Story: In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler is convinced she has the key to saving us all - but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman believe her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find that they might have prepared for the wrong mission.

Likes: This is an incredibly underrated movie, which I am pretty sure most people will review bomb it because it is not a comic book movie or not a Disney film, they can handle fresh and creative new ideas for films, this is why films like this don't get a fair look at being great entertaining movies. Let's be honest here this is Great entertainment that, that most audiences would think is just another disaster movie, people die blur blur blur.... but in fact, this film gives moments of "WTF" in the most surprising way when you realize this isn't just a typical disaster movie. 

This film has the element of inspiration from the terminator displayed in a beautiful visual effect back story of what is actually going on, which set apart every sci-fi film known today in a beautiful narrative style of storytelling, which made this film actually more interesting and shocking to watch, which give the background to why the moon is moving.

The visual effects that Rival Chris Nolan interstellar, which make you in ore of what you're seen in a spectacular display of visual effect and sc-fi, that truly make this film stand out, the acting is on point with Hally Berry, Patrick Wilson, and John Bradley giving a believable performance which adds to the enrichment of this Sci-fi film. 

The levels of emotion this film bring with intense moments, shock and ore moments as well as the best sci-fi visual effect moments, I am confident to say that this is the first film of 2022 that has actually been a great start to the new year if you into sci-fi movies this is a film you really don't want to miss out on.

Dislikes: There are moments that are of disbelief through certain parts of the film, but it is not enough to take you out of the film.

There is one moment that Blatant looks like a Model, which if you don't notice it fine.

Overall: Great film, intense moments, worth watching 

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9.1 out of 10 for Sci-fi epic.
