In an age where all blockbusters look the same and everything is nothing but another super hero Marvel bubblegum movie with zero imagination , I was not expecting to see something like Moonfall . This was really fun.
I should have learned by now that bad user reviews and low IMDb score Means that a movie is going to be really special.
The movie has many flaws. For example I don't remember the last time I came across such a boring group of secondary characters. The chemistry between characters in this story is zero and that makes the predictable subplots almost non watchable. Fortunately they are always really short segments and the main adventure never looses pace.
Where moonfal shines is , visually must be the most exciting disaster movie I ever seen. Certainly the best Emerich movie in that department.
Then there's the imaginative concept about all the alien technology, taken directly from the best of the fringe literature out there and really well used and depicted in this adventure.
This is like an action disaster movie version of Rama by Arthur Clarke too which is my favorite sci-fi novel so I enjoyed immensely the high tech aspect of the adventure.
Leave your brain at the door, ignore the complaints from all those space science nerds out there and if you like ancient aliens type stories give this one a chance. Just be aware the secondary characters are pointless. Overall this is an excellent space adventure movie which will get cult status sometime in the future.
10 out of 10 for me because I really had more fun with this one than with the entire boring marvel movies catalogue.
Ignore the bad user reviews and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised too.
