Lionsgate recently released the Moonfall (2022) 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo pack. Read on to find out more about it...
[ SYNOPSIS ]
A mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all - but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley) believes her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.

[ NOTES ]
Let's be honest here. This is not the type of film you watch for the plot. It's a full-blow epic effects spectacular like director/writer Roland Emmerich's previous efforts Independence Day and 2012. Going into it with that in mind, it's a fun bit of entertainment that looks spectacular in Ultra High Definition. RECOMMENDED for the visual and audio presentation.
Moonfall (2022) is available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
