Rebel Moon has been getting a lot of positive hype lately. Supposedly one of the best movies of the year, at least the #1 Netflix movie right now. I watched it last night and generally liked it....however it's a bit of a Star Wars rip off, in particular the Mandalorian series. It feels exactly like The Mandalorian the way it's written and produced. It's actually bit of a mash-up of Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Last Kingdom, 300, and maybe even a bit of Avatar. I assume their plan is to make this a series the way it ended. Also, there are a lot of images in the official trailer below that are not in the movie. I assume those will be in future releases.
No spoilers here, but if you are jonesing for a Mandalorian-style sci-fi movie, it's worth watching. It's a typical story of an oppressed people fighting some massive evil Imperial force....the reluctant hero goes on an intergalactic quest to assemble an unlikely rag-tag team of warriors to fight the system. I'm a sucker for a good sci-fi. I'd say this was just adequate. Nothing remarkable, but good enough to keep my attention.
