While I didn’t care much for “Rebel Moon”, this blog post from a graphics designer who worked on the movie details the meticulous process of designing the fonts and typefaces to reflect the different aspects of its world.

    The half naked guy “breaking in a Gryphon”.

    The “genius” general who does little more than shoot a gun.

    Fighters who fly in front of a slow moving gun platform.

    I guy that survives a >100’ fall onto jagged rocks.

    This story being a terrible rip off of the “Seven Samurai” story, just in space and terrible.

    Storm trooper level shooting.

    Overly elaborate mechanisms to incapacitate victims.

    Terrible dialogue.

    I am starting to think that Zack Snyder doesn’t actually have any fucking talent at all

      Even if you can ignore all that, because you just want to watch a stupid action movie, the pacing and plot structure is just terrible. The second act was way too long yet the story barely progressed. It was just a boring fetch quest. And the third act was just hastily slapped at the end and was mostly a dumb action sequence.

      And I couldn’t care less for all the action scenes in the second act since there was zero build up to the action. Like with that fight with the spider, I was rooting more for the spider than for that warrior. Since the story didn’t make me feel invested in the warrior. All those scenes where they introduce the new characters should have been each a few minutes long at most. So the betrayal could have happened in the second act. So there would be more time to tell a story and build up to the action in the third act.

      Even a stupid action movie needs to have good pacing and structure.

      Right but how much of this was done in slow motion.

      Seriously.

      Take out ALL the slow motion and get back to me, a good movie is there. The slow motion ruins it and if that was gone I’d be ready to talk about content.
