Quite enjoyed rebel moon. I can see how a directors cut would help the pacing but still seemed a well done film to me as entertainment. I’ll look forward to part two and the directors cuts, the cast also worked well.

Basically seven samurai yet again but no worse for it.

I can see how people relate it to 40k but, starwars less so, it feels more grounded, there’s not really magical space wizards and more so technology with a hint of magic, but in its title sense of technology we don’t understand.

If anything for me it’s more firefly meets dune, with magnificent seven thrown in for good measure. But overall I’d say more dune inspired that 40k or starwars. I can see the imperial guard vibes from the battle scenes but I think the armour style of starship troopers but with nice fancy engraving is doing the heavy lifting there.

Side note the battle flag waving is just a Prussian Regimental flag, something sci-fi (and 40k) like stealing.

Overall 8/10 want to see more
