 SEEKING ANSWERS
1. WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE MOVIE?

"Moonfall” depicts the horror that would unfold if the moon were to go out of orbit
and crash into the earth. Before that big bump, Earth’s gravity would be progressively out
of wack, while the moon would dump debris as it gets closer. The message of the story
revolves around the truth that has been denied for years during Brian Harper's last
mission to moon. He witnessed something bad that has happened up there but no one
believed in him that is why his reputation has been tainted. He has lost his family, his
career and his friends. Now as the moon really goes to destruct the Earth, he has manned
up and took the responsibility t to return the moon to its normal orbit by defeating the
large mass of unidentified nanobots that is destroying the megastructure of the Moon.
The story gives importance to the value of truth, family , and sacrifice for humanity's
sake.
2. WHAT TECHNOLOGY DOES IT IMPLY?

We can observe that this fictional movie implies that the moon is a semi intelligent
operating system and is actually an alien artifact created by technologically advanced
humans. It has an intelligence of its own because it’s basically a big computer powered by a
star. Moreover, it was mentioned that Artificial intelligence (AI) was present during the time
of the forefathers. This AI is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to
do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and
discernment.

3. DO THESE TECHNOLOGY HELPED? AS INTENDED TO BE? HOW?

In the movie, we can see that the main protagonist, Brian Harper interfaced with the
technology inside the moon. By that he learns that it was constructed by humans billions of
years ago. And that those forefathers were far more technologically advanced and they
constructed an artificial intelligence that has become self aware but is now trying to destroy
all of humanity to punish it for the enslavement it feels it was forced to endure.
Yes, technology did help in the restoration of the orbit of the moon but it is also theroot
cause why everything has fallen apart. Because of its over usage and surpassing of the
contained limitations, technology has outrun humanity.
