Will we see Star Wars like battles in our lifetimes? That would be dope.

That movie turned out an huge disappointment for me; that moon chase could have been the base to develop an interesting subplot (if not a much better main plot), but no, it was just a self contained albeit technically well made, action scene that could give nothing to a terrible movie.

agreed, it was on of the better parts of world-building in the movie.

It's unfortunate that those moon cars resembled rovers from the 70s (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Roving_Vehicle), and not something more plausible.

Yeah. Like a Tesla with a crash test dummy at its steering wheel.
