Moonfall might be the first film that dares to ask the question: what if the moon fell? It is, unsurprisingly, profoundly ridiculous, though you’ve probably already come to that conclusion. Characters talk about the moon in ways that increasingly suggest that it, much like New York in every middle-class drama, might be its own character. Sentiments about it range from “f*** the moon” to “the moon is going to help us!”
