Those who were underwhelmed the first time around are likely to remain unimpressed. Go to Full Review
Joshua Polanski There Were No Gods Left Sep 8, 2024
One of the most quintessentially anthropocentric space fantasies on screen. Go to Full Review
David Chen Decoding Everything Sep 1, 2024
"The movie has just begun but it’s already clear what these new director’s cuts represent: They are bloodier, meaner, nastier, longer, and deeper versions of the Rebel Moon films that have already been released." Go to Full Review
Cris Kennedy Inner East Review Aug 14, 2024
3/5
What I like about these two films were the things I liked about the original versions, a certain homage to those fantastical Frazetta illustrations... They're still long and self-indulgent, only now two hours more so. Go to Full Review
Armond White National Review Aug 9, 2024
Instead of grasping the seriousness of conquest and resistance as experienced in human history, Snyder makes everything into a humorless Heavy Metal cartoon. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider Aug 9, 2024
Inside the aimlessness of Zack Snyder’s extended take on his already lengthy original film are scenes and moments of really satisfying science fiction. You just gotta get past all the space junk that surrounds them. Go to Full Review

Rob B @Boytitan 6 days ago This was beautifully shot. The world-building was fantastic. The lore was fantastic. I really don't know why this didn't get more attention, or at least good attention, because it was quite well done. The directors cuts were a welcome addition and brought a much richer and adult lens to the saga See more Greg W @RT24545776 Oct 25, 2026 I saw all the negative reviews for this but thought I'd give it a go & thoroughly enjoyed it. Great special effects and battle scenes, along with decent acting. I went straight into Episode 2 after this one. Well worth the watch. See more Emmanuele C @RT79297851 Oct 23, 2026 Rebel Moon – Part One: is a breathtaking sci-fi adventure that showcases Zack Snyder’s extraordinary visual imagination. From its stunning cinematography to its spectacular action sequences, the film creates a fascinating universe that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique. The world-building is impressive, the atmosphere is immersive, and the story of a group of unlikely heroes standing against a ruthless empire is genuinely compelling. Sofia Boutella delivers a strong performance as Kora, bringing depth and emotion to a character whose mysterious past adds intrigue to the narrative. The film’s epic scale, beautiful visuals, and powerful themes of courage, sacrifice, and resistance make it a memorable cinematic experience. While it clearly draws inspiration from classic science fiction and fantasy, it has enough personality and ambition to stand on its own. It is an exciting beginning to a promising saga, and its rich universe leaves you eager to discover what happens next. See more Yagmur M @RT27604542 Oct 13, 2026 Extremely mid. Some would say the middest movie ever possibly conceived with a hard r rating and unlimited budget. See more gulu G @RT97873459 Oct 12, 2026 The Director's Cut is honestly so much better. Hope Zack keeps up the amazing work and keeps pushing forward! See more Mateus Henrique P @RT61910432 Sep 17, 2026 Essa versão tem o ritmo melhor, tudo ficou melhor explicado, achei a entrada da Nêmesis mais convincente e o desenvolvimento do Jimmy mais completo do que na outra versão, enfim, um excelente RPG épico de aventura espacial!
