- Moonfall, yet another disaster movie directed by Roland Emmerich, may be one of the dumbest films I've seen in my entire life. So let's have a bit of a laugh, shall we?

Honestly, the government cutting the program for budgetary reasons is the most plausible part of the movie.
What? I have never known a government to cut a program for budget reasons. Government expands to use all available resources.
I think they might have been shoving the proverbial Overton Window straight through the Fourth Wall, there, in describing the government's cutting of the actual "Moonfall Movie" program.
In any event, just like any other example of questionable government spending, this movie likely will be set to pay for itself once the Bank of England goes belly up.
That was a joke.
Pretending to be in space is pretty expensive I guess. (NASA not this film).
Didn't something like that happen in George Lucas's THX?
@@revcrussell no...they cut what the current leaders can to steal for their own programs. Thats why I totally buy this explanation.
There's something so pure about a movie that's bad for reasons BEYOND spreading The Message, it almost makes me want to watch it out of spite....almost.
I'll admit, I liked it when I saw it on the big screen.
I saw it and it's so freaking bad, it's actually quite entertaining. The only missing thing from Moonfall is a Princess Leia style CGI Leslie Nielsen as a support character.
Ah yes the good old days
Tis was okay.
Dew it
I watched this movie on opening weekend in a full theater and it was honestly the best theater experience I’ve had in years. By the half way point, the whole theater was roaring with laughter at just about every line of dialogue and plot point. Brilliant movie if you watch it like a comedy.
Dude same. I could not take this movie seriously. it almost felt like this was a satire.
I completely agree! Once I saw the moon scraping the Earths atmosphere, I cried to hysteria. Damn near needed an inhaler! All those satellites destroyed and NASA and the Air Force all operating like normal. Why would ANYONE attempt to take this movie seriously? It's absolutely hilarious.
Yea you can't go into this movie expecting a serious masterpiece
@@tisbonus Sharknado on steroids!!
@@earthwalker7992 yep. Guilty as charged brutha! Ian Ziering, lol.
Fun Fact: Much of this movie was filmed just in the outskirts of a north east suburb of Montreal, called Mascouche, a town I work in but don't live in. I drove by the set numerous times heading and leaving work during October to December 2020. The reason Sutherland was brought in is because he actually lives there and they were still having hard ons for restrictions so it was simply close by convenience.
Wait they filmed this in mascouche ?? 😆 and suterland lives in mascouche ? Well I learn new things everyday
@@xminusone1 Yes, filmed in Mascouche industrial park where the old airport used to be and near the SQ station. They filmed at the highway 25/640 curve exit hugging all the way to exit hauteur Charles-Aubert. Sutherland lives in Montreal but it's a 25 minute drive.
I knew there was a reason why this movie was so bad.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 Studio interference? Bad script writing? Terrible plot? Doubt the filming location was the issue.
No one asked
The part where cows jumped over the moon to say "It's milking time" brought me to tears
The morbin' meme has been beaten dead and buried let it go!
@@sneakertsar ?? Memes will never be dead, they've been a thing forever, just in different formats.
I liked the bit where the moon AI says "it's mooning time"
@@gianna526 think theyre just talking about that meme specifically
I like it when the bad A.I assembled all the infinity-brainchips Elon Musk created and snapped the Glove after saying _" I am inedible. "_
As someone once said: " I walked out from this movie and I was watching it mid-flight"
*gigglefits*
🤣🤣👏
LMAO!
Hello sweet death and good luck everyone!
"I walked out from this movie and I was on a TransPacific flight"
“In space no one can hear you cringe.” Ha!!!! Love it! 😆 More clever than anything in any movie I’ve seen lately.
No one can hear you fart either. Speaking from experience.
As a man once said, "It's better than going to the airport."
I was at a friend’s house and he has a lot of kids. They’re high energy and low attention span. He had Moonfall playing on loop in the background and the big flashy images and noises kept them distracted allowing him a couple hours of peace. That’s the sole purpose of this movie.
That whole generation are going to continue to make films like this. Sigh
@@wickedlester5320 look on the brightside, atleast it ain't wokeshit lol.
I was surpised just how bad the Film was.
They had a C-Theorist as an 'underdog' and there were so many Plot Holes
but most of all: Technobabble? The Thing that not only Samantha Carter
but Sci Fi OVERALL makes Fun of?!
Thanks for the tip
@@wickedlester5320 Nah they will grow and they will learn. 😂
This movie was glorious. F’ing glorious. From the absurd product placement that’d make Austin Powers blush, to the infused Chinese propaganda via the funding, and that’s before we even get to the ludicrous story that is bat shite crazy turned up to 22.
But remember: in the event of an emergency, one can always wheel a gang graffitied space shuttle out of a landfill and it’ll just launch into space no problem. Or something
Yeah, man. You get it. This drinking fool doesn't know how to turn his brain off and just bathe in the epic absurdity of a Roland Emmerich movie.
Except the product placement actually worked in Austin Powers and was hilarious, like Wayne’s World for example.
@@cabbagereloaded3910 True, ever heard of 2012?
That movie is one of THE disaster movies of all time.
He has something of a hard-on for China doesn't he? 2012 had China building all the humanity saving ships in that as well.
How about that sequel tease?
The Ruffalo cut was savage AF 😂
I think "Big Dumb Disaster Movies" might be my official favorite genre. I enjoyed the hell out of 2012, Armageddon and Independence Day among others. I saw Moonfall and thought it was an ok movie but then I realized about a week later I couldn't remember ANY of it:/
😂😂😂all I remember were odd cuts and horrendous acting, especially from the kids.
Those older ones seemed to still have memorable moments. I wonder if it is because they were the first ones or were actually good is why they are remembered. Because I don’t want to close my eyes
I spit out my tea when he said the government would rather spend money on diversity and inclusion than a weapon to combat a highly intelligent alien tech 🤣🤣
Have you ever worked for a government agency or corporation? Getting a pay raise or proper training is an uphill struggle 2x over but they shoot cash out of a howitzer at diversity officers and HR programs.
@@Lonovavir But the diversity programs allows them to virtue signal. Giving their employees a payrise however does not look so sexy in comparison.
@@Lonovavir I do actually currently work for a government agency and it's thrown in our faces (diversity) constantly and what they are doing for inclusion... but you want a bonus? You want a raise? Promotion? It honestly depends on the agency, but the one I work that's a long shot!
I hear it’s getting bad in the Navy now. I like how one Drill Sargent makes fun of the situation. th-cam.com/video/-gp7ZsJKjQA/w-d-xo.html
I love this film, it`s almost genius. At every step when I was trying to predict just how stupid they would go, it surpassed my predictions and went even dumber. It`s amazing.
I would rather have this movie over a boring movie any day
Agreed. I couldn't stop watching it. My personal favourite is how the moon gets to 80% of the earths gravity, which somehow lifts things off the earth (which is by default 100% gravity), but doesn't effect all things equally or even consistently. Pure magic.
I found the silliness refreshing
I agree. In Fact, I am disappointed that Alex Jones or a character based on him was not in it. I look at it as the moon burned down all the Leftist shit holes before AntifA could! winning! And it shows the levels of retardation in Commiefornia! But, I will admit I find the Irish myths talking about life and an age before the moon arrived interesting in itself. Plus, if God is real and he had Watchers, where else would they be besides the moon? Which is hollow by the way. We shot an impactor missile into and record it "ring."
It's just so bad it's absolutely entertaining to watch
To quote Mark Kermode (admittedly when talking about a different film):
"This film is so stupid it makes Geostorm look like a subtle yet hard hitting documentary about climate change"
Was he talking about Sharknado? 🤣
"In space no one can hear you cringe"; THE CRITICAL DRINKER
The "Mark Ruffalo is an insufferable twat" line made me choke-laugh on my food. Then happened again at the term "thinking meat" to describe your brain
That tweet though, interesting that Israel is the only issue that can make him back down.
hmmm.
@@meatpuppet5036 That's the tweet of a man who received a very serious phone-call about his future in Hollywood
Nah it was funny I laughed hard too😂
I was playing pool and fucked up my shot laughing at that. 🤣
@@meatpuppet5036 I mean, his apology wasn't wrong, he just can't seem to apply the same logic to his rants on MAGA Republicans. 🤷♂️
Moonfall is kinda like a different version of Armageddon… a version whose mother was also it’s sister and was raised with thin oxygen.
Fetal alcohol syndrome edition.
This really specific but also, really accurate.
Moonfall's biggest problem is that it doesn't have enough Aerosmith

I think this is my favorite Critical Drinker review so far. I was laughing so hard.
Nothing will ever top The Drinker ripping on Game of Thrones🤣
my husband made me watch this. I left at the end. i had NO CLUE what happened...and continued to live my life NOT caring to ever find out. However, I had to watch your review
You left your husband over this movie? I don't blame you.
Someone too dumb for it it seems. How is it the movies fault if YOU don't get it if everyone gets it?
Let's be honest if a man has judgment so bad they watch this movie they should be left.
I loved the scene when the moon said: "I guess i was the Moonfall after all..." and monfalled all over the bad guys, very emotional, another great adaptation of Tolkien's work
Stunning and brave
"It's Moonfall time!" made me tear up.
This does.... Bring a smile to my face...
Muh guhl Gladrielelele
when the Maverick said to the iceman "you can be my Moonfall anytime" powerful moment...
It's really unfortunate that established actors are only left with this to work with
Many deserve this.
@moonFall it's as if you knew I love cooking. Thank you
Eff 'em. They could decline the script and finance their own projects. They just don't care.
Really sad. I’m playing the world’s smallest violin for the adult pretenders
Fuck that. They asked for it. This is what happens when you have no standards.
I love the fact that the swarm of nanobots that can simply go anywhere by flying has to turn into a creature like appearance with legs to move around.
I really loved this movie despite the obvious draw backs. It was entertaining as hell.
When this movie came out I was waiting to hear back from the job I really wanted. To distract myself I ended up buying a ticket to this movie. Halfway into the movie, were everyone is inside the hotel, I got a call that I got the job. I was the only person in that theater and I was so excited that I got the job that I ended up watching that entire movie. So now this movie has some type of emotional weight for me. Crazy
That's how people get over-invested in crap. Some emotional thing happens while this song, movie, whatever is playing. So it bonds them to it. Very normal.
Congrats on the job!
I took a girl to a movie for a first date and we watched Battlefield Earth. Ugh. Then we got married and now I have an emotional attachment to that steaming pile of garbage.
@@Brekfastmachine Yikes, lol! Did you both become Scientologists? 😄
@@Brekfastmachine LOL!
Quite possibly the greatest film ever made, we just aren't ready as a species to appreciate this film.
You get lost on your way to a Morbius film review mate?
So this isn't a parody? Thought maybe it was satire like Starship Troopers , which was panned at the time but is fantastic.
I liked when the main character said "Oh yeah, it's Moonfallin' time"
Greatest line ever
It can't be better than sharknado
@@BazukinBelyugovich Bruce Willis in The Fifth Element.......
"It's Korben time"
Because you lowered my expectations so much, I watched it tonight and actually quite enjoyed it - Merry Christmas!
I wish they made moonfall a 10 episode miniseries, they took liberties with the science but to me it was a very interesting premise, they could have made an entire season just on finding out the moon is a ship, a second season on all the obstacles of returning to the moon, and going there, and a third on fighting the AI. There was just too much going on.
Honestly the Ai and moon ship premise is enough for a movie or game because an Ai that’s powerful enough to crush an advanced interstellar civilization that’s several magnitudes more advanced and powerful than us easier than skynet ever could,that’s older than the solar system could easily be considered a cosmic horror. Any official would cover up the nanites existence because it would realistically be the child of skynet and a Reaper from mass effect. You can’t overcome but only put it back to sleep
Is amazing how Emerrich really combined all his previous movies in one, aliens, disasters, big monster and ancient civilization and fail in every single one
Moonfall is essentially halo but you remove the forerunners, the flood, precursors and covenant and just focus on humanity.
@@jonathanathor117 or rather that's the easiest way to wrap your mind around it probably.
might have worked back in the 90s but he hasnt changed his tune in 30 years one trick director :P
emmerich movies were my guilty pleasure, mainly for the first 45-60 minutes, the set up... once he stopped doing that and went straight to the action it all went to shit... everything he made after and including 2012 sucked balls... this is the worst.
i mean they could have at least tried with the dialogue right? they had some good actors!
My absolute favourite WTF moment in this "apocalyptically dumb" movie was when Halle Berry is saying the base is completely evacuated and there are no military personnel (to go on the shuttle mission) left and then it pretty much immediately cuts to soldiers loading stuff onto their truck. This film is one of the stupidest of all time.
Mine was when the kid stops the truck and everyone gets out to watch the lift off like they're not also in mortal danger themselves.
@@Towhomitmayconcern9293 mine when the real shuttle that exploded when a piece of ice hit it, sustains large amount of structural stress that would rip off a car
My favorite is the moon crashing in to the earth. The Roche limit is around 9800km above the earth, at which point the earth's gravity would cause the moon to break apart and it never would hit the earth as a gigantic mass.
@@neilbradley I mean, all rulles here would be thrown out the window considering the "unknown technology and science." They said the moon was literally gaining mass so any points contributing to actually physics based on what's is already known Is pretty meaningless.
@@neilbradley In the film they talk about the rouche limit (they say an incorrect limit) but being the moon an alien infrastructure (in the film of course) it doesn't break appart so in film logic is logical
Plus the moon doesn't crash in this film
History Buffs did a video on how Emmerich actually did a really good job portraying the start of America's involvement in WWII in Midway accurately and in a way that wasn't all just spectacle and set pieces. So he can still make movies talented cast and crew can be proud to put their names to. But he can also make something that sounded like a 6 year old pitched a movie idea to their drunk studio exec father.
Not gonna lie, this is a guilty pleasure to watch. I know it’s bad but it’s fun to watch.
Catwomen & Die Another Day so draw your own conclusion??? Oh Drinker... You've CLEARLY Forgotten about B.A.P.S.........
B.A.P.S.???

@@caiusmadison2996 Goccha.
Yeah, you both forgot about that bad hacker movie with Travolta and Wolverine star Hugh Jackman... at least he got to reconnect with his daughter and high tail out of there!
Moonfall is SO bad that it is WORTH watching. You just spend the whole time laughing at it and roasting it with your family. Trust me, it's one of the best rides of your life. Just watch it with a group of friends/family and don't take it too seriously.
Sounds like prime Rifftrax material.
Exactly, this movie is so good it's bad. Very watchable! :D
Like Plan 9 from Outer Space then?
I laughed so hard the entire movie. It is by far the worst movie I've ever seen.
Like Independence day! 😁
I saw your review (without watching it) and decided to give the movie a go, and then watch your review. Glad I did! The best and worst 2 hours of my life!
I loved Moonfall, for its own shear lunacy (pun intended). Its was such an insanely crazy movie that it was a lot of fun to watch. The plot was straight out of a 1950s George Pal movie or Robert Heinlein novel but with crazy A level special effects. I was a hoot full of fun.
I never thought that a movie more ridiculous than 2012 could be made, but MoonFall proved me wrong! Well done Roland, you have subverted my expectations.
More ridiculous than 2012? lmao where have you been the last 7 years in cinema... Has there even been any "decent" scifi since intersellar... what have we got at all? Ad astra... maybe and that was really meh.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Dune, Blade Runner 2049 and The Martian were good sci-fi movies.
Moonfall was still more enjoyable that Captain Marvel, The Eternals and Black Panther put together. Badness can redeem itself if you have a drink and aren't bombarded with "the message" for a couple of hours.
Did you by any chance miss "Independence Day: Resurgence"? Because that's one of the reasons I can think of for you to make that statement.
At least 2012 was somehwat entertaining...
The "science" in this film is funnier than any "comedy" I've seen in years.
"The singularity is about to explode." "Weapons at maximum!"
How is weapons at maximum going to help the situation?
I do not understand why everything in this script must inevitably explode.
Yeah, I genuinely laughed when I learned that they salvaged an old space shuttle and flied to the moon with it. The space shuttle would never be capable of reaching the moon. It was made to go no further than low earth orbit. It just isnt capable to carry enough fuel. And even if it could go somwhere further than LEO, it wouldn't have fuel to come back. It's the same bulshit as in the Armageddon. Also good luck trying to fly it manually. Space shuttle was basically a brick with little stubby wings. I also wonder how they managed to keep life support systems online or even start the engines without electricity.
@@Holtijaar in their defence on that part, the moon at that point in the movie was basically in a very close Earth orbit. Although there is no science in the movie at all.
"TrUsT tHe ScIeNcE!"
Is it modern science?
Roland Emmerich made a few of my favorites like ID4 and Stargate, and then he just started shooting ridiculous extended disaster sequences.
The weird thing is I can’t completely cut out Hope in Emmerich. He managed to redeem his s-t show ability to deal with history with Midway. So maybe just maybe he can redeem himself. I mean I could also be a North Korean jet pilot
So they have succeeded in making a sci-fi CGI spectacle even worse then Independence Day Resurgence?
That is quite an accomplishment!
Funnily enough, it's the same guy. He just 1-Up'd himself.
The CGI is great but just like games great graphics aren't everything.
"This will definitely show them I should get the rights back to stargate" Roland's thinking for every movie probably
Honestly better than Resurgence. But that's not saying much.
@@asandax6 felt empty compared to something like 2012
If you’re a alien conspiracy theorist, seeing this on screen was amazing. If you’re not deep in the weeds of conspiracy theory, you won’t appreciate this movie’s premise. I did, it was a great movie, it’s not trying to be an acting masterpiece, it’s a straight up popcorn movie, and as that, it’s fantastic.
I saw this movie for the second time the other day, and I honestly got to say it’s not that bad… It was actually really fun to watch. This movie was all over the place and honestly not in a bad way.
I feel like when I talk to a Trump voter, I don't understand how you could have liked anything about this disaster.
@@markpoidvin5382 that’s just it thou. It was so bad it’s good. Reminds me of the resident evil films. They were horrible, the action scenes were silly, the dialogue felt flat but I enjoyed it lol. Idk that’s how I felt about them.
The fact that in the end, when the son is pinned down under the tree, and the girl gets help from the moons gravity to lift the tree.. but the same gravity just leaves them alone-- it still infuriates me to this day that no one questioned that bit.
Wait, what?!
Good thing I didn't watch this movie.
Every scene from start to finish infuriated me.
You don't understand brother, she lifted the tree by praying to Allah
Imagine if the moon return to its orbit right before they lift the tree up
It says something about modern Hollywood that just "not being obnoxiously woke" now makes me regard a film as being at least "tolerable".
That's how low they've set the bar over the last 10 years.
@moonFall shut up
Aye. That was my take. No woke = bearable
@@richarddimeck4578 the good thing is, Roland Emmerich is German and we Germans think, 'woke' is a Chinese frying pan.
Even meh films from the 2000s would be considered good now. I feel like even average films and series now are made by accident, I mean if you crank out 100 stories one will be good, right?
Maybe that was the plan all along 🤔
This movie took me 4 different sittings to finish 😂. Acting was BRUTAL, and just the fact that they made this movie shows you how willingly they are to give us straight rotten movies.
Halle has been in some real stickers.
Halles "son and ex" were the worst. No emotion whatsoever from either.
I watched this movie on a plane as well, and it was very good for curing my usual in-flight insomnia.
And for the record, Patrick Wilson is an amazing singer. He played Raoul in the Phantom of the Opera film. He is also very good at sounding terrible at singing.
I love how they changed the graffiti on the shuttle from "Fuck the Moon" to "Screw the Moon" for the trailer when they could have easily just left that out.
Classic movie trailers!
"divorced and estranged from his son"
Why was he married to his son?
Reading comprehension is becoming more and more rare.
@@Smoke3380 IKR?? How does Drinker know the son is strange? LOL
Actually just watched this last night and jept thinking that they took all the acts from other disaster movies and spliced them together and then had AI develop the dialog...yet another example of how AI will eventually kill us all. Cheers!
This is one of those movies you have to go into with the right attitude. Don't expect it to be great. Expect it to take itself too seriously. And have fun with it. I enjoyed watching it but I knew what I was getting myself into. It does have some cool ideas and the CGI was good enough to add decent visuals to those ideas. It's worth watching while you are doing something else, or if you just want to have some fun with a movie.
So about that “landing the space shuttle by hand after computer failure is stupidly impossible”…
Buzz Aldrin actually had to do almost exactly that on the Gemini 12 mission - their guidance computer failed about 74 miles away from the Agena docking vehicle, and he actually did the rest of the calculations needed with his bare goddamn hands and a lone sextant.
Those early astronauts were just built different.
(Side note, you can actually purchase the hand calculations Buzz completed, they’re literally up for auction right now at Sotheby’s if you’ve got $30,000 kicking around).
TIL.
also, that's badass.
*trained differently.
Cute that you think we ever landed on the moon
Tell Scott Manley 😀
@@timothystinson9292 Cute that you think you're sentient.
This movie is the embodiement of "That escalated quickly, I mean that really got out of hands fast"
Remember when Hollywood understood that if it wanted to lure you in, it needed to give you some hot women, preferably not wearing all that much, to help you glaze over during the worst of the crap it's churning out.
All that was missing were horses and a man on fire.
And still, with everything wrong the Drinker lists, the most unbelievable thing about this movie is that someone made it on purpose (but here we are.)
Sam Neill’s Event Horizon “aaahhhHHhhhhhHhhh” NEVER gets old. Bless you Drinker.
This movie makes "The Core" look like a freakin' masterpiece. I swear, this script was probably sitting next to "The Core" on an executive's desk in 2002.
My classmates and I watched the Core back in charter grade school during our science class back around sixth grade, though I didn't watch the entire movie with a few of my classmates because we have to go to a different class at that time.
Watch your mouth, the Core IS A MASTERPIECE.
@@sinnops I cried when D.J. Qualls (Rat) uploaded his tribute. LOL
I kinda still like the core. Was not such a bad movie
Not to mention The Core also did the whole "Independent scientist finds a natural disaster issue before it's confirmed by government agency" bit as well. 😂
Have you ever watched a movie and suddenly it ends and you realize you were so absorbed in the movie you didn't realize how much time had passed. Like you were almost PART of the movie?
I recently wanted an older movie and had this happened to me. Then I realized how often it used to happen in the past and how seldomly it happens to me now in the present with modern movies. I just can't watch a modern movie without them doing something so offensive or uncomfortable that I get completely pulled out of the experience like every 2 minutes. NO IMMERSION.
Moonraker. An average movie for Bond by any measure, yet it kept up such a pace that it was only at the very end that I realized nearly two hours had passed. It actually threw me that a middling older film could do that.
Which of those movies do you like?
Damn..so you feel that way for Inception? Dunkirk? Uncut Gems? Good Time? Hereditary? Get Out? Logan? Geez man. What kinda movies are you into?
@@TheGililgi look - you can name a handful of moves, and say “see movies are good stills”
No one’s saying that no good films are made; it’s just that they are not the norm.
Pick a year, any year in the 70’s and 80’s, and google films released that year, an get blown away by how many damn classics were made.
I’m serious - do it.
We’re lucky if we get two films a year that we will be talking about twenty years from now.
I watched Top Gun Maverick and felt that exact level of immersion, it was great. But there's few recent ones to that level. I can always watch the Martian and feel that way too, just love that movie but genuinely difficult in the shitfest of CGI blockbusters to get that.
I like where he mentions spending all the budget on diversity and inclusion, instead of dealing with the real existential threat. That's where we're at, people.
The crimes against physics in this one is all I could talk about whilst watching it. Pure comedy!
Edit: one example of what I mean by it, is that gravity only acts when it's convenient for the plot and the way it acts too.
This movie has achieved meme status. It is among the best of the worst films ever made.
whats a meme?
Oh, boy. Post-peak Halle Berry by 20 years. Who could resist?
This movie feels like a relic of the late-90's/early-00's in all the *worst* ways.
Indeed.
Ikr? The way he described it I would tell you I saw iz Like 10 Yeats ago
Can't wait for Moonfall 2: Sunfall
To be fair the dude who played Jamie Lannister ( Nikolai what's his name) was in Shot Caller which is maybe one of the greatest Prison movies ever made and he has made a few more smaller movies that are great.
None of them were really destined to be giant movie stars.
I'm going to be totally honest, I loved this movie. It was AWFUL.
The logic and physics in this movie is phenomenal! I'm talking about the final moonfall scene and how the wooden shed negates the moon's gravity while everything outside it are pulled up from the earth.
quality build structures from the olden times
If it was built by Mr. Chickadee, it ain't goin' nowhere.
It still is better scifi than what we got in the halo tv show rofl let that sink in.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep I mean honestly what was that show better than in any category?
My favorite part was when that kid was stuck under the tree and his friend came to help him after he fell 9,000 feet into a canyon. Of course, he's unharmed, just stuck under a big assed log. Then the moon "rose" and his friend says "the moon is helping us!" - which is super brilliant writing, by the way - and the tree gets lifted off of him but he stays on the ground.
And of course, every other object - including trains and building-sized boulders are flying all around them but they are standing around like they are chatting in the parking lot of 7-Evelen.
Raised on Irwin Allen, I’ve come to despise Disaster Movies. As millions are crushed, burned and obliterated to forward the Plot, why should I care about the Protagonist and his lovely family as they scurry off in their miracle car? (looking at you, John Cusak)
Halfway through Moonfall, my take on the movie was "This is like if the guy that made 2012 met the guy that made Day After Tomorrow and decided to make a less realistic version of Armageddon."
Then I saw Roland Emmerich's name, did a quick IMDb sanity check, and realized this dude's high school science teacher must've committed hara-kiri by now 😆
Each year, for my birthday, my sister drops around to watch a movie with me. This year we had both seen adverts for this movie and kept texting each other about how excited we were for it, since it looked like the sort of glorious ridiculousness we adored. Oh, we were not prepared for just how amazing it would be. The movie just kept escalating until we couldn't stop laughing about it. One of the best birthday movies I've had in ages. :D
My sister and I took my parents to see "Mamma Mia" when it came out and absolutely could not stop laughing. My parents are both not with us now and we get together at Christmas and watch this once a year. It's hilarious to watch all of these A-List actors not known for their singing ability hired to sing. Highly recommend...
It sucked but I burst out laughing when they jerry rigged A FVCKN SPACE SHUTTLE INTO SPACE WITH 3 PEOPLE IN A HALF HOUR LOL. Don’t forget when the kids wait for the Tsunami, TOO OUT RUN IT in a Car Commercial 😄
This movie was the definition of " It was a movie aight "
💯💯. This is a movie that exists
@u know me shut up
Truly was the most movie of all time.
moving shapes. Yep, it was a movie.
One of the movies ever made
Surprised there wasn’t a mention of how the camera didn’t stay on one shot for longer than 5 seconds the whole movie. Insane amount of cuts and jumps at all times
Don't usually notice it in movies but boy are you right. Cut cut cut.
Its amazing that Wilson actually looked like he gave a care for all those sharknado movies and then called in for this garbage
Stargate is one of the greatest and one of the most original movies ever in my opinion, I'll always be thankful for Emerich for that.
I'm kinda annoyed that it was placed in the same category as Independence Day.
Honestly the series improved upon the movie in every conceivable way. But that's the movie that started everything.
Could not agree more. Stargate had the exact right mix of being-serious-about-its-own-premise and winking-at-the-audience that made it brilliant.
And it gave us SG-1, which I still say was a great show.
Yeah but the Hollow Moon flick didn't have involve flying the space shuttle to the moon. Stargate still had "what if?"
I remember watching Siskel and Ebert just trashing Stargate on their show right after I'd just seen it in the theater. They complained about every conceivable thing, including that it had Jaye Davidson from The Crying Game in it as if that actor wasn't supposed to be in anything else ever again after he was in The Crying Game. Anyway, I remember thinking even as a 14-year-old boy that they didn't know what they were talking about and that that movie was awesome. Of course, the movie gave rise to the series, which is still one of the best sci-fis of all time. Siskel and Ebert were so pretentious and misguided. Ebert liked Prometheus if that tells you anything.
I think this movie is so bad it’s good. I laughed all the way through and how bonkers the ending gets was really enjoyable.
@moonFall If I’m being honest, bot spam detracts from anything. Go away now
@Kurtis you too
The part where the guy refuses to help save the planet unless someone went and rescued his dumb kid really got to me.
Wait, that wasn't it... 🤔
Oh yeah. He refused to help save the planet unless his dumb kid was released from jail.
THAT makes more sense 👎
Sounds like a good time with some buddies, grab some brews or smoke a bowl and enjoy
I did too! I turned off my brain and somewhat enjoyed this shitstorm
So ancient humans could build the moon powered by a white dwarf but couldn't come up with an EMP?
How is there no critical drinker episode about Stargate? I'm perplexed...
The greatest failure of this film is the lack of any reference to Majora's Mask.
Yeah, I was hoping for at least one of them.
What a disappointment.
**DYUNG DYUNG** 3 DAYS REMAIN
That's even more surprising considering the filmmakers are familiar with video gaming. Since they obviously ripped off Prey: Mooncrash for much of the premise of this movie
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
Imagine the final hours theme playing when it seemed like all hope was lost
I liked the line where he tells his son "I want you to have a world you can grow in, so you can be a better man then me" - well yes, this Guy is an Astronaut, saved his fellow crew member, was betrayed by Nasa for doing nothing bad, yea he's a real evil person.
That's how the people in the movie see him, you're correct, just repeating what the others said already.
Maybe he meant it as an actor. "Be a better man than me, and not star in the worst overblown movies of your day."
White man bad.
He’s male, of course he’s evil, he’s male. His son will be better than him when he grows … wait, he’s male too.
Meh, plot.
@@c1ph3rpunk his son's young enough to change his gender so he's safe :-)
LOL it took me about 2/3 through the vid to realize that by "Rolan de Merrick" you're referring to Roland Emmerich... 🤣 Great review!
For what it's worth, I saw the movie in the theater, and I enjoyed the action sequences. Yes, there were some things that didn't make sense, but I had fun watching it.
I also only watched this because I was on a long flight, but it was so bad I stopped watching about an hour in. Your review shows me 1) I actually made the right decision switching to something else 2) the rest of the movie was dumber than I could have possibly imagined.
I too watched this movie on flight. I heard enough before hand not to paid hard earned money to watch this p-o-s movie.
You just did not have the right mindet. Remeber it's Pedowood making it and they want to burn everything down and force us to live in pods eating bugs as our new class of Neros rebuild larger mansions for themselves. I regret not seeing of them playing a fiddle like Nero as it all burned!
We both know you watched it. Stop trying to jive everyone lol
I also watched this on a long haul flight lol. Seems to be a recurring thing.
This film is absolutely bonkers, but I love it 🤡. It sometimes makes me think of a visual version of Musique Concrete, as if the editor cut it up into random parts, threw it into the air then picked up some random bits and just duct-taped them together. Or literally phoned in the editing. I get that feeling with some of these Chinese Money movies. They look fantastic, but something is definitely lost in translation.
And I still don't understand why Chunkyboi is English. I must have been laughing so hard I missed that bit of exposition.
Geostorm: ***worst disaster flick to come out in years***
Moonfall: "Hold my beer."
"A race to the bottom" is the perfect description of Emerich's movies.
To me, Stargate, had one of the most exciting openings and first act in movie history, but then, the race starts.
I picture Ron Burgandy as the editor on every Emerich movie, "Boy, that escalated quickly, I mean that really got out of hand fast."
Couldn't agree more. One of my all time favorite first 1/3 of a movie is Stargate. Great acting, a great sci-fi concept, lots of tension and mystery, and then it absolutely shits the bed. At least the TV series is must see TV and one I continue to watch again and again.
@@rattlhed1 Yeah, the movie needed more Goa'uld presence/backstory and less peasant villagers. A lot of the SG1 stories are much better than the movie.
Nailed stargate perfectly. Worst main bad guy antagonist casting ever also. I watched this when young and the first like 45 minutes I thought, "this is the best movie since star wars" and then it just fell down completely.
So f'ing true. Such a good setup and then a race to absolute trash
You had me at Mark Ruffalo being an insufferable twat! Very well played good drinker…
Mark Ruffalo can be a good actor, plus what good actor isn’t a little insufferable from time to time?
You’ve had Tom Cruise off his rocker yet he made Top Gun Maverick.
@@justaguyonyoutube4592 mark ruffalo the man who comes up with pet names for convicted pedos
@@justaguyonyoutube4592 Tom Cruise is miles better than Mark Ruffalo
What exactly did Mark Ruffalo do ?
@@noemiepace9020 he’s a communist and defends pedophiles, that’s what he does.
I do think the idea of the moon hiding a giant machine that was built by ancient humans from some forgotten time is really cool
Quite simply...don't stop doing this..brilliant
I remember reading a book in middle school about the moon getting knocked out of orbit and brought much closer to earth. It was a YA novel, so nothing too deep or thought-provoking there, but at least the author had the good sense to make it an asteroid that hits the moon rather than some weird, acid-fueled story about the origins of humanity, black particle AI, and the moon being some kind of base. I'd rather watch a horror movie where the moon turned out to be an egg for some eldritch space monster. Yeah, that's still dumb, but at least it's less pretentious.
amen !
Dr. Who already did that.
was a show called space 1999
They say the moon is hollow so...
I am still glad with what we got.
The pitch meeting for this movie is absolutely hilarious, you can sum it up with “Sure that may as well happen!”
"Jumping a front heavy, slow SUV from floating patch of ground to floating patch of ground like Fast and Furious is tight!"
Oh wow when I watched this I thought it was a B-Sci Fi made for TV movie. I didn't realize it was a movie released to theaters. I enjoyed it because I thought it was just another crazy SyFy channel movie like Sharknado and I watched it because I was bored. It felt like they spliced a lot of different plots into one movie. Some aspects felt like they were taken from the novel Moonseed.
I also watched Moonfall on a plane. When this review video came up as recommended, I had to really tap into my memory banks to remember if I had actually watched the movie or not.
Let's all hold a moment of silence for all of the brain cells which were senselessly killed during the making and viewing of this movie.
"Many brain cells died to bring you this information"
I finally managed to forget about this movie, thanks Drinker for reminding me.
I knew this existing again through amazon
Ha, ha, ha - never stop using that Sam Neill screaming clip, what a classic
7:38 - I had the OPPOSITE feeling the first time I saw "Plan 9 From Outer Space", not knowing its (not quite famous at this time) horrible reputation as the "worst movie ever made", I was looking at Lugosi, Vampirella, and Tor Johnson, and I thought I was really in for a cool movie, and wondering why it was om TV at 3 in the morning!!
For me, it felt like The Asylum was give $150-million (which Moonfall cost) and told "Show us what you've got!".
😂😆
Nah, _Shark Side of the Moon_ is way better than this.
@@YouTubalcaine
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOOOOOT!
It’s absolutely going to become a cult classic in a few years
Truly one of the most movies ever.
5:08 "peaceful intergalactic empire"
Does Hollywood really believe this?
No possible empire could ever be peaceful
It took me half way through this video to realise that I'd seen this movie; not because I remember anything about the plot but because I vaguely recognise the faces of the actors in particular compositions, in the same way that you might recall a crack in the pavement in a street you once walked down before. I think my brain had almost completed the process of totally eradicating this film from my memory banks until I watched this.
After watching this film for about 20 minutes or so, I gave up and returned to my alcohol addiction I gave up for a few years. At least we have The Critical Drinker to safely say: I don't want to live on this planet anymore. My dear Jameson, you were missed.
@just i c e How about I thank you now instead?
@@dannya8614 The drinker, and other rage youtubers are feeling confused now since they cant hate on House of The Dragon...
Moonfall prompted the return of the Sam Neill scream. Therefore I'm grateful for its existence.
