With The Day after Tomorrow and 2012 Roland Emmerich made two of the defining disaster films in film history. In addition, he sat on the director’s chair with an absolutely iconic alien invasion, which was repeated many years later. We are talking about Independence Day and its continuation.
What comes out if you combine these sci-fi and destructive claims in a film? Welcome to the megalomaniac blockbuster version Moonfall! The film that started in the cinemas three years ago-and flopped-film now comes to Netflix in the streaming subscription. It is a intoxication of unbelievability.
Sci-fi action cracker at Netflix: In Emmerich’s Moonfall, the moon crashes into the ground-or not?
Like every disaster film, Moonfall begins with an ominous message. The moon approaches the earth with worrying speed of the earth and could wipe out humanity forever. In addition to this scenario, there is another theory that causes a stir. What if the moon is not a celestial body at all?
Here you can see the trailer for Moonfall:

The moon was built and is actually a so -called mega structure. So he does not crash into earth uncontrollably because the universe is out of balance, but heads towards it – at least the theory that seems to be more and more coordinated with the absurd reality of Moonfall.
You already see it: Emmerich does not make a prisoner, but goes all in. Moonfall feels like long distances like A best of his work and at the side of the genre titans such as 2001: Odyssey in space. Completely presumptuous or innocent in his sincere sci-fi lust? Moonfall could not convince in the cinema.
Hardly anyone wanted to see Moonfall in the cinema, now Netflix will try his luck with the sci-fi blockbuster
With a budget of $ 150 million, the film was only able to recreate 67 million worldwide. Despite the image power that Emmerich unleashed to deliver one of the ultimate escapism blockbusters, Moonfall turned out to be a failure from a financial point of view. VWe are far away on earlier Emmerich successes.
Both The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 and Independence Day turned into blockbuster phenomena that attracted masses to the cinema. You had to see these films to have a say. Moonfall basically passed the public. Now you can give him a second chance at Netflix.
From the March 22, 2025 the streaming service shows the mixture of disaster and science fiction film. You can expect 130 minutes, which once dig the earth and then reveal the dark side of the moon. There are stars like Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, Michael Peña, John Bradley and Donald Sutherland.
