Director: Roland Emmerich
Cast: Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Donald Sutherland
10 years after their Space Shuttle mission went mysteriously wrong, two former astronauts team up with an amateur scientist when the Moon leaves its orbit and heads towards Earth. While they are saving the planet, their family members cannot decide if they should run for their lives or stop and view the spectacle. Roland Emmerich has become known for his disaster and science fiction spectacles, which are often dumb and sometimes entertaining, and now he attempts to combine these two genres into one movie. The story starts with scenes of destruction, which are reminiscent of The Day After Tomorrow and 2012. The second half, on the other hand, is closer to Stargate and Independence Day. On the whole, this is a weird, occasionally confusing, and frequently stupid mishmash, which doesn't really work. That explains why the movie was such a massive box office flop.
