He really did it, our Roland Emmerich's biggest scale yet! I watched his signature disaster film 'Moonfall'

Director/Screenplay: Roland Emmerich

I've written about a story where the moon falls before, so I was interested to see how others would handle it. But since it's an Emmerich disaster film, I think I would have watched it regardless.

I hadn't looked up anything beforehand, so I felt like I got a bonus with such a wonderful cast. Patrick Wilson, from my favorite film series, James Wan's The Conjuring, where he plays one of the Warrens. Halle Berry, who was incredibly cute as the secretary in Kingsman: The Golden Circle (Cute? How old is Halle Berry? She was also wonderful as the assassin in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum).
Michael Peña was also in it, though his screen time was short.

Compared to his previous works, it didn't seem to have as much of a budget, but it was a standard, quintessential Emmerich film. It's easy to enjoy without thinking, just sitting there with your mouth open.
If I had to point something out, the spectacle sequences might have been a bit monotonous.

The ideas in the content were quite wild, and I'm happy to see that signature Emmerich style in full force.

It would be terrifying to have a star that close, I wonder if it's really okay.
And I wonder what that Dyson sphere is using the energy it gets from the star for. Are they able to use it all up?
My curiosity is endless.
