Rebel Moon: Review

Minor spoilers ahead!

 

While suffering from pacing issues, Rebel Moon sets up a whole new franchise that looks to be exciting.

The story line in Rebel Moon was a lot different than I was expecting. While I thought it would be mainly an action packed movie, I appreciated Snyder trying to set up the characters, so that you will be rooting for them when part 2 comes out next year. I agree that it felt like a crossover between Star Wars and The Magnificent Seven, but it worked really well. The story line needed to be paced a lot better though, because it started off really slow, and it almost caused me to fall asleep.

The acting was amazing. Sofia Boutella managed to hold her own very well. Ed Skrein stole the show as Admiral Noble, such a great casting choice, and I am looking forward to seeing more of him in the next movie. Charlie Hunnam's performance was a lot different than I was expecting, but I am glad that it turned out the way it did. Ray Fisher is one character I wish we got to see more of. I am hoping for a spin-off on his character.

The visuals were top notch, but with Zack Snyder at the helm, it doesn't surprise me. Zack always takes pride in his visual effects, and this film is no exception.

The action scenes were very well done. The slow motion shots allowed you to take it all in, and make you think that someone might not make it out alive. Snyder is so good with his action scenes, and this film continues to prove my point.

The film has set up so many sequels and spin-offs, and I am so looking forward to seeing what Snyder has in store for part 2, and beyond. Congrats Zack Snyder, you have done it again.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...

3.5 out of 4 stars
