Director roland emmerich has publicly stated that Falling Moon is his "last disaster film", but this "Guan Shan's work" failed to add luster to him, but it became a mediocre work in his creative career.

As the director of many disaster films, such as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and 20 12, roland emmerich has been praised as a "disaster master" by many media. He also summed up a set of creative templates for disaster films, and said that "this template can be applied to many disaster-themed films." For example, the earth will always be threatened, which may come from aliens, climate change and even Godzilla. The' enemy' who destroyed the world this time turned into the moon.

Roland also said that when he wrote Independence Day, he had already created a narrative mode of disaster films that was different from superheroes' saving the world: "In my movies, many ordinary people, many humble little people, finally became heroes." At the same time, he also admitted that he attached great importance to the element of "family", and most of the protagonists in the film were children+parents. In the Moon Landing Program, the astronauts played by halle berry and Patrick Wilson are male and female hosts, and both of them have children from single-parent families.

Although the application of these narrative templates and characters in Falling Moon is a bit old-fashioned, it is not the fatal reason for the film's failure. As IGN said in the film review: "Moonfall's presentation of creativity is too rigid and unimaginative. It is not like a disaster film supported by rich emotions and spectacular scenes, but more like a mechanical copy and reproduction of roland emmerich's personal style film. "
