So #MoonFall sucked and, to me, represents a lot about what's wrong with the film industry today, where sloppy, weak storytelling is allowed because (1) there are big enough names tied to the project and (2) it banks on emotional investment pre-existent of the film itself. Mainstream film today trades in a bloated version of self-referentiality/intertextuality. It regularly prioritizes how feelings created OUTSIDE a given film can be brought in, recycled, and exploited for commercial gain with an inferior product.
