The German director Roland Emmerich, known as the master of disaster films, has finally returned to direct disaster films. As I have already introduced some time ago, his new work "Moonfall" may not be as simple as a disaster film. The official preview of the film, as well as the exposure of some other information, may have revealed the setting of the film more clearly.
As can be seen from the official poster exposed above, the moon in the film is confirmed to be a huge man-made structure, and according to the picture in the official trailer, the protagonist and his party drove a special spaceship, crossed the surface, and entered the moon's surface. Inside, it can be seen that there is a very complex mechanical structure. There is no doubt that the aliens who built the moon definitely have a highly developed civilization.
Inside the Moon:
The setting of the moon in the film of course also involves various conspiracy theories. For example, the trailer mentioned that on July 20, 1969, humans first landed on the moon and lost contact for 2 minutes. One of the most often meme moments in this movie, in "Moonfall", the astronauts who landed on the moon discovered something on the moon, and their discovery was kept secret by the government for fifty years.
No matter what the astronauts found, the moon was suddenly rushing towards Earth for some reason. Because of the problem of gravity, various geological disasters on the earth have been caused, such as the rapid rise of sea level and the evacuation of all coastal residents. These destruction scenes are of course easy for Roland Emmerich.
Why did the moon hit the earth? The biggest mystery should be hidden in the fluid-like particle clusters that appeared in the notice. This particle seems to come from the surface of the moon, it seems to have life, or at least it can purposely attack a specific target, and it seems to devour specific substances along the way. It can be seen that some rocks are broken down by these particles. What are these particles? Woolen cloth?
A mysterious particle cluster gathered from a certain glowing sphere:
There are two possibilities, one is that these particles are alien weapons, and even the entire moon may be a large alien weapon, These particles are equipped on it. Another possibility is that these particles themselves are the body of aliens. They are different from the life forms we know. They have some special properties and can maintain their own life by decomposing and swallowing some organic substances, and the moon is them. of a base.
The mysterious particle cluster attacks the protagonist spacecraft:
Then the reason for "why the moon hit the earth" mentioned above seems to be easier to make guesses. According to the notice, the earth has experienced five mass extinctions. , and this is the sixth time the moon hit the earth. Then perhaps, the earth itself is like a "pasture" or "farm" for aliens. They usually hide in the moon, monitoring the situation on the earth at all times, and when the time is right, they will "harvest" the food on the earth. , to replenish yourself with energy. Many mass extinctions in the history of the earth are actually all these aliens eating buffets on earth.
Let's look at the once-in-a-billion-year supermoon:
This "harvest" idea appeared in the previous "Matrix", in which robots raised humans like livestock and extracted their energy. Roland Emmerich is also very obsessed with the concept of alien invasion. In his early years, he made a plot of aliens enslaving the earth in "Stargate", and "Independence Day" was a simple and crude invasion, so , if the setting of "Earth Farm" I guessed above is really in line with "Moonfall" itself, then this movie is like a summary of Roland Emmerich's career in science fiction disaster movies. A summary of the main elements of several masterpieces such as "Stargate", "Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012".
Of course, the above are all my personal conjectures. The specific settings will only be known after seeing the movie itself. "Moonfall" will be released in North America on February 4, 2022.
