Someone still has to produce that beef & There's no extrapolating away from the farmers, they're present everywhere we turn!

But do you really think the longer cut will get into the grain subplot? Grain is the plot, but I don’t necessarily mean more exposition about the farming. We’re undoubtedly going to get a better picture of the whole socioeconomics of this setting in the actual movie.

Crossposting: Like a lot of people suspected, these are two parts of one whole movie. Part two is a lot more action oriented, and the plot moves along at a pretty brisk pace. There's definitely some editing issues like the first one because they had to cut away from the gorier moments to keep the PG rating. Some first immediate impressions (mild spoilers) I really liked the plasma blade effects, that after image strobe effect looked really cool Ed Skrein strikes a good balance between menacing and scenery chewing, the hallmark of a good villain Jimmy doing a superhero landing with his cape blowing majestically in the wind was awesome I found it really funny that Zack had an actual orchestra playing while the king was being Ceaser'ed The final act was giving extreme Star wars vibes, with the flying ship crashing and them fighting while its listing Also looking forward to the endless derail about grain arguments. Anyways all in all I am definitely interested to see where they go next. Cant wait for the directors cut

 Wheat postin' comin' through. Some good stuff in here During the 'big battle' Titus stops shooting to body slam a random dude Jimmy becomes the ultimate Chappie the lightsaber battle between Kora and Noble as the ship crashes is ridiculous and amazing and so much wheat, far more wheat than you're expecting! High Warlord Zog posted:Did they establish that Doona Bae's character has robot hands in the first one? Oh yes, they even show her cutting off her hands and replacing them with the gauntlets They also show one of the Kali, the goddesses they chained into the ship engines, far more Giger-esque than i was expecting! Also not really a spoiler, because the movie doesn't comment on or explain them at all!

I appreciate Rebel Moon 1+2 as a sort of guide on how to fight against fascists. It isn't perfect and sacrifices some 'better' ideas for the sake of drama and entertainment. For example, Kora should have just blown up the engine room immediately and sacrificed herself to take down the dreadnought but instead there had to be a drawn out climactic action scene. We have Generals and Admirals fighting on the front lines and engaging in melee combat just because it is cool and dramatic. It isn't a smart movie but it is as entertaining as anything else Snyder has done, and a better version of Star Wars than that franchise has been for decades. I found the bizarre mix of old tech, fantasy, and sci-fi to be amusing. The dreadnought has dudes shoveling coal into furnaces right below where they have a goddess chained up and all the sci-fi weaponry is analogous to 20th century earth weaponry. This story could just as easily have taken place in Poland or France or Russia during WW2 but the sci-fi sheen makes it feel slightly more original than watching the Nazis get murked for the umpteenth time. I think as far as Netflix sci-fi goes, these two movies are lower-middle of the road in quality but top notch in CGI effects. It does feel like a video game tie-in, which it apparently literally is, and I think a lot of people had higher expectations for it than was ever warranted. tl;dr: If you can shoot rabbits, then you can shoot fascists

I liked it about as much as the first part. The cuts that they did for time are hidden better than the ones cut for the PG-13 rating, which is to say it's harder to say you know where that extra hour is going to come from but you can see where all the gore is going to be. Some fights were really well done, but still don't reach Snyder's career highs. I do tend to roll my eyes to the whole "slow mo!" criticisms but he did overdo it in these two films. Some fights would have flowed better had they were shot normally with speed ramp to emphasize a particular move or movement, like in the way he says he likes to use it in interviews, but here a few of them are just simply fighting in slow-mo. It makes it look clunky and establishes no baseline of how this would look in normal-mo. The stuff does Nemesis dirty. But I did really like the structure of the film quite a lot. The first half is basically this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5VJnxDLaZY The second half is a war film and paced superbly. It's one told in three acts and is excellent. There are peaks and valleys in the action that it works really well, the heroes are constantly on the defensive but doesn't sacrifice the small victories in service of the hopelessness of the situation. There's a lot less melodrama in the character moments which are just straight dramatic. Fantastic performances all around - in ways they didn't get in the first part. Not sure part two will do anything for those who didn't care for the first part. The build up from the first film definitely pays off in the second but the filmmaker didn't change directing styles between them, just genres. Snyder's DC films are unmatched in my eyes - they're some of the best CBM made, period. I'd call these two films a middle-of-the-road sort.

It's Veldt, according to the subtitles. Which is still pretty on-the-nose, but for slightly different reasons.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:It's Veldt, according to the subtitles. Which is still pretty on-the-nose, but for slightly different reasons. The way Skrein says it, it's just "Welt". Go back to "Welt". Finished Teil 2: Die Narbenmacherin, and yeah the seams aren't quite as noticeable as in the first one. I feel the need to say that Ed Skrein has two problems, and only two problems because I want to state that he is otherwise perfect: Firstly, he is basically doing the same bit as in the first movie. There is no noticeable difference, except now he seems to be stronger because that's what being brought back from the dead does for you I guess. Secondly, Ed Skrein can't loving deal with fighting on a falling battleship platform. Between Rebel Moon 1, Deadpool and this, he is 3-0 on getting his rear end kicked in such an environment; get your poo poo together Ed Skrein!

Being a huge nerd I would like to point out the stuff that this story shares with 1994's Final Fantasy 6 -The Veldt -A deserter from the Empire is the key to the rebel's victory -A black Imperial General refuses to kill a bunch of civilians -An emperor is murdered and usurped by his psycho right-hand man -Enslaved Goddess -Mercenary ninja sacrifices themself -Crab tanks

I tried to give it a fair shot, but completely lost it at the communal water barrel. Are they going to have a hoedown too? (wait, did they have an actual hoedown in part 1? I can't remember). Maybe churn some butter while they're at it? I hate to give George Lucas credit, but he managed to capture the feeling of frontier farmers while still having them use futuristic tech. Instead these are the settlers from the "Up the Long Ladder" episode of TNG. That montage was rediculous. I was really hoping they would literally swing a hammer and sickle together and hold it in mid-air for the camera. Also lol at the Legally-Distinct-From-Lightsabers fight. 2nd funniest movie I've seen this month.

Luke isn't a peasant. The Lars family in A New Hope are (e: at minimum!) middle class. They own slaves and land, Luke basically brags about alien fox-hunting when he's explaining what a good shot he is prior to the Death Star sequence, and Uncle Owen's dead set on Luke staying out of politics.

Love how goons defending the last movie were all “listen, the impracticality of the stupid grain doesn’t matter, it’s just a power play by the empire to mess with them” when this movie spends so much time showing that the grain actually was very important. Gotta spend 10-15 minutes showing them harvest the wheat by hand in future sci-fi world with floating wagon tech. This movie was absolute garbage.
