I wore my Letterboxd t-shirt and went to a movie theater specifically to see Moonfall ✊. It’s silly, tries to do a lot, and still manages to be enjoyable! There were moments when it felt slow or unintentionally funny (some of the dialogue is something else), but I really liked it :)

Moonfall delivers exactly the kind of wild absurdity one might anticipate, yet its downfall lies in the absence of engaging moments throughout a large portion of the movie.

The film suffers from a ridiculous concept, dialogue delivered with excessive melodrama and featuring some truly over-the-top speeches, wooden performances, humor that doesn't land, and deliberately warp…
