Looks interesting, but I think I need another trailer to decide just how interesting it is to me. Right now it's at I'll wait until it hits Netflix to watch it. Aside from the moon looking like it's going to crash into the Earth and all sorts of bad things are happening because of it, I really have no idea of what's happening or what this movie is really about.

Did anyone see aliens? Are the ones who pushed the moon out of orbit?

Of course. Aliens want to smash the Moon into the Earth because it obstructs their view of Venus and they don't have an illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator.

If the aliens come out dressed like Marvin the Martian, I'm going to see this.

I still remember seeing the trailer for Independence Day in the theater. The scene where the skyscraper explodes and the cars fly towards the camera. One of the most exciting things I ever saw up to that time in a movie. And I've seen almost every sci-fi/ fantasy movie before that. These types of effects are so common now, it's like Yawn. They do nothing for me. It's like I've been desensitized to the spectacle. Now give me a good character film, with good acting and direction, and I'm transfixed. Now even modern takes on color and light turn me off. That stupid teal/orange style is an example. If a movie starts with that garbage I just turn it off. I could take the weird color of the Matrix, because it was supposed to be a virtual world, most of the time. But since then everything is filmed like that, or some variation of it. We get it you're edgy and cool. Sorry don't know where that came from. Had nothing to do with Moonfall, except maybe Roland Emmerich. Can't sleep, carry on , ; )

That's really the problem though, far too many movies are all about the spectacle and not about the story. Michael Bay movies are all about the explosions but the movie itself is just forgettable trash. It's one of many ways that Hollywood has gone completely sideways. They're not making good movies, they're just making spectacles for stupid, gullible people.
Disaster movies are all the same. It's a fairly bland concept and as a genre there's very little you can do with it. At least other genres have diversity enough to have subgenres within them. What do disaster movies have? Nothing. I liked Independence Day as a kid but I tried watching it years later and I couldn't get into it. All of Roland's films are the same to me.
Meh. Why are they flying shuttle still? We could not fly one even if we ripped it out of a museum.
A typical Emmerich: Top and epic special effects and pictures; will include a family-storyline; physics will be ignored for better effects; worldwide desaster will be visible only in america; a patriot (if not the president itself or one of his family-members) will save the day and raise the american flag at the end; if the whitehouse will be destroyed in the story we will see it's rebuild in the end (maybe this time as a spacestation).
So take the popcorn, switch of the brain and watch it ;-)
But otherwise, after the the ridiculous "Cars in Space" also known as the newest Fast & Furious it will be a scientific lesson...
