There was just too much going on.

Honestly the Ai and moon ship premise is enough for a movie or game because an Ai that’s powerful enough to crush an advanced interstellar civilization that’s several magnitudes more advanced and powerful than us easier than skynet ever could,that’s older than the solar system could easily be considered a cosmic horror. Any official would cover up the nanites existence because it would realistically be the child of skynet and a Reaper from mass effect. You can’t overcome but only put it back to sleep

Can't wait for Moonfall 2: Sunfall

This is one of those movies you have to go into with the right attitude. Don't expect it to be great. Expect it to take itself too seriously. And have fun with it. I enjoyed watching it but I knew what I was getting myself into. It does have some cool ideas and the CGI was good enough to add decent visuals to those ideas. It's worth watching while you are doing something else, or if you just want to have some fun with a movie.

Each year, for my birthday, my sister drops around to watch a movie with me. This year we had both seen adverts for this movie and kept texting each other about how excited we were for it, since it looked like the sort of glorious ridiculousness we adored. Oh, we were not prepared for just how amazing it would be. The movie just kept escalating until we couldn't stop laughing about it. One of the best birthday movies I've had in ages. :D

Have you ever watched a movie and suddenly it ends and you realize you were so absorbed in the movie you didn't realize how much time had passed. Like you were almost PART of the movie? I recently wanted an older movie and had this happened to me. Then I realized how often it used to happen in the past and how seldomly it happens to me now in the present with modern movies. I just can't watch a modern movie without them doing something so offensive or uncomfortable that I get completely pulled out of the experience like every 2 minutes. NO IMMERSION.

My favorite part was when that kid was stuck under the tree and his friend came to help him after he fell 9,000 feet into a canyon. Of course, he's unharmed, just stuck under a big assed log. Then the moon "rose" and his friend says "the moon is helping us!" - which is super brilliant writing, by the way - and the tree gets lifted off of him but he stays on the ground. And of course, every other object - including trains and building-sized boulders are flying all around them but they are standing around like they are chatting in the parking lot of 7-Evelen.

LOL it took me about 2/3 through the vid to realize that by "Rolan de Merrick" you're referring to Roland Emmerich... 🤣 Great review!

I also watched Moonfall on a plane. When this review video came up as recommended, I had to really tap into my memory banks to remember if I had actually watched the movie or not.

I'm going to be totally honest, I loved this movie. It was AWFUL.

It took me half way through this video to realise that I'd seen this movie; not because I remember anything about the plot but because I vaguely recognise the faces of the actors in particular compositions, in the same way that you might recall a crack in the pavement in a street you once walked down before. I think my brain had almost completed the process of totally eradicating this film from my memory banks until I watched this.

So f'ing true. Such a good setup and then a race to absolute trash

This film is absolutely bonkers, but I love it 🤡. It sometimes makes me think of a visual version of Musique Concrete, as if the editor cut it up into random parts, threw it into the air then picked up some random bits and just duct-taped them together. Or literally phoned in the editing. I get that feeling with some of these Chinese Money movies. They look fantastic, but something is definitely lost in translation. And I still don't understand why Chunkyboi is English. I must have been laughing so hard I missed that bit of exposition.

7:38 - I had the OPPOSITE feeling the first time I saw "Plan 9 From Outer Space", not knowing its (not quite famous at this time) horrible reputation as the "worst movie ever made", I was looking at Lugosi, Vampirella, and Tor Johnson, and I thought I was really in for a cool movie, and wondering why it was om TV at 3 in the morning!!

They complained about every conceivable thing, including that it had Jaye Davidson from The Crying Game in it as if that actor wasn't supposed to be in anything else ever again after he was in The Crying Game. Anyway, I remember thinking even as a 14-year-old boy that they didn't know what they were talking about and that that movie was awesome. Of course, the movie gave rise to the series, which is still one of the best sci-fis of all time. Siskel and Ebert were so pretentious and misguided. Ebert liked Prometheus if that tells you anything.
