Moonfall
Directed by Roland Emmerich
Written by Roland Emmerich, Harold Kloser, Spencer Cohen
Starring Patrick Wilson, Halle Berry, John Bradley
Release Date February 4th, 2022
Moonfall stars the charisma vacuum that is Patrick Wilson, continuing in his astonishing magic trick, fooling the world into seeing him as a movie star. Wilson plays a NASA astronaut, Brian, who, while debating the lyrics of the song Africa by Toto, because random counts as a personality in a movie like Moonfall, sees a massive alien destroy the satellite he’s working on, killing a fellow astronaut.
Through the necessity of the plot, Brian’s best pal back in the ship, Jo (Halle Berry), was knocked unconscious and did not see the alien Brian claims destroyed the satellite. Brian manages to fly the damaged ship back to Earth but is blamed for the failure of the mission and is left disgraced and broke. This is so he can needlessly play the cliché of someone whose bills all have final notice on them and lay face up on a table in place of an actual character. Jo meanwhile goes on to become the head of NASA and if you want her to have any more personality than simple competence, too bad.
