Rebel Moon is a new brand created by Zack Snyder, which is sometimes compared to the iconic Star Wars. However, in this case the movie was created for Netflix, which gave free rein to the aforementioned director, as noted by the two actors appearing in the production.

These actors are Ed Skrein and Sofia Boutella, who plays the main character, Kora. The artists were interviewed by ScreenRant, where they made it clear that they were able to do everything they had planned.

"I thought: 'Where are all those Netflix people telling him what to do? They just said [to Snyder - editor's note], "You have a free hand, do what you want."' And we managed to do everything we wanted," Skrein said.

These words are confirmed by the actress.

"I feel that Zack has deserved this project for so long, and I'm grateful to Netflix for giving it to him along with full control," said Boutella.

Rebel Moon: Part 1 - A Child of Fire is now available on Netflix. Currently, the movie has accumulated fairly average ratings on Rotten Tomatoes; as of this moment, the movie has been reviewed by 95 critics, of whom only 23% recommend the screening. Better is the note from the audience, in this case the title was appreciated by 73% of the more than 1,000 evaluators.

It is worth adding that some experts accused the filmmakers of paying too much attention to world-building, rather than the story itself. This is probably one of the reasons that affected their final rating.

As the name suggests, there will be another part of Rebel Moon. Viewers will have to wait until April to see Scargiver, for that is the name of the continuation of Zack Snyder's show.
