He has done it again! Should Zack just stop? I hope everyone is doing well and remember if you liked this video give it a Like and Subscribe to the channel. And sharing the video is always a great help. Cheers Legends!
Thing is, Seven Samurais _in space_ has already been done too. Battle Beyond the Stars was one I saw on TV as a kid when it first came out many decades ago. It's campy as hell. It has a spaceship with boobs! And it's still better than this tripe.
Maybe he should move on to doing short films instead or get a writer to help him out. But I couldn’t care less if he decides to stop due to massively failing and losing all his money trying to make movies. I don’t have to watch his future films either if he keeps making them just so none of my money is spent on garbage.
We don't even cut wheat by hand now so in a sci fi future with robots, floating platforms and space travel they can't find an easier way to collect wheat
@@maelstrom2313 yeah but they still had floating platforms so even if they made them then taken away wouldn't there be someone who created something better before being taken away
what really annoyed me about that royal murder scene is that she kills all the armed guards and then just leaves. Instead of you know, killing the actual murderers with that high powered energy weapon she has. they only have knives Imagine all the lives that would have been saved and all the trouble she would have avoided if she had cut the head of the snake right there
What's even worse about the farming scene is that in part 1, Noble offered to pay for the grain 3x its worth and give them farming equipment that would help the farmers till the fields and harvest their grain faster. But the village elder said that they preferred to work with their hands 'cause they were closer to the earth, or something. But hover beds are allowed to bring the wheat in from the fields I guess.
Also when faced with extinction for not bringing in enough grain, surely you can use better tech just this once, right? He just doomed his people because he wouldn't accept help for just 1 harvest. Like you can go back to your old ways after you prevented your deaths!
Star Wars visual design language: familiar and used, but futuristic. Rebel Moon: Literally any period costume/prop/set that was lying around the art department.
Battle Beyond the Stars told the EXACT same story better, AND actually had several good reasons that our heroes could win against the space nazis, in that the recruited warriors had a combination of technologies and tools that would give the town a fighting chance. (hand weapons, very fast trench building technology, each hero had their own unique fighting spaceship and unique scifi racial abilities)
@@franohmsford7548 BBtS did this exact story and plot SO MUCH BETTER, I can only conclude that Zack Snyder has never seen BBtS, because if he had, he could have just stolen like all the elements from that much better B movie. Why not have the recruited heroes have enough small arms to equip the town ? Why not have the recruited heroes have tech that can just build defensive trenches quickly ? and of course, why not have spaceship VS spaceship, in your space opera ? This worked so much better in BBtS, because each hero had their own cool 'x-wing fighter' style spaceship, and they were all different sizes and had different weapon systems, so even if the space nazis had more ships, the hero ships were clearly better, and had a kind of 'diversity is our strength' thing going, where they could deux ex machina some cool shit to turn the tide, where here there is literally no way they should ever win, or even have a chance for a fair fight, since there is no reason for the bad guys to even land their forces near the town, since they don't even need the grain at all !
@@sprinkle61 Oh...I think he's seen it. He's the exact age and demographic to have seen it at the drive-in when it came out. Just like me. But richer. And more of a c@nt.
There was also a sci-fi interpretation of the story made in 2004 as a single season limited series anime called "Samurai 7." Also much better than Rebel Moon. Snyder capitalized on the idea of "What if it was Seven Samurai, but with too much slow motion and it was bad?" Jeez, I mean even Pocahontas/Dances with Wolves in Space "Avatar" was better than Rebel Moon.
One of the most hilarious things for me with the farming scenes was no matter what generous explanations we might be able to conjure up to explain why tech is missing or not used in various ways there is absolutely no way of excusing the levitating cart still being pulled by a fucking horse.
This movie gave me an appreciation for Disney Star Wars. At least I like the character design. The space ships and battles sorta feel like Star Wars and look pretty good. Here the color palette and weird flat light just look awful. The slow motion is unbearable. Is it to pad the run time? There is so much the movie would be a third shorter without it. I made it maybe 10min. My mother turned it on when I was at her house. Luckily I was just about to leave anyway. Shit I just realized it was the first one. I guess it doesn’t make much difference.
I'm so glad that I don't have to watch garbage and be unhappy but instead watch hilarious reviews of said garbage, and laugh! Thanks RH! I got a lot of crap for liking "Sucker Punch," but these 2 abortions make "Sucker Punch" practically Oscar worthy!!! Thanks again!! 😀
When I was 12, my friends and I wanted to film a Star Wars parody. Initially, we considered starting with the same opening as in 'A New Hope,' but then cutting to shots of coal workers from the Titanic after showing a huge Star Destroyer. At the time, we thought about how stupid that would be...
I heard the scene about the banners and was struck by a "what could have been". What if each person in the village is given a personalized banner. Perhaps they receive one when they are old enough to begin helping with the harvest. It's a sign of adulthood. We could see all the villagers display their own banners in their houses, even our main girl. Banners are kept by a villager until they die, when it is burned with their body. This could have been a moment of the villagers accepting the warriors not as hired guards, but as members of the village. But instead, it's just nothing.
At least Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen movies are so bad that it's funny, Snyder after Watchmen has made movies so bad that isn't not even funny, and the Rebel Moon garbo may just be the worst movies ever made.
Battlefield Earth was also a garbage movie that at least entertained us at a comical level…if you are talking about John Travolta playing evil space lord Jonathan Davis of Korn.
The first one was legitimately one of the worst films I've ever seen. And his responses to criticism are mental. I think his best film is 300, and he has a great eye for cinematography. But he's a one-trick, and clearly can't write.
No joke! Dawn of the Dead was written by James Gunn (lol), 300 and Watchmen are like near word for word/page for page adaptations of their respective graphic novels (Frank Miller and Alan Moore), even Man of Steel was written by Goyer and Nolan. The more creative control Snyder has the worse his movies have gotten.
Take your shots against ole Joss Whedon, but when he had very little capital to convey a big sci fi battle, there was only screaming in the background. His character: "we are just too damn pretty for God to let us die" (paraphrased). Firefly and other older TV shows were masterpieces because they made so much out of so little.
"I imagine it's going to be really hard for a handful of Space Amish farmers who've barely had any time to train and prepare their defenses to fend off an entire army of Space Socialists with superior numbers and weaponry..." "Actually it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
Nah, it'll be fine. The interstellar, space national socialists are running their ships on coal. The eventual heat death of the universe will happen first.
Yep, "space nazi" isn't what I thought when seeing those uniforms. Looked more like Space Soviets with their cold war era Soviet style uniforms. Although, if that was the case then the farmers would be shot and the rest sent to die in working in a gulag while the farm was collectivized (i.e. taken by the govt). Yeah, checks out.
I laughed my ass off the whole time at how bad it was. How completely serious it took itself. Imagining how anyone involved with making the movie could look at the finished product with pride. Hilarious!
It surprises me so many people think that Kora is called the Scargiver because of the scar Noble got in part two, but she was already known as the Scargiver in part one. It's of course never explained where the name came from, but it's not a new nickname.
@@paulgibbon5991 Why would that make her a bad soldier? You think a soldier is only successful if he/she kills every opponent he/she encounters? Maybe the scars she gave to her opponents were the scars of missing limbs. Or they are metaphorical scars, because she ends more relationships than Taylor Swift.
@@paulgibbon5991 In reality it is more useful tactically to wound enemy combatants and have the other side need to evacuate and hospitalize them rather than killing them. Better yet, if they are maimed and can never return to battle again. That's a huge drain on enemy resources. Having to support a cripple that's unfit for duty.
This is what I've been saying. An imperial general who refuses orders to destroy a disobedient planet because he's come to care for the locals and eventually rebels with his men both is a bit more original than the 200th seven samurai remake and also armed soldiers with their own ships and munitions makes a lot more sense than training farmers to fight a world destroying army.
@BizznessBox Bro Snyder is damn washed out its disgusting. He did the terrible "sit around the campfire and everyone give direct exposition about their background" shtick back in suicide squad and he got universally DOGGED for that movie. He has ZERO self awareness. Truly failing upward
Someone really should tell Zack he sucks as a film maker. But given he's like every other narcissistic person in the film industry, he never looks at social media or even any reviews from critics apparently. So I assume, much like Darth Kennedy LucasNerf, he is surrounded by yes people who prop up his ridiculous ego so he'll always expect positive reactions to his hot garbage; and would most likely reject any critism as hate, like they all do these days.
@@alienalchemist According to Snyder, the big head thing that Korra put the explosives on, is a ''space god'' that the Empire enslaved and is powering the ship. ......and they feed it with coal. How does this shit even work?! I have no idea.... I'm not making this up btw. that's on the off. FanWiki site. ( Yes, there's a Rebel Moon FanWiki!)
You actually bring up a very good point during that royal family assassination scene. If all the dignitaries just turned to her in silence and glared menacingly, it slowly would have become apparent she was the fall guy. But zack snyder cant help himself, so he has to write it in a way that is cartoonishly stupid where they suddenly are all screaming at the top of their lungs how she's a murderer. It's such a simple easy fix, but everything has to be over the top daytime soap opera levels of "drama". Zack snyder has no filter, he clearly has nobody on the writing/production crew that has the balls to speak up and say "no zack... that's stupid. Do this instead."
In school we had to write a creative writing 3 page story. A friend wrote 27 pages and said the whole thing was basically one big space battle…..with loads of explosions. Needless to say he was very surprised when he got a C. He learnt at 13 what Zach Snyder hasn’t in his entire career. Ironically I prefer his story to the story that got top marks….which was a drama piece about a guy killing his abusive mum. Not one explosion (not even a little one)
I just don't understand how these people continue to fleece the corporations into giving them millions of dollars to produce absolute tripe. Where is the accountability? Where is the due diligence? There isn't any!
I won't lie, that scene more than almost any other really lends credence to the theory that this movie was written by AI that had other popular movies' scripts fed to it. "And now scene where heroic sad character with no emotions to display but who has secretly bonded with random npc child, dies saving said npc child from evil Nazis. Child is very sad. Scene is very poignant and meaningful because 7,249 movie scripts user has fed this prompt generator have said so.
@thehoerscorral8565 lmao yeah, it needed more a fleshed out meaning. Why didn't they just make them the same race and her be like his Aunt that left town or something? Random kid all of a sudden sad made little to no sense.
Not just style over substance, but basically no substance at all, and the styles are just a random mishmash of better things, a little Tarzan, a little Pride and Prejudice, a little a bugs life, a little Battle Beyond the Stars, a little nazis, a little Little house on the Prairie, even a little of the home scene from 300
There's no style. It's a crap attempt at recyling tacky imagery from 1970s and early 1980s "Adult" comics like Metal Hurlant and Epic Unlimited. Badly. Very badly.
Except that makes no sense; what, he went 13 parsecs in 12 parsecs? How is there a shorter route in space? But, it sounded cool, and it was plot-relevant, so it's no big deal.
@@billjacobs521 Well you're not wrong. But think of it in terms of a navigator bragging about his skills. And for Han's boasting to have any weight you have to assume that the Kessel Run poses several navigational challenges ie. it isn't just a straight shot. It's a great bit of dialogue because in a single line it really helps establish Han's character in the viewer's mind. Unfortunately the audience had no understanding of the Kessel Run so most people when they heard it for the first time assumed that the writer didn't know what a parsec is, because they assume Han is boasting about how fast he can go. So maybe the line, memorable as it is, is not quite so great after all. As we eventually learn -- though not in the the movie -- the Kessel Run is normally a 20 parsec hyperspace route. Hyperspace travel requires a navigator to plot the route. If Han did what he claimed then he would indeed be a good navigator.
I really wish some of these movie productions would stop doing the cliche of having gigantic moons and/or gas giants in close proximity to the planet they're on. Somebody needs to teach them about the Roche Limit.
@@Chilicharger665 Essentially, if something orbits too close to another body (as defined by their masses), it gets torn apart by gravity varying too much across its surface. That's probably how Saturn got its rings, and it'll also happen to Phobos and Triton (the moons of Mars and Neptune) in several million years.
@@Chilicharger665 Basically, a moon or large celestial body can't be that close to a planet, once it's within the planet's Roche Limit the gravitational tidal forces will break the moon up or pull it into the planet. Yes, I can see that a giant planet or series of moons looks cool floating in the sky in a sci-fi movie, but that's not how science works.
My biggest question is the lady with the lightsabers cut off bother her arms before putting on the robo hands. Cuz we clearly see her cut off her left arm, then it cuts to her putting on the left robo at with her right (now) robo arm. How does that work exactly?!
So you're telling me that out of a whole planet that is potentially fertile for growing wheat, the evil empire concentrates on only one village, that somehow appears to be only producing place in the entire moon.
I forgot how terrible the androgynous one looked when they were doing the flag things 😂 cheers for that. I still can’t get over coal powered hyperdrive spaceships 😂😂
Everytime one of these dumpster fires is released I ask myself if anyone at Netflix read the script first? And did anyone at Netflix say "Coal powered spaceships is dumb as hell! And a galactic empire is desperate for grain from one small village?"
I had to resist laughing at my friend's comment that the dinner scene and the banner stuff they made for the heroes, was on par with Guardians of the Galaxy where they let loose their dirty laundry before the final act.
You guys are all talking now about how terrible Zack's matter is for having his character sit around in a circle and give backstory but none of you crapped on the terrible Batman versus Superman scene where they did basically the same thing with a dumb scene with a thumb drive with all the superheroes logos on it. I mean there's so much of his crappy mindset all over his movies and the only good movies that he has were written by smarter people like James Gunn and Frank Miller
Mara looks very jupiter like, and from other shots it looks like Veldt is quite close to the planet. Jupiter's inner major moon Io takes 1.8 days to orbit... Europa takes 3.6. Even if the gas giant was less dense, it was farther out than it seemed, etc... there's no way the orbit is over 6 days. So half a cycle has gotta be less than 3 days ;p Also, an object that close to a gas giant will become tidally locked, where a day and an orbit last the same time... so really it should be "We can't do it in 3 days, it usually takes us half a day!"
The problem is that it was too goofy! Whilst not going all the way into Spoof territory. If Will and Kevin had calmed down a bit Wild Wild West could have been decent fun.
I think "Half a cycle 'round 'morrow" means they'll be halfway through the harvesting cycle by tomorrow. Meaning that by the time the cycle is halfway done, which seems to be that many weeks have passed since the harvest began, they'll have just two days left to finish the harvest. And once you take that into consideration, THAT'S EVEN WORSE! Two days to finish a harvest that's only halfway done! That's not how farming works!
Is it just the one village that has grain fields? Could the Empire not occupy a different part of the planet and harvest wheat there? How would one village even be able to feed their entire crew, let alone Empire? Nothing makes sense.
I re-watched the first one twice, because I thought I missed something and was about to set up an appointment to get assessed for adult ADHD. From what I've seen of the second, I am pretty sure that's what having a stroke feels like.
I keep thinking about this movie. Not because it was good, but because I felt like this film wasted my time, pissed off the part of me that loves storytelling and movie making. I can't stop thinking about it, every time I think about that one scene with the orchestra, I feel.....depressed. Every scene has something wrong happening in it. This film was a fever dream that I can't forget about. Thanks Zach, you made a film that's so bad I can't stop thinking about how bad it is.
Lmao even WHEN everything goes to shit & not according to plan, the orchestra still plays the background music matching the action😭😭 Also, you should’ve added the big baddie saying “do it💅 kill her DO it”! His voice (I didn’t watch the movie just a clip) made me crack up it was so high😂
i do like the "space-vehicle-belches-black-smoke" trope but i remember seeing that somewhere else first..but for the life of me i can't remember where..
I remember starting to watch Army of the Dead. I turned it off after seeing what caused the zombie to be released. I did the same for Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.
It's not 'in space' but Samurai 7 is set in a feudal-technological world where swordsmanship is still on par with giant mechs. It also helps when one samurai is a tanky cyborg man.
Not Seven Samurai, not even Magnificent Seven, and really not Battle Beyond the Stars. Roger Corman's movie, (Battle Beyond the Stars) had its hired guns in space fight with modern weapons, and they had air support.
So they traverse galaxies on coal drive. And they want grain. Will they grind it? Do they have a baker? Maybe one of the funny hat guys will do pancakes?
@@Six_Gorillion lol a spaceship has to defend itself against any point in a sphere and you say analog feels better. You should ask to join the writers on Rebel Moon 3. With your Napoleonic mastery of artillery, you'd be an invaluablel consultant. You know, to keep things real. Unless you're just cranking one out and I missed the sarcasm
When the space age fully kicks in IRL, wheat will be one of the least wanted commodities. I get that it is a staple food but even now, we are looking for meteors that have vast amounts of resources, why does wheat matter?
Im thinking that what he means by six films is that there will be a third and then three directors cuts, which he has said will be almost like an alternate universe or version of the movies. Im guessing thats what he actually means by six movies released. A part three and then the three directors cuts. At least i hope so. This is truly the wordt new films in a long time.
Why is it that when some of these directors makes a horrible movie they always say they want to make a whole movie franchise off of it. It shows how much their heads are so far up their asses they would rather pretend they have a good artistic vision rather than listen to people say they suck.
When a person's delusion overwrites their confidence in world building, you'll end up getting a universe like Rebel Moon. A total disgrace to all the better talented world builders and lore masters who never got to share their ideas and creativity because Hollywood always had to greenlight this kind of unimaginative crap down our throats.
Bro you mentioned the hovering platform and thats hilarious all by itself but what makes it even more golden is the scene where the "Alien" horse is pulling the hovering platform!!!😂 This movie was a travesty.......
