As ancient prophecies foretell the rise of a chosen one, a disparate group of heroes must unite against a common foe in "Galactic Reckoning." The story unfolds on the desert planet of Eldoria, where a mystical force known as the Essence is both a source of power and a harbinger of doom. The oppressive Galactic Empire, led by the malevolent Emperor Zethrax, seeks to harness the Essence to solidify its dominion over the cosmos. The only hope lies in the hands of an unlikely alliance drawn from different walks of life.

It was initially a passion project inspired by a plane conversation thirty years ago between Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad wondering what would happen if Seven Samurai and Star Wars were combined. The idea was initially pitched to Lucasfilm as an R rated Star Wars spinoff, but rejected. After years of on and off development, (ultimately spurred on by Lockdown) he ended up pitching it to Netflix to try and be a competitor, with an R rated cut and spin offs in the pipeline. So less AI and more people trying to compete with Star Wars by putting their own spin on it.

I dont even know him when I watched 300 nor army of the dead, but the latter makes me hate his lack of character development or pacing

[@Tigatron1448]

@@nate.infinity lol, you're not wrong... but there's a place for his type of movies when done well, like 300 and Watchmen. Those are genuinely fun and enjoyable movies. I think it's possible he could direct stuff like that and be very successful again. The problem is he keeps trying to touch a pen and getting involved with the scripts. There seems to be a very clear pattern of the more involved he is with the story/script, the worse the movie ends up being. On a completely different note, I'm blown away by how delusional and insane his fans are. I'm shocked at how hard they are defending this film and some of the wild shit they're using as a defense. Someone legit told me... "I'm not sure why you're hating it so much, his daughter died, give him a break." They cite movies from over a decade ago as proof that he's still a good director. They say the Snyder cut "saved Justice League", which is crazy because all that cut did was turn a bad movie into a mid one, while costing the studio another 70 million to make. I simply don't understand why they defend him so hard.

[@JonLemerond1]

I loved it when the guy who owns the slave/prince says he'll let him go if he can tame the griffin that he also owns. It makes no sense for him to do it and he could have done it any time he wanted, but because the protagonist girl showed up he'll do it now so he can tack on an agreement that she'll be his slave if the slave/prince fails... an agreement that he could never have enforced anyway... best movie ever.

[@gamedude407]

And then the slaveowner fucking dies. It felt like a boy telling me a "cool dream" he had you're just like "wow, cool," nodding In response. Probably one of the most mindless parts of the movie. And then the guy they freed contributes nothing the rest of the movie.

[@TaramiBedona]

The way that scene should have gone is that the protagonists should have gone on a side quest together to capture a rare and valuable creature that the slave owner wanted. In return he would release the dude from his debt. It would give the protagnists time to bond, the dude to show his skills by taming the wild creature and the farmers a chance to prove to him that they're worth helping. The pilot would refuse and just hang back at the compound while they're off risking their lives, hinting at his questionable loyality by showing it rather than telling us. Also, the slave owner would live, because fundamentally he's a business man and he honors business agreements. Skeevy and greedy, yes, but not cartoonishly evil.

I totally feel some of the Star Wars writing but honestly my first thought comparison wise was Warhammer 40k -Fascist human empire that is literally called "The Imperium" -Human sect obsessed with technology and augmenting themselves with it literally called "The Mechanicum" -Human leaders name is literally Belisarus (Belisarus Cawl being the leader of The Mechanichum in 40k) -The Ecclesiarchy within this human empire is and the way they act, literally the same feeling as the Inquisition from 40k. Rebel Moon even has these weird priest dudes (who literally seem to do nothing the entire movie) in all red who further reinforce that vibe. And that's just what I remember. To be honest I watched it right as it came out and barely remember much outside the basic premise of the story and the similarities I noticed. The movie was pretty unmemorable so I'm honestly even struggling to remember all the characters names. There could be a lot of other blatant similarities I totally missed.

Kinda felt like they pulled a lot of stuff out of 40k. The look of the imperial officers, those medics at the end resemble technomancers or tech priests, the wording of things like the academy militarum. I dont think it's the worst thing I've seen, definitely far from the best (still better than the sequels iykyk). The film pulled a lot of inspiration out of lots of other media seemingly, not just star wars. But I think the biggest thing I hate is that the movie was advertised essentially to be star wars but with sex, gore and cursing. This all felt very PG13 to me when I think it could've benefited from being the rated R experience they were selling to people. Apparently the rated R cut will be coming later but I think it's hilarious that zack deliberately chose to make this version the first impression rather than the rated R cut. It's a bad look and the real reason this film should be criticized. They specifically watered down this version so people would be drawn to the rated R cut in the future. It's like selling a DLC of a movie. Absolutely hilarious.

Rebel moon was actually pitched as a Star Wars story before they made it, its own franchise. There’s a reason on why it’s so similar.

[@GlytchGames]

This movie feels like if Bethesda made a Star Wars game and there’s no main player character, just a bunch of NPCs

[@JoelGarcia-lu3tw]

So starfield?

[@fredbearchannel976]

Charlie truly is a hero for sacrificing himself to see shit bad films what a legend

[@mytherin]

It reminds me so much of Bright from years ago. Like the characters there also felt like poorly written NPC. I think Netflix with Sci-fi and fantasy just see “oh this person has an interesting story board for parts of a movie let’s give them control because those types of movie need cool visuals.”

[@chouderr1089]

I was skimming through this movie to find the bits he mentioned so I could laugh at the source. as I was going though I discovered that this movie shows the main villain casually having wild kinky sex with a tentacle monster half way through. why? idk. but i feel like that sums this movie up pretty well.

I liked the part when it turned into How to Train Your Dragon for five minutes and then it never pays off that plot-point in the final battle and the character who was in that scene does nothing but run around shirtless. Also it was nice of Anthony Hopkins to read the Star Wars title crawl as narration so Snyder could avoid being sued.

this sounds like a DnD gamemaster who wanted to have cool npcs but didnt know what to do with them and brought them along for the players to interact with for no reason

Henry Cavill gave Zack a 40k novel, that was about the extent of his imagination.

[@thefurbyqueen7572]

my mom was watching that yesterday, not only did she fall asleep 30min in but she literally thought it was star wars lmao

[@adamuria]

the way charlie describes this movie makes it seem like watching someone’s playthrough of baldurs gate except they never interact with their party members

[@proctordoctor5756]

I actually watched this with my family today and we thought it was so bad it was good! We're actually excited for the next movie to see how much more ridiculous it gets 😅

[@MDestron2282]

That's the only way to enjoy a movie like that. With a group of people that can just laugh and joke about it the whole time.

[@iMatterhorn7]

@@MDestron2282for sure, that's why Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey was funny, cause my friends and I were making jokes the whole movie xD

[@aeoligarlic4024]

'so bad it was good', so kinda like Sucker Punch? that really does sound like zack snyder lol

[@Dr.SwagPHDinDrip]

I watched this with almost my entire family who was over for Christmas, the first couple of minutes were ok, but this really felt like someone put WH40K and Starwars together but really poorly.

[@SKYCROOSWILSON]

The first few minutes really gave off a 40k x Star wars vibe, then it just went into very poorly executed plagiarism.

This movie was so bad and its so funny and sad at the same time to see the Zack Snyder fans defend this below average film.
