While watching Rebel Moon the Star Wars influence is obvious but what I haven't seen as much discussion on is how much David Lynch's Dune there is in this movie. Maybe that's why I find myself appreciating such a deeply flawed film.

Though is it really a good thing that it exists, or just a sign of how stagnant movie-making has become that Zach Snyder doing his thing an eighth (?) time feels fresh and vital?

Even if you hate what Snyder cooks, it's still an actual attempt at a meal and it's still unmistakably his.

2023-12-18 23:52:50 +0000 UTCZack Snyder makes movies that you see in the background of other movies, for better or worse. It'll be interesting to see how many strong opinions of a movie that isn't even out yet spawn from the YouTube comments. Lol
