Moonfall trailer

[trappedslider]

I read a hard science fiction book years ago with the same title and same basic idea "The moon after being hit by a comet is shattered and parts hit earth" but so far the trailer doesn't seem to show what hit the moon. Also since it's from the same guy who brought us 2012, independence Day, and its sequel, I doubt it will be focused on accuracy with science in mind and will instead be big on spectacle and short on substance.

Yeah looks like it's about as silly as silly can be. Might be fun though.

Found the premise:

A mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and 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.

only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.

It's made of cheese! Or cotton wool! Or it was actually in our hearts all along?

In one Doctor Who it was an egg. I did not like that episode.

So less comedy driven Armageddon style movie?

I can’t wait to here now:

1) they can save us from the freakin moon hitting us.

2) how we apparantely survive without said moon

There appear to be tentacles in the trailer, so prepare to be disappointed again.[/ispoilers].

Okay, leaving aside the ludicrous premise, if the editing in the movie is anything like that trailer I'll give it a miss. Just a minute of those awful jump/dissolves was making me nauseous.
