In a way. In the way that there was tons of talent and effort in the design and art and props (like is shown in this video)... But none of that effort seeped into the script and direction.
You’re judging the first cut they released I get it but let me refresh you with this fact and hopefully if there’s any part you even enjoyed for a sec in rebel moon then you’ll grasp this next point. Zack legit only got to film his full nearly 6 hours worth script of a Rated R sci-fi epic if he agreed to make a PG13 version not his story for Rebel Moon is so adult and bonkers that it’s basically Heavy Metal (feel free to search that up). To every dumb fool who kept crying that it’s a “rip off” of other things is nonsensical it’s inspired like legit EVERYTHING is… the cut showed a lot of familiarity because sure at Rebels core it’s taking the tropes you’ve known. Now the rated R cuts aren’t just “extended” having read the novelization of Part One which is basically the directors cuts in book form, they’re VASTLY different. I enjoyed the PG13 version (and soon part twos because it’s a straight war movie and will have the rebels backstories told as well). If you didn’t all good but if you like Zack Snyder’s work then the Rated R cuts later this summer are 3 hours EACH full with everything intended so maybe don’t fully judge his creation yet considering the versions we have for NOW are the Netflix casual friendly cuts 😅 soon Zack’s true vision will come out and I think you’ll be surprised at what the real potential of his work here is!
Very cool, looking forward to watching both director's cuts of part 1 and 2
This made me want to watch the movie
It’s worth the watch for the artistry. The story is not original or told in a very compelling or cohesive way, but the designs are fantastic.
Spectacular as always. Legends! All of you. Thanks for sharing and keep creating dreams
Awe inspiring work as always, Weta never disappoints
I just want to comment about this. I tried the Weta Cave tour and it was amazing.
Nice👏👏👏
Rebel Moon, never heard of it. Is this like Mortal Engines ?

Have a lot of respect for wetas work. Sadly the movie was absolutely terrible.

Agreed. Wondering if the Director's Cuts would be better. Most likely not, though.
One thing this movie got right were the designs. Much respect to Weta!!
