It was so bad.
It wasn’t the worst movie I have ever seen, but I was constantly distracted by how derivative everything about it was. I was laughing at parts that were meant to be serious because it was just so ridiculous.
What I said when the movie ended was: “it’s not exactly bad”.
Instead, it’s something else. It’s not good either. But the one thing I know for sure is that it has enough time to add another half-a-dozen cliché short-stories that don’t add anything to the main line. It could have pulled 2 or 3 good one from Matrix.
You make it sound the movie was created entirely, from start to finish, with some form of AI.
Now that you mentioned it. Yes, it does really sound like that.
Eh I like campy scifi space opera movies and it delivered. We don’t get that many.
It was way too superhero for me, but I didn’t realize it was a Snyder movie until I looked it up.
Ha, where is this image from?
A sketch called ‘These Guys Don’t Know Star Wars’ (available on YouTube). Much like Rebel Moon, it’s surprisingly long.
Ahaha, thanks!
It was actually good imo.
Also can’t wait for the Red Rising TV show to come out.
I typed out a huge rant in response to this, absolutely hating that series for reasons I can’t get started on without spiraling into an unhinged rant again, and decided that was way too negative a response for some casual excitement about an upcoming series.
All I’ll say instead is I hope the show is better about staying on theme than the novels were.
And, hey, best case scenario?
We finally get a good Definitely-Not-Space-Marines show.
In all fairness I just started the 3rd book and I’m unsure of where they’re going with it right now… but the first two were great reads. The whole class color system is a bit weird at times I have to admit but it’s still great entertainment. I’d also be interested to read your opinion more than a rant about it if you feel like it.
The problem in that case is I absolutely can’t talk about the problems with it without spoiling the ending and quite a lot of the drama from the third book, but I will say I enjoyed the series quite a lot, teen drama and all, until #3.
I’ll also say if you loved the combat in the second book you’ll love some 40k Space Marine novels because it was basically just a typical Astartes drop pod assault, including the MC melting a guy’s face with definitely-not-a-Betcher-Gland.
Gotcha. I’ll keep on reading. And yes I did enjoy that battle I’ll the the 40k novels.
