REVIEW #350 Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver (2024)

A farming colony on the edge of the galaxy fights against a tyrannical force, relying on a small group of heroes to lead them.

The Scargiver unfortunately fails to make me a believer in the franchise, granted it did provide some more emotional context to the key characters which did reel you in slightly further but the plot remained pretty dull and uninteresting. Even the action, that I was looking forward to the most, failed to impress me and that’s usually somewhere where Snyder thrives. There are some cool designs with the movements effects of the lightsaber type swords, looking pretty cool but you can definitely tell it was inspired by Star Wars because the thousands of laser shots always managed to avoid the protagonists. These films are watchable sure, commercialised filler that can occupy you for a couple of hours but I wish I just waited for the director cuts because it’s clear they’re going to be the much better versions, even Snyder seems disinterested in these early editions. So save yourself some time and wait for the R rated ones, that’s my advice and that’s coming from a big Snyder fan myself.

Overall (5/10)

Thanks for reading,
