A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Jeremy Aspinall

Having shepherded the DC Extended Universe, film-maker Zack Snyder sets his sights on a galaxy far, far away with this CGI-heavy mash-up of Star Wars and The Magnificent Seven. A tyrannical empire, an invincible henchman, his ominously powerful master and determined rebel resistance are just some of the none-too-subtle nods to George Lucas's seminal space opera. Sofia Boutella stars as the enigmatic Kora, who is enjoying the rural life on a distant moon until a brutal imperial incursion impels her to recruit a band of warriors, including a Conan-like monster-whisperer, a cyborg swordmaster and a roguish smuggler (Charlie Hunnam). Although suitably epic in scale, the abundance of exposition and slo-mo action scenes drags the story down. The cast do their best in the circumstances, not least Ed Skrein (Deadpool), who has a ball as gleefully lethal enforcer (and ironically named) Atticus Noble. The story continues in Part Two: The Scargiver.
