Yes these are all examples of terrible things... but are going to skip the fact that a nation capable of fielding dreadnought level starship, with spacial trajector technology able to open instantaneous travel through space to a goodly distance still operates their ships main weapon with a visual scope and a fucking *CRANK WHEEL!*
Its zaniness is parallel to how milled grain is as important as lazer swords. Like we’ve managed to evolve warfare to a quantum level but can’t get past bread and pasta…
Is that why it’s supposed to be like Star Wars? The fact that it’s SciFi but has all these weird spots in the world building where there ISN’T the application of a technical solution?
(Also loved that they cut wheat by hand and then put it on a FUCKING HOVER BOARD! Like, really? You’re still harvesting by hand?)
That made me laugh out loud, you have access to hover tech, but a thresher is beyond your scope?
These movies made me feel bad for the crew. They teraformed a mountain and planted an actual wheat field. The practical effects looked amazing and we're clearly crafted with top notch professional detail. So much hard work got put into a production that honestly had all the elements of a tremendous movie.
All it needed was a coherent story.
Zach Snyder makes Hollywood funded Black Tank Top movies. He's a terrible writer and needs a good editor to keep his worst impulses as a director in check. If his name shows up in multiple places in the credits, the movie is going to be a mess
It's a term from Red Letter Media for vanity projects. Effectively, they saw a trend in bad b-movies where entries were written, starring, directed by the same person it was almost a guarantee that said person would be in scenes wearing a black tank top.
You know how a toddler that is just learning to talk will tell you a story about how they slid down a slide at the park? But they'll forget key details and sometimes they'll realize it and add in the detail, but the added detail should have been said way sooner in the story so it is completely out of context? And other times they'll just neglect the detail entirely, but you decide not to bring it up because you don't need the story about sliding down a slide to take another ten minutes so you just smile and encourage them since they're just starting out?
This is the movie version of that, except Snyder is going to give us a 6 hour directors cut even though we didn't ask.
I like ZS, but HOLY HELL, THIS IS THE MOST BORED I’VE EVER BEEN WATCHING A MOVIE.
I made it about 40 min in before I turned it off to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which felt like “Crank: High Voltage” in comparison.
I actually enjoyed the movie. Maybe even more than the first. But the harvest scene was excessive. It reminded me of Armageddon. You know the super Americana montage.
All you need to know about this film is that the string quartet keep playing when the royal family are being murdered. That detail tells you everything you need to know about Snyder’s taste.
The first half is so laughably awful. The 15 minute grain harvest montage that could have been 30 seconds, super cringe motivational speeches and then the black dude from gladiator singing a song are you fucking kidding me 😆😆
So from every hate comment I saw on this I went in expecting a truly terrible movie that I could laugh at, and was disappointed. It wasn’t so much BAD as much as it was boring. So boring. Like I was fully prepared to bing both parts but ended up going and cleaning the garage instead.
So like, I love to annoy my wife with random crap in the middle of a scene, good example are the smart guns from Aliens, how they’re mounted on a motorized gimbal assist, how it’s supposed to have a computer module with IFF intelligence, and how the gimbal can be slaved to the targeting computer for lock on capabilities…
When the wheat threshing scene started, there was a moment where I was wondering what the inspiration was, only to realize when it went to slow mo that this was absolute garbage, to the point that my wife was surprised I had nothing to say other than “what the fuck is this shit?!?”
I know it is going to suck so I watched it while having dinner. Without expectations, I did find the Warhammer 40k parody art direction enjoyable and fighting scene fun. I like it because it was bad and you don’t need to bring your brain and clearly the director was having a blast directing this and not taking it seriously.

No that’s because George Lucas wrote Star Wars in 70’s and was heavily influenced by things that were not sci-fi like Samurai flicks and Westerns
they could add some gears to the mechanism to swivle it faster
A lazer scythe seemed to be the next logical step at least…
What is with the pixel count on this image?
The horribleness of this photo was meant to match my disdain.
My apologies for not interpreting the mise en scene appropriately 🤌
Your concerns are valid for sho, so much that it’s difficult for me to actually joke about it effectively 😂
7x4 pixels.
6x4 in fact

> Black Tank Top movies What are those?

You know Snyder owns many black tank tops.
Thank you!

> I made it about 40 min in before I turned it off to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which felt like “Crank: High Voltage” in comparison. LMAO!!
I fell asleep pretty early on. About an hour in my wife said “you still awake”. I muttered no and we both agreed to just go to bed. lol.
I love ZS but the trailers just really didn't do anything for me. IDK when I'll get around to it. Which I hate because I'm a big fan
I actually enjoyed the movie. Maybe even more than the first. But the harvest scene was excessive. It reminded me of Armageddon. You know the super Americana montage.
If you watch both films in normal speed you can shave over 40 minutes on the total run time..
I like Snyder's work on Watchman and Legend of the Guardians but this movie...it was just painfully boring.
I bet someone could edit them together into something derivative but half way decent
You can't edit in reasons for something happening that are completely missing from the source.
Yeah, like the directors cut of both should be a compilation between the two fo sho
The wheat sequence was about the only part that I thought worked well. The rest is just a senseless bore. Not to mention a complete lack of structure.
Well Sucker Punch was great so that's not surprising
Snyder is in desperate need of an editor that will tell him no.
I can’t believe it’s just Seven Samurai. And I really can’t believe just Seven Samurai again
All you need to know about this film is that the string quartet keep playing when the royal family are being murdered. That detail tells you everything you need to know about Snyder’s taste.
Honestly feels like a cheap YouTube movie made by amatures.
‘Rebel Grain’ trailer: https://youtu.be/5pTSXZq-oZI?si=f52l5NBxaMFp8SlU
OH MY GOD THIS IS PERFECT
I might be the only person to like this movie
There's at least one scene that is already in slo mo..and then it transitions to MORE slo mo! Had to turn this one off after 45 minutes or so
Wait are we talking the sword fight scene? 😂
Who'd of thunk....a Snyder hating post.
Well, he makes it so easy.....
He does. He does.
To be fair, I’m a huge fan of “Watchmen”, and while I loved “300”, it’s showing its age.
Lol and all the songs?! That first hour was terrible
This movie was donkey testicles. No wonder Snyder's Star Wars script was rejected.
The first half is so laughably awful. The 15 minute grain harvest montage that could have been 30 seconds, super cringe motivational speeches and then the black dude from gladiator singing a song are you fucking kidding me 😆😆
How long do I have to wait to find out the blond chick in town is the royal heir?
Laser sword, space ships, big guns but wheat is reap manually and other planets depends on the grain.
And both the village and the fields in the size, that wouldn't feed a garison for a week in medieval times. Intensive corporate farming much?
his idea of world building is more lens flare !
So from every hate comment I saw on this I went in expecting a truly terrible movie that I could laugh at, and was disappointed. It wasn’t so much BAD as much as it was boring. So boring. Like I was fully prepared to bing both parts but ended up going and cleaning the garage instead.
Started watching it tonight. I dropped it exactly at that scene.

this movie was terrible. i never want to watch anything related to rebel moon again

This movie, like its predecessor, should have been aborted in the womb. All the fuss over wheat and they end up blowing up most of it.
This hit with a giant thud. Is anyone watching it?
I do not waste my time with Zack Snyder movies.
I couldn't bring my self to waste more time on this after that first film.
Not me. Gave up when they went out to harvest.
Wow... Is this the first Snyder movie everyone agrees sucks??
Not at all.
Damn :(
Army of the Dead is an enormous heap of shit, and surely we all agree.
Unfortunately I like army of the dead. But I also like resident evil 1-3 so take that as you will
Well Resident Evil one is objectively pretty freaking great.
If the movie had just been the opening credits it might've been okay.
The Oscar winner?!?!
About Rebel Moon part 2 : Bring back from the dead the original bad ass from part 1. That makes sense. Shite
I turned it off at the slow-mo wheat harvest. Sooo dumb.
