Zack Snyder directs Sofia Boutella, Ed Skrein and Charlie Hunnam in this sci-fi epic where a band of rebels are recruited to protect a peaceful planet from enslavement.

Space vagina. Intergalactic Inglorious Basterds. Intergalactic Frankenstein. Intergalactic Magnificent 7. Intergalactic Star Wars. Jena Malone as a xenomorph spider. Intergalactic Anti-Climax. You get the picture. It is very derivative. Very pompous. Very slo-mo heavy. The cast isn’t the most exciting bunch of almost names and character actors. Yet I kinda dug it. Much like The Creator I didn’t really care how unoriginal it was as the visuals struck a deep pulsing nerve in teenage genre fanboy me. This is like a load of Heavy Metal album sleeves and forgotten single run comic series come to life. It is a shame we don’t get to experience Snyder’s grand, sincere, loopy tributes in the multiplexes anymore. As follys go, I’d watch Rebel Moon again with little coercion. Skrein and Boutella did well. A man tames and flies a giant crow griffin. Sign of the intergalactic devil!
