Sofia Boutella was more attractive in Star Trek: Beyond.

The sails in the Fandom Menace's weird support for Zack Synder ended with he accidentally insinuated that G&G was racist or something. I say accidentally because Zack Synder is not a smart man and has to be a Hollywood virtue signaller whom at the time said #StopAsianHate. Regardless of intention, that group chat got cold at that point.
Oddly enough, his skill set actually would have worked for a Flashpoint Paradox movie seeing as how Watchmen is the only good movie he ever made.

And black protag too, the wokes have truly fucked things up for these as ESG funds dry out studios will have to avoid those two like the plague or risk losing money.
The irony...
That, as well as Ice Pirates and Starchasers. Even Star Wars parodies such as Spaceballs, Thumb Wars and either Family Guy or Robot Chicken respective Star Wars parody trilogies.

This is going to be fodder for the YT critics and dudes like Mauler for sure. So many issues with this POS that I wonder if it was a shitpost for Snyder or just a quick paycheck?
1: very direct and unoriginal ripoffs of not just Star Wars but shit like Avatar and a dozen other common Sci Fi things but especially Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven. It gives the movie the effect of feeling like a ripoff low budget movie you'd find on the Sci Fi channel back in the 90's before they started working with the Asylum.
2: we are given next to no time whatsoever to get any kind of feeling for these characters. Part 1 acts like this: boring and quick introduction to one character, action scene, move on to the next character and rinse and repeat.
3: it feels like either huge chunks of the script or film were left on the cutting room floor or -considering the cheapness of a lot of the CGI- it looks like their budget was cut at the 11th hour and they just shouldered on.
4: the action is straight up bad. It's like Snyder just did not give a fuck or it's like I said, the budget was cut or some other behind the scenes fuckery happened. Say whatever the fuck you want about BvS but the fight scenes were great and it still has the single best Batman fight scene in all of the live-action pictures.
Edit: 5: the cinematography was mostly really ugly. A lot of uncharacteristic lens flares like Jew Jew Abrams. It was very distracting once you notice it and how almost every single shot -without exaggeration- has this yellow/orange light as if David Fincher got lazy and just said "Fuck it!"

Admittedly I liked Znyder’s earlier work, which consists of Dawn of the Dead, 300 and Watchmen. Not only were they visually appealing, but at least there was some cohesiveness to the films. His later films are just edgelord messes you’d have a hard time trying to get through.
Ever since Sucker Punch, he seemed to have gone off the rails.

It's working on the notion that anyone cares for it. I haven't heard anything on the film, it looks like it's DoA.

That would be implying that the female protagonists of yesteryear and the female protagonists of today aren't completely different. But please, continue being a disingenuous retard.
Zack is a competent director but an atrocious writer.
I tried watching this last night and fell asleep twenty minutes in, but I laughed pretty hard at the opening where she is plowing a field with a horse like it's the 16th century. What kind of sci Fi setting is this?

Ive gotten a pretty big 40k feeling from how random the tech level is. I can buy some worlds are more primitive then others.
I'm not saying (or even implying) the modern female protagonists are the same as the ones prior you dumb retard nigger. Nu female protagonists are absolute cringe with lefty political identity messages that miss the point of what made female protagonists work in the first place

Just saw it. Man was it awful.
The characters are such of an all sucking black voids of charisma or humanity. None of the actors had any chemistry whatsoever.
The movie gave no real reason to care for it's heroes and it's villains lack anything that could make them engaging either.
The most dumb thing in the movie was that the high tech empire for some reason needed the grain from some poor agricultural colony of Irish farmers on this moon of this Jupiter like gas planet. It's supposed to be a Seven Samurai reference but it ends up feeling more like A Bug's Life.
Some of the villains wore these uniforms that look like a cross between Hugo Boss, Augusto Pinochet,and Doug Walker wearing M. Bison's uniform. Some of the troops wear these power armor that looks like a cross between roman centurions and Halo's Spartans but without their iconic helmets. And then there were these aliens in these red dresses among them for some reason. But for some reason all of the human villains had these Richard Spencer style buzz cuts that absolutely made me laugh the first time the main villain took his hat off and then all of them were shown to have these. It looked really fucking stupid.
There was this knock off of the cantina scene from Star Wars with this guy that is supposed to either be a stand in for Greedo or the you would be dead guy. That character felt so out of place in this movie with his actor having actual energy put into his character like if he had no idea what the rest of this movie was going to be like. There was also this girl that could bring this dead bird back to life and another girl held hostage by the spider lady that wants to kill children because the pollution render her infertile. Asian lady kills the spider lady making that scene feel entirely pointless. After that the movie became an absolute sleep aid snooze fest. Completely feel asleep at what probably was halfway through the movie and woke back up at right before the credits. I'm glad this was not a theatrical movie.

Hey, Sucker Punch was just pointless, fanservicy action schlock. So far RM looks just kinda B-movie tier.

What's weird is it's a high budget amalgamation of hundreds of low budget sci-fi B-movies. You've all seen some version of this move hundreds of times. It's so incredibly derivative that a few tweaks to the dialogue and it could have been a serviceable parody. There's no point in doing anything sci-fi unless you have a strong take on a good idea, it's probably the hardest genre to be original in.
I will say one thing about the casting - Snyder doesn't strike me as the conscious diversity quota type, but it's pretty noticeable that all the Motherland characters are Nordic/European and male, and noting this fact spoils a plot twist near the end of the movie. The lead looked kind of striking with the short military haircut but otherwise none of them stand out beyond the fact that they are indeed, diverse.
It's very interesting to watch current day moviemakers try and fool you when they're forced to pick only certain ethnicities and even genders for treacherous characters.
Most of modern day expensive big budget movies (sci-fi or not) still look like low budget Syfy original movies with visual effects looking worse than any modest budget film that came out in either the 80s, 90s or 2000s.

Ideally, it shouldn't be the hardest genre to have originality in. But, overcoming that takes thought, which is something that Zack did little of for this project. The plot of this movie is ripped straight from Star Wars. He didn't even try. The fact that it's just being described as "Star Wars mixed with Magnificent Seven" lets you easily imagine how the plot's going to go.

Ok on a second (and this time full) watch of this movie on kiwifarms Friday movie night I can fully say that this movie was the greatest unintentional comedy since Jupiter Ascending. It's nothing but clichés and tropes all played straight and serious. There is nothing original in this movie and it feels like an AI bot wrote the script. The main bad guy is a rip off of the nazi inspector from Inglorious Bastards that also a Richard Spencer fanboy that wears morman clothes underneath his Hugo Boss Augusto Pinochet. There's a group of aliens that hangs out with him that is dressed as Space Spanish inquisitor Lord Farquaad. Two black heroes dressed as the bad guys from Battlefield Earth. All the racial minorities characters are racial stereotypes and clichés. The scottish Han Solo rip off betrays them, opps spoilers. Almost the whole movie is bland action scenes and exposition yet it is the perfect movie for beer and good funny friends to spend the night with. It might put you to sleep but if you stay awake you will see stuff so baffling stupid it will be worth keeping awake.
