In this sci-fi outing penned by Zack Snyder, Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten, we begin with a premise that a space-faring civilization heads into the stars to squeeze resources from subsistence farmers inhabiting a far-flung moon. These subsistence farmers literally scrabble in the dirt and scatter seed. No hydro or aeroponics, no industrial-scale food production, nothing. Either the villains are the dumbest villains in the multiverse, or the scriptwriters are the dumbest writers in the history of sci-fi. We think both possibilities are likely.
From the botched premise on, this film never improves in quality. Did we mention it's also quite boring? Lucasfilm rejected the original pitch for REBEL MOON years ago, perhaps with concerns for those same reasons listed above. Zack Snyder disagreed, obviously. Unfortunately, Netflix footed the bill for proving Lucasfilm right.
