Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver

Today I enjoyed: Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver.

Honestly, I did not enjoy it. At all. I actually could not wait for it to end.

For most of my criticism about the movie, I am going to reference my former post about Part One. Literally nothing improved in this second part. And - if I remember correctly - while Zack Snyder promised, that the second part would add at least some missing pieces from the first part, it did not. What’s even worse: This time around the full stupidity of the whole premise and backstory hit me. A little farming village against a huge ass spaceship, that can wipe the whole village out in a single blast, and you want to tell me, they would not do that because of … wait for it … flour?! You read that right. Flour. On that note, Snyder seems to like farming a lot, as a third of the film seemed to be lense-flared slow-motion shots of people farming crops. What a mess!

It has been some time, since a movie has so utterly and entirely disappointed me. I love anything science fiction and even a poor sci-fi flick might entertain me enough for me to not be angry. But this time I am angry, both for the movies not being at least decent and for the time lost watching them. And I really wanted to like this one, and I would have loved to see it becoming the next Star Wars of sorts. But this was far from it. Given all the big names and talented people involved, I do not understand how it could turn out so poorly.

Long story short: Do not watch it. It is Netflix content and/or a Zack Snyder vanity project at their worst. Poor effects, poor script, poor camera work and mostly poor acting.
