PLOT With Admiral Noble (Skrein) resurrected, Kora (Boutella) and her crack team have a battle to fight on the humble farming planet of Veldt.
ZACK SNYDER’S REBEL Moon — Part One was an enthusiastic but derivative mess: a ‘gather the team’ yomp through an overly familiar yet logically inconsistent galaxy, which brought together a bunch of vaguely defined characters as a not-so-Magnificent… Seven? Eight? Even that wasn’t clear. Aside from one neat twist, the occasional pretty shot, and the presence of underused robo-knight Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins), there was little to recommend it. Part Two is, at least, an improvement, given some much-craved focus by its single-planet setting (the Amish-ish Veldt) and battle-scene thrust. Even so, there isn’t that much more to recommend it.
