Yes it was absolutely dreadful as a modern sci-fi.

No coherent storyline and wooden acting.

Trash.

That's not fair to either the country or the bird!

Hello, I’m doing a rebellion against what will be ridiculously overwhelming odds.

‘Great, I’ll definitely join you even though we have only spoken for one minute’

Would you like to know any more detail at all?

‘Nah, I’m already packed, since I have some poorly explained/weak motivation to come with you’

Cool lets go on this spaceship and recruit someone else. Perhaps they’ve been brooding in a cave somewhere and will immediately join us as well.

‘Great - lets get on this spaceship!’

What a pile of st. How does nobody at any point in this process say…er hang on guys does this not seem a bit crap?

Oh no I’ve fallen 100m on to jagged rocks. I’m surprised to find myself still alive after this literally miraculous event but I bet the audience aren’t and don’t even care.

I've read that both director's cuts will be released in the summer, so after.
I haven’t seen the film yet, but did listen to Snyder being interviewed on Joe Rogan the other day. Snyder was saying that he really wanted it to be an R/18 film, and an homage to his favourite comic as a kid; Heavy Metal. Netflix wanted a bigger audience, so they struck a deal that he’d make an R/18 version and cut it for initial release, and then he’d get to release the R/18 versions very shortly afterwards as director’s cuts.

He said the director’s cut versions will be out at the end of the summer after the second part has done its initial run, and the running time on each part will be an hour more than the cut versions. Whether or not that will improve the story, I guess we’ll find out.

Snap. It’s a good brain out film.

I've just realised I've never watched Battle Beyond the Stars. I think I was confusing it with The Last Starfighter.

I might have to give it a go as I like a bit of cheesy 70/80s sci-fi.

When a dog takes a crap in your curry, it doesn't matter how much curry you add, even if it's the most incredible curry cooked by the Hindu Goddess of food Annapurna herself - it's still going to taste like dogst.

Some things just cannot be fixed.

I didn't think it would be possible to make a worse film than the first one. I was wrong.

Just finished it. There were a couple of nice cinematic moments but generally utter dross.

I just watched the Critical Drinker. Oh dear. I think the review was likely a lot more entertaining than the film.

Based on the review I am not rushing to watch it

Laughably poor. Flatcaps, Scandi accents, steampunk spaceships yet the villagers harvest corn using scythes. The people who greenlit this need sacking.

Yes it is funny isn’t it. Spaceships, all sorts of incredible technology, yet galaxy wide authoritarian empire is still reliant on some sacks of grain and yes they haven’t invented a harvesting machine yet on the planet…

I chuckled towards the end when he said “you saved everyone” but not really everyone was it, loads of people were gunned down and they had a mass funeral lol

Is anyone going to have an honest conversation with Netflix bosses about how dreadful it was?

Basically what my wife said, they're harvesting a continent by hand but have a hover cart. Why no hover combine harvester?

Maybe these people are some kind of Space Amish or something.

Either way, the films are doggerel.
