The Plot…

Kora (Boutella) and the surviving warriors of her team return home.  There they learn that Admiral Noble (Skrein) who they thought had been killed, is alive. The Admiral is returning with a warship and enough soldiers to wipe them out.

As Kora, her warriors and the villagers prepare for a battle to the death, secrets are revealed.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

I enjoyed Rebel Moon: Part One – Child of Fire.  I liked Part 2 less.  It may have been a mistake to bring back Admiral Noble.  While he’s a good nemesis, any time you bring a character back from the dead, you diminish the impact of dying.  With Part 2 I often felt like, we’ve been there and done that already.

Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver (2024) earns 3 of 5 stars.
