This week we review and discuss Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire, a space opera movie directed by Zack Snyder and starring Sofia Boutella, Ed Skrein and Anthony Hopkins, about a fictional galaxy ruled by the imperialistic Motherworld, whose military, the Imperium, threatens a village on the moon Veldt. Kora, a former Imperium soldier, ventures on a quest to recruit warriors from across the galaxy to make a stand against the Imperium before they return to Veldt.
We discuss what thought about the movie's attempt to kickstart a new space opera franchise, make countless Star Wars comparisons, dissect the character arcs and ask if there is a compelling story here, what it would have taken for Rebel Moon to live up to its promise of being a Star Wars killer, and much more.
