With an investment cost of more than 166 million USD, Rebel Moon is one of the most expensive blockbusters ever made but is not shown in theaters, only released on online platforms.

Famous stars from all continents such as Sofia Boutella, Doona Bae, Charlie Hunnam, Anthony Hopkins… are also factors that help the first part A Child of Fire quickly gain attention when shown on Netflix.

The work currently tops the rankings of the most popular TV shows in many countries, including Vietnam.

The film’s story is set in a fictional setting on a peaceful planet far from Earth.

Everything suddenly changed when Motherworld’s army arrived and threatened everyone’s lives.

At this time, Kora (Sofia Boutella) – a female soldier who escaped from Motherworld – decided to gather the most talented warriors in the universe to fight to regain peace.

Sitting in the director’s chair is none other than Zack Snyder – a filmmaker famous for superhero projects such as Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Justice League (2017)… According to ĂȘtre

Basically, Rebel Moon’s story is not too new.

With a familiar plot, the filmmaker invested a lot in building the fantasy universe.

The character system is as diverse as Star Wars with winged creatures, spider hybrid warriors or talking robots – reminiscent of the classic C-3PO robot image.

Zack Snyder gives his brainchild many highly aesthetic scenes.

With many years of experience, the director also succeeded in leading the action segment.

In addition to Zack Snyder’s name, the star cast is also a factor that helps Rebel Moon gain attention.

The remaining actors are at a good level.

With a star cast and big budget, Rebel Moon has a scale no less than a blockbuster theatrical release.

Unfortunately, Zack Snyder’s passionate work was severely criticized by critics when it was released with 25% of votes, rated `Rotten` on Rotten Tomatoes.

Although the visuals are impressive, the story still doesn’t really captivate the audience.

Despite the visuals and many eye-catching action scenes, Rebel Moon has not convinced viewers because the script has many limitations.

Most of the reviews are low because the film is deeply personal to the director.

The story still lacks a twist and climax, so it doesn’t leave many highlights.

Ignoring the limitations, Rebel Moon is still very entertaining, a choice not to be missed for those who love the action and science fiction genres.
