New Forthcoming Sci-Fi Disaster Film, ‘Moonfall’ to Be Released in 2022
In 2022, a telescope will not be necessary as the moon will be coming down to earth in the upcoming sci-fi flick, Moonfall. The film will be directed by Roland Emmerich, who is the master of disaster movies such as 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow.
Moonfall unlocks a world-shattering event where the moon is mysteriously knocked out of its orbit and headed for a collision with Earth. The story will follow a NASA executive, an astronaut, and a conspiracy theorist who learn about the upcoming catastrophic event and must come up with a plan to stop it in order to save humanity.
Although it’s not too clear what caused the anticipated Universe apocalypse, the trailer appears to hint to viewers that an alien-like machine may be the culprit.
