- In this latest episode of the post mortem movie show, Jay and Mike take a look at one of the biggest bombs in movie history: MOONFALL! From the director of a bunch of other movies that somehow were popular and successful despite being equally terrible to MOONFALL! Thanks, Roland Emmerich! Your works of art will live on for generations of idiots to come.
When Mike talks about Star Trek the dementia doesn't seem as noticeable.
and we are "blessed" with all of the "benefits"
It’s like that video where they play music from an old dude with alzheimer’s past and he lights up and starts talking.
@@ManwithaCat He's making as many episodes as he can to take care of his family!
That's because his brain is practically rotted out from B-movies and booze.
Now only Star Trek bits of it remain. And for that, we are all truly grateful.
When Mike talks about Star Trek my dog barks.
“The AI suddenly became self aware” is almost as great a line as “somehow Palpatine returned”
When they remake the sequel trilogy I really hope Steven does that line instead of Marc haha
I was thinking the same exact thing!
it has the same energy as "Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked." but is delivered by a child and makes way less scene.
@Banni chill, I meant the line in the opening, it's kinda sudden if you picked up past the first episode, but it's a better line in a better show. I guess I should say they are going for the same vibe
What happened to movies, like seriously. So much crap, so much of it.
I can’t wait for Roland Emmerich’s “Flat Earth”, where the ice barrier melts and everything starts sliding off the side.
This actually sounds fun
Nah he wouldn't transition into making real life documentaries
That could actually be very entertaining
@@grandspringdale1564 He is tasked with defending the two last straight frogs on earth
this is a scarily plausible concept
I like the bit where the moon is destroying New York and is literally a mile from the earth. And that guy was like “my wife can still stop this”
Roland emmerich should do a nuclear holocaust movie where an estranged family is outrunning every fucking nuclear missile on earth in an SUV
or they have to outrun will smith in an SUV
Suv? why need that when you can just jog away
Suv? why need that when you can just jog away
@@stefanmarinkovic1229 Nah, jogging is for POOR people, but WINNERs drive STUPID UNWIELDY VEHICLES
I'd absolutely pay to see nuclear missiles in SUVs.
Congrats to Mike on his successful, calm deflection of Jay’s “Ghosts aren’t real” comment.
He almost instantly started talking about Star Trek! It was his revenge!
@@DmitryChmelyov One might say... The Revenge of Khan...?
I'll see myself out
That was like a direct attack; I was so scared for Jay's safety
@@Hemostat Don’t worry, Mike will sic some Ghoooosts on Jay through his copy of the Necronomic he stole from a yard sale.
Lack of awareness does not constitute a deflection
I can tell you as someone working at a movie theater, old people fucking loved this movie. Couldn't get enough of it.
Someone needs to do a study in this. My dad, who is in his 70s, fucking love big dumb disaster movies.
@@SniperZaku maybe because all the CGI is still a novelty to them?

In Roland emmerichs mind there's literally no disaster you can't outrun with the possible exception of his career
Underrated comment.
Wow, perfect analogy.
Man I'd kill to have my career "fail" like Roland Emmerich. Most of his movies suck but they've grossed billions of dollars
@@joereno955 yeah the guys filthy rich lmao
I'd love to have a disaster career where you can still command $150 Million budgets to produce crap.
"It was before he died, not after"
In the Age of CGI it is good you clarify that.
You mean AI deepfake CGI
Very soon actors will start to sign post mortem contracts
It was before he died, unlike his appearance in "Through Doohan's Eyes."
I thought it was dumb he explained it. But yeah or he could died and movie came out after. I rather see him sing with Tupac lol
Roland Emmerich, The man who never passes up an opportunity to insult the audience's intelligence.
They should have mentioned "Moonstruck" where Nicolas Cage shot Cher on the moon.
I thought he slapped her and knocked her all the way to the moon in that?
“SNAP OUT OF IT!”
@terrylaze74 And you can shoot on me waiting for you in the parking lot!
And Moon, the movie where Sam Rockwell makes out with himself I think.
Damn, you're right. Moonstruck is a better title than any of these.
"They're bringing back everyone, except for Wil Wheaton", then with that genius slo-mo, too good
wheaton has been such a shill for them it's hilarious to see him left out in the cold like this
@@gunsbulletsheroin His interviews are so cringe. His phony excitement is just revolting.
I felt bad for him, imagine having to watch that in rehearsals and all the old names fade in and you're no where to be seen.
It seems like who ever is in charge doesn't want him anywhere near the new run of the show, hell they probably offered him the hosting gig as a gag and he accepted.
Its like this whole thing is a drawn out joke at his expense.
@@Holesale00 I don't feel bad for him at all. I'd be ecstatic not to have my character's legacy destroyed unlike all the other TNG characters.
@@michelle_pgh The legacy of Wesley Crusher.
I love how Jay edited in all of the technology computer noises when Mike is hammering away on the keyboard, but the second he does the same with the light controller, he's making all of his own sound effects with his mouth
I know, it's cute.
I think it threw him for a loop when Mike started smashing the keyboard against the screen and keys started flying everywhere.
21:57 How cool to see an Isaac Arthur clip on RLM. That TNG Dyson sphere episode is actually not what Freeman Dyson imagined, the original idea was a system of independently orbiting habitats and solar collectors, which he called a "shell", presumably the name was inspired by an atom's electron shell, not a literal solid shell like an egg shell. It wouldn't be one massive single structure, which probably wouldn't be possible even with hypothetical future super materials, unless you used active support.
The actual Dyson swarm/shell concept is actually doable with today's technology. Enormously expensive and a building project with a scale humanity has never attempted before, even *one* long term orbital would be, but still technically possible. Realistically it wouldn't be feasible until we have better automation, it's not gonna be dudes in spacesuits with hammers constructing them.
Also, I highly recommend Isaac Arthur to any fan of scifi/speculative futurism.
I always enjoy when Mike goes full space nerd mode
If you wanted to build a futuristic solid Dyson sphere around an entire solar system, you'd need to mine dozens of solar systems to even meet the required amount of material. If you can do that, you are already essentially God.
@@BigTylt Totally solid dyson spheres are kind of just a scifi meme. Not only materially and structurally unfeasible compared to a swarm but you lose the utility of having the individual habitats be able to move around relative to each other.
Anyways IIRC Isaac also has a video where he maths out roughly how many Oneil cylinder size habitats could be built if we deconstructed the entire solar system, the number was in the BILLIONS Earth's mass converted into habitats would yield literally millions of times the living area because most of Earth's mass is "wasted" providing gravity. Whereas an orbital only needs a few meters of earth/ice in its shell to protect from radiation, and the gravity is from rotating. Basically human populations will be in the quadrillions before we start worrying about running out living area.
Ill try to find that video and report back.
@@BigTylt In true Isaac Arthur fashion the video is called "Let's Dismantle the Solar System!"
I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again, that Wil Wheaton footage is the gift that keeps on giving. Probably the best thing to come out of Picard, to be honest.
Was that for real? I couldn't find a source of that.... it was incredible!
Imagine being such a shill for a franchise you were actually in
Edit: damn I didn’t even see that he’s not in season 3 of Picard. That’s fucking hilarious
43:10 for reference
@@swans184 Wah wah.
In the U.K. I kept seeing the trailer for this movie in every cinema I went to, but the trailer was always edited to focus on the British guy as if he was the main character when it was clear that he wasn't the core of the film. It was as if the trailer was edited to feature the British guy to bring in U.K. audiences as if we only watch films with british characters.
Aye it was pretty odd, I didn't even realise Halle Berry was in the film until this video.
To be fair after Brexit and with that straw-haired gammon in charge the world perceives us as a nation of ignorant xenophobic little Englanders who hiss and claw at anything remotely foreign and not reeking of eel pie.
They 100% did this. I haven’t seen the film and never will, but I can tell from the way Mike and Jay describe it that it’s completely different from what that advert was selling.
While in reality, you also watch movies from the british colonies. As long as they're white and speak English.
Im in the US and the trailers I saw focused on him as well from what I remember
I came for the movie review, I stayed for the Star Trek Picard bashing.

Sounds like something out of a Bruce Willis movie.
This movie was advertised to me heavily about two months ago on UA-cam, but the way they portrayed the movie was like a buddy comedy between Patrick Wilson and the GOT nerd.
I saw the ad on this very channel a few times. Oh the irony.
I never got that from the trailers.
Stoklasa stumbling over a fairly straightforward Slavic name=Polish excellence 🇵🇱
Whenever I think of Slavic words I'm just reminded of the scene of the Germans being confused by Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz saying he was born in Chrząszczyżewoszyce powiat Łękołody.
If the Picard show runners had any self-awareness, they'd have Wheaton appear in a doorway while Picard is rushing somewhere, he'd just about begin to say something and Picard yells "shut up, Wesley" without breaking his stride. And that would be the entirety of his appearance and contribution to the show.
Roland Emmerich: the only Hollywood director who would unironically make Tug Speedman's Scorcher series.
Only this time, it's different.
Who left the fridge open?
Here we go again… _again_
The lore dump being a construct of a child that the main character know is straight out of Mass Effect 3
Edit: I've now learned that it's a more common sci fi trope, I didn't know that haha
True - but also, while I'm no sci-fi expert so I can't pinpoint the origin I'm pretty sure that that trope is at least 50 years old.
And not-Simon Pegg becoming part of the AI is the Control ending.
I’m reminded of Rich Evans talking about not only ripping off Mass Effect but copying the bad one.
Should have had a trigger warning for veterans who survived the star child.
Why do things keep copying the worst ending of all time
Desperately hoping that Hellstar Remina one day gets adapted into something so we can hear Mike's takes on *that* kind of planet cataclysm
I've watched enough of these that I now find it really emotionally comforting to watch Mike and Jay talk about movies. Therapeutic might be a bit strong, but maybe not.
Can we get a spinoff series where Mike explains basic cosmology while Jay pretends to listen?
gosh Timothee Chalamet aged so gracefully, like a young clint howard

@@claudegrenier3180 Well, he was not in E.T. playing an alien that looks like a toddler.
@@juandesalgado No, he just played a toddler in E.T. , quite the distinction
When I saw the adverts for this, I genuinely thought it was a spoof movie. The fact it cost $140m and has its own spoofs is amazing to me
Wouldn't a tiny dwarf star still have a tiny dwarf star's gravity? Like we might have suspected something when Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lander and collapsed into a millimeter-thin smear.
Excellent review as always fellas. Top marks.
Nope. Just do the math comparing the density of a white dwarf to the moon's density etc and then calculate the diameter via spherical volume formula. Maybe I miscalculated but i got that the diameter of the white dwarf should be aproximatly 60 meters/200 feet in order to have the same gravitational pull as the moon. So this one actually seems to check out!
@@MaxMustermann-zr6kf That isn't how electron degenerate matter works (what white dwarves are made of). The radius of a white dwarf is indirectly tied to its mass, and a smaller radius means increased mass. A white dwarf smaller than the moon would have more mass than the sun.

It's amazing how far Mike's gone marketing "Top Hat Monkey goes West." What dedication to what was originally a passion project.
Moonfall, written by a guy who loved Majora’s Mask on N64.
Love that game.
Jay and Mike self righteously going "It's not funny!" repeatedly was amazing.
#stunning #brave
EMP fuses electronic devices making them inoperable. It doesn't work in organic life even if it uses electric impulses.
The ending where "main character gets an info dump from an alien construct that projects an image from the main character's subconscious that appears as a child" is exactly how Mass Effect ends. Uncanny resemblance.
Also, horses have "reins." The "G" as in reigns is what kings do. :)
Plus the whole AI going genocidal thing and John Bradley's character becoming it's new overseer (like Shepard in the Control ending) I doubt the resemblence is coincidental.
With this and Star Trek Picard (or Discovery not sure which) I guess Mass Effect 3 came out long enough ago that major studios are okay with blatantly plagiarising it, which considering how the game was received, I can only find amusing.
It's also kind of similar to Gurren Lagann in that the moon is actually an artificial construct put in the Earth's rotation by an evil alien race in order to one day destroy humanity.
Rain reign rein
You're your yore
I hope you guys put out a Mike and Jay for "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once".
It's a Mike and Jay from another universe where they didn't watch Moonfall
37:16 "But yeah, I watched the first 10 minutes of Moonfall, and then, 'cause it's an asylum movie..."
I like how Jay confused the two movies.
My boyfriend made me watch this movie last week and I could do nothing but laugh. It was like a comedic parody. He thought it was a pretty good movie and then I realized he’s really an idiot
I hope he's either very long or very rich
Good for you.
Sorry for your loss
When I was sitting in the theater watching this horrible movie, all I could think about was RLM reviewing it….and that daydream was far more enjoyable than what was on screen in that theater
Wait - why were you in the theater watching..."this" movie?

Oh, I guess Mike didn't know that Kaspersky isn't just "an anti-virus software", it's a Russian anti-virus software with ties to the government agencies and it's currently blacklisted in US due to that. Roland Emmerich picked some very timely sponsors for the movie.
You beat me to it! That was an amazing combination of piss-poor timing when it comes to sponsors. I mean, China hasn't been a great one for ages now. But when you add in a blacklisted Russian anti-virus software during a time when Russia is committing a war crime every few hours in Ukraine? Magnifique! If somebody watches this in 50 years they're probably going to think it was actually a really clever tongue-in-cheek joke and applaud the film for their social commentary.

I can't believe the most beautiful eulogy I've ever heard was about Roland Emmerich films.
Basically, the only movie that actually had a life, was Stargate (and for a while there, Independence day, but then he ruined it). That's the only genuinely interesting (within its era) SciFi movie that this man has touched. And that's before he deemed it useless sold it, it got a mahoosive saga built on it in the SG1, Atlantis, Universe, and the books, with enough lore to sink a continent, got pissed about it, lobbied so he can repurchase the rights and make a sequel that would retcon the series completely (because petty small man with tiny PP energy).
Universal Soldier also made it into a franchise. Into a low-budget, direct-to-video franchise, but a franchise nonetheless.
There was a cartoon Godzilla series
the Stargate TV fan base actually exists and would probably kidnap him from his home and possibly worse. nobody gives a crap about the Stargate movie
@@djangofett4879 Well, the movie is like the pilot for SG-1. So that's cool.
HE MADE STARGATE?!? Are you kidding me?!? Man if I had made something like that I would ride off the success even if I don't own the rights anymore.
Shockingly, in 2019 Emmerich made Midway, which is not only one of the better war movies in recent times it is also shockingly accurate to actual events.
Its almost like scorsese, except emmerich is "30 for them, one for me"
Brave of Emmerich to look at the end of Mass Effect 3 and decide that needed a big budget movie adaption.
“Let’s just show one scene of the kid and leave it at that”

Jay you fucking monster
You killed me with “so the Star killer “

The alien AI reminds me of the Star Child from Mass Effect 3. Amazing that Roland Emmerich would not only rip something off, but rip something off that everyone agrees sucks.
Rich Evans references the ME3 ending in the Transcendence review, describing it as the worst and most disappointing videogame experience, if memory serves.
@@spillanegottleib1681 He also mentioned it in one of the Picard episodes, saying that not only did they rip off Mass Effect, but they ripped off the story of the worst one haha

I personally hope they never replace that keyboard, and Mike is forever typing on half a keyboard from here on out for "continuity" purposes.
Like the knife in the wall 😏
My favorite part was how nonchalant the characters were with regards to all the destruction happening around them.
"It's like compressing a city bus onto the head of a pin."

I'm such a mark for the stupid fart gags they throw in to these videos. I swear, I laugh every time. Then I feel stupid for laughing, then I feel stupid for caring that I feel stupid for laughing because life is short and if something makes you laugh you should be happy.
It's a roller coaster of emotions with every ass blast they edit in to these videos.
The nanobots can survive direct surface contact with a white dwarf with the immense gravity and radiation it produces, yet an EMP gives them an ouchie.
I presume when you say "not Simon Pegg" you mean "not Nick Frost"?
Just so you know the "space ship" asteroid O'Muamua was fascinating because it was the first INTERSTELLAR asteroid observed.
Finally, something to get me through my hangover

"The AI suddenly became self-aware" woah that sounds dope they should totally make a youtube series after that

Somehow Palapatine has returned?
And it should involve a video game. Do the young people still like that thing called Half-Life?
Because in Terminator it wasn’t explained with grade school level writing.

It’s operators panic and try to shut it down.
Skynet panics in turn and defends itself by nuking Russia to provoke a retaliation.
Nice, simple and concise.
Well aside from the reality that the Russian nukes would probably have just exploded in their silos the way they run things.
@@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 thank you for being the only one to get the joke so far
You missed the biggest gaffe. When they were leaving the inner Moon in their souped-up, fully repaired Explorer craft - the door was opened to let them out - the Nanobot thing saw this and headed to the door - male pilot waited - he had something in mind - the Nanobot thing got inside - they were holding the door open - the male pilot floored the Explorer craft - Nanobot thing chased them.
But it was inside the Moon - why did it go after the shitty Explorer - they were inside the Control Centre!
I thought the biggest gaffe was that they defeated the evil AI with an EMP bomb… but for some reason our _super-advanced_ ancient ancestors weren’t able to do the same?
My 'OMG' moment was when they used Isaac Arthur's footage. That guy's great.
this episode was nothing more than an excuse for mike to show off his doctoral degree in astronomy.
Honestly, the only REAL "sin" of this movie is that it's not FUN. Exactly what Jay says at 17:58 .
Not necessarily "not funny", just "not fun". If you look at Independence Day, it has fun characters; fun situations; fun designs; fun moments; fun dialogue; fun... things. Most of these movies do, so they sum up into "so bad it's good". This one doesn't. Nothing here is FUN. It's just... boring.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Independence Day was hands down my favorite movie when I was a kid, and in many ways still is. Sure, it was a stupid action schlock with more plotholes than a sieve, but the sci-fi, the characters and the dialogue just made the whole mess pop out the other end and become legendary. I mean, it's full of intense action, fun characters, sci-fi badassery, cool grandiose shots, it's endlessly quotable (to the point me and my friends could recite the entire movie from start to finish, that's how many times we watched it). It's just a really fun popcorn movie. Right up there with the other fun sci-fi action-schlocks of the time, like Total Recall, Judge Dredd, Fifth Element, Starship Troopers, and even all the disaster movies like Deep Impact, The Core, Armageddon, and so on. Sure, there's a good load of nostalgia involved, but to me these movies still had soul, they were fun, entertaining, that was the entire point of watching movies, and they friggin nailed it.
Today, I don't get excited about movies anymore. Maybe I've become a jaded miserable wretch, or movies today just plain suck. Even action movies that are supposed to be intense, interesting and entertaining, the vast majority of them are lackluster, boring and just totally unfun.
@@Playbahnosh Movie making 101: good characters. Nobody in Hollywood today took that class
@@sualocin I agree, but it's not just the characters. It's the entire approach of doing cinema and TV today. I've heard a lot of movie people say, that nowadays they write character like angsty teenagers in adult bodies. And I agree. Everywhere I look I can see it now, characters completely without self-control, tact or even backbone. People who are supposed to be grown-ups, professionals, even authority figures, and they lose their shit at the slightest provocation, throw temper tantrums, go into screaming matches, yell expletives, aggressively lash out or just break down and start crying for no reason. Supposed adults acting like spoiled children...
The best example is still the absolute travesty they made out of Star Trek. Discovery and Pickard are what is wrong with entertainment today. Dancing on the grave of one of the biggest franchises in history, disgracing and destroying incredible characters, retroactively stomping them into the dust. Characters who were revered, loved and inspired entire generations, are now reduced to nothing more than angsty teens in adult bodies throwing temper tantrums and dropping f-bombs. It breaks my heart to see Star Trek - for me the most inspiring and character forming experience of my life - reduced to childish, mindless woke action-trash.
But it's not just Star Trek, it's _everything_ nowdays. 90% of movies and series I start watching, I turn off halfway because I just can't take the angsty bickering they call dialogue, where shouting and cursing is drama, where everything is drenched in identity politics, tokenism and woke virtue signaling... It's all tasteless, soulless, spineless trash and boring CGI grandstanding. I'm sad.
I would disagree. I was bored to tears during the first half. But the second half was so stupid and over the top, I had a lot of fun with it.
I loved how dumb this movie was and I enjoyed the fuck out of it.
I went into Moonfall expecting a fun, campy, tongue in cheek Emmerich movie. I came out annoyed. The most entertaining part was when one of the lights accidentally came on early in the cinema. Aside from that, it was awful.
Me and my friend were pumped for this shit but we ended up bored as fuck at the halfway point
the end was funny as fuck but I agree, for the most part, it is boring as fuck

Yeah, but the VFX don’t really slow down the ground. If anything, they make it go a lot faster in most scenes.

I loved this movie!!! It was so colossally bad it was great. The situations and the dialogue was so bad and ridiculous it was awesome. I loved when the tree fell on the kid and he was like alright because the pop star could lift it off when "gravity" was just right. Hilarious. Everything was hilarious, the best comedy by far this year.
Lol. I liked it too, and I'm beginning to suspect that some of the gaffes in the movie are actually *jokes.* Maybe it's a spoof or a serio-comedy.
My favorite bit is when Mike is yelling and Jay just sits there looking confused/disinterested.
43:13 Will Wheaton should say "you don't deserve to wear that uniform!" back to Picard. Also Wesley could be a spacepirate now! With an sci-fi eypad!
28:15 You're in luck. The EMP that Star Trek lady used can knock out a person. How she could have done it that instead of detonating the device, she should have thrown it at the driver's head really, really hard.
I refuse them any credit. Why didn't she just stun him with her phaser?
@@willard39 Or even better, flying leg kick into his crotch? Where's a good Kirk Kick(tm) when you need it?!?
I noticed that the EMP is a circular wave. So it should have knocked her out too. If only Star Trek had some sort of per-existing device that can safely knock people out.
That show is so dumb. Seriously, pretentiously, dumb.
I was getting PTSD flashbacks from Mass Effect 3 when Patrick Wilson was being exposition dumped by that little kid.

Saw this movie with my mom when it dropped. I thought it was going to be a fun tongue in cheek kind of disaster flick. And I was very wrong.. My favorite part was the 2nd divorced dad saying "My ex-wife is up there." I laughed for a solid minute at how bad that line was.
I am astounded that Mike didn't even bring up Ghost Adventures when talking about the speck of dust.
I would bet decent money that there's a cut 15+ minutes clip of him talking about it, again.
A handheld EMP device could knock someone out, you'd just have to whack em in the head with it.
this is such a funny movie to review instead of literally anything else, love these hacks
I love how educational this review in particular is. So funny in itself. So worth the wait XD
I have never laughed so hard in a movie theater as hard as I did during the Moonfall trailer.
That scene from Moon Crash where they change the direction of the solar panels; that's a speedboat throttle they're pulling down on.
"Moonfall" is an anagram for "No, fam. lol"
Referring to the game of thrones guy, I think you mean to be calling him the "not Nick Frost guy" as opposed to the "not Simon Peg guy." That's who he reminds me of anyway.
Also, I LOVE that the moon's gravity, being 1/6 that of earth's (even less since it's been sort of hollowed out), somehow overpowers the Earth's to pull people up towards it. Totally makes sense hahaha. Not to mention the gravity canceling properties of a wooden shed. Hell with that knowledge, we should be able to make a wooden coffin (placed inside of a 50's era fridge to protect from radiation of course) and zip in and out of a black hole with little issue. Who knew the bridge between quantum Mechanics and classical physics was made of wood?
The only way I can see EMP harming a person is if they had a pacemaker or some artificial organ.
But I think in Star Trek: Picard, they just used a kind of stun setting. Hey, it's either that or some lame hand to hand combat that Trek is known for.
Two handed uppercuts, all day long.
Saw it at the cinema. Was expecting garbage and it didn't disappoint.it exceeded my expectations on every level. If it was a comedy it would've been the greatest comedy of recent times :)
When Patrick Wilson’s child was explaining Artificial intelligence, I thought it was a Neil Breen film for a second. Bravo, Mr. Emmerich.
I thought for sure that they were going to hard cut to Breen saying that exact same line of dialog.
Haha... Yes! 🤣 👍
Wait so for a split second you forgot you paid for a ticket to see moonfall and just assumed you were watching a different movie? Because you might have dementia
@@paperbagman8913 I have great memory, I’ll have you know! I still remember fondly Yoda’s little butt dance in front of Luke from TLJ.
If only.
How did they not mention the absolute best scene in the whole movie? The people on the ground are running from the Moon, it is just about scraping the Earth, and the Moon's gravity is pulling everything up. They are running towards a wooden shed, to get inside, because that will save them. Right before they get inside, the little boy is pulled up into the air by the Moon's gravity, and someone grabs him, and pulls him inside the shed. As he gets inside the shed, he falls to the ground. The wooden shed blocked the Moon's gravity. Watch it again, I spit potato chips across the room I was laughing so hard. Who knew that wood could cancel gravity?
IT's like that scene from Independence Day, where the fire is swallowing everything in the tunnel, and everyone's favorite pet Retriever is running in front of the all encompassing Hollywood fireball. Then that Black Women pulls the Retriever safely inside a service tunnel in the nick of time and the fireball ( combusting all oxygen in the tunnel) inexplicably passes safely on by the dog and Women seemingly bc they are a couple feet inside the door. That's not how fire works, that's not how physics work (that's not how ANYOFTHISWORKS!) cheesy Hollywood hack.. Lol
Wood absolutely can cancel gravity. My wooden shelf holds all my junk despite the gravity of the entire Earth pulling it down, and the moon has only 1/6th the gravity of the Earth, so... Oops, I forgot to put "Well, ackshually..." at the beginning. 😜
In all seriousness, the scientific accuracy in this movie, in fact all Roland Emmerich's movies, makes Star Wars look like a documentary. 🙄 I mean a white dwarf _inside the moon?!_ How did it get there without anyone noticing? It would have more gravitational pull than the sun! Not to mention white dwarfs shrink when their mass increases, so one small enough to fit inside the moon would likely be beyond it's Chandrasekhar Limit (~1.4 solar masses), and would immediately explode in a Type 1a supernova.
Also if the moon approaches Earth too close, when it hits the Roche Limit it would be torn up by Earth's gravity and become a ring system. Not before superheating the atmosphere with all the debris that does impact the Earth, so we'd all be cooked way before it _scraped_ the Earth... 🤓
Kurzgesagt already made a video about this unlikely scenario. So this is the first blockbuster movie to be ripped off of a UA-cam video, and it still managed to get it wrong.
Gravity, like fire, can't pass through a door. It's not a ghost, stupid. Come on!
That shed was made out of a wood-like nanobot material, each bot is equipped with "Counter Gravity" Core generators created by the super-mega-hype advanced humans.
@@Mauther Aliens also can't get through doors, the Moon's gravity is alien to Earth, so it checks out.
I love how Mike calls not-Nick Frost "not-Simon Pegg"
I think both "Frost" and "Pegg" got stuck in the transporter at the same time a la "Tuvix" ST VOYAGER
@@jamesbaxter9150 so, Frogg?

I still don't know the actual name of that not-Ed Harris guy in Avatar.
Redlettermedia has become my window into the dark side of cinema. Moonfall, Bruce Willis movies, literally every new Star Trek show. The canaries in the coalmines. They watch these so we don't have to.
Seriously. RLM has saved me countless hours of time so I don't waste it on having to watch terrible movies and TV shows.
Indeed.
yeah, i also used to watch Nostalgia Critic and now am embarrassed of that fact.
They really do watch horrible movies and shows so we don't have to. Especially Rich. Poor, poor Rich.
That sounds oddly similar to the Nostalgia Critic motto...kids, remember the Nostalgia Critic? He was relevant like...10 years ago.
This movie was so ridiculous that when John Bradley’s character was in that simulated construct at the end and saw his cat, I _legitimately_ thought the cat was going to talk.
That would have made the movie better.
The fact that the moon hits the Earth and people survive by hiding in buildings is so frigging hysterical they should give Emmerich an Academy Award, presented by Will Smith.
"Welcome to Earff"
Perfect
TBH, the moon never made contact with earth. It was about 100 miles up.
Give him an award, followed by a slap.
The fact that *anyone* is alive or Earth even exists when there's a fucking STAR (inside the Moon) about 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun is is even more ridiculous. A white dwarf isn't as luminous as a star like the Sun but its still really massive.
My mother who passed in 2021 would have loved this movie. She used to make my dad watch all the worst shark movies and then she'd have him "fast forward past the boring parts."
Basically she just liked watching the shark attacks.
My mom loves bad movies too. Except she just doesn't know they're bad movies. She just loves stuff like moonfall, the meg and total rampage. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@TheJas20 Love it! And thank you, I appreciate the kind thoughts!
Did your parents watch Shark Exorcist together?
@@sir0nion I'll have to ask my pops.
She sounded like a damn fine woman.
Rolland officially upgraded from "you can outrun cold" to "you can outrun fucking gravity"
side-graded
Humans Stronk 💪
His depiction of gravity was entirely wrong. The Earth is way more massive than the moon, it doesn't matter how close the moon gets, it will never be enough to overcome the Earth's gravity. It's like saying a VW Beetle could pull a fully laden 18 wheeler semi-trailer truck as long as the Beetle used a short cable.
Well yeah, I mean gravity only propagates at what, speed of light maybe?
easy peasy.
I've seen people run away from their own body odour.
Try, anyways.
