Snyder’s passion project risks becoming subsumed by its own self-importance, but delivers bombastic mayhem and grandiose visuals by the bucket-load.
This misbegotten attempt at creating a new out-of-this-world Snyderverse is merely a knockoff dressed up in its director’s stylistic signatures.

Excellent science fiction, unique visual style, good pacing and acting, hints of almost warhammer 40k levels of detail and worldbuilding at times. A triumph.

Franchement les médias sont vraiment dur...
Le Film est plutôt sympa sans être un Banger non plus je mets 10 surtout pour remonter un peu la note autrement j aurais mis un 7/10.

Despite some cool action sequences and interesting aliens, the first Rebel Moon instalment is a disjointed ride through an under-realised universe.
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.
One of the best movies in 2023! I love it! Snider is genius, love every single movie that he makes.

Good film, the planet Maura/Veldt is supposed to be a socialist utopia, but the antagonist faction is in sci-fi soviet uniforms. This is fundamentally incorrect considering the antagonists are imperialists who use USA's war playbook.
Now I do understand that having the antagonists be in german clothing would emulate star wars waaaay too close, so I guess it's slightly forgivable.
The overall negatives are that it parallels Star Wars so closely I don't think Snyder had an original idea whatsoever, and recruiting for the resistance makes little sense because they seem to have a predetermined path of RNG, random guesswork and "join us random person"
Lastly, the platform scene is inspired by Goldeneye.

Just wow, so dissapointing on too many levels, the directing of the dialogue, acting, even de makeup. If it was the idea of making it look like a sixties scifi it went wrong. The script is bad the main hero again a woman is not even the main thing. Like a lord of the rings fellowship meets star wars meets highschool filmclub meets tiktok, short shallow characters. Just wow, so dissapointing

Since the last presidential election in the U.S., most of Hollywood jumped on the bandwagon that everyone really wanted social change, and that should be reflected in movies. That is what we are seeing now in many titles, including this one. I'm not arguing for or against that change, by the way, however, that notion without a doubt was shoved into films in a ham-fisted way. It takes years for scripts to get to approval, and then get to casting, production, shooting, then post-production, we are getting the flow of sewage out of our water pipes now from three years ago.
I think Snyder must have phoned this one in for the Netflix bucks. A couple of specifics both good and bad to give you an idea of what I mean:
- Stunning visuals most of the time
- Good performances by many of the actors
- The set pieces and most CGI are pretty cool
That is your three score. Now, the not-so-good:
- Another round of Rey-esque girl does it all storyline
- She alone sows fields using an animal drawn 1800's plow
- All the men, and I mean big, muscular men who could tear my head off, think negotiating with the "empire" so to speak is a good idea. She is the lone "we have to fight them," voice.
- This 90 pound girl takes down 10 soldiers, including using moves where after a twist-flip-kick, she has her legs straddling guys on two different occasions- while they are standing up (so now the soldier is face to face with her) and both times shoots them straight up through the chin
- The pistol she uses (and I am former military) is so big, Dirty Harry couldn't carry it
- Her fight scenes come complete with 'wip-wip-wip-wip' sounds as she twirls an axe or knife during fights
- She is the one person who rings the 'alarm gong' when the "empire" arrives- with a huge steel hammer that must weigh what she does, over and over and over again (we are talking Thor's hammer with a long handle, big)
- Matrix-y type fights that are constantly slowed down to show you all her super moves (except she has no powers)
- Beyond that, there is a LOT of talking. Now, obviously, most scripts involve talking. Unfortunately, this is every few minutes, another exposition scene.
-- In other words, two characters stop the whole storyline, and talk about what happened two hundred years ago, for what seems FOREVER.
-- This is telling not showing. It should be the other way around "Show, don't tell." Example:
Right: You watch a contemplative Luke Skywalker, as he looks on at a dual sunset, trying to figure out what his life is all about. You instantly know he is reflective on both the past, and future. Word count: 0.
Wrong: Anakin goes on for 10 minutes in dialogue about how Obi-Wan is jealous, and the real power is all his, oh, and he's a serial killer of families, with the other character staring blankly back most of the time. (Instead she should have witnessed an argument between the two, or a hologram of his killings, and had the proper reaction that the audience would... with no words needed, because it is shown).
In this case, Snyder has characters going on and on about what they should be showing you. "So, your leaving?" Cue 5 minutes of dialogue explaining it. Another weirdness: A C3P0 / Rogue One type droid is WASHING HIS FACE in a river. A girl he just met approaches. Cue 5 minutes of dialogue about what happened to someone else hundreds of years ago- and a "you remind me of her," from the droid, with a finishing touch about how honor has been lost. "I think it lives in you." Says the girl back to him, WHO JUST MET HIM 4 MINUTES AGO, and then from somewhere (she came to get a bucket of water) puts a crown of tied together daisies on the droid's head. She isn't collecting them as their talking. Did someone else leave it there? What is going on?? Cringe Snyder. Cringe.
The visuals are nice, however, there is no way I can recommend one hour and forty seven minutes of this bleh. If I hear another wip-wip-wip-wip of a twirling weapon, I will seriously be ill!
