Yet for all the sights to behold in Snyder’s new “Rebel Moon,” the story improves on “Star Wars” in only one meaningful way: it concerns itself with the actions of ordinary people rather than putting all its stock in fate and destiny and bloodlines. Known as a hyper-stylized director with a level of unpleasant detail scuttling under the service of even his PG films like “Legend of the Guardians,” Snyder would seem a great fit for the universe that gave us Jabba the Hutt. When this project was announced, the hope would be that the “300” director would address some of the problems with the recent “Star Wars” sequels, which mostly seemed more the product of boardrooms and staff meetings than artistic vision - something of which Snyder has no shortage, even if his films often stop at “daring” without quite progressing into the realm of the great. “Rebel Moon” was developed from Snyder’s rejected pitch for a darker, more mature “Star Wars” film. It functions more like a Kanye West music video than a sci-fi blockbuster. The costuming is spectacular, and the camera caresses the actors voluptuously, emphasizing every glint of light and bead of sweat on every tanned body.

Rather than hooking the audience with an interesting narrative, compelling characters or imaginative worldbuilding, this movie seems mostly like an excuse for its actors to stand in large rooms looking amazing. “Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire,” Zack Snyder’s new space extravaganza, seems to think it can start a franchise simply by existing.
