“Get started with what?”

From Moonfall.

When a routine satellite repair mission went deadly wrong, highly decorated astronaut Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) was kicked out of NASA because everyone refused to believe his testimony that an unstoppable army of technology sabotaged the mission.  After receiving no support from Jocinda Fowler (Halle Berry), the one crew member he was able to save, the disgraced Brian faded into obscurity and left the world of space exploration far behind.  Over ten years later, a scientist searching for proof for his megastructure theory, K.C. Houseman (John Bradley), discovers that the Moon has shifted out of orbit, which helps prove his theory.  However, when no one will believe him, K.C. reaches out to Brian to help him warn NASA of the impending danger.  While K.C. tries to convince Brian, Jocinda and NASA are shocked to discover that the moon has drastically changed course overnight to be on a collision course with Earth.  All NASA’s attempts to correct the moon’s trajectory end in disaster and Jocinda soon realizes that the technology attracts a moving mass of technology out of the moon with deadly results.  Needing a NASA pilot that can guide a ship without the computers, Jocinda drafts Brian and K.C. to help get a giant EMP to the alien technology hiding in the moon before the world is destroyed.  Brian only agrees to help if Jocinda can get his estranged son, Sonny (Charlie Plummer), out of jail to join his ex-wife (Carolina Bartczak) and her new husband (Michael Peña) in the safety of the mountains.  Realizing that they have even less time than expected before the moon hits Earth, Jocinda sends her son (Zayn Maloney) and his nanny (Kelly Yu) with Sonny while she, Brian, and K.C. launch a last-ditch effort to save the world and the moon.

This disaster movie features an impressive cast and all the world-ending chaos that fans of the genre will love. There are a few scenes that try to make the story more deep than fits with the rest of the film, but thankfully, it does not ruin the movie as a whole. The visual effects are captivating and the action makes Moonfall an interesting thriller from start to finish.
