Sofia Boutella as Kora holding two guns in Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver.
The Big Picture If a thousand years from now, the sun has not exploded and people are still discussing movies that were released a millennium prior, one can only wonder what they will say about the strange sci-fi franchise that was Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon. Beginning with Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire last year and now continuing with Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver, it has already become the most baffling duo of movies ever made.
Whatever already fleeting intrigue Part One managed to tap into by showing us brief glimpses of other planets and histories gets stripped away here. The viewer mostly ends up watching a lot of flashbacks, including one ridiculous conversation scene where everyone around a table gets their turn in a game of exposition roulette. It’s like this film is doing everything the last one did on overdrive, confining any insights we may get about the characters to one clunky monologue after another.
The main problem the film just keeps coming back to is that the action isn’t up to snuff. Considering this is what nearly the entire last hour is focused on, it presents a serious problem. All the flat characters could be put to the side if something was thrilling about the experience in the last act. There are brief flashes of more engaging action choreography and staging, though The Scargiver stumbles just as often.
