Rebel Moon review: Zack Snyder’s new space opera is ‘gushing Star Wars fan fiction’

BBC  

Rebel Moon review: Zack Snyder’s new space opera is ‘gushing Star Wars fan fiction’ Netflix While it's heartwarming that an idea Zack Snyder conceived when he was young has reached the silver screen, his new space opera Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire is 'derivative'. There's a scene early on in Zack Snyder's new space opera, Rebel Moon, in which an innocent farmer goes to a seedy cantina with a mysterious warrior in a hooded cloak. The mercenary is named Kai, rather than Han Solo, but it's fair to say that Rebel Moon is set in a galaxy that isn't far, far away from the one in Star Wars. Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire Director: Zack Snyder Cast: Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae Run time: 2h 14m Release date: 22 December on Netflix Once they've hooked up with Kai in the nearest hive of scum and villainy, they fly with absurd speed and ease to a series of worlds that happen to have Earth-like gravity and atmosphere, and then, with even more absurd speed and ease, they find the very people they are searching for and persuade them to join their crew.
