When the ruthless forces of the Motherworld threaten a quiet farming village on a distant moon, a mysterious outsider becomes its best hope for survival.

[@Biggrin2894]

Listen up Netflix. For every film, you need a making of feature documentary!!! Keep the bonus features coming!!!

[@intuitivefilmanalysis]

good call

[@PeterAmet]

they do for most...hence this whole channel with hundreds of videos

[@intuitivefilmanalysis]

@@PeterAmet feature documentary means more than 40 minutes...

[@PeterAmet]

THIS was not more than 40 mins...@@intuitivefilmanalysis

For real, it’s a great way to learn how to do what these movies take to get made.

[@louisbogli1804]

The bennu looked photoreal. Nowadays I’m rarely impressed by CGI creatures but this one completely took me off guard!

[@Yetanother253]

I loved the scene with the spider-woman (Harmada). Pretty cool moment with Nemesis. Looking forward to seeing more of her character in the sequel.

[@EternityInGaming]

Jimmy, The Bennu, Harmada, & even those scorpion chair things. All so impressive looking.

[@darthmalicos9973]

That Jimmy CGI looks insane, just like Chappie or The Creator

[@Lumibear.]

I just watched this and I really enjoyed it, to me it felt like a cross between Mandalorian and Andor, but quite grown-up Star Wars that wanders away from the original universe a little, yet feels absolutely grounded in it, just, y’know, the next sector along or something.

[@They.luv.Davë]

I love Zack's work

[@hterra2706]

*AN ABSOLUTE, CREATIVE STORY-TELLING EXPERIENCE WITH VISUALS THAT EXCEED THE DREAMSCAPE OF THE HUMAN MIND.*

Can wait for Part 2 and the D-Cuts!

[@mr.phillips]

[@davia4794]

Waiting for the rated r cut 🔥

[@Vegan_Photographs]

Need to wait for part two first

[@jurgenmathiae6682]

Read the novelization it’s out already And it’s awesome

[@silverbackheathen]

The movie's special effects were impressive, especially the creatures and how they were used in the story. The attention to detail in designing the creatures made them stand out, adding a lot to the movie's look.

[@Zripas]

CGI was actually quite bad in quite few places.

[@StarlingInSpace]

Sometimes when a script is rejected more than once from multiple studios it’s kinda telling, more effort was needed for the writing

[@zombieowen]

I saw an ad for this, i thought it was a video game.

[@PeterAmet]

So crazy they add the digital blurring like its a bad lense.

[@Random-xd4zm]

Man Framestore, WETA, Rodeo, Scanline, Luma and Mammal all did an outstanding Job i Cant wait to See which Studios did which Sequence and which character i know Framestore did the Griffin He looked Fantastic. But would be nice if they would Name the Studios behind the creatures. The Shot where Jimmy is in the water and washes His face is the best Shot of the movie. All the replacement damn man .

[@arkwill14]

Zach Snyder _could_ be making some amazing movies -- as long as somebody else is writing it and a strong producer is keeping him focused. Otherwise he gets lost in the action/cinematography/special effect... at the expense of story.

[@alanwide4364]

You can say that again..His visual are stunning but at least he needs some co writers..Make it more simple ,like the fact that they travel across the universe to consolidate a single man doesnt make any sense

[@danfosterVO]

Beautifully done. That’s outstanding teamwork. Bravo.

[@nemomarc7841]

So amazing SFX Harmada 🕷 the GRIFFONS 🦅 and JIMMY Best scenes.

[@nobodi12]

love the behind the scenes on props and VFX. please do more. show props were made

[@chrollolucilfer4392]

Snyder movies have top tier cgi and vfx.

[@Zripas]

0:17 looks like some students homework

[@TxoriCom]

A story for the movie would have been nice...

[@thewitcherking937]

You had one.

[@StodaGryph]

I can only hope that magnificent Bennu work will encourage more films to feature proper gryphons in the future.

[@vercoda9997]

The best scriptwriters 20 quid could buy.

[@edube8332]

I hope there's a 4k disc set planned for this!!!

[@Olivierhero]

I loved the movie, lots of haters, but personally loved it, keep bringing cool Sci-Fi!

[@elysiumcore]

Wish you guys spent as much time on character development, coherent hero journey and a more original script - great effects and i hope part 2 does it better ⚡

[@ndo533]

That's the directors cut of part 1. It's not an excuse for how bad the PG cut is, but the directors cut is the actual script for the movie, the fully realized version. I just wish he could do all that within a 2 hr time frame

[@phaethonprime6427]

It won't.

[@YahbiiCot]

Nemesis's swords are the coolest weapons since Kylo Ren's lightsaber. There are a lot of really cool concepts in this movie like Jimmy and alien that was controlling the zombie. I hope part two or the extended version expands on the lore.

[@enginepy]

Show is the behind the scenes of the creative writing process. Oh wait. There was none…

[@dddharmesh]

That is an amazing behind the scene

[@WITFITMAN.]

YES ZACK 😎💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@arsenjovicic5204]

So good

[@VVVY777]

How about the behind the scenes of the writing and concept phase of this film? Oh, they didn't do any work on those? Ah makes sense.

[@thewitcherking937]

No they did.

[@lganeshan86]

❤❤❤ I love this movie. Can't wait for part 2. And hopefully later down the road we can get season episodes. I love the rebel moon franchise

[@eddiek8179]

Incredible? Really? Proficient? Yes. Acceptable? Yes. Incredible? Not even close.

[@eddiek8179]

The fight sequence is another level - like 5 levels below generic.

[@Motivation_Editz07]

Just give me the director's cut 🔥

[@TheVidgamejunkie]

Yessssss and in black and white and 4:3 aspect ratio!

[@RH1812]

We await the behind the script writing doc

[@arzabael]

I absolutely ❤ Jena Malone I want a poster of her

[@sbi168]

This film rocked. I still don't get why you didn't release both the "theatrical" and directors cut on day one , but I can wait. I guess. Great features on this film .bi love the vision on display in this movie.

[@hollywoodguy70]

If you mean the "R" rated cut, Zach said its like a completely different universe. The editing work alone for a 6+ hour epic will take time

[@Bastobff]

I like VILLAIN😂😂😂❤

[@garvin356]

Loved every second of this film. Keep it up Zack, keep up the excellent work my man! Cheers!

[@SnyderCutBR]

Will you add subtitles to the video?

[@Darkseidsolosfiction]

Can't wait for the R rated cut

[@Stefarooh]

Incredible visual effects - lol. Now that is the 2024 hyperbole

[@nanaantwi-boasiako9987]

Good stuff!

[@johnbeans2000]

Oh how Sci Fi has fallen...

[@artplanb9688]

Some say that stunning FX should not come at the expense of the story. Daytime TV, anybody?

[@LoudmouthReviews]

While this movie was highly flawed and had generally poorly developed characters it is visually a very impressive experience. Its pretty amazing that they made both parts and two different versions of each cut for only $166 million which is over $60 million less than Disney spend on The Marvels. Its clear Zack knows how to stretch his dollars a lot better. I hope the upcoming directors cut fixes the issues I had with the movie.

[@laerciomabota2117]

Epic

[@khymaaren]

If only I could care more about the finished film...

[@yelloroad]

Great job!!! 👏🏼 looking at #spacex and rebel moon takes you straight to wonderworlds. The Bennu & Jimmy scene, Stunt Albert, and launch, robot-emotions & shoot, intro-of-characters man ...just too awesome to watch. Wonder why IMdb hates this masterpiece. Kudos the entire team

[@allandm]

Amazing vfx work, but if the writing is weak no amount of pretty pictures can save it. Writing is the foundation of a film.

[@natsohigh5552]

If only this amount of effort was put into the script ........

[@dijeshesjsichs6771]

I don't get why these people are actually proud of the digital effects. They look half finished. The creatures have no weight or mass. Interaction with the real elements is total garbage like that platform floating in middle of the green screen goo. The Jimmy thing is just okay.

[@popcornbuster752]

Cool

[@humbertosurian]

worst movie (by far) I've watched in a fews years... in a fews years filled with really bad movies...

[@KoQuesada]

Terrible script. with a lot of plot holes, cliche dialagues, and characters poorly introduced and later on the direction is just a waste of time.... 4 out of 10.

[@KoQuesada]

Nothing, I say it because the movie is a piece of shit just that ! :) @RebelPlanet1

[@Ned-nw6ge]

my only criticism with the cgi of almost every flying fantasy creature I’ve seen that people have tried to design realistically in live action series, is that these creatures have mammalian ribcages. If realism is what they’re really going for those dragons and griffins in those shows are gonna need more bird- like ribcages with keels instead of flat sternums. They often leave the hips uncovered too in flight (when the wing feathers or membrane ends in front of the pelvis), which would be something else that wouldn’t really work. But hey, dragons and griffins don’t exist 🤷‍♂️

[@cburg]

Zack needs adult supervision. This man is why Netflix is always raising their prices, he's a money pit for utter trash content.

[@KarwinDzungliKrol]

Maybe the movie wasn't as epic as Batman vs Superman or other DC movies made by Snyder, but still it was the best production of 2023

[@carlosalbert7667]

What a piece of CGI woke trash. Don't waste your time on this awful movie.

[@glaucioreis]

I actually thought the gryphon was an unused model from some other production and they used it to save money. Or why in the Universe would you make an alien creature identical to a gryphon, except it is black? But then you also have a mix of D&D drider and Borg queen. I enjoyed the movie, but I was surprised at the lack of imagination in the design of alien creatures.

[@kptmaci4979]

yup, same. It looked good, but lacked imagination. So repetitive. I saw same designs for gryphon and spider-lady in hundred other fantasy media

[@namelesswon]

Incredible. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Cave_Monkeys]

The storyline was missing a lot

[@barbaravs1814]

Beatrice ❤

[@Maidensociety]

I feel like 50/50 i waiting this movie for so so long and when i finally saw it i keep with the sensation that the story have big missing moments like when you write something lightly and fast with no background or more profound scripts. I know that's impossible put all in 2 hours but some of the characters and the storyline itself was very poor. Also, i really enjoyed the behind scenes and the concept art behind it would ve nice. Specially for artists in the field like myself. But, i still wait and see the 2 part❤

[@benzeneb2144]

History repeats by Netflix, Why always with Snyder??? I want 300 like Snyder vision and the final product, not like Rebel Moon in which I just can't be bothered about any character whether they die or win.

[@hoodwinkedfool]

Astoundingly impressive amount of work for a 12 year old's make-a-wish kid's dreams.

[@JTGallant]

Let's see you do better. Go ahead. I'll wait.

[@TheTenth666]

well done CGI mostly, the sceneries felt very lifeless and unreal, like old matte paintings but somewhat worse as the colors and details don't feel they should be there

[@onemancinema4642]

Ha ha ha! Incredible FX? I'm not sure what planet you're on but this movie feels small, looks small and has no depth of field with its terrible CGI. Netflix is really doubling down on this trash.

[@DaBuild]

They should have invested in story telling and charcter development instead. This movie is soulless.

[@First2TheKee]

I thought it was Wren from @CorridorDigital at 0:04 seconds

[@syedmuhammadsaim4194]

The movie being on multiple planets, doesn't felt large scale, very average depth. felt like an episode of a multi-series show. CGI on spot

[@DanielZhangyeet]

Did anyone else think the thumbnail was live action dancing toothless

[@PooBah]

Special effect, pfft! I'd like to meet the 5 year old child that wrote the dialog and storylines.

[@EmanueleDiBacco]

dude.. you're out of tipic, didn't they teach you at school what contextualizing means?

[@MoorishMade]

I enjoyed it. Of course there were elements from previous movies past, but I took it for what it was. Yes it was kind of cliche’ some of the reinvented things, but if you take it for what it is and what it’s not. I enjoyed it. I enjoy seeing their capabilities in VFX than anything else.

[@LazyEyePolitics]

Hahaha they left the comments on. 😂😂😂😂 This. Movie was terrible. Less drawing. More writing plot. Your welcome

the CGI is better GTA VI trailer than this movie, LOL.

lens flare and slow motion are not enough to make a scenario.

[@federicoiglesias8234]

For it to be compared to heavy metal it lacked a ton of gore

[@wayfarervisual]

Apparently, the gore is coming. Read the novelisation and it shows they cut a tonne to make the pg-13 version.

[@JaXuun]

this movie was cringe. so many unnecessary slowmo scenes. Many characters were introduced for nothing. They died spontanious in stupid ways or didnt really add anything to the team. i wonder how the extended cut will be. Snyder follows his Dead Army approach and seems to focus more on superificial visual trickery ( DOF, Slowmo ) than on anctual character development and story. maybe this movie was made for the tiktok Gen ?

[@Zaqariyah]

The film looks like Zack wasn't there and only VFX artists are partying

[@thewitcherking937]

Thats a big ass lie.

[@Tyleulenspiegel]

This movie was hot garbage. It's painfully obvious Snyder wanted to make a Star Wars movie but was turned down.

[@oldrichstibor2845]

this movie is sucker punch part duex. Very beautiful moronic nonsensical KRAP. Snyder is maybe the best visual director in the world, but also the worst writer.

[@intuitivefilmanalysis]

He just said 4 movies at once? 3 more Parts coming?

[@barbaravs1814]

I suppose he says 4 because there's part one and part two, and each part has a pg 13 and rated r cut

[@darkmido6087]

Tobad they forgot to write a script for the movie...

[@thewitcherking937]

They didn't.

[@drchtct]

This has to be a joke. The "special effects" in this movie looked like a school project filmed in a backyard. Go to real sets and only enhance these with special effects. Your movie feels tiny, it has no scale, worlds aren't believable. Why is there only ever one character in focus all the time? Looks like a $50 TTArtisan lens, but somehow made worse digitally. I don't think I have to name more examples, movie essay YT will be fill of it very soon.

[@silverblue73]

SO much work to make CG look like……. CG. I just don’t get it.

[@raymondseye]

Incredible! This is why Zack Snyder is ma mann! Snyder is simply brilliant; can’t wait for part 2 and the R rated version. Thank you @Netflix for the TRIPLE TREAT! I am definitely stuck on #Netflix for a while. #obsessed
