Netflix’s latest release titled Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire has received mixed reviews. Considering Zack Snyder’s cultural influences and his ability to create countless discourses about his films, it is no surprise that Rebel Moon has had this effect on audiences and critics. It can be best described as an engaging new space opera film, packed with visually arresting action and drama. The film’s flair and kitsch have been well received by viewers who’ve slotted it as one that may not win you over if you’ve not been a fan of Snyder’s characteristic style. Most criticism surrounding the film centers around the fact that the film feels like a reductive jumble of compelling visuals and genre-specific clichés, with little time and effort invested in character development. In any case, the film does lack coherence with a greater emphasis placed on style rather than content, which leaves significant narrative gaps. Read more
