It doesn't take long before Balisarius' soldiers find out where she is, and they want more than the tax the town owes them. Kora and her warriors won't go down without a fight.

More of the same. My big problem with Rebel Moon is that it is way too serious for its own good. At heart, this is a silly space opera. An attempt to create the next Star Wars. And that's fair, it makes more sense than the endless milking of Star Wars, I just don't get why it has to be so dramatic.
Sure enough, you need some drama for the setup of the plot, but every single conversation is heavy with sentiment. Rebel Moon is a cheesy genre flick, there's no reason to try and make it into something more. Snyder has no clue how to treat this material, but that seems to be a returning problem for him. There's some fun stuff here, but it's eclipsed by the heavy-handed direction.
