Will you pay attention to the damn movie first before complaining that this isn't how physics works? The moon isn't falling apart in the movie because it is holo, and objects are picked up and there's gravity waves because there's a dwarf star inside the moon.
When the moon got a little too close and said it’s iconic catchphrase: “it’s fallin time!”, I practically fell all over everybody! Truly the movie of all time.
0:22 I love how the world trade center is untouched while literally everything around it is destroyed, EVEN THE SHOCKWAVE WASNT ENOUGH. not even the windows shattered. It’s like one of those scenes where the one dude laughs at everyone else that dies around him
Haven’t you heard that lightning can’t hit the same spot twice? You can’t knock down the wtc twice. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again
@kaiju chaos yeah but I mean I guess to me this is common knowledge like if you get hit with gamma rays or lightning you’ll most likely die instead of coming out with superpowers. You know?
Did you even watch the movie? The moon's core is a white dwarf, which is 350,000 times stronger than Earth's gravity (the moon was built by us millions of years ago by the way, we also had extremely advanced technology)
Even if the movie shows a lot of science fiction of what would really happen if the moon collided with us, they still managed to make the disaster scenes look badass! 😂
The moon truly is one of the space rocks of all time. My favourite scene in this movie is when the moon said “it’s mooning time” and mooned all over the solar system. I nearly had a heart attack and caught a disease and now I’m terminally ill, all this because of this amazing scene. I can never thank the creator enough for creating such a masterpiece. Bravo Vi- I mean Moon!
The sheer gravimetric pull of those two bodies rolling past each other like this would have basically pulled all the water on the planet over the landmass like a huge tsunami... and also the heat of the planets atmosphere would essentially render absolutely everything directly under the moons passing into a wall of fire and volcanic activity... absolutely no one would be alive let alone leaping horizontally across a downed bridge
@@polishmachine9663 fairly into it yes, but truth be told what I'm saying is just logical speculation. We already know the moon affects the tides of our water so it rolling past us like that would cause a huge gravity pull in its wake And we also know that when something enters our atmosphere it gets super hot and burns up... so a moon size object skimming would be a world ending event lol
@@MikinessAnalog and it would turn into a pretty ring system :) though before that, the approaching moon would cause our tides to become extremely chaotic & disruptive at any rate, if the moon magically *didn’t* break in the roche limit like that, it would probably be moving at tens of thousands of km/s when it hits, and also the atmosphere would literally be on fire
Realistically, the moon would come nowhere near the atmosphere thanks to the Roche limit. Upon passing that limit, the Moon would break up into thousands of tiny pieces due to Earths gravitational pull being stronger than the Moons. After breaking apart, the pieces would form a massive ring around Earth, just like Saturns. Still, I like how this movie shows the Moon actually coming in contact with Earth. A sight to see I must say.
After all the times that NYC has been destroyed by tsunamis, meteors….and Godzilla, you’d think they’d learn by now not to keep rebuilding it time and time again.
Isaac Newton would be laughing his head off at how selective the gravity shift in this film is. How humans can still run around whilst big ocean ships and entire trains can be hoisted up in the air..Yes,the moons gravity will play havoc..

Larry is correct the moon would be destroyed already in the Roche limit but this is a movie of course it’s going to have unrealistic destruction for a unnatural moon As a superstructure moon builded by ancestors
Roche limit, anyone? The moon hitting the atmosphere, heating it up to a massive deathray before even touching? Impact mechanics? What is even happening?
You wouldn't actually be able to see the surface of the moon. The moon would break apart completely when it passed the roche limit about 11000 miles above the earth's surface. The heat would be so intense that everywhere with a clear line of sight to the moon would light on fire and melt. Also, the moon is so large that it would look like and move like a liquid after it breaks apart. It would pour onto the earth's surface and the crust would liquefy. The moon and earth together would form an ovoid of molten rock that would eventually settle back into a planet.
The moon in the movie is a billion-year-old alien structure and not just a regular moon! You can assume she is very tough! you certainly haven't watched the movie
Not technically true. It would actually depend on the Moon’s orbit’s rate of decay. If it were gradual and slow, then yes, the Roche limit would apply and the moon would break up. But if it were fast, which it is in this movie, the moon would only BEGIN to break up, but would still be more or less in one piece on impact. In fact, that’s pretty much exactly what we see in this scene. Also, the Earth wouldn’t become a ball of molten rock, the Moon is too small to cause that. It WOULD, however, gouge out a fairly enormous chunk of the planet and send it into orbit, and a sizeable piece of Earth would be liquid, but not the whole planet.
Yeah, it depends on the angle of approach. And the velocity. The Roche limit would start to break it up for the most part but if it's heading directly for the earth a lot of it's going to go right into it. It would be catastrophic worldwide either way. But simply grazing the Earth in this way would simply not happen as a lot of its surface would have been broken away at least at this point

It wasn't the best disaster movie I've seen, I say that title belongs to San Andres, but I don't think this one deserved to flop. This one was more average to me, and had some awkward and corny jokes, some I laughed at, some I cringed at. And for people saying this movie was too unrealistic, I'll just recommend that they go outside and touch some grass, because this is a movie about the moon being a giant artificial ark for humanity with a star at its core, falling to Earth after being knock out of it's orbit, and it was built billions of years ago by a utopian human civilization that spanned the galaxy, wiped out by it's own hyper-intelligent AI technology, and seeded the earth with just the right ingredients for humanity to evolve in the same way as before so humanity could start over, and one day, hopefully destroy what destroyed humanity before. Realism is totally off the tables here. The most believable part is humanity being wiped out by its own AI. Realistically, the moon would have been ripped apart by the earth's tidal forces, and seismic and volcanic activity here on earth would be at levels not seen here since the earth was young. I'm not bothered by the wonky gravity in the movie, because IRL we also would have to throw _everything_ we know about the moon out the window. Honestly, what bothers me the most, is at 0:38 in this scene, that shockwave would have at least shattered every window in the city, and blasted building façades off. The Equitable Building should look a lot more heavily damaged as a result, and while I get and respect why they didn't destroy the OWTC, I think all the window should have been blasted out, and that's it. But 4WTC is having a bad day.
with enough speed and at the right diameter the moon would wrap around earth like cloth from space but for us, it would look like the moon is sliding across the surface. really depends where you are though
Because it would not get that close. Tidal forces would rip the moon apart and turn it into a ring way before it could hit the Earth Ofc in the same event the Earth would be a earthquake tsunami hellhole.
@@MAYONNAISEMOOSE 100. I enjoyed the movie cuz I de-program myself to but it needed help. I'd watch it again and into or up to a trilogy...thoughcthey need to fix things
Gotta give Roland Emmerich props for coming up with such an original premise. At first I thought it would be a ripoff of Armageddon but I was so wrong. The characters, CGI, plot are fantastic but a few of the decisions they make were a bit dumb
Emmerich: ok so the New York scene, how should the freedom tower be destroyed FX team: yeeeeaaaaaahhh, why don’t we leave that standing Emmerich: yeeeeaaah
1:03 - I like how the movie makes the bridge seem like a problem. As if that one bridge could have ever saved them from the freaking moon crashing into the planet
Okay. So, I watched this movie. Though a fun watch, several things made me think, 'Huh, what a fun experience that could've been had.' 1) Dwarf star A dwarf star has more mass than the earth. The entire plot was centered around this star, so I get the move to not have it collapse. Under normal circumstances, the earth is close enough to the star to be torn apart. 2) The crash Yeah, the moon will never be able to hit the earth. However the waves rising would be accurate. The: Seasons would change The tides would lower We would be lightless at night That would be a great movie in itself, but I like the one we got. Don't go into the nitpicky details-- This was clearly a movie that was made for fun. Criticizing the physics of it takes that away.
There is something so downright terrifying about the fact the surface of the moon made contact with a mountaintop. Not even that the moon hit the earth, but that it was still orbiting high enough to not fully make impact, but low enough in the sky that it struck a mountain.
With every movie there is some level of just accepting the premise to get to the plot, but this is just so outrageous, it just makes it unwatchable. There would be an absolute cataclysm making the planet uninhabitable long before something of that mass got even half as close as it is now, much less close enough to clip a mountain.
I find it interesting how out of all the buildings in New York that got hit, the one that didn't get a single scratch is New York's tallest building: the One World Trade Center.
They invited an astronaut to advice them about how this event would happen, and when he explained it, the director answer "don't worry , it's a movie".
I love how at the end of this movie they're like, "Oh, well, guess we'll rebuild", like there's not tons of particulate matter in the atmosphere choking everything, blotting out the sun, and 9/10 of the area of the earth isn't rubble.
In my opinion, a solid movie. The people complaining about this movie probably haven’t even seen it. The moon in this movie is actually a megastructure with a dwarf star inside. The megastructure was created by a group of people being forced away by an alien tech monster worm that’s trying to get to the inside. It’s a freaking movie, not a physics class. People just need something to complain about nowadays.
White Dwarfs have up the mass of the Sun, compressed down to a size smaller then the Moon. That is in fact, worse, so much worse then having the actual Moon crashing down to Earth. That would never happen because of Roche limit in case of the Moon. That does not apply to White Dwarfs, because they are more massive ones and then the Roche limit applies to Earth, since that is being less mass body in this.
I saw it in full. Is the movie entertaining? Sure. Is the concept of the moon/space megastructure colliding with Earth interesting? Sure, it's an amazing idea for a movie. It's also impressively dumb how this idea is realised here. Let's not pretend Moonfall is a masterclass in storytelling. And that's okay. It's perfectly fine to enjoy shit movies.
Wow, now that you put it that way it sounds even stupider. Putting a white dwarf (which in this case is 40% more massive than our sun) next to earth would completely wreck the whole solar system. Also, what sort of logic is that? Just because it's a movie it gives the director the right to COMPLETELY ignore logic? You can ignore some of the advanced physics stuff, but when things like GRAVITY get taken out of the equation then, I'm sorry, I can no longer suspend my disbelief.
@@jonfr Judging by how small that "dwarf star" is in the movie at the center of the moon, that thing is a neutron star, not a white dwarf, unless ancient humans found a way to circumvent electron degeneracy pressure without causing electron capture. So we're talking about a stellar body at least 1.4 solar masses. Therefore, we must also assume ancient humans found a way to shut down gravity, otherwise such an object would just pull the entire solar system towards it. This sort of technology completely breaks everything we know about the universe.
And why are rocks flying everywhere? That could only happen if (1) the Moon would be more massive than the Earth and (2) most of the crust of both Earth and the Moon would be made up of some super-duper-hyper-strong material (Vibranium V.1000), with large chunks of normal rock placed on it. In the real world, would Earth collide with a Moon-sized body, pre-impact both would distort into an oval shape, causing massive earthquakes on the surface, and right after impact, small loose rocks might fall from the surface of the Moon-like asteroid (surface gravity 1/6th of the Earth) into Earth's atmosphere, but then a fireball from the impact point would engulf everything.
movie made by americans for an american audience featuring american protagonists showcases america being destroyed. I think it might have been a bit weirder if they showed some random city in say africa being destroyed.
Well, it's all made to make sense because in this film, the moon is actually an ancient human superstructure with a gravitational field much stronger than what people thought it was, which is why they were able to make that jump at the end there. That's also why the moon hasn't completely torn itself apart by now.

But yeah, it would look cool.
@@nkn0wn74 oh.......
@@tesserae582 kurzgesagt actually made a video on this exact topic. It’s super entertaining, just like all their other videos. You should watch it!
World trade centre had a lot of help from plot armour, totally untouched.
When a single building has more plot armor than every character in Moonfall combined.
The sexual tension in this scene is off the charts
I can already feel Neil degrasse Tyson talking about how unrealistic this scene is
The movie is entertaining from a visual standpoint. That's about it.
This movie is entertaining throughout lol. Cool and original idea and invokes people’s minds to ask questions.
fr. there was definitely some cringey/bad acting pieces
@@MAYONNAISEMOOSE 100. I enjoyed the movie cuz I de-program myself to but it needed help. I'd watch it again and into or up to a trilogy...thoughcthey need to fix things
@@austin-tyler5229 for folks who have never thought of this maybeeee....otherwise it's pretty obvious what has to happen.
Gotta give Roland Emmerich props for coming up with such an original premise. At first I thought it would be a ripoff of Armageddon but I was so wrong. The characters, CGI, plot are fantastic but a few of the decisions they make were a bit dumb
I don’t care what people say, this movie was a total blast from start to finish
No me importa lo que la gente diga, esta película es un total estruendo desde el principio hasta el fin . Gente pendeja :3
I 100% agree I love this movie
Not the best but is very enjoyable
CGI in this is phenomenal
factssss! I watched this movie in 4DX and it was awesome
My favorite thing about these movies is there are always two people literally running away from the end of the world. 😂😂😂😂😂
And they some how survive everything
That’s Hollywood theory. There alway has to be that special someone and/or group that survives and unsurvivable feat. 😜😜😜
See now this is why you put your phone in airplane mode while flying.
yea would hate for the moon to contact earth when airplane mode isn't on
Hate it when this happens
You can say that again brother
Yeah, it's so annoying
"we cant make that jump its clearly too far"
"its okay, we're the main characters, we'll be fine"
"You're still going to school"
It’s a good thing Oppenheimer didn’t have to compete with this cinematic masterpiece!
Average day in Ohio
thank you
Emmerich: ok so the New York scene, how should the freedom tower be destroyed
FX team: yeeeeaaaaaahhh, why don’t we leave that standing
Emmerich: yeeeeaaah
😂
This is so unreal. The cheese is soft
1:03 - I like how the movie makes the bridge seem like a problem. As if that one bridge could have ever saved them from the freaking moon crashing into the planet
Ok, now THIS might affect the trout population
In Russia, you don’t come to Moon.
*Moon come to you.*
Okay.
So, I watched this movie.
Though a fun watch, several things made me think, 'Huh, what a fun experience that could've been had.'
1) Dwarf star
A dwarf star has more mass than the earth. The entire plot was centered around this star, so I get the move to not have it collapse. Under normal circumstances, the earth is close enough to the star to be torn apart.
2) The crash
Yeah, the moon will never be able to hit the earth. However the waves rising would be accurate. The:
Seasons would change
The tides would lower
We would be lightless at night
That would be a great movie in itself, but I like the one we got.
Don't go into the nitpicky details-- This was clearly a movie that was made for fun. Criticizing the physics of it takes that away.
people on the other side of earth: suckers
i guess it’s a good and bad thing that the southern hemisphere is always ignored
@@ThatIsALakeSirpeople there: where is the water?🤔
There is something so downright terrifying about the fact the surface of the moon made contact with a mountaintop. Not even that the moon hit the earth, but that it was still orbiting high enough to not fully make impact, but low enough in the sky that it struck a mountain.
With every movie there is some level of just accepting the premise to get to the plot, but this is just so outrageous, it just makes it unwatchable. There would be an absolute cataclysm making the planet uninhabitable long before something of that mass got even half as close as it is now, much less close enough to clip a mountain.
For everyone complaining about the physics, you do not watch a movie like this for the science.
Some movies require you to suspend your disbelief to really enjoy them.
This one demands you lynch it, instead.
Watch how school will STILL be open

"Dang it! We still need to submit the assignment!??"

That's one of the only movies where "This was all a dream" twist is the best way to end it
New Yorkers watching their city get destroyed after rebuilding it for the 20th time in 1 year
Bruh its every Monday here. Getting tired of rebuilding Upper East Side again and again and the real estate keeps going up. 😭
I find it interesting how out of all the buildings in New York that got hit, the one that didn't get a single scratch is New York's tallest building: the One World Trade Center.
I bet the 27 people that saw this movie in total tugged their collars wondering if they were gonna do that
They must of thought it was too soon.
As a non-Astrophysicist, even I had to turn off 80% of my brain watching this scene
This is why we don't let Michael Bay near have a telescope
0:42 Every buildings: 🔥
The world trade center: 💪
To avoid controversy lol
*A plane has joined the server*
yeah i had my eyes brows raised just waiting
Thank god the World Trade Center didn’t get knocked down when the moon collided with the Earth
Now that's what I call getting caught between the moon and New York City!!!! ❤❤😊😊
One of the best songs ever 😍
Good thing I wasn't there because if I was I would have had to step in
Are you sure about that?
@@polishmachine9663 don’t question the golden god
They invited an astronaut to advice them about how this event would happen, and when he explained it, the director answer "don't worry , it's a movie".
I love how at the end of this movie they're like, "Oh, well, guess we'll rebuild", like there's not tons of particulate matter in the atmosphere choking everything, blotting out the sun, and 9/10 of the area of the earth isn't rubble.
that's what i'm saying! Like y'all do realize that your still fucked right, half the Earth is pretty much now a science fair project
@@silverhawk24all*
In my opinion, a solid movie. The people complaining about this movie probably haven’t even seen it. The moon in this movie is actually a megastructure with a dwarf star inside. The megastructure was created by a group of people being forced away by an alien tech monster worm that’s trying to get to the inside. It’s a freaking movie, not a physics class. People just need something to complain about nowadays.
White Dwarfs have up the mass of the Sun, compressed down to a size smaller then the Moon. That is in fact, worse, so much worse then having the actual Moon crashing down to Earth. That would never happen because of Roche limit in case of the Moon. That does not apply to White Dwarfs, because they are more massive ones and then the Roche limit applies to Earth, since that is being less mass body in this.
I saw it in full. Is the movie entertaining? Sure. Is the concept of the moon/space megastructure colliding with Earth interesting? Sure, it's an amazing idea for a movie. It's also impressively dumb how this idea is realised here. Let's not pretend Moonfall is a masterclass in storytelling.
And that's okay. It's perfectly fine to enjoy shit movies.
Wow, now that you put it that way it sounds even stupider. Putting a white dwarf (which in this case is 40% more massive than our sun) next to earth would completely wreck the whole solar system. Also, what sort of logic is that? Just because it's a movie it gives the director the right to COMPLETELY ignore logic? You can ignore some of the advanced physics stuff, but when things like GRAVITY get taken out of the equation then, I'm sorry, I can no longer suspend my disbelief.
@@jonfr Judging by how small that "dwarf star" is in the movie at the center of the moon, that thing is a neutron star, not a white dwarf, unless ancient humans found a way to circumvent electron degeneracy pressure without causing electron capture. So we're talking about a stellar body at least 1.4 solar masses. Therefore, we must also assume ancient humans found a way to shut down gravity, otherwise such an object would just pull the entire solar system towards it.
This sort of technology completely breaks everything we know about the universe.
0:24 Due to the gravity of the moon, rocks are flying everywhere
0:55 But helicopters are still usable ??
And why are rocks flying everywhere? That could only happen if (1) the Moon would be more massive than the Earth and (2) most of the crust of both Earth and the Moon would be made up of some super-duper-hyper-strong material (Vibranium V.1000), with large chunks of normal rock placed on it. In the real world, would Earth collide with a Moon-sized body, pre-impact both would distort into an oval shape, causing massive earthquakes on the surface, and right after impact, small loose rocks might fall from the surface of the Moon-like asteroid (surface gravity 1/6th of the Earth) into Earth's atmosphere, but then a fireball from the impact point would engulf everything.
Head over to Kurzgesagt to see how it really would unfold.
It's hard watching this knowing how gravity works.
The moon got tired of us walking on it, so the moon decided to walk on us.
Earth walk
can relate
My favourite part of these disaster movies is it’s always the USA that gets the direct hit by the whatever
Gee it's almost like there's a point
Because they're American movies.
movie made by americans for an american audience featuring american protagonists showcases america being destroyed. I think it might have been a bit weirder if they showed some random city in say africa being destroyed.
Good thing they jumped and dodged the moon. That was close.
Roland Emmerich has gone insane. He only knows how to make one movie, and it got old. Time to find different ideas when the moon is the main villain.
That’s gonna ruin the economy
Damn it, someone ratio'ed moon by saying "touch some grass".
XD
The physics may not make sense at all, but I cannot deny that the imagery is pretty cool.
Well, it's all made to make sense because in this film, the moon is actually an ancient human superstructure with a gravitational field much stronger than what people thought it was, which is why they were able to make that jump at the end there.
That's also why the moon hasn't completely torn itself apart by now.
the WTC just completely unharmed even by that shockwave
That's what I can see.
the moon is legally obligated to miss
Not even the avengers could stop this
Thanos can, he would just shrink the moon to a satisfying size to fit up his butt
@@mdahsenmirza2536 ayo?
Hulk would smash it to pieces.
@@mdahsenmirza2536 wtf lmao
This is not science fiction, it's science fantasy.
Good one
is that not the same thing? fantasy isn't any less real than fiction
NO FUCKING SHIT
When every law of physics is destroyed by Hollywood.
This could literally happen and there would still be people who thought the moon was fake
No, thankfully, they'd all be slag spots on the molten surface of the Earth.
tbf, the moon in the film is fake, kinda
I just like how the moon didn't get destroyed by the roche limit
It didn't because plot convenience
@@cheezysot It didn't because it's not a moon. Go watch the movie.
@@Rattus-Norvegicus In fact, Earth should be destroyed due to the Moon's immense mass
@@Rattus-Norvegicus Yeah, people who say that probably didn’t even see the movie
@@Rattus-Norvegicus The oposite should happen actually - the earth should just crumble to pieces if the moon was what it was in the movie.
New York always seems to be the go to city for world wide destruction movies
it needs to irl.
We need more big, dumb,turn your brain off action movies like this that make no sense lol
It does indeed help take the mind off of things.
I hope no one got hurt.
