication was based on crop circles. It was going to be hard to make a more scientifically illiterate movie and these folks may have done just that.
I love Signs...
Watched it like 6 times. Each time I wonder why they came to a planet mostly made of water... 😆
Imagine the water base warfare.
Dude signs was my childhood, one of my very first alien movies
@@giga_chad9 Just think, there could be children today who will say the same things you just said. Only it'll be about this movie.
If it's any consolation, one potentially cool thing about these aliens is that *our* watery blood would be like acid to them.
(Seriously though, didn't you wonder what the Signs aliens planned on doing when it rained? Or on those really humid days when water literally comes out of the air. Or if someone spat on them.)
@@RobotoSan lmao I never thought of that, that’s fucking hilarious, or imagine if we spat in those aliens 😂
This reminds me of “Don’t Look Up” so much. The higher ups tell everyone not to worry while they stay safe and cozy in their research headquarters. And everyone else is stranded and left to die basically
"Whether Moonfall is so bad it's good or simply bad will depend on your tolerance for B-movie cheese -- but either way, this is an Emmerich disaster thriller through and through."
"As long as you don't put too much thought into the plot, Moonfall is a fun sci-fi disaster movie."
New York being destroyed is always a happy way to end any movie 😀
Thanks, Osama.

AI: "Oh thats an EMP, I know that technology so I upgrade it."
Hero: "So why didnt the smartass humans used it before?"
AI: "Because it would kill this moon that was youre birth cradle lol"
AI: "Because they were so reliant on technology they would have died after wiping it away anyways."
AI: "Because we didn't had this technology as we werent a war like race, I just noticed this now and learned and upgraded it."
AI: "Because STFU!"
💀
is the "ending life as we know it" part in the title on purpose or an accident? because there is a book called "life as we knew it" where the moon also shifts and gets closer to the earth and i thought that was a neat coincidence :)
Did you read the whole books?? I thought the first book was great and they should've stayed with the first storyline but the 2nd was good but the 3rd one was kinda downgrade
@@robinsonnzalie8290 omg I haven't read those books in forever
Because they are including truth into the storyline. It's not coincidence. Moon 🌝 is an artificial satellite.
@@robinsonnzalie8290 no, I only read the first one, but I think I looked up the other ones and just thought nah I'm good because I did not want to spoil the original story :D
I read all the books I was like wow super crazy
You always have the best movies, you never fail to show a great movie. I consider this the most ledget movie essay channel out there. Thanks
Love this recap thanks bro keep the good work up :)
So if the AI was tasked to ensure the "ancestors" survival of the species, why didn't it gave the people of earth the knowledge/technology of the ancestors to survive from the start? Assuming of course that the ancestors and humans of earth are the same species or even the humans are based of the ancestors
But couldn't the moon AI just tell what happened to the ancestors to simply avoid a repeat of what happened to them, surely once they know how destructive the technology can become, they would do everything to avoid repeating it?
@@xedrio298 You say that like you dont understand greedy humans and how distrustful they would be towards an alien "gift" theyd most likely try out all the technology just to be sure the thing wasn't lying or to try to harness its power or something stupid like that.
@@xedrio298 the AI understands humans better than humans do
Reaper logic
Because they needed to quit using said technology to hide from the ai. It was hunting down organics in or around an electrical item/environment
So your telling me It took ten years for them to decide to look at the footage from the very first scene😭
Damn government red tape.
Don’t forget that they make this man lost almost everything knowing that he was telling the truth 😂😂😂😂
While many people argue here with their mega highly concentrated science jargons and logic beyond Disney's hunter chasing talking rabbit....meanwhile I grab my popcorns and enjoy the absurdity of the movie...cheesy one but enough amount.
If you're going to watch a movie that tells you the moon is sort of like a spaceship, then you have to be willing to accept all the other crazy situation...you have to forget about whatever knowledge you have about the real world and enjoy the special effects, etc. nice movie...thanks for the video...
I still cant get over that the Magic alien race couldnt stop the bad AI, but an emp from the 90s. that shit hits the spot.
Trusty ol 90's tech always works
my theory is that the anicent EMPs were designed differently from ours so that they did less damage to the AI (who would be an absolute idiot if he didn't think about at least EMP-proofing itself). The moon probably saw our new EMPs and was like "Oh shit that was pretty smart, why didn't we think of that?" and decided to upgrade it.
I like how its a sci fi movie and humanity is the basically at the same level of advancement as it is now
Edit: another thing is that this defies our whole human history
I love all the movie recaps. No need to watch the full movie but recap is enuf and his recap is the best of all.❤️❤️❤️
Yes i found this movie on youtube...was ok..but some of the main characters were not even bothered by the distructive end of the world, they had their own problems😅
4:25 I'm watching this at midnight and I lost it at this part this is the funniest thing I've heard in so long
The shuttle reaches the moon?
No, the moon reaches the shuttle.
@@fernandoferreira6293 ahh thanks
Sends the probe down the hole 😂
Just woke up and watched this part again, can confirm it is not as funny as it was last night
The moon being a massive alien space ship was actually a pretty cool idea. Too bad we never got to see any of those alien fighters in action.
Also, at the end, the voice over said New York was destroyed, but that was actually nowhere near New York. The top of the building was just carried across Earth.
Movie name plz
@@numaanahmed9542 Moonfall
They mention that the aliens were ancient humans that were wiped out by the AI and just before they were wiped out they were able to launch the moon structure to earth.
@@Omar-kl3xp still ridiculous. I really wonder how’s the logic work in Hollywood. Even Oscar level actors didn’t give a fck 🤦♂️
They were not aliens, they were us running from the AI they created.
Imagine existence is in danger and the only person that hears the news is a gift shop worker and thinks it’s a joke… 💀😭
I don't have trouble with suspension of disbelief at the hollow moon thing, I have trouble with the suspension of physics that makes 2012 and day after tomorrow look 100% accurate.
Wow Brenda really left her husband and didn't believe him .... I hope even my enemies won't be involved with someone like her
wait... why does the backstory of the ancient race sound like the halo backstory, ancient race lives with advanced technology, ancient race creates superstructures, ancient race creates a weapon that turns on them, halo: ancient race creates superstructures, ancient race creates weapons of mass destruction, ancient race created ai in charge of all weaponry and it ends up getting infected turning against them... anyone else see it or is it just me ?
Because it is. Watching it seeing the Rings, I literally yelled "this is fucking Halo". They weren't even trying to be subtle about it. 💀
KC bringing his phone into the shuttle is so poorly written. For someone who cares as much as KC does and who are as calculative as KC, why the fuck would he risk the mission by using his phone.
i have seen this movie over 10 times and it keeps getting better and better , i see things that i missed and keep watching it ..
The genre of this movie is the end of the world when most people is simply enjoying life.Good movie anyway.
The moon comes crashing into earth and what do you do then? It’s two brothers it’s called two brothers.
I can’t wait for his next movie: Galaxy’s Edge.
Earth is recovering from the Moonfall event when they receive intelligence that the ENTIRE UNIVERSE is sentient AND pissed at us!
There's a dwarf star at the center of the moon in the movie. And they've built dyson sphere to harness it's energy. I believe no one is stupid enough here not to know that if an object needs to become a star it has to be atleast 80 Jupiter masses. And white dwarf is the end of the star when it begins it's cool down from the white drawf to a black dwarf. So it's a mega structure which should have enough control and density to move back to it's position. The science is complete BS I'll agree to that but I love the Dyson sphere part ngl.
Eh. Its not impossible for a dwarf star to be that small, and the only requirement for that is a relatively small amount of matter in the star to begin with.
Its still bs (none of the requirements for that kind of thing existed at any point in the Solar System), but theoretically it could happen somewhere (requiring an advanced civilization of course, which is dubious).
@@antibull4869 alot of the dwarf stars are that small. Hence the name "dwarf"
@@antibull4869 also yes it is possible for Dyson sphere to be here. If an advanced civilization decides to teraform a planet, they can as well as dyson sphere is also possible. Specially on the smaller scale.
@@Audacitycs1 i mean,movie was fun and yall are right on scientific inaccuraties,still it entertained me by being inaccurate and somewhat good lol
Dysons sphere in trek is 200 million miles in circumference.
I hate when movies show a smaller than earth object overpowering earth's gravity, making people start to fall upwards towards it. It makes no sense, as long as the earth is bigger than the other object, you wouldn't fly, you would just become lighter. Independence day 2 was the worst offender in that regard
Well to be fair independence day 2 the ships were using anti gravity drives.
@@vidiveniviciDCLXVI Doesn't matter. If the gravity force it generated was stronger than earth's the ENTIRE earth would be displaced by it, not just cars and passersby.
@@jul3249 How can you know that, we can't even make an anti Gravity drive let alone understand what would happen? Thus its open to sci-fi creative writing.
@@vidiveniviciDCLXVI What does that have to do with anything? We know how gravity works. If you are on the biggest planet in the world, even if the second biggest planet passes right next to it, you are still going to be drawn to the 1st biggest planet. Period. And if that second planet do be bigger, then not just you will start falling towards it, but the entirety of the planet you're on too. Any other behavior wouldn't be gravity, and in the movie they specifically said it was gravity.
@@jul3249 Yeah the concept is anti-Gravity, not Gravity, so whatever you talking about mass of objects is not even relevent.
Aww, KC gets his happy ever after!!! ♥️
As a landlord myself I get pissed at movie heroes always escaping without paying rent, wtf dude my family needs to eat.
You will get your rent when you fix this damn door!
Gotta love the very AMERICAN bit. So the astronaut dude had a house. But the moment he stops being an astronaut he loses the house haha. Only in america you have to keep on being an elite space faring individual to keep your house!
I honestly loved this recap 🙌
Fr right!
Thank you TH-cam for leading me to the moonfall recap and thank you Official Podcast for pushing how absolutely absurdly funny it is.
I have definitely seen this concept before.
And no I am not talking about the kurzgesagt video about if the moon crashes towards the earth.
I think it was a book called 'Life as we knew it'
15:00 thats not NY covered in snow thats the Chrysler Building that was thrown to Colorado by the Moons gravity
As history channel would say "It was aliens"
13:52 look how bad that looked… they like don’t even fall realistically they shift down
Had the misfortune to watch this in cinemas, I can only suspend my disbelief so much.
This was a good movie, watched it with my father. We love studying this stuff 💗
As the rate our society is going, our planet being destroyed by the moon would be an great relief.
Too bad the moon world be completely ripped apart by earth :p before reaching, but the actual earth disasters would keep humans, so win win situation 😂
Sam Tarly’s multiverse is amazing . In one world he helped save people from white walkers . In this movie he became a white walker !!
Lots of moon expert here, but are you a MOON SPACESHIP expert? Remember this is not a moon, its a structure so your explanation of its physics might not work here, if the ancient humans were able to come up against those limiting physics. 🤣
It’s a good movie! Some parts of the movie are explained in the wrong order though, like when Sonny gets trapped by a fallen tree, the narrator goes directly into the part when the team inside the moon has destroyed the AI swarm.
Bro even morbius made more sense
Really enjoyed it! Great effects!
It became dumber and dumber, I couldnt manage to end the movie. Thank you for the recap!
You missed the funniest moment, when Moon rolled the Earth
I don't know which movie is dumber - this one or The Great Wall.
@@Free_Russian i mean why people cant enjoy things lol,its a movie,its called science FICTION,not scientifically accurate,im not denying inaccuraties but still it entertained me
Why did TH-cam update was like this on screen. You can only clear all the options when you press on 'x' before if you touch anywhere on the screen and options would been gone
Is there any option to get rid of it. It's frustrating 😅
10 minutes narration of a movie from Movie Recaps is a whole movie❤️☺️
Nice Job KC!
Moon: I come from a human civilization with tech far beyond your imagination
*Ancient advanced civilization:*
Scientists: My idea is to create a device that shuts down all electronics.
Public:...So does that also mean the Wifi will go out? Cause if so I like the Moon idea better.
Producers: "how much CGI and deus ex machina do you want in your movies?"
Roland Emmerich: "yes"
I like how he said they found New York destroyed and covered in snow 😂😂😂that’s normal
I just realized that most of the people who watch this are really just trying to avoid going to watch it themselves but I watch because there’s often too much happening in movies that now I need a recollection of events that transpired
I highly suggest watching the full movie- it’s so good so we’ll thought out and I was into it the entire time I was watching. It’s so different than the movies of the genre that have been made. Very good.
What is the name of movie?
@@dhawalchhindam8545 Watch the first 10s of the recap and you'll find out
@@T_Toiton i actually didn't wanted any spoilers...so I avoided watching it 🙂
@@dhawalchhindam8545 moonfall bs
Great video ,can you say how you are converting one whole film into a single video?
The writers of this movie must have been tripping on acid.
Loved the recap and the movie..great ending
I don’t really care what anybody says about the movie, I liked it a lot actually.
Even darth vader agrees
Regardless of how unrealistic some of this stuff is, I always liked the "Billions of years ago, Humans were advance" trope. Thats actually how I got more into Halo lol.
Alright to be honest me myself a space nerd is also mad about the whole deal of the moon even making it to the earth as everyone else is complaining but I mean, it’s a movie, plus everyone watching it would probably be disappointed just to see the moon not actually crash so the director probably made it like this to make it more exciting, but at least they got the birds falling dead first right since canary birds need twice as much oxygen to survive than humans or birds in general just need more oxygen to survive so I guess that’s kind of right, though about the atmosphere being sucked by the moon is a little bit off :/
That was Sweet!
I haven't seen that one before, different plot twist than I expected
Movies like this usually end up a disaster or of everybody is killed ending in abyss . It ends with hope for the future and I liked that !!
Went and saw this in theaters when it came out and it was amazing
This is what some conspiracy theorist think reality is like
7:33 the moon absolutely has enough gravitational pull to effect plate tectonics and if the was a documentary they’d say as much.
we need a moonfall sequel!!
I don’t think so
Wow what a great video. Thanks a lot man.
It’s just called 2 brothers 😂
the craziness from light to insane is wonderful!
Inaccurate, kurtzgezaggazuttsagt said that the moon will crumble into peices before reaching earth 🤬😡🤬
Thanks you for making these!
This movie was written by an AI running early machine learning code.
CHANGE MY MIND.
I think this is so good keep it up Movie recaps:) xoxo:/
Risks the world because “he trusts his wife” great
This was like if Samwell Tarly graduated and moved onto bigger things like using gravity to slingshot into space following Matt Damon’s lead 😂
So…is it safe to say that the moon was haunted ?
im coming for you
Love the work you do
Wondering if the movie takes itself seriously or is it meant to be comedy as well?
Synonymous. Like politics.

I watched the movie on a flight with many turbulances. It felt like a 4d cinema and I had to do a 2 hour break because I didnt felt good. But I still think the movie is good.
