The Scargiver isn't Part 2 so much as it's the ending to Part 1 stretched and twisted to reach an overlong runtime primarily using slow-motion as a crutch to hide a lack of substance in style. I feel transported back to the 2010s when it felt like every YA film needed two parts to tell one story.
I hated it then and I hate it now, and it leaves the bitter taste in my mouth that someone needs to step in and moderate Snyder's overly ambitious but sadly underdeveloped ambitions. There are nuggets of gold here and there that glimmer with potentially juicy mythology that only needs to be tapped into.
The scale is interesting despite the derivative ideas and, with some better choreographed action, Rebel Moon could take its solid soundtrack and create a space opera less reliant on forcing the viewer to watch faux flair and get their hearts pounding with some epic science fiction.
