Roger Ebert

"Rebel Moon" often looks more like an animated pitch for a movie than an actual movie with human characters, urgent drama, emotional stakes, and so forth.

Despite cries for other "Snyder cuts," Warner Bros. wasn’t about to let a big-money maverick like Snyder back into the vaults. But Netflix...rolled out the red carpet for Snyder to make “Rebel Moon,” a four-and-a-half-hour interplanetary sci-fi action spectacular that’s being released in two parts.

But just seconds into the leaden sci-fi saga Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, it’s clear the director is back to indulging his worst tendency for self-serious bombast.

Vulture

Crumbling under the weight of its own visionary grandiosity, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon is a series of amazing-looking sets and costumes and effects looking for a story, characters, emotion — really, anything that might raise the pulse.

The Guardian

The story is a derivative mess that feels as though it was assembled from bits of plot picked off the carcasses of other, better films.

Empire Online

Despite some cool action sequences and interesting aliens, the first Rebel Moon instalment is a disjointed ride through an under-realised universe.

IMDb

There's so much borrowing from several other popular movies that I just wasn't invested in the story because it was all too basic and predictable.

IMDb

Zach Snyder... is trying hard (and succeeding) in showing spectators that having an offensively huge budget and a top visual effects crew is definitely not enough to make a good quality movie.
