It matters, but a lot differently than other studios. If they see that Rebal Moon brings in a lot of viewers and memberships, then people will invest more money into Netflix. That's how Netflix makes money I believe. Could be wrong, but it is something like that.

I gave it 10 minutes and tapped out.

All the characters are like Creator a character from a random online RPG.

The only thing that could have made this better is if Rob Liefeld had done the comic version.

........What a complete fucking mess. This film in its current form only works if one just wants to see some mindless action scenes and decent visuals. It's immediately obvious that this was originally a rejected Star Wars script, it's several elements from SW and other sci-fi/fantasy films hastily thrown together. It's brutally slow with bad pacing and clunky dialogue, just nearly 2 hours of "go to this random place and recruit this random person" culminating with a plot twist that's super contrived and doesn't work. There's almost no actual character arcs except for Sofia Boutella's character who has something resembling an arc. I got basically no sense of who these people were or why I should care about them, or why they'd want to join this rebellion beyond "evil empire is evil". The cast is solid, but none of their performances are particularly good since the material they've been handed is as DULL and banal as possible, it's mostly pretty damn boring with not much sense of fun or excitement. There's some nice visuals and worldbuilding I guess, but basically all of it is very familiar, there's almost no originality on display. Some of the action scenes are decent but much of it is also marred by TOO MUCH SLOW MOTION! Really this is less an actual movie and more a glorified tech demo, the future director's cut will need a complete restructuring in order to salvage this. 3/10

I didn't have high expectations, but actually liked Rebel Moon - Part One.
