Summary
Zach Snyder's new film is based on the first film in the series. The sequel begins pretty much back where we started, only now with way more cast members. This article contains spoilers for Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver. If you're not caught up yet, you can check out our review here. After all the hubbub of Rebel Moon: Part One, our merry group of warriors return to Veldt. Three cheers for our returning heroes, but the dread Commander Noble is bearing down fast. Long story short, Kora and her crew still have plenty to worry about, and we’ve got about two hours of exposition and explosions to sift through. If you missed the first chapter, Issa is the daughter of an intergalactic King and Queen who were ambushed and murdered by the traitorous Balisarius. Meanwhile, Kora and country bumpkin Gunnar have opted to have an epic love story in their downtime. Noble gives Kora the chance to surrender herself to save the people of Veldt. Despite what she knows about these guys and their penchant for cruelty and betrayal, she actually tries to take this deal. All heck breaks loose, and our pals square off against an army. The film ends with Kora remembering that Balisarius still exists and promising to take the fight to him in the next movie. The film was #1 on Netflix during the week of its release. For a flick that is basically just six or seven classic movies edited together with some admittedly amazing VFX on top, that ain’t bad. Snyder has hinted that there could be a third film in the Rebel Moon series. He said that it would be an edgier, R-rated version of the first film. The film is expected to be released on Netflix in late summer. It has not yet been greenlit.
