The movie "Moonfall" -- surviving the ultimate catastrophe - C C - Jan 6, 2022
Seriously? Now clocking circa forty-three years in cinema of yet another space-shuttle looking vehicle (Moonraker-1979, Armageddon-1998, etc) a decade after the original system finally retired? (Here the latter literally taken out of mothballs, apparently.)
PREMISE: "The moon is knocked from its orbit by an unknown force and put onto a collision course with Earth. Two astronauts and a conspiracy theorist work together to attempt to avert disaster and discover that the moon is not what it seems."
An independent film with an uncommonly large budget. Yet pretty much seems just another disaster flick with the usual trope characters. However...
New trailer for 'Moonfall' promises a disaster movie on a scale like no other, but how accurate is the physics?

"The latest trailer for "Moonfall" has arrived and it promises a cosmic catastrophe on a truly Biblical scale.
"Despite being abundant in action, overflowing with explosions and incorporating plenty of planetary destruction, a surprising amount of care and consideration went into the physics and science of such colossal cosmic carnage. Peter Travers was the Visual Effects Supervisor on this film and Space.com was fortunate enough to talk with the maestro of movie magic."
