Rebel Moon (Netflix)

Out of 10 Massively Disjointed Disappointments

Darryl: 4/10
Brian: 3.85/10

Summary

When a peaceful settlement on the edge of a distant moon finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors – outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.

Summary
In 2015, Shaw and Duvall return to the Kazakh power plant where Miura was killed in 1959, now enclosed in a containment facility. Cate, Kentaro, May, and Tim infer that Shaw is trying to rectify the past. Verdugo sends them after Shaw with a small team. Inside, Shaw and Duvall confront the team. Speaking with Cate alone, Shaw explains that he intends to help Godzilla maintain order by separating the Hollow Earth from the surface world. As Shaw primes explosive charges around a portal to the Hollow Earth inside the pit, an adult Endoswarmer emerges. May, Cate, Shaw, and the Endoswarmer fall back into the portal shortly before its destruction.

In 1955, Monarch’s new head Lt. Hatch questions Shaw, Miura, and Randa’s evidence of the Titans’ existence. Randa assaults Hatch while defending Miura from a racist remark. With Monarch’s existence under jeopardy, Shaw convinces Miura and Randa to compile their research. Randa realizes that the Titans evade detection through the Hollow Earth. While sharing his findings with Miura, he learns that she is a widow raising Hiroshi alone. Randa offers to adopt Hiroshi. As a last resort, Shaw reveals Godzilla’s survival while presenting Miura and Randa’s findings to Puckett.
