From Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind '300', 'Man of Steel', and 'Army of the Dead', comes 'Rebel Moon', an epic science-fiction event decades in the making. When a peaceful settlement on the edge of a distant moon finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors - outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge.

Unoriginal Star Wars Rip Off - Rebel Moon: Part One: A Child of Fire review by GI
This is a self indulgent and overcooked sci-fi that doesn't have an original bone in its body. Director Zack Snyder apparently conceived this a few years ago as a Star Wars film but that never got off the ground and so he's made it anyway and basically made a Star Wars rip off. Whole scenes seem to be copycats and he's not left it there. There's all manner of style and narrative copies of other films that are all far, far better than this (Dune, The Magnificent Seven) and even though some of the visuals are impressive and the fight sequences, despite too much grimacing slow motion scenes of people clobbering one another, are reasonable, it ends up seeming pointless and underwhelming as well as too long and then there's a Part 2 on the way.....Jeez. Overall this story of a tyrannical empire crushing all resistance in the galaxy, while wearing military clothing circa 1930s Germany, and having to hunt down a small band of rebels out to protect a small farming community on a remote moon is hackneyed beyond belief. It's quite violent so kids shouldn't really be watching this but I can't see it being remembered by anyone who does sit through it.
