Yeah it seemed odd that they expect us to get behind the idea that a galaxy spanning empire wants to feed its army w/the product produced from a single small village that farms exclusively through muscle w/out any advanced farming tech. How much food can they possibly make? If an army in that setting needs food they gonna need way more than that, and they are the official army so they probably have money to simply buy. The village is just way too insignificant to have the importance accorded to it that it apparently has. A galaxy spanning empire wouldn't send armies out without provisions or an established means to get needed provisions. Such an army would still need to resupply, but there'd be some sort of system in place to provide for this supply. If they just raid their own lands for food, if that's their system, this could result in oppression of farmers, sure, but it would be a trickle down effect, the army would just show up at a depot that sells food in the bulk quantities it needs and in the great variety it needs, and processed already, and buy or requisition it by legal right at which point the depot owners would pass the expense on down the line, and that's where the oppression would come from. They wouldn't go farm to farm manually collecting the unprocessed food product themselves. And this village makes grains or whatever, so they'd go through a lot of effort, harming their own empire in the process, harming future ongoing supplies, and they'd get a bunch of unprocessed grains as a result. And why does this moon with good soil have only one village making food on it. I didn't hate the movie. Had fun watching hte action scenes. Was worth the watch for free as a surprise offering through netflix. But stuff like the above was like a splinter in my mind as I watched. With more splinters to come as I progressed.

One day in 1977, I went to the theater to watch a movie, didn't know which I'd choose. Saw the publicity pics in the lobby for one, some sci fi thing with a guy standing near what I thought was an unusual monorail car. Thought "Why not?" Watched the film, walked back outside to see a line stretching into the parking lot. Got back in the queue and didn't even mind the wait. That is my introduction to the "Star Wars" story. Spent each night the next week watching that flick, then tapered off to once or twice a week. As cheesy as that reel of celluloid is, no other film has had that kind of effect on me.

I'm normally pretty easy going with sci fi as i find the worldbuilding as interesting as the actual plot but it was just all over the place. I still don't understand the world. You have a warhammer style empire, but we learned next to nothing about it. There's a viking farming village for some reason which has orgies in the hopes that it convinces the gods to make their plants grow, since they've decided the only modern technology they're going to use are automatic doors, and that's an overnight hike from a western style town with a space port and a load of aliens which where never explained or expanded on so fuck knows if they're part of the empire, have civilisations outside the empire or fought the empire, and there's an Irish guy. There was a cyber punk city where Asian people use swords for honor because we've not moved on from that cliche, and spider women who apparently used to own the planet and so kidnap children, no need to expand on that. A roman colleseum, don't know what the fuck that was about, but i expected to see Russell Crowe wandering around in the background and then at some point conan the barbarian went to an American ranch at hogwarts to train a hippogriff using a slow motion spell or something, I think I zoned out at that part.

I found the opening pretty good, basically right up until the antagonist guy landed to talk to the farmers and that was when it all started going off the rails for me. The idea of this huge space-faring empire still needing to exploit basic resources like grain to survive, sounded interesting. It suggested that even food is somewhat scarce in the far reaches of the galaxy, even if this particular village isn't starving. But. There's a GIANT FUCKIN SPACEPORT CITY a few miles away from the village? The empire guys wouldn't just go there and raid that city for food immediately, why exactly? Why was it preferable for them to waste time hassling a little village of like a hundred medieval peasants for food? (and who don't even HAVE the food yet, they are literal months away from producing said food)

The soldiers main gun looks identical to a bolter except scaled down.

The biggest issue in this action movie is the bad action. Every character has plot armour until they don't. Guns are drawn but no one can aim, until they need to, and the heroes who are held at gunpoint constantly manage to draw their weapons and start shooting before those who are threatening to kill them manage to get a shot off. And back to the aim, the heroes rarely move from their original position right away and just stand there shooting a few times before finally taking cover. It's very bizarre and makes no sense.

Another Female Character without any flaws or struggle story what they presented as her backstory was essentially parents die but you are great at everything from birth. Even at the presented height of her ability she had no weakness, no need to rely on her group members. No over confidence or self doubt. Just "Badass bitch, ima slay" was the only narrative. Missing one all important aspect of good character writing, flaws. For example, Guardians of the Galaxy and say Quill, was that he was very broken as a character but the group each with their own unique ability made up for the deficiencies he had, it made him an endearing and relatable. But there is zero attempt at this, in this film. Much like every film produced in the last 5 years. The physical strength she possessed in melee was absurd given her frame is tiny and I was left questioning how somebody with no implants or obvious upper body weight can put tall physically built male soldiers onto the ground. I really tried to identify with her and I love female protagonists in other films where they understand there are different strengths to brute force and they work around that with technique, dexterity and agility. But this was just ridiculous, the whole performance screamed "bulls**t". If we have to go down the world where all protagonists *have* to now be female, or diverse. Can you for the love of god, atleast write a decent character story arc. One where they have flaws and are not just born omnipotent.

The main take away I get from so many recent Hollywood products is that the future they paint is bleak. Even when the characters they present as the 'good -guys- they/thems' prevail, the simulacrum of a world they've created is at best dull and gray, and populated with automatons in skin-suits who can't even manage to interact as actual human beings.

As far as modern Hollywood is concerned, the future is just like now, except with more gizmos. Their 'future realism' is that there are enlightened characters who share their political views on race and gender, who are the protagonists, and everyone else, who are either misguided and just need the protagonists to enlighten them, or choose to be 'wrong', and are the antagonists. Star Trek Discovery and Picard are perfect examples of this, and compared to old Trek, might as well be set in completely different universes in terms of their settings.

As an extension - is the empire even evil? They conquered a few planets like ok. The Admiral kills two men who lie to him and nukes a planet which gave ressources/shelter to a terrorist organization - lying to authorities and aiding and abetting is crime here too.

I just watched this movie with my brothers and was constantly asking 'why' during the entire thing. This is the mindset of this village a few days' ride away form a neutral spaceport: "Evil guys came by to ask for our supplies which we don't have enough of because we sold them to the rebels, we don't line up our lies (despite being in the same room when the first lie was said) and things go tits up so our leader is executed. They say they'll return to rob and kill us in a few months and leave a band of evil mooks who wanted to assault little girls behind but our resident STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER girlbossed these bad guys into a grave. Should we leave? Nah, it'll be fine. If we work hard we can give them our stuff they will like us enough to not just not murder us after we fulfilled our purpose of letting them resupply, they will also probably leave us enough to survive the winter!" And then the protagonist, instead of leaving to let these morons win a Darwin award like she planned, decides to go recruit the rebel army and a general to save them with, even though they end up not being needed because the final battle takes place somewhere unrelated. Also, why was this little village on a planet on the ass-end of no-where populated with people that spoke in a mix of heavy accents that were, as far as I could tell, from Scandinavian countries, several parts of Great Britain and one obviously Dutch guy?

Slow motion should be a last resort used sparingly like minimal slowdown for brief periods and to enhance the overall composition. Where it does work: as the culmination of a series of increasingly fast cuts in a boxing match, one slow motion shot of the punch knocking someone senseless, not very slow, only to make something highly significant just long enough to see that would otherwise last a fraction of a second. Where it doesn't work: just cutting to an extreme slow mo shot of someone walking so they go from walking slowly to barely moving at all and it just hold on it showing off all the rich detail but, what is important? What is happening here that I need to focus on. It just seems like it's showing off what a high speed camera they have.

The depth to which Zack Snyder plumbs the possibilities of lazy and incompetent cinematography is absolutely incredible.

Yea, that bugged me the whole time. That massive warship, and countless "dollars" in labor, just to harass a few local moisture farmers ... i mean grain farmers ... for a pittance? Really? But Star Wars has been doing that since 1977. Zero new stuff to this movie, but I still enjoyed it. Reminded me of the other SciFi movie people hated called Juipter Ascending.

My eyes rolled back in my head and almost got stuck there. By the time Sword woman was fighting Spider Lady, we were just... why are they there? Did we doze off and miss a plot point? We might have.

I suspect that movies today are being designed, not written. The director comes up with a list of fantastical shots he wants to bring to the screen and then tries to connect them all into a story. The result is dispassionate and disconnected, with no regard to the actual characters which are just vehicles to get us to the next cool shot. AI won't have to struggle hard to replace writers if this is the new trend in Hollywood.

I thought it was a bit dull and there were barely any character interactions outside of Kora and the Seed-Counter (I don't remember his name or anyone else's). Whilst there were a lot of interesting ideas tossed at the wall, we barely had time to process anything before it switched to the next time. It's quite a whiplash effect to have the characters travel to different places, barely explore said places, say a few lines, kill a few threats and then scurry off to find the next one-dimensional teammate. Nemesis was cool but her entire character, much like everyone else's, didn't have much depth at all. In fact, the entire run, I was making pot-shots at certain scenes for being too similar to other movies. The Bird-Flying Scene? How to Train Your Dragon. The Port and Tavern? Star Wars The Underground City? Arcane Hell, the androids looked like Zenyatta's people, the soldiers looked like they'd been shipped from Terra Venture and the main admiral villain looks like a North Korean General. It's... weird.

Seven Samurai worked because the heart of that movie is the character development--but that all happens in the *preparation of the defense* not in the gathering of the players. There's a reason why Kurosawa only spends ... what, 30m? ... on the setup; all that's needed is to give us the basic character sketch. The bulk of the movie is watching our players work with each other and the villagers, and seeing how they *grow and change* over that experience. The fight at the end isn't really the *climax,* it's the *denouement* where we see how our players have changed in relation to themselves, each other, and the villagers. Snyder stretches the gathering of the players, but then *fails to use that time* to do any of this work--so when Generic Rebel bites it, the *only* person who cares is Discount Furiosa--and the *only reason we know this* is because *she straight-up tells us in her first line.* Also, the reason the *plot* of Seven Samurai even works is because the antagonist *is a bandit* and bandits don't have a *bench.* You beat them once and they're gone. Here, *it's an interplanetary empire.* How, exactly, is this supposed to play out? "My liege, they have destroyed our squadron." "Fine, send the fleet." Yes yes, spark that lights the fire and all that, but *we aren't shown that these conditions even exist.* Generic Rebel's sister actually tells us they *don't* exist, because they don't have sufficient force to take on the *squadron* much less the *fleet.* So ... yeah, that pretty much made me laugh out loud.

Mainly, it was too serious all the time, they didn't do well establishing the characters (maybe because there were too many), and by far the biggest issue was the leading lady could not carry the role with the gravitas a few scenes needed. her lines were delivered without a trace of character. It was still somewhat entertaining though.

What ultimately kills it for me is that the characters failed to earn my investment.

I think the main character annoyed me the most partly because I LOVE roleplaying and writing those edgy ass characters with sad/violent backstories. The whole fun of them is the mystery, and strained interactions with others gradually giving way to real bonds and softer moments as they learn to open up. Cora (kora? idk how it's meant to be spelled) just kind of... dumps her horrific past on Farmer Boy for no reason??? "i need you to know who i am" is what she says, but WHY? the mission would not be changed. his motivation has nothing to do with her, and whilst it's useful for the AUDIENCE to know in order to understand her own motivation. if you need such a lazy exposition scene to get across important information about your main character to the viewer, then maybe it's time to rewrite a few things
