Zack Snyder directs Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou and Ed Skrein in this direct follow-up to his sci-fi epic where the warriors defend a village on the farm planet Veldt.

There’s something quite cunty about following up something so expansive and visually unrestrained with a two hour war movie set within one dusty cubed mile. The days of galaxy hopping team assembling over strange new worlds is over. This is a curiously inert homage to Seven Samurai and Witness that just kinda happens in front of you with minimal excitement.
