Juuust look at all you philistines...


I thought this was a good movie. Especially the revelation within the moon. Sure it had plot holes you could fist with both hands, and some fall apart humour, but it was a great way to spend an arvo.

Come here to see what others think, and they expected the best movie evar. Some sort of apocalyptic drama that astonishes all who witness it. Jesus wept, out of all the dross coming to us these days, in a world full of reeeeeee and fancy pant people wanting their slice of the cake without having had to pay for it, this made me smile.

I read the reviews on imdb first, and everyone bagged it. but I thought, meh, why not... and I am glad I did.

It's not a brain teaser, but not every fricken movie has to be. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And this, while not being a Cuban cigar, was a quite pleasant cigar to romp around with having a few bevvies.

"It's all the ELE movies combined into one, blah blah blah" So fuckin' what? It's better than 99% of most of the dross we go to see. "I say, this movie was not my cup of tea, I shall go back to watching Downton Abbey. Leave this rubbish to the weak minded folk, haw haw haw."

At least in my opinion, seeing as I'm not sitting there in a 5 million dollar mansion, sipping expensive brandy and guffawing at the plight of the peons beneath me.

Get off your high horses you plebs...

I give it 8 out of 10. minus 2 simply for the fact it did have some dire humour and it's bloody hot today.

my 2c.

I agree with you. I enjoyed the movie.

I didn’t read your whole diatribe, but ultimately it comes down to acting. The acting just wasn’t very good at all.

What do you want here? Yes it’s a very entertaining 5/10. For that rating you can excuse the bad acting and gaping plot holes. Are you searching for why people can’t rate it 10/10?

no attention span, huh? diatribe, lol.. books must confuse you no end.

I agree with you. And ignore his comments about no attention span. No amount of time should be spent reading that drivel in its entirety. You gave it the time it deserved, and then your time spent doing anything else would have been more efficient.

I enjoyed some bits of it, and the ending was surprising (in a good way). But while I can understand this is made for pure entertainment, and for the sake of it Emmerich use to completely ignore science (among other things), still there're "easy" things he got wrong. Like the lighting on non-cgi scenes, looks extremely unnatural. You can't f*ck it up like that, even on an extremely low budget.

agreed, Moonfall is a very fun ride, and waaay better than that stupid woke predator movie which has imdb of 7.2.
