I liked it.
It's not a good movie, but it was entertaining. The action was fun. A bit too much slow mo.
I thought it could have been better as a show, but I wouldn't trust Netflix with it

Zack Snyder and too much slow mo? But, it's the iconic duo!
Like Michael Bay and really big explosions!
i just watched it. it was so-so.
i would call it "space nazis vs an alderaan suicide squad"
I’d say the, ahem, borrowings from The Seven Samurai were quite blatant, via the rightfully forgotten Battle Beyond the Stars
Battle Byond the Stars was a classic! A pure fever dream of scifi kitch... this, the dirty dozen, and the price is right were my childhood stay home from school sick daytime tv memories.
This line is priceless:
Remember Lobo? He disobeyed orders, and now Sador's wearing his left foot
The dialogue should have been gpt prompts. The baddie fucking a tentical monster didnt really move the story along.
In my career of 20 years doing this, reviews have never equated to performance. A movie will either perform or it won’t. People will either love it and be connected to it, and I think what this movie has is an emotional drive and a core and characters that are vulnerable. And of course, there’s sequence and action and visual — it’s a magnificent looking film. But I think that at the core of it, it’s got emotion. There’s an emotional engine and a currency that runs through the film that I think works, so I’d invite people to check it out.
Well, it is nice that he believes in Rebel Moon.
I think it was a pretty weak film but not Batman vs Superman level of bad. Definitely deserves criticism for its poor story, bad dialogue, awful special effects, non-existent editing, and general lack of anything resembling excitement or a soul. Should it be critically panned and/or ridiculed? Absolutely.
I always welcome more sci-fi, but Rebel Moon (Part One, at least) was propped up by little more than Boutella's cleavage-in-slow motion, IMHO.
Ragtag group of individuals protect defenceless town from interlopers is one of the most generic premises imaginable, how much writing was really needed. The most recent sci-fi specific version was during The Mandalorian and it was still generic there too.
And while generic, it was still better done than the 45 minutes of Rebel Moon I managed to sit through.
