Another new trailer for you guys to check out here, this time for Moonfall, the latest sci-fi-tinged disaster movie from Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow director Roland Emmerich.
The story deals with the aftermath of the moon being knocked from its orbit by a mysterious force and set on a collision course with Earth. A team is then assembled and sent on a perilous mission to land on the lunar surface and save the planet.
Patrick Wilson (Aquaman) plays a disgraced former NASA astronaut whose last mission, which ended in tragedy, holds a clue about the impending catastrophe. Halle Berry (John Wick Chapter 3) is playing an astronaut-turned-NASA administrator who is a former colleague of Wilson's character. Together with the likes of Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire), John Bradley (Game of Thrones), and Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games), they must race against time to stop a potential sixth extinction event.
This latest trailer definitely gives us a bit more to go on (not that the plot is overly complicated), and based on the big reveal at the end, it looks like the astronauts are going to discover that the moon is actually a man-made construct.
This looks... like a Roland Emmerich movie! If that's your thing, the trailer should have the desired effect.
“With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Academy Award winner Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley), believe her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.”
Moonfall is set to hit theaters on February 4, 2022.
