The lyrics to Totos “Africa” are being talked about, as two astronauts from the Space Shuttle Endeavour are EVA, repairing what may or might not be the Hubble Space Telescope. Suddenly, an unusual, black cloud swallows up the orbiter vehicle and bad astronaut Alan Marcus (Frank Fiola) is lost. Astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is unconscious and only astronaut Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) stays to witness probably the strangest event he has ever seen.Emmerich has strongly cemented his credibility as the master of disaster with popular popcorn flicks like “Independence Day,” “2012” and “The Day After Tomorrow” and lest we forget, he likewise gave us “Stargate.” In his newest movie, it isnt autocratic aliens posing as Egyptian gods threatening civilization through a wormhole linking 2 worlds over hundreds of light years … This time something has caused the moon to be knocked out of orbit and now its on a direct collision course with Earth.The movie focuses on a previous astronaut-now-NASA executive (Berry) who must team up with an astronaut from her past (Wilson) and a conspiracy theorist (John Bradley) to save Earth from this approaching disaster. Were not exactly sure if it will rank on our list of the best sci-fi movies of perpetuity, however were excited to see more.NASA Astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) chooses to take her honeymoon in low Earth orbit, who would not.?
