Netflix's " REBAL MOON " Movie Non-Spoiler Review:

. "Rebal Moon: A Galactic Odyssey Hits and Misses. 

Source: NETFLIX

"Rebal Moon" is a movie aimed at rewriting Star Wars and overtaking the space war, but its execution falls short of the mark.

THE PLOT: 

Cora, an exiled soldier, lives on the moon and assists a local village in farming. 

The ruling Mother World, which governs the galaxy, pays a visit and establishes an outpost for their soldiers to monitor the crops needed to feed their troops. 

With soldiers stationed at the outpost and their behavior making war inevitable, Cora tries to suppress her feelings and desires to escape but finds herself unable to. 

She must fight for the people and assemble an army to resist the invasion. This forms the premise of the movie.

THE GOOD: 

Cora, played by Sofia Boutella, delivers a commendable performance, fitting the role perfectly. After seeing her in many negative roles, she doesn't come across as an odd choice by any means.

The fight scenes shown in the trailer are worth watching, and Boutella possesses the physicality to execute them well.

The CGI and world-building live up to the mark, a notable achievement in an era where CGI often falls short.

The concept is not entirely new, but it had the potential to be one of the best, though it doesn't quite reach that level.

THE BAD:

The excessive use of slow motion detracts from the impact of action scenes, serving to drag out the scenes rather than enhance them. I hope the director recognizes this and addresses it.

The plot essentially comes to a standstill after the initial establishment. Cora fights back at the village, and then the rest of the movie becomes a series of recruitments, with one warrior joining another. Instead of introducing too many characters and their motives, it should have been a journey for Cora and her fight with some help.

The climax is anticlimactic, occurring sooner than expected. While the director may have intended to surprise the audience, it backfired. Instead of the promised epic battle, the audience gets a regular fight.

OVERALL:

Is "Rebal Moon" a worthy watch? Yes, it is. It has great setups, amazing CGI, and some impressive action scenes. 

However, it may feel lengthy at times, but it's not the worst movie out there. You can handle it; the only disappointment would be the climax.

what happened to "MCU Post Credit Scenes"?

Post credits are going nowhere in Marvel these days. Back in the days when Marvel was still cool, post-credits meant something, something to root for. But now, it's not worth waiting in theaters to roll the credits and see Starfox, who isn't going to be mentioned in the next 10 years. Credit : MARVEL STUDIOS Let’s go back to the beginning of post-credits, the Iron Man movie. When Tony meets Nick Fury and he pitches the idea for Avengers, and we knew in that moment we have to follow through all upcoming movies to get ready for the Avengers movie. I watched Captain America, Thor movies just to keep up with the storylines for the Avengers. Credit : MARVEL STUDIOS But now when you compare post-credits after Endgame, it doesn’t make sense or feel like too much to follow. I personally feel like I cannot keep up with the storylines, threads in all the series, movies, and the post-credits. Now let’s compare the post-credit scenes before Endgame and after Endgame...

Netflix's " Rebal Moon The Scargiver" Non-spoiler review:

Rebal Moon:  The Scargiver is hard to describe; it's neither great nor terrible. It falls into the mediocre category. After receiving bad reviews for part one, I hoped Snyder would work on the issues, but he did not. Maybe the shooting part was already completed. Story: In the first part, we see Kora gathering fighters to defend the moon in which she took refuge, and now we see how the fight plays out. Fighters gather at the village, and after the one-hour mark, they fight, and that's the entire premise, with voiceovers providing two-minute backstories for every fighter. The good: There are some moments which are fresh, like James' morals versus his oath not to fight, and Cora being able to board the ship without anyone realizing.  These are some things which need appreciation, and the fight choreography is amazing at times. The visual effects are stunning; all the plasma blasts or the lava flowing after being shot is something new and looks amazing. In this mov...

Netflix's "Spaceman" Spoiler Review:

Unraveling the Web: A Disorienting Journey through 'Skinny Human' and Giant Spiders" credit: Netflix It is a movie made to satisfy the creative needs of writers and directors, and nothing is interesting whatsoever.  My problems with the movie:  Shots Visuals are so trippy; they made me dizzy. Nothing was shot normally; every important scene is either upside down or distorted.  Only the space scenes are tolerable. My head hurt so bad after watching the movie, and I'm writing immediately after completion because I may forget the pain it caused.  Concept- Movies are either made to entertain or educate, but this movie does neither.  The concept is so immature it totally misses the point, and it offers nothing in terms of education.  What is the purpose of his journey? Is it for change? To be a better human? If yes, why don't we start with his negatives, establish the kind of person he is! And give an arc of total redemption.  Is this a high co...
