With a huge following and major blockbusters under his belt, Zack Snyder has seemingly secured a deal with Netflix to kinda do whatever he wants. We saw this come to fruition with Army of the Dead a few years ago and now he’s at it again with kinda Star Wars!
Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire definitely raises some questions. Like is this movie a long montage? Why is everything slow-mo? When you join the squad, are you required to just stand silently in the background?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire!

Because Zack Snyder doesn't need coherent writing, characters etc. All he needs is slowmo (or even slowmo in already slowmo scenes), symbolism without any subtlety and a cery basic idea for a "plot". Seriously he knows how to make stuff look cool but for the love of god stop letting him write stuff. He is good as a director, that's it. He can't write to save his life.

The best thing to do with this movie is watch it with some friends and try to spot all the copied scenes and lifted ideas. Score one point each time you correctly identify something. e.g. "The girl with her head shaved and painted - that's from Mad Max Fury Road!" But before we can play this game, we need a canonical list of EVERY reference in Rebel Moon. For the referee to use. Who's gonna write it?

[@teppec]

You know, one of the things I love about this series is that the love of movies regularly still shines through. You aren't negative about a thing just to be negative 'for the clicks', and you create comedy without being overly cruel, understanding that sometimes there is just ridiculousness baked into the process that creates some wild end results for a finished movie. This movie deserved more cruelty. So much more.

[@imjoeimjoe]

this movie is the exception. it just plain sucked.

[@anthonypc1]

I liked the cinematography! They should make one of the alternate cuts of it have just the music track and all at normal speed so it's half the length. Or maybe have a story-centric cut too, and replace a quarter of the slow-mo shots with character building scenes.

Hi Ryan. Thank you for your awesome videos. I watch them over and over again as they soothe my soul.

Even the brother and sister reminded me of Matrix characters for some reason.
