S.W.’s Verdict
Zack Snyder's Star Wars audition tape, self-financed by Netflix. Every frame looks expensive and says nothing. The hero is a farmer on a moon who must recruit warriors to fight an empire, which is a plot you've seen before because it's literally Seven Samurai in space, except without the characters, tension, or purpose. The slow-motion montages arrive with the regularity of a metronome. There is a second part. It is also like this.
