Instead of establishing and repeating the same flavor, we are presented with a sci-fi-tasting menu of increasing complexity.

This misbegotten attempt at creating a new out-of-this-world Snyderverse is merely a knockoff dressed up in its director’s stylistic signatures.

This is a very good movie with a very good preparation and very good execution. I dont understand why some people give a very bad review. To me, those negative review sounds more like political/ideological agenda than telling the truth about what this movie really is

It’s essentially the Snyder Cut of every science fiction and fantasy touchstone of the past 100 years — a jam-packed, ransacked greatest-hits reel posing as a saga.

Ultimately, "Rebel Moon" resembles little more than a grab-bag collection of world-building influences, mythology, and epic storytelling that we've seen done better many times before.

Crumbling under the weight of its own visionary grandiosity, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon is a series of amazing-looking sets and costumes and effects looking for a story, characters, emotion — really, anything that might raise the pulse.

While many of the film’s action sequences are in slow motion, it’s the story’s narrative (credited to Snyder, Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad) that really crawls.

It’s hard to be even morbidly curious, let alone excited, about any future iterations or installments of a franchise so determined to remix a million things you’ve seen before into one thing you’ll wish you’d never seen at all.

The film was actually quite okay. The bridge to Star Wars and others is of course unmistakable and sometimes astonishing how it is copied here. Then the maker of the film comes along and you don't have to be surprised at the countless repetitive slow images. Despite the fact that it is completely overshadowed by Star Wars and co and there is like zero characterization of the figures, I had fun putting together a small resistance cell like a video game. 3/5 spaceships.

I'm a big Snyder fan. Man of Steel is one of my fav films. But Rebel Moon is just really bad. Absolutely terrible story telling and character development, very boring, very poor pacing, useless characters come and go, bad acting. Took me 3 times to watch it all the way through. I kept falling asleep. Part 2
