Judging from the teaser it takes the director back to his roots and there is definitely a feel of the 1996 hit movie Independence Day and oddly there is a distinct tone of Armageddon from director Michael Bay, again another 90's disaster movie.

The trailer plays heavily on the idea that the human race visited the moon on the 1960's, and now the moon is coming to visit us, and some sort of alien is involved as we get a quick shot of something with tentacles in the trailer.

The movie stars Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson and we will most like be drop fed more info as the next six month go by, the release date is February 2022.

Director Roland Emmerich has been quiet since his 2016 sequel movie Independence Day: Resurgence, but he's back this year with Midway which has been given a 12A age rating in the UK.

Midway is a World War II true life drama about the Battle Of Midway starring Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson And Luke Evans.

The movie has been given A 12A rating by the BBFC for moderate violence, threat, bloody images, infrequent strong language and it has a runtime of 138 minutes (2 hours and 18 minutes) and it was passed uncut.

The UK and US release date is 8th November 2019.
