The guilty pleasure that is Rebel moon 2
Wow... Never had I ever seen a movie that was so "pretty" in terms of scifi /space ship stuff...... and at the same time so incredibly stupid and poorly written. OMG the writers...
Quite the paradox there... Take a look anyway On netflix because the baddie ship stuff is gorgeous (reminds me of Captain Harlock if some remember), the "light sabers" fights look better than star wars and make Count Duku look like an incompetent swordman, the action is *very* well filmed with slo mo when needed... You will need to completely ignore 30 minutes of wheat harvesting (WTF?) and more painfully, each "hero" summarizing his individual story and reason to be here.. I mean who write this crap ? but again, so pretty !!!
Quick summary of Movie #1:
Feel free to skip it entirely, honestly, it's not as pretty and twice as dumb, if possible... A space empire powerful enough to make star destroyer class ships (but more steam punk, again very pretty) apparently cannot grow wheat. Also apparently one village on an entire bleeping planet makes wheat !!! Heroes refuse to handover wheat to the hungry nazis. Main hero goes on a quest to gather helpers, who somehow all accept to join for absolutely no reason whatsoever, so they add a Jedi lady, Conan the barbarian and some other folks... The end.
Movie #2: The baddie returns with his Nazi filled pretty ship. The Amish villagers somehow defeat them all despite the fact they could have been bombed from orbit and ended the movie right there. Total dumbf%ckery but.... every minute not spent with atrocious story telling (or harvesting wheat) is an incredibly pretty battle scene and nicely designed robots, ships, weaponry, I mean it's just pretty... It's netflix, use the FFWD. Oh and that ship shoulda caused a nuclear winter crashing down...
Yikes - I should rewrite movie scripts.
