All news and discussion about Zack Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi epic “Rebel Moon”
Thematically, these movies seem like they try to celebrate the beauty of a traditional lifestyle — the backwater village where people exist in harmony with nature and each other represents a better way to live than the brutal, hierarchal, and technology-dependent military empire society.
It just doesn’t make sense. Why are there so many lavish visuals and “Snyder shots” which make technology look so cool? Why the hell is this a sci-fi movie in the first place?? It undercuts the main theme!!!
Rebel Moon just feels cheap and shallow, like Zach Snyder took a story he liked and grafted it into a sci-fi setting without considering how the pieces all fit together, creating a horrible monstrosity whose whole is considerably less than the sum of its parts.
In all fairness, I haven’t watched the entire movie (either of them) so maybe there’s something I’m missing. However, it’s my opinion that Netflix subscribers deserve better.

And co is defintely reading this but tbh I don’t think Zack uses Reddit
I generally liked these movies, but I was disappointed in the lack of thematic development. There's a lot to work with - forgiveness, the all-consuming drive for revenge, peaceful living vs. relentless expansion,etc- but the films don't have much to say about them.
Genius-level analysis. You are so smart, OP! I would never have come up with something like "if I don't watch the entire movie then I might have missed some things".
Anyway, "the beauty of a traditional lifestyle" is not at all the main theme of this series, although it is certainly related. You're welcome to actually finish it and then come back to discuss.
Bring it on, Zach and Co! I know you’re reading this.
