Zack Snyder’s films are nothing if not ambitious, but his latest collaboration with Netflix is shaping up to be his biggest yet. The director never does anything in moderation, and his foray into science fiction with Rebel Moon is a dive into the deep end. The project began as an R-rated riff on Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai set within the Star Wars galaxy, and though it proved a bit too unwieldy for Lucasfilm, that didn’t stop Snyder from bringing it to life elsewhere.
