The world is coming to an end in Moonfall, which is par for the course when Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) has a new movie. This time, he’s recruited Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson and John Bradley to try and save the world from total destruction. Movie fans have had a chance to see Moonfall in movie theaters since February 4, but now they will be able to watch this disaster movie from home.

Moonfall takes place as a mysterious force knocks the moon from its orbit around Earth, sending it on a collision course that threatens all life on the planet. With mere weeks before impact, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Berry) must team up with former astronaut Brian Harper (Wilson) and conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (Bradley) on a last-ditch mission to save the world.

It certainly looks like a big spectacle, but just where will you be able to watch Moonfall

How to watch Moonfall

Moonfall is still currently available in a handful of theaters. If you’re interested in seeing Roland Emmerich's big screen adventure, you can find where it is playing and what time by checking sites like Fandango or your local movie theater’s own website. From either of these you can buy tickets ahead of time if you so choose.

Speaking of tickets, if you’re looking for ways to make a trip to the movie theater more affordable, you should definitely look into movie theater subscription deals. These subscription services, which are run by U.S. theater chains like AMC, Regal, Cinemark and Alamo Drafthouse and U.K. chains including Odeon, Cineworld and Picture House, provide discounted tickets, flat monthly rates to see a certain number of movies, concession deals and other perks.
