When a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, 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 new army of heroes is formed.

We do NOT have Netflix, but I have watched the trailers...so I was generally knowledgable about this story and Zack Snyder's desire to make an epic space opera tale in the vein of Star Wars (even shopping it to LucasFilm as a Star Wars film).
I can see why LucasFilm passed, not because it wasn't good, but because it was a BIT racy/spicey.
I have to say, I really enjoyed this story. When we "churn" over to Netflix for a month (or two), we WILL be watching this movie (for sure).
The narrative structure is a bit clunky, but I do not put that the author, nor on the originator, but to the finished product...that might have limited this story...so that it mimiced/shadowed the final product on the screen.
I cannot see characters faces, when reading...so it was fun to look at the cast on Google/IMDb...to remind myself who each person was. That was fun, too.
I called the betrayer. It just felt right. Not sure how it came off in the movie, but it seemed the logical choice.
I also called the final scene...and how it would play out. Death in the Fantasy and Science Fiction world is greatly over-rated.
Obviously, our main protagonist, Kora...is my favourite character. Sophia Boutella is perfect for this role. I cannot wait to see her put this story into action.
Our merry (actually, not so merry) heroes are fun in their banter between themselves.
The antagonist, Admiral Atticus Noble, is the antithesis of his name. He is ruthless and unwavering in his evilness. AND, I can see Ed Skreen playing this to the T.
I am anxiously awaiting the Part Two of Revel Moon: The Scargiver.
No matter what people say, I had fun reading this story and am looking for more.”
