Agree completely. Lack of character development is the biggest flaw. I was literally asking myself why that guy needed to ride that griffin like beast.

I think the issue regarding Zack Snyder is that he is at his best when he is surrounded by the right people who can keep him in check and cover his weak spots. It's when he is given complete creative control when disaster strikes. Let's face it, Man if Steel would have been much worse if Nolan and Goyer weren't around to keep an eye on him.

I love how you give solutions to the films problems instead of just crapping on it. I liked the film but I understand the complaints and constructive criticism is always welcomed

I think you see the flashbacks because Kora becoming a soldier & the scene with the princess will be an important part of the story later… think it should’ve been a TV show though - too rushed

Rebel Moon just felt like a mashup of different sci-fi action movies. Definitely had some cut and paste elements. I lowkey thought it was a parody at one point.

I read a review that pointed out how it felt like they cut things out for the extended cut, and it felt like you could tell there were scenes missing. That made me not want to watch this version, and just wait for the "full" version instead.

Rebel Moon was a stunning visual movie, but felt like a first draft of a script to me. It felt like a creator who threw everything on screen with little to no feedback along the way.

There’s a moment in the movie where the laser guns can’t go through wood but like 10 minutes earlier it destroyed a metal gun like how stupid you’d do you have to be

100 percent agree!! I think it would have been better if Kora acknowledged that girl was the princess and she survived her assassination attempt. But they can't go that way because she was ready to run when the soldiers showed up. And the villagers was super forgiving of dude getting their elder and wife were killed 🤷🏾‍♂️

Rebel moon is incredibly easy to fix : Step 1) Make it a TV show instead of a movie to better explore the world and characters. I didn't really feel like I was a part of this world or that I understood how it works. The world of Rebel moon has potential but right now it just seems generic it's not as special or unique as Dune or star wars. No world building lore has been established Step 2) Use a much slower pacing to develop the characters and set up the group dynamics. I keep struggling to remember these characters names because there so forgettable. Yeah there interesting but not that memorial or relatable because the movie won't slow down to give them a moment of characterisation. They don't have any unique individual personalities and they have no group dynamic or chemistry.

I wanted more Hopkins-Bot.

Zack/Netflix’s only achievement here is to take the attention away from Disney for the worst “big” release of Q4 (The Marvels, Wish…)

If this movie was written like you say, it’d be a top movie of the year

Ive just finished rebel moon and have a funny relationship with it. I absolutely agree with most of your critiques down to a tee and i certainly WANTED to like it... i gave it a 6/6.5. Its solidly ambitious, has great effects and has ample action. Many of the right pieces but they dont come together amazingly well.

It would have been interesting if each new recruit had a skill that helped in recruiting the next person. Like how Thanos got all the infinity stones

I don’t think it was a disaster but the critiques were valid. I especially thought what are these 5 characters going to do against an army. Plus why would they fight for a small town they have never been to. Even if the win reinforcements will come and wipe the village away. Or even wipe out the entire planet since that’s been established to have happened. Maybe in part 2 all the characters bring their people to the fight. I think one guy was a prince so maybe his kingdom. The general might have follower’s idk.

Shots fired at She Hulk 😢 I loved that show

You only get one chance at a first impression. The only way to fix this is by starting again from scratch.

A New Hope doesn’t have any set up because it was originally meant to be a one off movie.

I think Sam is the Princess that Kora was in charge of protecting. Why else would the robot of saved her by firing on the soldier? I think the robot realized it when Sam touched him in the scene by the river.

To me kora felt very similar to Thorfinn from Vinland saga. Gets taken by the man who ruined her peaceful life. Raised in war and only knows how to destroy and kill. Ends up fleeing that life and finds peace once more in some farmland. Then trouble finds her again.

8:15 My only criticism of this opinion is that Charlie Hunnam’s character probably had an alternative motive for joining the crew, which was revealed later.

I love the storylines you created to fix the problems in the film. I agree that there are no character arcs or motivations. The last few minutes of the movie is when we learn everyone's backstory and why they are fighting against the Empire.

I want to see if they release the Director's Cut of this first movie before the second one. If it's way better received, then maybe they'll just let Zack put out his cut of Part 2, so we can avoid this nonsense.

So... many... slow... motions... There's even slow-mo inside another slow-mo... Can't wait for a fan edit that will speed up and the slow-mo to bring the movie at a brisk 100 minutes!

After watching the movie, thought about why it didn't stick and knew something was off. You speak for most of us, we wanted it to be more it could have been more we hope it will be more.

I agree with Gunnar being given the protagonist role. He is almost a non-presence in the Rebel Moon. But he could have fulfilled a very important role and balanced out the rest perfectly while growing as a character. - He could have been shown as an idealist at heart, and a generally kind and sympathetic man. He sold the leftover grain to the rebels, despite the risk, not only to feed his village but also because he sympathized with their cause. He wants to believe in a better future. He isn't a fighter, but he is human. Now, put him in the group of dangerous and skilled people who, despite their strength and abilities, lost themselves after clashing with the Motherworld. (now, below are my thoughts on how the rest of the cast COULD HAVE BEEN written, not how they were shown) - Kora, a renegade elite soldier. Make her struggle with being a good person, a different person. All she knows is how to kill. She is a weapon to be pointed at the enemy. She was good at it. She was proud of it. She still is - when she fights, a part of her comes alive. It feels right. This is what she was made for...right? She avoids conflict not because she secretly hates to kill again, but because she forces herself to go away from the old ways, keeps convincing herself that there are other options for her, that there is a reason the locals spared her and nursed her back to health after finding her in the wreckage. At the same time, she questioned herself: Are there truly any options? Or is she just a weapon gone berserk, turned against the empire that made her? - Nemesis, a grieving mother who cut out her weaknesses and replaced them with cybernetic components. She is calm, cold, and silent. She is obsessed with justice and vengeance - she no longer feels pain and tells herself nothing is holding her back on her path. She binds herself with her code of honor because deep inside, she is still hurting and furious, and she has to be sure she doesn't become what she hates on her quest for vengeance. She is the figurative Tin Man, who tries not to feel her heart but still needs it - to remind herself why she is doing all that. She believes she failed as a protector, so now she must destroy. - Tarak, a nobleman who lost his home and was stranded away in a world where the person's life and dignity are currency. He is so great at bonding with animals, because he believes them to be better and more worthy of his care and trust than so-called sentient beings. Animal minds and loyalties are simpler and more honest. He would willingly place himself in chains he can easily break to free a wild beast from her cage and help her eviscerate her captors, but he feels distant from the pains of humans and such -- they inflict pain upon each other all the time it seems they want it that way. He can no longer bring himself to care. - Titus, a former general. The man who orchestrated massacres, and purges, and genocides, believing it was all for the greater good. The man who had to face the truth and now drowns himself in blood and alcohol because of self-loathing. He hates the Motherwolrd as it was and he hates it as it now, and overall, he hates himself. He could be a dangerous weapon against the Motherwold -- if only he could tell himself, what will he fight for, now that everything he used to believe in turned out to be a bunch of pretty lies? Basically, placing Gunnar in such company would have added a much-needed human element and perspective. Gunnar has something to lose and something he viscerally wants to protect. Gunnar sees the shadows of what these dangerous people used to be - and he speaks to them. He empathizes with them, he understands their loss. He acknowledges Kora's struggle. He mourns for Nemesis' loss. He encourages Tarak to share stories he remembers about his place. He argues with Titus - angrily standing his ground and admonishing him for his bruised ego, making Titus slowly realize that while redemption isn't what he deserves, he can at least undo some of his mistakes. Meanwhile, the others see his desperation and willingness to face the dangers and even protect others (despite not being very skilled in fighting and literally risking his neck in every encounter), and it astounds them. Gunnar isn't afraid to die if it means saving his home and his people. He would throw himself into war with the Motherworld because what else did he have to lose? By being human in his interactions, his protectiveness, and his hopefulness, he reminds this group of unlikely companions about something they almost forgot. He may not be their official leader (at least initially), but he ends up being their motivator, giving them bits of his soul back and giving them a greater purpose.

some of the visuals are good. I kept thinking of more a seven samurai movie with elements of Star Wars in it. At one point I did end up not paying attention and ended up not really caring what was going on in the story. I'll still watch part two when its released but its not going to be a top priority.

I think the Neo, modern human is the problem. Spending the majority of our life more hyper sentient of our own mortality than ever before, has made everyone, all the time worried about not getting what they "need" before they die.... It makes them sad and hate on everything. The smarter we think we get, the more entitled we become, until we realize we'll never get everything before we are dead, and so we are constantly on an emotional roller coaster of fear, loss, and death. Life can show us beauty, and we momentarily appreciate it, and then we remember we will die and become sad and angry again. Then we watch Rebel Moon, or anything too wonderous, we desperately lash out, like confused chimpanzee's. It's no ones fault we are advanced enough to understand that we will eventually die, but not advanced enough to be immortal, (yet). For the time being the solution is to embrace death, and appreciate creativity and differences with love and tolerance. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good life.

I just watched it. It's a bit too much tropes (stuff we've seen before) ... but it's enjoyable... like reading comic books... not high art... but visuals are the high point.

Sam & the robot set up him saving her a couple scenes later 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

You blew it dude and you were doing so well: no the scene between Sam and the robot at the river was crucial, despite what you contend, otherwise it would have made no sense for the robot to have saved her later when she was being attacked by the mob. Obviously she connected with it and reactivated some semblance of empathy which allowed it to become a soldier again for a moment.

Saw a review on KZfaq. My Review. Guy likes Snyder too but he said it was ok/good. Not verbatim but he said they talked abt characters we didn’t see or thought would have a bigger role. My answer to that is we didn’t see Emperor Palpatine until the sequel but constantly heard of him. Made me think ppl back then, if they had social media, they’d hate Star Wars.

I like to start by saying I am not a grammar wizard. I am only responding to express my opinion on the film and the comments expressed in this video. I wholeheartedly agree with you on: - Character development being mostly nonexistent. I feel this has been a problem with many movies in the last decade. - I feel Gunnar would have been a better protagonist over Kora. Again this could of been done through character development. For example, After covering more background on Kora and her deserting the empire. We can have Gunnar save Kora from some kind of farming accident. Then we have Gunnar intervene in the stables. At this point Kora is running away again and heads to the stables to retrieve a mount. She observes Gunnar being beaten and ready to be executed. She then intervenes because he saved her earlier "Life Debt". - They rushed the rebel team together to quickly. There should of been more side adventures like needing to repair/refuel that leads to gaining a new companion. - No story arcs for the main characters. I disagree with you on: - The LIGHTSABER reference when you refer to Bae Doona. The blades were not an energy sword but heated by her gauntlets. Even if they were an energy blade Isaac Asimov wrote about them in 1944. As for flaming blades you can go back to Genesis 3:24. I don't see this as any kind of RIP. - I feel some of your unneeded scenes references are a nice "polish" to a movie. While others should of had more story that led up to them. - Your reference to food and a ship able to warp. Those are two different technologies to start and if your a militaristic civilization why research agriculture when you WARP to a planet and just refill your food stores. To me it feels like they just take what they need and placed most of their research in weaponry. A lead to the rebels whereabouts led them to that area. They warp there demand crops capping off their food stores and taking so much depriving the chance of the rebels being able to get any themselves. - Comparing how a few heroes are going to take on an army of millions. I have no clue where this opinion even developed. You are not going to send millions after a small group to start, it's a waste of resources. Those millions you talk about are most likely spread out among the planets. Second, it's easier to infiltrate and sabotage as a small group i.e. Death Star or Rogue One. Third, the way part one ended our heroes are unaware that Noble survived and Balisarius is now aware that Kora is alive. The heroes think they have time to devise a plan and gather allies. The Bottom Line: - I can put almost any movie under a microscope and shred it. - Acidic opinions combined with Social Media unfortunately leads to an amplified "LEMMING EFFECT" - Rebel Moon is lacking character development and back story. - CGI and Green Screen is terrible at times. - The show needed another part or been made into a full series. This would of allowed for better character development, backgrounds, and story arcs to have been achieved. - YET FOR SOME REASON I STILL LIKED IT. I would give it a 6.5 with hopes it gets better.

You are so right. This had so much potential, let's hope part two has the time and resources, and can learn from the mistakes of part one.

I can forgive a movie for script, pacing , tone but never for being boring !!

Rebel moon is a top 2023 film for me! Characters were cool. Story was solid. Villains were terrifying. 9 put of 10!

All of your suggestions could work...I think the biggest issue is the lack of character development and Im presuming"a portion of the extra hour is devoted to some of that...they should have released it instead despite the R rating...does that really matter with streaming anyway?

I’d totally watch if you did super long vids, these are always great and I’m like, “keep going!!!!” 😅

Uh, we got ZERO back story on Luke, Leah, Chewbaca, R2D2, C-3P0, and Grand Moff Tarkin. ALL the back story we got on anybody else was: Han owed Jabba, the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs, and Obi-wan and Vader used to be friends until Vader turned to the dark side. That's it. And the Star Wars world building was extremely abbreviated, relying heavily on visuals to immerse you until you could catch up. And Star Wars is a classic. And Rebel Moon has not held itself out as anything other than an action-packed hybrid western/space opera. Not sure where these lofty expectations are coming from -- were you expecting Shakespearean drama? ALSO, there's a whole other half of this movie coming out in April in which I assume we will get the payoffs for what has so far been mostly setup. So, gimme a break. #rebelmoon

I was royally confused about a ship needing food. 10,000 bushels is confusing as it is only grain. Are they making loaves of bread? Feeding livestock?

A really expensive Battle Beyond the Stars/ Magnificent Seven/ Seven Samurai.

Im stuck on The 100, The 100 is addicting

If farm boy keeps his mouth closed .....the general leaves . Instead he gets his entire village into starvation. He's not a hero, he just feels guilty .

Without watching it or anything else. I can tell you if the first movie is a bust there’s no fixing it. I’ve still never seen it done except with Picard season 3

Character arcs and developments are missing but I'm optimistic about all of Part One being a "set up" and Part Two is the rest of the story.

Your *constructive* criticism is right on the money. I was just citing the lightsaber-wielder as an example of wasted potential. Her rushed introduction offered a brief moment of depth…only to vanish into vapor as they shuttle off to the next set piece.

Superb critique. Thanks!

Need Henry Cavil to not make these mistakes for Warhammer 40k 💪🏿⚡

I knew it was gonna suck from the opening scene where the space vegene opens up and the ship came out

During Kai's betrayal, I honestly expected him to suddenly release the others. With his reasoning being that it was their best shot at killing the Admiral, without needing to fight his entire army.

Was a good movie to me

i really like your analysis, but it made me wonder; have you ever written/produced any stories that employ your own advice? I'd love to see what you got.

It was Definitely missing flow. But basically it was what Snyder said it was. It's not bad but it's nit great. But maybe it all comes together with the 2nd half. The trailer for part 2 looks action packed.

It feels like watching a video game cutscene compilation, but the editor forgot to include some key in-game dialogue 😂

the moment she gave the I was taught that love is weakness speech I clicked out.

I think the complaint of enduring one version to experience a different version is spot on. Whatever one may or may not like about Rebel Moon, a director's cut will likely be better if only in comparison. When it's you against you, you're always gonna win. I am, however, past the point in my life where I think speculative re-writers are generative. If anything, that kind of insight might be better served in crafting one's own story. On that note, you're media analysis and critique is very good and I'd be stoked to read or watch something you may make. I'm more frustrated with the prospect of having to watch yet another movie twice than I am with another mediocre sci-fi flick. People like mediocre sci-fi flicks. They're fine! I just don't like that Rebel Moon has (or is), essentially, homework. I bet the versions will be released far enough apart to require another month's sub to the Netflix.

So, it's going to a rate r version. Does the r stand for ridiculous?

Your Star Wars comparisons make total sense. This originally was supposed to be a Star Wars script, even the character with the “Laser Blades” looks remarkably like one of the Jedi from the Clone Wars.

Please dont tell me this wasnt good i was looking really forward to it, ill watch it and then watch this video

They should of done it into a series honestly. Supposedly the "real" rebel moon film uncut is like 5 hours long and rated r. Five 1 hour episodes. But Netflix split it into 2 parts and then further chopped down each part more. This could of been Netflix's answer to GOT/HOD and Star Wars/Dune in one swing. This universe has POTENTIAL it's just the execution wasn't right

I was hoping the Imperial soldier firing the cannons of the ship would kill them all in the final battle. Then when he dodged Bloodaxe's spear, that clearly shouldn't have been able to easily pierce glass that must survive in space, I let out cheer. RIP in peace that guy.

I think Rebel Moon is a flawed masterpiece but there are flaws here and there. To be honest, Rebel Moon should’ve been a television series.

I dont think anything will ever recreate the intial success of star wars it was flash in the pan.

i agree with all of these. Though the best solution wouldve been a tv series which each episode focusing on each character.

Only thing that’s wrong with the movie is the random bad cgi and how fast paced it is. So yes, it needs more time to breath but that could be in the directors cut (could). No characters should have died (Spoilers), probably should have spanned 5-6 movies realistically. I would give it a 3/5 for now but I’m 100% certain his directors cut will be at least a 4/5.

The scene with Sam and Jimmy has more meaning than you realize. You’ll need to read the book for that.

See, the problem with a two-part movie (and this also applies to Dune, whether you admit it or not) is that we're only seeing half the story; we have no way of knowing if the second half will give the underdeveloped characters and plot the meat they need. For instance, your criticism at 7:15 might be off-base. It seems likely that Noble doesn't desire fame in and of itself, he desires it as a means to prove his worth to Basilarius, and Part 2 will explore that more. But we don't know.

The real failure is everyone expecting more out of this Mary Sue film.

Fantastic points. Couldn’t agree more.

I basically watch your channel to be a better storyteller, thanks for the tips!

I dont think its a disaster but it definitely feels like half of a film at times. I feel the directors cut will fix a lot

It is good up to approximately 3 quarters of the way through and then it seems to be missing something. Still better than any of Disney Star Wars other than rogue one. Rebel moon part one feels as if they are trying fit too much into a small space of time. Let’s see what part 2 brings us, and who knows there maybe a DC version to come out on blue ray to maximise profits.

I liked it but I feel like it should've been longer with that ending having happened on the second part tho, they were going the right path but felt like at the end they just squeezed in that ending, they should've spent the first movie with developing the characters and at the end a cliff hanger, or like star wars just leaving ppl wanting more,

Felt like some parts in this movie shouldve been left out and the important parts needed were took out

If you think Kora "ignoring the possible abuse of Sam and then defending herself if jumped" would have been "more" or "better" show and tell, then you need to UP your movie reading game. The character arc of Kora perfectly explains her actions, or better-perfectly SHOWS WITHOUT TELLING why she did what she did. It's just that the arc only starts making sense when you first learn, later on in the movie, that Kora had been a guard-a protector-to the daughter of the slain King, who was slain too, and whom they believed to have been a reincarnation of Princess Issa, something that is suggested as being the case for Sam through the scene where she talks to Jimmy and gives it a floral Tiara. Sam is another reincarnation of Princess Issa and Kora is somehow forever bound to her. She is her eternal protector, even if that includes protecting the community as a whole and not being a personal bodyguard to her for now. She just had to be there, get involved, and save Sam, per fate. It's quite possible Kora doesn't even realize this, hence the indifference. On the other hand, it's highly possible that Jimmy understood Sam as the new Princess Isaa when she touched its face. The movie is shit. There's no doubt about it. The sequel will be shit too. The movie could have used the prophecy to transfuse a transcendental order into the way things played out, something which the score did manage to do at times. And then you talk about character arcs!

3:10 I knew a disclaimer was coming. Haha.

I agree with just about everything you said. Not really sure about some of the scenes being unnecessary as some directors do like some previous scenes to set up others. I know you explained this but it is somewhat a trivial issue. My biggest complaint that could have cut down on run time was ALL THE DAMN SLOW NOTION ACTION SCENES!! Every single action sequence had about half of it in slow motion. Why? A few shots here and there cool. Every time, nauseating. Imagine if every space battle and lightsabre dual was in slow motion. You would give up half way through it.

I really loved this. It could be a really great cinematic universe if they could stop the character cuts.

I thought it was terrible. I didn't care at all for any of the characters and the story didn't make sense. U hit all of the points on why it is bad.

I kept asking myself what various characters motivations were, but before I could make any sense of it, up pops another one. Like coins dropping in a tray except coins have a reason for being in the tray. It felt fast and empty. To be honest, the only character I felt drawn to was to robot with flowers in its antennae. He was sympathetic and had a reason for dropping his weapons. I wanted to know more. I couldn’t give a crap about any of the others.

Kora: I was taught love is weakness 5 min later Kora: I was encouraged to loved .... what?

You just giving them more juice for part 2 hit harder

I liked the movie. It's not the best, but it's still, somewhat, 7 samurai in space. I would say though, the main character should have been like Luke or like in 7 samurai like were Kikuchiyo is not a skilled fighter. That kind of character arch is usually better

I need to argue a point made around 7:45 This whole movie was a scene that wasn't needed to tell the story there wasn't really any story at all just an insistence that if they had one at all, it happened off camera.

The scene with Sam and Jimmy would be really important, except that you don’t need Jimmy in this movie at all to advance the plot. It’s important to his character but the character is only introduced for a few minutes to presumably be important in a different movie.

The scene with the robot and the girl is the best section of the heart you correctly state the rest of the movie lacks. It’s weird you say it’s unnecessary. It sets up the robot shooting the soldier. The Griffin Navi scene is, as you said, unnecessary.

Your points make sense, and I think changing things around where Kora were a teacher or a support to a more naive main character would make this story more interesting. But the problem wasn't really Kora or who she was. The problem was everything else. Altered Carbon had the exact same kind of protagonist in Takeshi Kovacs, and yet he was infinitely more interesting, and his story was more compelling. So many other things made me annoyed with this movie that'd need to change (the soldiers acting like thugs with a flat hierarchy and no consequence to their actions would have been better off just being criminals or deserters, for instance). But Kora could have worked under better writing, is my point. Maybe just not to this kind of story.

i was excided about watching this movie but soon as i put it on the audio turned me off.. the narration was muted/mumbled

The ➕️ of part 1 THE CHILD OF FIRE - The story inspired by the 7 SAMURAI - The perfect casting especially SOFIA BOUTELLA who plays KORA - The production they put the means to build the village a Ship everything is not in CGI - The sound design of the ship environment - Discreet and effective music to relieve tension. THE ➖️ - The NAZI Look of the representatives of the ORDER not a fan of this choice. - Too many HEADLIGHT LENS effects which are often useless - Too much slow motion which doesn't energize the fights. - A censored version PJ 13 missing 1 hour more gore and more realistic sex. - We need more dialogue between the REBELS, there is no real complicity at this stage of history.

How you say the scene between the Girl and the Android meant nothing when THAT android is the one that saves her? YES if he had not done that then the entire plot would have been screwed. LOL

It was exciting, fun, action packed. It would have been cool to see the spider lady and the bird dragon join the rebel team. The last fight seen was kinda cheesy. Good movie overall though. Zach Snyder, the king of slow motion karate kicks!!!💕💕💕😄

Remember, at the end, when they try to revive Noble, they said "Hit him with everything!" I know the movie had ended, and that particular detail isn't important, but still, can't they be a little bit more creative? lol

What chance does a group of hand to hand combatants have against an enemy capable of orbital bombardment?

On the topic of the scene with Sam and the Robot, it does serve a very simple purpose as a bridge for setup and payoff. With the Robot saying how Sam reminds them of the princess who was assassinated. Taken with the earlier exposition of the machines dropping their arms after her death, it is later payed off when the robot kills the person holding Sam at gunpoint. The movie was terrible, but scenes like that show me that something more interesting could have been produced had this not been a Snyder movie. The Robot was the only good character in the movie in my opinion and that is only in the hope that part 2 can further expand on the lore of their kind, and developing them into a more interesting character. Although I know that would be too much to ask seeing how this movie turned out.

Mostly i just think, there wasnt enough time really building the characters and backstory. I think Rebel Moon would have worked better as a 6 episode series. Six for the first part, and Six for the second part. Each episode an hour long, but each one slowly adding and developing the story and characters. There's a lot of promise in Rebel Moon and I really didnt dislike it at all. I think it was a decent 7.5/10. Maybe the next part could help add to the story a little better. Its possible that the story just feels incomplete because theres more to come in the next movie. But that once again lends validity to my first thought. Rebel Moon would probably have worked great as a six episode series. In fact, if you think about it, many of the scenes in Part 1: A Child of Fire do feel like parts of episodes. Had this been a special limited series on Netflix, it would have had more time to elaborate on lore and build characters better 🙏

Agree, 100%. This story had potential. This was fixable. It could have been great. I dont know why they call it Rebel Moon, Child of Fire. It should have been Rebel Moon: Go Go Gadget, Plot Convenience!

So glad we don't have to pay for movies anymore.

A pretty weird mash up of star wars , dune , serenity and the magnificent 7 aka the seven samurai
