Part One: A Child of Fire - December 22, 2023
Part Two: The Scargiver - April 19, 2024

Zack firing on all cylinders with this one, it seems.

 

[StueyDuck]

Looks a'ight... I was hoping it was going to be more Dune and less star wars x lord of the rings in space

I hope the sci-fi aspects are given attention and we don't have people ladies floating in space and using magic powers to fly through a windscreen

From Zack? Especially that it started as Star Wars movie pitch.

 

[Revolutionary]

Hard to get excited about another Netflix Snyder joint when Army of the Dead was the worst thing he's ever done.

 

[FunkMiller]

As per usual for Snyder, it's visually impressive.

I'm not exactly seeing a lot of originality or anything new in this though... very, very derivative. Mind you, Star Wars is a fucking disaster now, and Warhammer won't be out for years yet, so it might be a decent stop gap.

 

[StueyDuck]

Yeah. But remember star wars is essentially a dune clone too with a 7 samurai twist.

I just find high fantasy super boring these days.

Marglock the high priest from gargunbor has the eye of pasisythus found only in the depths of numemheim. With it he plans on using pathos to cover the moon of rebellia with the dark veil.

That was literally shit spurted from my arse and it sounds like 90% of high fantasy stories.

>what if the princess was a badass warrior

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

Insert south park strong women song

 

[Little Mac]

It's Snyder. It will be incredibly appealing visually but dumb as shit. He makes 90+ minute music videos.

 

[ManaByte]

He makes 90+ minute music videos.

 

[IDKFA]

Agreed.

Incoherent story with giant plot holes my cat could see through.

My expectations for Rebel Moon are rock bottom.

 

[ManaByte]

Army of the Dead was out of focus.

 

[Days like these...]

What in the John Carter meets Dune meets Elysium sci hell is this? It looks all over the place. Hard pass

 

[VN1X]

Well at least it can't be worse than any of the new Star Wars movies right?

 

[Thirty7ven]

Oh look another skinny midget who is an incredible fighter, leader, lover, prophecy child, saves the world from evil.

 

[jason10mm]

And they say AI can't write scripts!

This feels more like that Valeryia flick or the Jupiter one, with weirdness for the sake of weirdness. Spiderchicks, eagle people, space hillbillies, another fascist empire run by a boy?!?! Let's hope it is at least as good (rewatchable) as Riddick or Fifth Element.

 

[kruis]

The plot sounded like a frontal assault on my intelligence. I can't take this shit seriously anymore. And f**k off with the generic "a child prophesied to save the universe" fantasy nonsense.

 

[near]

A space opera with Snyder's visual style is right up my alley. I only hope the writing is better than Army of the Dead because that was awful.

 

[AJUMP23]

Zack does Star Wars.

That's no moon.

 

[EviLore]

Dune x LotR x Star Wars eh.

Looks bombastic visually but shallow. Hopefully it's a scifi/fantasy epic on the level of the Snyder Cut instead of another Army of the Dead, since the latter was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

 

[kurisu_1974]

I watch everything sci-fi so I'm stoked, cast looks cool too.

 

[Batiman]

Looks pretty good. Ike dune/star wars. I always enjoyed zacks work but he usually misses the landing and is movies tend to be all over the place.

 

[mortal]

Going off that trailer it doesn't look cohesive.
Many characters with clashing settings and motifs, which makes it look like 3 or more different movies cobbled together.

 

[Pagusas]

I really hate Synder's visual style.

 

[Ishma3L]

More like Rebel BOON, AM I RITE?

 

[jason10mm]

More like Rebel BOOM, AM I RITE?

FTFY

More explosions in this film than all of Michael Bay movies put together

 

[ahtlas7]

Looks like an uplifting, fight for your rights to party, Snyder creation. Optimistic about this one.

 

[DeafTourette]

The trailer looks bombastic and right up my alley!

 

[The Cockatrice]

Only Snyder can mash 100 genres into a movie. Will this mash soup be good tho? Doubt it but eh will see.

Agreed it's all over the place

 

[FunkMiller]

I should point out here that I genuinely think, if someone else is fully controlling the story and characterisations instead of him, Snyder would be an ideal director for the Warhammer 40k series/movie. If anyone can do gigantic fucking grimdark, it's him.

 

[Fbh]

Visually it looks nice.
It's a Snyder movie though so everything else will be terrible. And with how Netflix is able to make creators put out their worst work I fear how bad the plot will be.

Will still watch though

It's like Valerian, Jupiter Ascending, John Carter and Dune had an orgy.

 

[Trunx81]

Slow-mo in the first seconds of the trailer - yep, it's a Snydermovie. Let's see if Disney will sue, the swords are a blatant rip-off. And he remade the "This is Sparta" scene.

 

[mortal]

Yes. I thought it was all too much, but I'll give it a watch.

I'll wait for impressions from gaffers

 

[Elbereth]

Snyder had a certain cinematic flair to his films that is just sublime. Second only to Cameron in my eyes.

 

[Billbofet]

Snyder sure does have great trailers. I actually like more of his movies than I don't, but his trailers are almost always works of art in and of themselves.
I watch the Man of Steel and Watchmen trailer all the time!

 

[IntentionalPun]

I prefer his brother Rob's work.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I really hate Synder's visual style.

Same

 

[Konnor]

Just like Ryan Johnson Snyder likes to subvert your expectations

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I think it looks pretty cool. In a dumb fun sort of way.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

That was certainly a thing I guess.

 

[CGNoire]

It's Snyder. It will be incredibly appealing visually but dumb as shit. He makes 90+ minute music videos.

Im a Snyder Bro and I detect no lies.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

He should stay away from writing.

 

[EviLore]

Hmm, Shay Hatten...

Lead writer on JW4, secondary writer on Army of the Dead and JW3. At least Snyder is not the top credit for this one.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I think I read this pitch drunk in a bar in LA....

Serious Fifth Element mashup of Star Wars + Harry Potter + LOTR + DUNE. Snyder to direct.

*written in coke-infused red lipstick from the napkin under an empty $44 double shot whiskey glass.

 

[What A Shame...]

So much lens flare.
So much slow-mo.

 

[M.W.]

Looks like Snyder shit.

Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing. Most of the stuff in the list was fun in my eyes. I've seen good writers make bad shit and vice versa.
