Along with the aforementioned John Bradley, "Moonfall ” stars Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson as former astronauts Jo Fowler and Brian Harper, among others. This latest trailer not only gives us more time to get to know this plucky cast of characters, but it also teases out the stakes of the movie. It turns out that there is something living on the Moon.
"We are dealing with an intelligent entity. We're planning a mission to attack this thing. I'm asking for your help," we hear Berry's Fowler tell Wilson's Harper during the trailer as she tries to convince him to join the group that's been tasked with "saving the Moon, saving Earth." The trailer also sees Bradley's Houseman providing some much-needed comic relief, whether interjecting himself into others' conversations or taking pictures from space with his phone ("It's on airplane mode," he assures his bewildered colleagues).
Interspersed with edge-of-your-seat action scenes and Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" playing in the background, "Moonfall" looks like a good time with a little bit of everything thrown in. It should be a welcome relief for movie-goers when it falls to Earth on February 4.
