While I didn't care much for "Rebel Moon", this blog post from a graphics designer who worked on the movie details the meticulous process of designing the fonts and typefaces to reflect the different aspects of its world.

Even if you can ignore all that, because you just want to watch a stupid action movie, the pacing and plot structure is just terrible. The second act was way too long yet the story barely progressed. It was just a boring fetch quest. And the third act was just hastily slapped at the end and was mostly a dumb action sequence.

And I couldn’t care less for all the action scenes in the second act since there was zero build up to the action. Like with that fight with the spider, I was rooting more for the spider than for that warrior. Since the story didn’t make me feel invested in the warrior. All those scenes where they introduce the new characters should have been each a few minutes long at most. So the betrayal could have happened in the second act. So there would be more time to tell a story and build up to the action in the third act.

Even a stupid action movie needs to have good pacing and structure.
