Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

[Nikosandros]

I found it silly, campy and completely unoriginal. The CGI was rather bad. But I still enjoyed it...

It was a visual feast for sure. Snyder does have style, just lacks substance. I guess my expectations were met because I expected Sucker Punch in Space. Could have been a good movie if they just stuck to a Magnificent Seven in Space instead of adding all the space Nazi opera junk.

However, I did find the weapon visual choices cheesy. I mean, its a very violent movie, but the gore was kept low, but not nonexistent. There was a scene they dragged a body through a streak of blood implying it happens frequently. Otherwise it was like laser guns that shot water balloons.

There was a very telling scene in the opening fight where she puts the gun under the guy's chin and pulls the trigger and he just dies.

I’m usually pretty easy to please. But wow. That was crap. It was boring. I kept thinking, “why am I supposed to care?” Cut rate Tarzan rides a griffon. Ok? And this matters why?

That was just awful.

My thoughts are they didn’t know if they wanted a space opera like Star Wars/dune or a sci-fi western samurai/magnificent 7. So shoe horned both to push this into 2+ movies. It’s all going to suffer for it too.

This is a good summary. I thought this would be a space epic so was very confused when I got 7 samurai.

And the 7 samurai are just plain boring!!

I also got some game kd thrones final season zombie night vibes, in that some of the darks were so dark i couldn’t tell what was Happening

Well...it wasn't bad. It wasn't great, but wasn't so bad that I would avoid part 2. In fact, I look forward to see what they will do with part 2 since this part didn't really solve any of the questions they started at the beginning of the movie with.

It was bad. It was so bad. It was so very very bad. Unfortunately it took itself too seriously to be laughably so.

I was really hyped for this movie and I couldn't even finish it.

Yeah, I couldn't get past the Cantina scene from Star Wars.

When expectations are higher, judgments are harsher. Which is probably why Battle Beyond the Stars is reasonably well remembered: people don't expect much from Roger Corman, so when it's not a complete stinker it's regarded as a win.

Special effects aside, I thought BBtS was better than Rebel Moon part 1.

I haven't seen BBtS since, I dunno, the 80s? And I didn't finish Rebel Moon part 1. But there you have it.
