Back in the day, there was a three-year gap between each film in the originalStar Warstrilogy. But that was the 70s and 80s, now we live in the age of instant messaging, rapid food delivery andstreaming services.

It was only in December 2023 thatNetflixreleased the first film in its Zak Snyder-directed sci-fi franchiseRebel Moon - Part one: A Child of Fire. It was a massive undertaking forNetflixand now on April 19th, the second movie is set to release. With a combined budget of around $166 million (they were filmed back to back), expectations are high.

TItledRebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiverthis second instalment continues the story of Kora (Sofia Boutella) and her fellow warriors as they once again face off against Atticus Noble and his legion.

Plot details are fairly scarce but Netflix provides its own synopsis, detailing that: “On the eve of their battle, the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. As the full force of the Realm bears down on the burgeoning rebellion, unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge, and legends are made.”

The trailer looks like we’re set for a classic battle of heroically outgunned rebels against the might of an evil empire - where have I heard that before? In all seriousness, it looks visually epic and Zak Snyder (director of300) knows how to choreograph a scrap, so let’s give it a chance.
