Los Angeles Times
Moonfall is stupid, in other words, but I don’t mind admitting that it feels, at this point in time, like my kind of stupidity. - 58
Consequence
It’s not that a great disaster movie can’t be made in two hours or less, it’s that Roland Emmerich doesn’t know how to do it. - 50
IGN
Moonfall makes its big ideas feel small and unimportant. - 42
The Playlist
It may be bloated, but Moonfall always feels like it’s moving at a somewhat brisk pace. And the filmmaker’s greatest talent is collaborating with visual effects teams to craft images that somehow get seared in your brain. - 40
Empire
Moonfall is precisely what you’d expect a film called Moonfall to be: deeply, defiantly, sometimes exasperatingly daft. It’s Roland Emmerich on apocalypse-autopilot. - 33
The A.V. Club
The film’s more or less a mashup of Emmerich’s two wheelhouses: alien contact (Stargate, Independence Day) and cataclysmic disasters (The Day After Tomorrow, 2012), with some Armageddon thrown in for good measure. You will actually hear your brain cells commit seppuku as you watch it. - 30
The New York Times
This off-world adventure flirts with the transcendently goofy, but Emmerich spoils it by crosscutting to a useless narrative thread on Earth. - 25
Movie Nation
There’s barely a hint of fun and nary a drop of pathos in any of this.
