Feel bad for all the many people involved (except for the top honchos including Snyder and his adoring coterie) expending so much dedication and effort on all the huge and minute technical details only to be screwed over by ridiculously bad plotting and silly amateurish dialogues - a way sub-par screenplay in other words.
There was also a segment on the significant effort of actually growing wheat and then scheduling to shoot when it was ready for harvesting - BUT did it even mean anything at all to the final movie?? NO! NONE! Zilch!!
Did NOBODY have the good sense (am sure some did and were duly fired) to tell Snyder at least three key things (apart from many others):
1). He's a terribly BAD and terribly TACKY writer!! Don't do it! You have the money. PAY FOR PROPER WRITERS!!
2) LESS can indeed be MORE - eg. Having so many characters, no matter how unique they are, nor how well the special effects folks make each of them look, can actually bland-out a movie instead of making it more compelling. They take up too much time and crowd-out too many scenes and the whole movie becomes a parade of forgettable costume jewellery - none is actually compelling because there is no room for proper character development, and evtually none sticks.
3) A giant space craft building civilisation stealing grains from cart riding, scythe sweeping village farmers is a very very STUPID laughable plot - and a key plot point at that!!
If they can build giant space ships they will have efficient technology to produce food.
Even IF they have to steal grains for no good reason whatsoever, they would have the wisdom and means to enslave the strangely dumb and inexplicably backward farmers and provide them the technology to farm efficiently to produce more and faster and not use slow low yield 10th century earth methods.
This whole enterprise is yet another example of how money power and hubris can overcome common good sense to force-manufacture with huge effort something totally stupid and 'unusable'.
Snyder's coterie of yes-men and yes-women are as much to blame.
At least I hope all the dedicated (but choosingly and probably choicelessly 'blind') underlings and vendors were well paid for their valiant but near-pointless efforts as far as the final movie outcome is concerned. The huge abundance of negative reviews says it all.
This embarrassment is totally on Snyder and no other higher hierarchies as there were in his other movies.
That said, I do enjoy quite a number of Snyder's other movies - good enough to ignore the plot and scripting shortcomings. But Rebel Moon - just a big fat obvious mistake that should never have been allowed to happen.
