Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver is now streaming on Netflix, and if you want to know how Zack Snyder concludes his follow-up to A Child of Fire, read on for spoilers…
Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver, the second and final(?) part of Justice League and Man of Steel director Zack Snyder’s Star Wars and Seven Samurai-inspired sci-fi adventure, is now streaming on Netflix.
If you want to know how the divisive filmmaker concludes (though he has teased sequels) the story, you’ll find a breakdown of the action-packed final act below.
Major spoilers follow.
After taking a bit of time to flesh out the main characters and establish their backstories (and indulge in a bit of slow-motion farming), The Scargiver launches into battle mode, and almost the entire last hour of the movie is dedicated to Kora and her allies attempting to prevent the forces of the Imperium from decimating the population of the planet.
The resurrected Admiral Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein) offers Kora (Sofia Boutella) – aka Arthelais, the adopted daughter of the tyrant Balisarius (Fra Fee) – the chance to save the people of Veldt by surrendering and returning to her father. Kora agrees, but Gunnar (Michiel Huisman) fires a shot to signal the attack, and the war begins.
The heroes ultimately manage to repel the ground assault with the help of powerful robot Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins), but not without a few casualties. Cyborg lightsaber sword master Nemesis (Doona Bae) is killed while defending the children, and Gunnar succumbs to his wounds in Kora’s arms after helping her to defeat Noble once and for all.
Yes, the evil Admiral really is dead this time – unless he somehow figures out how to reattach his head to his body!
REBEL MOON – PART TWO: THE SCARGIVER’s Rotten Tomatoes Score (And It’s Zack Snyder’s Worst-Reviewed Movie Yet)
As for the survivors, it seems their fight is far from over. After the battle, General Titus (Djimon Hounsou) tells Kora that Princess Issa (Stella Grace Fitzgerald) – the messianic child Kora assumed she assassinated years before – is still alive, so we can probably expect a Rebel Moon – Part 3 at some point.
