Bizarre movie.
>randomly jumped
The Han Solo guy was helping her assemble her team so he could sell them all for bounties to the bad. It's stupid, but it's not random.
The rest is correct, it's a bizarre film. The General does no leading, the ninja assassin does no assassination, the beast tamer does no beast taming and so on. The rebel leader guy's death is odd. He never tries to shoot at the canopy of the gunner on the Imperium ship. He just grabs a spear and jumps towards it and gets shot. Then he kills the gunner, dies, and his hand slips and pilots the Imperium ship into crashing. What?
>"cheesy" means unoriginal, cliche
You honestly think this obvious Star Wars (but with sex!) ripoff is original? It was his actual Star Wars pitch before he was turned down and had to hire the laziest concept artists on Artstaion to crap out a pile of generic space designs so he could make it anyway for Netflix. Zack fails in both style and substance.
things become "cheesy" or cliche because they work. The issue is zack snyder's "style" is strangling every other element.

The point is "cheesy" just means "unoriginal." The lack of originality isn't why the elements suck, the fact zack snyder is directing is why the elements suck.

no, it doesn't. "CAMP" means "cringe." you're literally using the word wrong.
That shot is hilarious, the timing around the speed ramp and the blink of blocking the sun, the mid-sprint pose.
Like Zach is holding my eyes open just to see the exact moment his action figure does a little pose, then asking if I saw it after before moving on. Not only is he childish, he's tedious in a derivative way. You can feel the undiluted interest in those slick little moments, as if that's all you need to make a movie: hyperkinetic Lincoln logs, stacked 2.5hrs high. For shits sake he pitched a Star Wars to Disney when they were desperate for feature film lP, they passed, and so he pulled out the IP and made it anyway. If that doesn't lay out his approach, and partly justify them passing...
I saw a bit of this because my dad was watching it, the part where the original Daario from Game of Thrones is intimidating and killing some sci-fi farmers. It was literally just trope-after-trope-after-trope. Nobody in it could act but it's not like the written-by-a-14-year-old dialogue gave them much opportunity to. Snyder is such a mental midget. Doesn't even deserve to be called slop, more like sludge.
I thought the main actress was good, but I didn't believe her character for a second, it was unearned. Like the scrawny soldier boy getting some good hits it. They immediately follow that up with her doing slomo on everyone the whole movie. It really is a bizarre fricking movie.
How are people getting filtered exactly?
I've always liked Snyder and how seriously he takes himself, especially since everything has to be coated in ten layers of post-irony these days but this one is hard to defend
I can even forgive how unoriginal the setting is since at least it's "inspired" by cool looking shit like 40k but the movie itself is just an endless succession of tired cliches we've already seen a thousand times and it isn't even that visually pleasing compared to the rest of Snyder's stuff, it's way too blurry and you can almost see the green screen most of the time
And the acting is absolutely atrocious
>you can almost see the green screen most of the time
I wonder if that's a Netflix budget thing. There were some shockingly obvious chroma key moments in the film. Some ropey CG work too. The establishers on the planet with the pillars where they meet the pirate army looked like a video game cutscene. And this is a film that came out a year after Avatar 2?
>And the acting is absolutely atrocious
The most baffling thing for me is why they chose to give Kai a Belfast accent. Charlie Hunnam is a Geordie - why not have the Geordie accent be his little gimmick?
i must admit, i wanted (needed) rebel moon to be good. snyder is the only macho man type they let make movies anymore. well, i fell asleep during rebel moon after like an hour and never had the urge to finish it sense. guess that says it all, it sucks
I didn't hate it, but I thought it was a very strange film. The team could have been trimmed down a bit. Just the general and the pirate army is enough for their goal, and then flesh them out. As it is, it reminded me a lot of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, in that the main plot keeps getting diverted off by side quests. The side quests feel like padding, but are also too short to feel fully fleshed-out in their own right. I believe there's an extended cut coming in a month of two and I'd be interested in seeing that and treating it as a mini-series.
Sophia isn't a great actress for the lead and the backstory to her character coming out in drips and drops was fine but could have happened sooner.
There was also tons of setting up stuff for the future, but devoting runtime to that is a gamble, because it could detract from the story you're trying to tell in the here-and-now and make people uninterested in the future. I liked the robot character and I wish we had more of him, and they tease that at the end, but they probably could have just introduced him in the next film and done all of his development then. As it stands, he literally runs away at the end of the first act and isn't seen until the second-to-last scene. Same for the Asian twink soldier that survived the first act and is never seen again. I thought him and the blonde farm girl would be in our team, but instead almost all of the characters from the first act get thrown in the bin.
That all said, there's a lot to like in the film and there's potential for a decent overarching story across the saga, but as a single film it just doesn't work for me.
>her character coming out in drips and drops was fine but could have happened sooner.
I firmly believe that would fix the movie. If the entire movie would keep refering back to elaboration on her character, and why it's important, and why she's the Main Character. That would be a great film. it feels like directing 101
I rebel.

Zack - "Increase cheese by 100%! I want to smell it in the final cut!"
"cheesy" means unoriginal, cliche. zack is camp, devotion to style above all other concerns.

everything about this was garbage
zero redeeming qualities
the production must have been like a real life The emperors got no clothes
lmao, this is what happens when Yes Men have Yes Men
>The emperors got no clothes
That's Zacks entire "career" after 300
Let me hop in and I'm in

another trash movie "made for modern audiences" to add to the pile

wouldve been a much better movie with a male lead instead of a forgetting slopfest.
why can't I just have a good sci fi movie
because you slept on Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Nice try but I'm one of the few people who shills that
valerian was so bad though
>if you want good sci-fi you have to praise this movie with 2 minutes of good sci-fi and 2 hours of garbage
i guess you love for all mankind too
Sneeder so won't bother watching it but the summary sounds exactly the same as Battle Beyond The Stars.
Which is the Magnificent Seven in space anyway. I don't need to see another M7 remake.
>2024
>still stuck rewatching Aliens and Starship Troopers
and Matrix and Total Recall
