Thank you! At last someone smart enough to notice. Kate was annoying yes, but she was not responsible for everybody death. I guess people where left with a bad taste with this film, and they are taking it out on Kate.
Answer: They ripped off a bunch of movies. Ocean's 11 aside since that was the whole point. -Aliens (From the traitor corporate guy trying to get back a sample, to the "You don't see them screwing each other over" line, to the scene where they think the helicopter left them) -I Am Legend (The zombies actually still have human emotions and the leader one cares about his wife so he wants to get her back/avenge her) -The Revenant (Zombie Tiger was just there to recreate that scene) -Indiana Jones (WHO booby traps a casino vault?) -Predator ("It's a monster and I'm just a buff dude but screw it we're going mano y mano!") -Riddick (Zombies that come back to life when it rains. Never used, idek why they lifted the idea) -BVS (Bulletproof batman cowl. Wtf was that thing made of?)
So…we not gonna talk abt the blue eye robot zombie during the casino shoot out? Or how the black guy got bit when the Swedish guy saved him b4 he even gets bit
Snyder confirmed in an interview that there are robot zombies that will be explained in the other media. As far as the bite, I thought it had to do with the time loop/travel stuff going on. Deiter saving him from the bite was one timeline and when Vanderohe emerged from the vault he had crossed over into a different one where he didn't get saved. He just didn't have the memory of it because of weird timey wimey hijinks
The movie for me was mediocre at best. The premise was good enough but there are so many convenient bs happening at all times, dumb decisions, and overall pretty bad characters that it made me want to stop watching. Just to name a few : - the Alpha being faster than the helicopter at the end (I mean come on, they didn't even try), - the time constraint that is irrelevant: "20 minutes left? We got time to do everything lmao" ; - the bad guy is dumb af ; - the first death was fucking stupid and preventable or could have been improved in so many ways (plot-wise); - the last guy who took 2 years to turn after being bitten... - The cast having god aim for regular zombies but can't do shit against the Alpha (bullet-proof helmet my ass)
I understand most of these, and agree with them for the most part but the one that I don’t was the guy who got bit that didn’t turn immediately. If we take into account the idea of the timeloop idea then it means we are seeing an alternate timeline and not the original one. This is heavily implied by the fact that the bite he has is nowhere near the spot Zeus bit him.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT i don't think it's the time loop thing mate. I just think it's an inconsistency in the plot. If it is an alternate time-line, it still took him ages to turn, you can compare it to the main guy and the shitty cop.
first time watching, i just watched the opening scene about the where the woman reunited with her daughter and then they both died. right there is when i believe the movie was over tbh. literally had a beginning/motive/plot/and end within the opening scene! it was so much better than the movie itself!
I liked the movie over all, but the whole daughter story line should've been cut down some, or preferably never happened. I guess they did it to add more emotion, but it wasn't needed. More heist, zombie killing, jokes, whatever. I really wish Tig was actually in movie. Had been there from the beginning and had more screen time. I really like her.
Snyder really needs someone in the room, especially the editing room that tells him no. for me it comes over as arrogance his last two movies. the justice league he remade, was waay too long and so many extra scenes that should have been cut. the same with this movie, like you said, with the whole daughter storyline. I thought I always wanted a longer movie, but because of Snyder know i really understand the "kill your darlings" lesson I learned in filmschool.
Tell me about it!!!! I lost another 3 hours of my life trying to understand it - ultimately I came up with this. The whole movie was meant to be a timeloop from the beginning, Snyder just got wiff they wanted a second movie and he might have removed some things from when it went to theatre to streaming so that it got green lit. Theres too many signs. Like the Zeus having the same haircut and dog tags as Vandor, also when they first open the safe theres already 3 guns in there.. the story is pretty much we build the zombies with alien technology. They are slowly changing from the inside to robots by Nanotech, america was on the way to sell the bioweapon when the incident happened and started the apocalypse. Within creating a hell that connects the alternate timelines where they keep dying in a loop where each one is slightly different than the other. To start and end the loop all that is needed is for the Vandor(omega) to be put in the safe every single time they are being over taken by zombies in the basement.
I did enjoy the movie and I am looking forward to seeing the universe expanded. That being said, this movie has the biggest plot hole I have ever seen in a movie. So the casino guy wants the crew to go after some money in a vault in the basement of a casino before a nuke drops. Think about that for a minute. Where would you go in the event of a nuclear bomb drop? In a bunker underground of course. The money is in a freaking bomb shelter underground and the casino boss wants you to go grab it before the bombs drop? The money is going to survive the nuke. You could just wait until after the bomb drops, take a generator to power the safe, connect to the power taps of the building that would be on the surface after the bomb, don a radiation suit and stroll down to get the money. The crew should have known that they were being played from the get-go. Ask yourself, what is going to disappear when the nuke drops if it isn't the money? All the zeds of course. It was so obvious that the casino boss was in cahoots with the military to get a zombie since they had lost their guy. I figured this out in the initial meeting when they were talking about it. They really should have figured this out, being ex-military. If the military wanted their alpha so bad, they could have taken a chopper with a net gun on a line, shot one of the alphas with the net and hauled it up to the helicopter, and just fly off with it. They could have grabbed a couple that way. There is simply no way they would risk doing an op like going into Vegas on the ground to retrieve a zed head since the chance of failure was too high. If a ground op was the way to go, they would have sent in a seal team, called the alpha queen, captured her, and got out. End of story. However, the helicopter route would be the way to go, as they could fly off to area 51 and be done with it all. Again, I enjoyed the movie, but the whole premise was complete nonsense. It was so ridiculous from the start, and the fact that these military folks didn't see it is a bit beyond belief in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the franchise goes.
Having come out only a week later, the stripped down proficiency of A Quiet Place pt2 is highlighted even more compared to the bloated indulgence of Army of the Dead. Also I just found it really boring.
Man I dont think a film has annoyed me this much for a while. Most of what they were going for in terms of story never paid off. The romance that they stuffed in there was a punch outta nowhere. And Omari's character doesnt even get to use the goddamn chainsaw. Theres was a lot of interesting ideas that never set off and if they were going for loss in the film, there was never any emphasis on that theme.
I highly recommend South Korean Netflix originals "Sweet Home" - 10 episodes and "Kingdom" -2 seasons 6 episodes each :) pretty fast to watch but there's so much to unfold its actually crazy
Honestly shocked that you remembered so much of this film, because I was forgetting it as it was running, which is the most surprising thing about it. Personally not a Snyder fan, but watched it with a friend who is, and neither of us really liked it...
I thought it was great, but I hated the focus. Maybe if he only did the nightmare focus when they were outside it would be better. Also like why did he need to hire people to get money from the vault then secretly get the head of a zombie. Like just hire people to get the head
@@rulthlessrudy but the two people that got the head weren’t there for the money. One of them even knew it was a fake out. And they got the head from the same spot they came in. And the other of the two that got the head knew how to get out without a helicopter, and had done so hundreds of times. The didn’t need the others, like, at all?
I was so excited to watch this movie! The premise seemed exciting! Buuuuuut after finishing it, I felt that it was a complete waste of 2&1/2 hours. First movie I downvoted in a while on Netflix.
Just know the guy who thought the mission was too dangerous probably died. Tanaka seems like the type of person who would kill you for being a potential witness even when it's clear that you didn't see anything.
Agreed. I don’t understand the hype around Snyder. Dawn of the Dead and Man of Steel were the only two films of his that I didn’t audibly sigh while watching.
3:25 yeah, that’s a dumb plan. They can’t control the zombies. Venture Bros even went into this and they now have their own nation with a representative.
Really loved your breakdown on this one. I might be the only person craving deep story/social commentary from a zombie apocalypse (nothing's topped Night of the Living Dead imo but i still enjoy Snyder's Dawn & the 28 series). Justice for Guz and Chambers btw. Also hope Vanderohe becomes zombie saw-Blade instead of another Alpha. Peace & love.
Fun fact: I actually work at the place where they shot the interior casino scenes, which is the Showboat in Atlantic City which at the time of filming had a large unused casino floor (Showboat closed as a casino in 2014 and reopened as a hotel in 2016, eventually turning the casino floor into a large arcade and indoor go kart track along with a massive indoor water park)
If this story does involve a time loop, I'm only going to watch the sequel if Vandorohe, D, and Chambers are alive and well. They were my only reasons for holding on with this movie.
He’s such a massively passionate filmmaker though. I’ll always have massive massive respect for this man. He absolutely admires his visual effects people
Ugh this movie was soo annoying. Nobody behaves with sense. Everyone acts so illogically to an extreme. Okay let me run this down. The four horsemen part pissed me off. One. A convoy would always have two vehicles in front of the package, one of those with a gunner in the hatch. Especially for an important package like that. Two. The package, the zombie alpha wouldn't just be in a container with some straps holding it down. It'd be in a container inside another container, like a nesting doll of containers. Most like with some failsafe explosives. Three. My basic unimportant squad in Iraq had radios with ear pieces. A squad transporting a important package like that would have radios. Also they would have been briefed on what to do if the package container was opened. Not just walk up to the open container all curious. Not to mention they would most likely have air support. Again especially for an important package like that. Lastly. The truck carrying the package wouldn't go up in flames cause it was crashed into by an old convertible. I've seen those trucks get hit with several ton bombs hidden under the road. That car would not have done that. Also Area 51 is at least 90 miles from the Vegas strip. Ignore the fact that the city surrounds the strip. Area 51 is soo remote they fly everyone and everything into and out of Vegas. Basically they could have come up with a better way for the alpha to get loose in Vegas. That said fuck Kate, Batista character tells her. You help get us in and I'll give you millions of dollars. The kids mother goes missing. Instead of being like okay I'll stay here look after these kids. If her dad and his team can't find the kids mother. Kate would have millions of dollars to take care of the kids. Kate instead demands that she leave the kids alone without a parent or the friendly lady they know. So she can go with her dad on this suicide mission. In the end the kids are what? Killed by the nuke? Orphans now lost in system? Their mother is definitely dead and Kate can't do shit for them. And had she not gone in at least her dad would have maybe made it out cause he wouldn't have diverted to go save her. All cause Kate couldn't think. When Chambers jumped into the hallway after Martin made her get lost. The team was close enough to help her. Her boy Mikey was close enough to stand there, watch her get surrounded, shoot her fuel container. But apparently he and everyone else couldn't shoot any of the zombies around her? If they weren't close enough to help her they were close enough for Chambers to yell don't trust Martin he did this on purpose he locked the door to trap me. They didn't trust Martin from the beginning. All they needed from him was the key cards. As soon as they get to the vault after Chambers died they could have killed Martin, took the key cards. If they made it out they just call the Asia guy and say hey your man didn't make it out. Then they learn they have like an hour to get into the safe, get the money, get to the roof and get out of town. Are they rushing around? Nope they continue bullshitting around, playing with the money, having long heart felt conversations as if the town isn't about to be nuked. Why did the Lily help Martin? Why did she trust him? Once he killed the zombie queen and they regrouped why didn't she just go hey guys Martin killed the zombie queen, has her head in that bag, the alpha and his zombie army are surly headed this way time now? She would have had a ton of money to change her life and forget her past. What did she need from Martin? How did Omari make it out of the vault? How did he get bit? We watched the fight. As he was about to be bitten the German hit the alpha? How did he have zero radiation sickness? It was a low grade nuclear bomb. That whole area would have been dusted with radiation he would have been vomiting and ect from radiation sickness. I can suspend my disbelief for a time to enjoy a movie but when shit is this illogical I just can't.
To add, they also shamelessly ripped off a bunch of movies that are far superior. Ocean's 11 aside since that was the whole point. -Aliens (From the traitor corporate guy trying to get back a sample, to the "You don't see them screwing each other over" line, to the scene where they think the helicopter left them) -I Am Legend (The zombies actually still have human emotions and the leader one cares about his wife so he wants to get her back/avenge her) -The Revenant (Zombie Tiger was just there to recreate that scene) -Indiana Jones (WHO booby traps a casino vault?) -Predator ("It's a monster and I'm just a buff dude but screw it we're going mano y mano!") -Riddick (Zombies that come back to life when it rains. Never used, idek why they lifted the idea) -BVS (Bulletproof batman cowl. Wtf was that thing made of?)
I'm not sure what exactly was visionary in this movie. Maybe the plot holes were visionary. The entire premise of the film is the dumbest thing I've seen in a movie over the last decade. A rich guy sends them to take the his money out of HIS vault, but they have to crack it. Why?! Also, if his intentions were to get the zombie queen head, why not say so from the beginning? It's not like they would refuse if they got paid and it's not like this was inherently an awful thing that he needed to keep secret. Also, Zack, no fly zone covers both situations: getting in or OUT with a helicopter. Anyway, there are probably dozens of things that don't make any sense or aren't explained at all in the movie.
Tbh nobody could've died if Tanaka gave the the combination and they'd spare some bullets to save the badass woman. The friggin daughter wouldn't even have time to sneak off
Or they could of at least waited to take the queens head until the safe was cracked and chopper was read. But nah, we still got an hour before things are ready so let’s sound a huge alarm to the alpha zombies without having secured a way out.
They didn't need Tanaka's boy for anything... the Coyote got them into Vegas and Tanaka told them the entire plan before they left. He didn't even tell them about the "non-lethal" deterrents... I said it when I watched, I would've killed Tanaka's boy as soon as we got there and told Tanaka the zombies got him if he asked...
2:43 dude for real. Also when I saw this scene I was like homegirl Win's character could just tell the group that the guy in the glasses is going to betray them.
Fun Fact the Knightmare Justice League scene looks similar to army of the dead cause it was shot with the same lens. Since the Knightmare sequence and the Martian Manhunter scenes were the few scenes that was shot a few months before release,snyder didn't have a normal lens with him and WB wouldn't provide him with any nor a set to shoot the scenes in. So he shot it in his Garage with the lens he had with him for Army. In fact Amber Heard's Water tanks in that scene are just repurposed Fuel tanks from this movie that the group carries.
Dawn of the Dead Zac Snyder version is one of the best zombie movies/action movies hands down. I know this movie by heart. I have seen the original, and I appreciate it, but Zac killed it. I wish more people talked about it..... also LME can you do a episode on the movie Funny Games, the remake.... its such a dope and underrated movie, just saying.. Oh yeah, you should watch a movie called Coherence and Mandela Effect.... some dope sleeper movies
The dead pixels made me so fucking nervous, because I watched it on my new TV! But surprisingly enjoyed the movie. Wished they had gone just a little more balls to the wall with it.
Most of the kills felt very PG-13 imo. Lots of bloodless head shots. There were awesomely gorey moments but why weren't there more. Zombie fioms usually have fun moments tgat extremely gorey. Zack Snyder had creative control amd this was the best he can do?
the problem with Zack Synder is that he loves being both the SOLE writer and director--one of these things being something he notoriously needs help with LOL. I mean, he's not the worst in the world, but if he really wanted to he could hire a ghost writer to fix his mistakes and still have his name being the only name as a writer...
They over-used the tight focus / blurryness, I guess that it was used to build suspense in places but it was massively over used to reduce the cost of scenery, set design, green screen and CGI. I didn't like it, it felt kinda cheap, but it didn't spoil the movie.
@@chrissmith-zl3ob why take him to wherever for a "whatever" if you can get that "whatever" to Area 51? How hard is it to chop of his head right there and then? Nothing makes sense about that transport. For instance, why inform dispatch (that lady on the phone the soldiers called) about the content of the transport but not the soldiers who transport it?
Honestly, the only thing I liked in the movie was dieter(mainly him), the pilot, the coyote and chlembers (I think that was her name) (Also, it's not the first time Mathias, the actor who made dieter, was the actor and the director from a movie. He directed the TV show called "you are wante" and was the main protagonist in it, also made der nanny, schlussmacher and vaterfreuden, all of them in with he is a character)
I just saw this movie. Here are my thoughts: it was way less serious and deep than I expected. The plot was very predictable, the majority of characters were poorly written, some of them just very annoying but the action scenes were okay. It's certainly far from being a match to Train To Busan (2016). Actually, even World War Z is better. I don't think it'll succeed as a franchise the way Resident Evil did.

The movie for me was mediocre at best. The premise was good enough but there are so many convenient bs happening at all times, dumb decisions, and overall pretty bad characters that it made me want to stop watching. Just to name a few :
- the Alpha being faster than the helicopter at the end (I mean come on, they didn't even try),
- the time constraint that is irrelevant: "20 minutes left? We got time to do everything lmao" ;
- the bad guy is dumb af ;
- the first death was fucking stupid and preventable or could have been improved in so many ways (plot-wise);
- the last guy who took 2 years to turn after being bitten...
- The cast having god aim for regular zombies but can't do shit against the Alpha (bullet-proof helmet my ass)
I understand most of these, and agree with them for the most part but the one that I don’t was the guy who got bit that didn’t turn immediately. If we take into account the idea of the timeloop idea then it means we are seeing an alternate timeline and not the original one. This is heavily implied by the fact that the bite he has is nowhere near the spot Zeus bit him.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT i don't think it's the time loop thing mate. I just think it's an inconsistency in the plot. If it is an alternate time-line, it still took him ages to turn, you can compare it to the main guy and the shitty cop.
@@badnews3339 well it might have to do with radiation but hey the sequel will eventually come so well get answers then.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT I most definitely won't watch it. Feel free to update me whenever you see it haha
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT When you have to reach that far, thats called lazy writing.
first time watching, i just watched the opening scene about the where the woman reunited with her daughter and then they both died. right there is when i believe the movie was over tbh. literally had a beginning/motive/plot/and end within the opening scene! it was so much better than the movie itself!
this was movie was fucking frustrating to watch, so many characters had to lose all their brain cells to get people killed
I liked the movie over all, but the whole daughter story line should've been cut down some, or preferably never happened. I guess they did it to add more emotion, but it wasn't needed. More heist, zombie killing, jokes, whatever. I really wish Tig was actually in movie. Had been there from the beginning and had more screen time. I really like her.
Snyder really needs someone in the room, especially the editing room that tells him no. for me it comes over as arrogance his last two movies. the justice league he remade, was waay too long and so many extra scenes that should have been cut. the same with this movie, like you said, with the whole daughter storyline. I thought I always wanted a longer movie, but because of Snyder know i really understand the "kill your darlings" lesson I learned in filmschool.
She's the only reason I watched. I hope she's in the prequel
@@1995pieter Didn't remake it bud
Well Zach does have daughter issues, man really wants to reconnect with her more somehow but it aint really working or translating well at all.
Out of the many Army of the Dead RUclips videos i have seen, no one brings up the robot zombies from the Casino scene in the end.
Yesss!!! I was so confused about that part!!
there is no point. No one knows what the fuck was that about :)
I hate no one mentions the 300 reference with Zeus technically being Leonidas and his Army of zombies being close to 300
This “movie” could have been a cool VIDEOGAME
I was reading some theories about time loops and all that and I swear i went insane trying to understand it
And I have heard the zombies are cyborgs
Tell me about it!!!! I lost another 3 hours of my life trying to understand it - ultimately I came up with this. The whole movie was meant to be a timeloop from the beginning, Snyder just got wiff they wanted a second movie and he might have removed some things from when it went to theatre to streaming so that it got green lit. Theres too many signs. Like the Zeus having the same haircut and dog tags as Vandor, also when they first open the safe theres already 3 guns in there.. the story is pretty much we build the zombies with alien technology. They are slowly changing from the inside to robots by Nanotech, america was on the way to sell the bioweapon when the incident happened and started the apocalypse. Within creating a hell that connects the alternate timelines where they keep dying in a loop where each one is slightly different than the other. To start and end the loop all that is needed is for the Vandor(omega) to be put in the safe every single time they are being over taken by zombies in the basement.
@@REMAINS1666 they shoot a zombie's face and he's robotic underneath yeah

Batistas daughter was in a helicopter crash and thrown from the wreckage and only had a slight limp! Shes a super soldier
I was thinking the same thing!!
Me and my husband watched this last night.
And
When it was over we looked at each other and i confirmed that we'd just wasted our time. 😅🤣
Best review.
I looked up bad reviews after 15 minutes while not watching it.
Yea it most certainly was a waste of time. It was hard to watch
Same exact thing happened with me and my brother
I got so pissed cause of the anti climatic endings but the only good part is the german dude
I just can't get past the implied zombie sex & the queen being pregnant. How the fuck does that work? 0.o
Cyborg Zombie
3D printing?
XD
the zombies are a product of splicing alien and human DNA to create super soldiers
This movie was kinda disappointing ngl. At least Snyder delivered on direction and visuals tho. Also great performance by Bautista
cant really say visuals when half the movie was not focused :/
How was it disappointing
@@kayaydayslie1666 it has more plotholes than zombies.
10:53 I’m voting for the alien theory and possibly the time loop.
Honestly, this movie being like mob of the dead would be awesome
I did enjoy the movie and I am looking forward to seeing the universe expanded. That being said, this movie has the biggest plot hole I have ever seen in a movie. So the casino guy wants the crew to go after some money in a vault in the basement of a casino before a nuke drops. Think about that for a minute. Where would you go in the event of a nuclear bomb drop? In a bunker underground of course. The money is in a freaking bomb shelter underground and the casino boss wants you to go grab it before the bombs drop? The money is going to survive the nuke.
You could just wait until after the bomb drops, take a generator to power the safe, connect to the power taps of the building that would be on the surface after the bomb, don a radiation suit and stroll down to get the money. The crew should have known that they were being played from the get-go. Ask yourself, what is going to disappear when the nuke drops if it isn't the money? All the zeds of course. It was so obvious that the casino boss was in cahoots with the military to get a zombie since they had lost their guy. I figured this out in the initial meeting when they were talking about it. They really should have figured this out, being ex-military.
If the military wanted their alpha so bad, they could have taken a chopper with a net gun on a line, shot one of the alphas with the net and hauled it up to the helicopter, and just fly off with it. They could have grabbed a couple that way. There is simply no way they would risk doing an op like going into Vegas on the ground to retrieve a zed head since the chance of failure was too high. If a ground op was the way to go, they would have sent in a seal team, called the alpha queen, captured her, and got out. End of story. However, the helicopter route would be the way to go, as they could fly off to area 51 and be done with it all.
Again, I enjoyed the movie, but the whole premise was complete nonsense. It was so ridiculous from the start, and the fact that these military folks didn't see it is a bit beyond belief in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the franchise goes.
Having come out only a week later, the stripped down proficiency of A Quiet Place pt2 is highlighted even more compared to the bloated indulgence of Army of the Dead.
Also I just found it really boring.
Man I dont think a film has annoyed me this much for a while. Most of what they were going for in terms of story never paid off. The romance that they stuffed in there was a punch outta nowhere.
And Omari's character doesnt even get to use the goddamn chainsaw.
Theres was a lot of interesting ideas that never set off and if they were going for loss in the film, there was never any emphasis on that theme.
When it rains they come back to life....
OKAY THANK GOODNESS YOU DID THIS BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED THAT MOVIE AND IVE NEVER BEEN SO CONFUSED
Saaaame
You must be a leaning tower of intellect to be confused by this dreck.
Try tenet 🤯
2 znyder films in a year , that might just be too much Snyder to handle.
I highly recommend South Korean Netflix originals "Sweet Home" - 10 episodes and "Kingdom" -2 seasons 6 episodes each :)
pretty fast to watch but there's so much to unfold its actually crazy
those were so amazing. i would recommend it to anyone
I second this ! Amazing shows !
"Didn't y'all pay taxes when y'all came in?" 😂
I love LME's videos! They brighten up my day! 🤣
It's like a first draft with plotholes left to be refilled in planned sequels with no guaranteeing. 😑
"sadly this is the most neck bautista gets" had me floored
Bro the amount of sad music moments that happened right before and after her neck snapped just had me laughing
Honestly shocked that you remembered so much of this film, because I was forgetting it as it was running, which is the most surprising thing about it. Personally not a Snyder fan, but watched it with a friend who is, and neither of us really liked it...
Little note: Matthias Schweighöfer already directed a movie wich he also starred in
Not to mention how everybody who speaks german knows his name xd
I thought it was great, but I hated the focus. Maybe if he only did the nightmare focus when they were outside it would be better. Also like why did he need to hire people to get money from the vault then secretly get the head of a zombie. Like just hire people to get the head
It’s a better motivation for people.
@@rulthlessrudy but the two people that got the head weren’t there for the money. One of them even knew it was a fake out. And they got the head from the same spot they came in. And the other of the two that got the head knew how to get out without a helicopter, and had done so hundreds of times. The didn’t need the others, like, at all?
@@lovejoy1311 and they said that the 500 mil or whatever was noting compared to the head so he could just pay the people that much if it is a problem
This is the six Army of the Dead takedown I’ve watched on RUclips and every one including this one has gave me more enjoyment than the actual film.
I was so excited to watch this movie! The premise seemed exciting!
Buuuuuut after finishing it, I felt that it was a complete waste of 2&1/2 hours. First movie I downvoted in a while on Netflix.
Just know the guy who thought the mission was too dangerous probably died. Tanaka seems like the type of person who would kill you for being a potential witness even when it's clear that you didn't see anything.
When Maria got her neck snapped I laughed so hard😂😂
Just like all Snyder movies, it was just ok
Speak for yourself
Agreed. I don’t understand the hype around Snyder. Dawn of the Dead and Man of Steel were the only two films of his that I didn’t audibly sigh while watching.
3:25 yeah, that’s a dumb plan. They can’t control the zombies. Venture Bros even went into this and they now have their own nation with a representative.
You forgot about the robot zombies(cyborgs) in the movie.
11:46 yup, of course, this got cut in the early stages I think. But it is odd that this keeps popping up.
The line " some minor issues" at delia was gold. Bravo
“the most neck bautista gets” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 DIRTYYYYYY
I don’t understand but the words alone...
XD
5:25
I thought they had to take out 200mil and their cut was 50mil
it is, he didn't get that right (like many other things)
@@Luvandrockettes still better consistency than Snyder
Really loved your breakdown on this one. I might be the only person craving deep story/social commentary from a zombie apocalypse (nothing's topped Night of the Living Dead imo but i still enjoy Snyder's Dawn & the 28 series). Justice for Guz and Chambers btw. Also hope Vanderohe becomes zombie saw-Blade instead of another Alpha. Peace & love.
Fun fact: I actually work at the place where they shot the interior casino scenes, which is the Showboat in Atlantic City which at the time of filming had a large unused casino floor (Showboat closed as a casino in 2014 and reopened as a hotel in 2016, eventually turning the casino floor into a large arcade and indoor go kart track along with a massive indoor water park)
Dude the shit cgi at the very end when he shot the zombie in the head was so funny to me
Zack Snyder is the yellow mustard of cinema.
If this story does involve a time loop, I'm only going to watch the sequel if Vandorohe, D, and Chambers are alive and well. They were my only reasons for holding on with this movie.
I was Really looking foreword to those rain zombies too. This movie was not worth it.
I was waiting for this 👹

He’s such a massively passionate filmmaker though. I’ll always have massive massive respect for this man. He absolutely admires his visual effects people
Ugh this movie was soo annoying.
Nobody behaves with sense. Everyone acts so illogically to an extreme. Okay let me run this down.
The four horsemen part pissed me off. One. A convoy would always have two vehicles in front of the package, one of those with a gunner in the hatch. Especially for an important package like that. Two. The package, the zombie alpha wouldn't just be in a container with some straps holding it down. It'd be in a container inside another container, like a nesting doll of containers. Most like with some failsafe explosives. Three. My basic unimportant squad in Iraq had radios with ear pieces. A squad transporting a important package like that would have radios. Also they would have been briefed on what to do if the package container was opened. Not just walk up to the open container all curious. Not to mention they would most likely have air support. Again especially for an important package like that. Lastly. The truck carrying the package wouldn't go up in flames cause it was crashed into by an old convertible. I've seen those trucks get hit with several ton bombs hidden under the road. That car would not have done that. Also Area 51 is at least 90 miles from the Vegas strip. Ignore the fact that the city surrounds the strip. Area 51 is soo remote they fly everyone and everything into and out of Vegas. Basically they could have come up with a better way for the alpha to get loose in Vegas.
That said fuck Kate, Batista character tells her. You help get us in and I'll give you millions of dollars. The kids mother goes missing. Instead of being like okay I'll stay here look after these kids. If her dad and his team can't find the kids mother. Kate would have millions of dollars to take care of the kids. Kate instead demands that she leave the kids alone without a parent or the friendly lady they know. So she can go with her dad on this suicide mission. In the end the kids are what? Killed by the nuke? Orphans now lost in system? Their mother is definitely dead and Kate can't do shit for them. And had she not gone in at least her dad would have maybe made it out cause he wouldn't have diverted to go save her. All cause Kate couldn't think.
When Chambers jumped into the hallway after Martin made her get lost. The team was close enough to help her. Her boy Mikey was close enough to stand there, watch her get surrounded, shoot her fuel container. But apparently he and everyone else couldn't shoot any of the zombies around her? If they weren't close enough to help her they were close enough for Chambers to yell don't trust Martin he did this on purpose he locked the door to trap me.
They didn't trust Martin from the beginning. All they needed from him was the key cards. As soon as they get to the vault after Chambers died they could have killed Martin, took the key cards. If they made it out they just call the Asia guy and say hey your man didn't make it out.
Then they learn they have like an hour to get into the safe, get the money, get to the roof and get out of town. Are they rushing around? Nope they continue bullshitting around, playing with the money, having long heart felt conversations as if the town isn't about to be nuked.
Why did the Lily help Martin? Why did she trust him? Once he killed the zombie queen and they regrouped why didn't she just go hey guys Martin killed the zombie queen, has her head in that bag, the alpha and his zombie army are surly headed this way time now? She would have had a ton of money to change her life and forget her past. What did she need from Martin?
How did Omari make it out of the vault? How did he get bit? We watched the fight. As he was about to be bitten the German hit the alpha? How did he have zero radiation sickness? It was a low grade nuclear bomb. That whole area would have been dusted with radiation he would have been vomiting and ect from radiation sickness.
I can suspend my disbelief for a time to enjoy a movie but when shit is this illogical I just can't.
To add, they also shamelessly ripped off a bunch of movies that are far superior. Ocean's 11 aside since that was the whole point.
-Aliens (From the traitor corporate guy trying to get back a sample, to the "You don't see them screwing each other over" line, to the scene where they think the helicopter left them)
-I Am Legend (The zombies actually still have human emotions and the leader one cares about his wife so he wants to get her back/avenge her)
-The Revenant (Zombie Tiger was just there to recreate that scene)
-Indiana Jones (WHO booby traps a casino vault?)
-Predator ("It's a monster and I'm just a buff dude but screw it we're going mano y mano!")
-Riddick (Zombies that come back to life when it rains. Never used, idek why they lifted the idea)
-BVS (Bulletproof batman cowl. Wtf was that thing made of?)
Just one more, why do people take so long to zombify only when it's convenient (re: the guy who climbed out of the vault and made it to the plane).
I hope that the simulation they were talking about is part of this franchise.

OK, so I wasn't the only one who saw the dead pixels. I thought my TV was going bad
Explain how Bautista didn't ask the *owner* of the vault how to open the vault? Instead of going through all the trouble to "crack" the vault!
I’m glad you know Atlantic City is a zombie town. I watched that place die. I left it and it rose to groan from behind me.
I'm not sure what exactly was visionary in this movie. Maybe the plot holes were visionary. The entire premise of the film is the dumbest thing I've seen in a movie over the last decade. A rich guy sends them to take the his money out of HIS vault, but they have to crack it. Why?! Also, if his intentions were to get the zombie queen head, why not say so from the beginning? It's not like they would refuse if they got paid and it's not like this was inherently an awful thing that he needed to keep secret. Also, Zack, no fly zone covers both situations: getting in or OUT with a helicopter. Anyway, there are probably dozens of things that don't make any sense or aren't explained at all in the movie.
You should watch Peninsula ; zombie heist movie with car races but make it fun
I had no idea Jay Olivia was gonna be involved, i just binged all of the dcau so that makes me a liiiitle more excited
Arturo's absolutely BRUTAL with these jokes
Tbh nobody could've died if Tanaka gave the the combination and they'd spare some bullets to save the badass woman. The friggin daughter wouldn't even have time to sneak off
Or they could of at least waited to take the queens head until the safe was cracked and chopper was read. But nah, we still got an hour before things are ready so let’s sound a huge alarm to the alpha zombies without having secured a way out.
Did anyone else notice the terminator robot zombie near then end when the last few survivors were escaping?
They didn't need Tanaka's boy for anything... the Coyote got them into Vegas and Tanaka told them the entire plan before they left. He didn't even tell them about the "non-lethal" deterrents...
I said it when I watched, I would've killed Tanaka's boy as soon as we got there and told Tanaka the zombies got him if he asked...
I noticed some bad effects in the character swap, but I never noticed she was completely green screened in.
yesss i’ve been waiting for this one!!
How does this guy not have 1M subs yet?

2:43 dude for real. Also when I saw this scene I was like homegirl Win's character could just tell the group that the guy in the glasses is going to betray them.
1:00 First mistake it is 200 Million, he is just allowed to keep 50 Million
Nice to hear from u again
Fun Fact the Knightmare Justice League scene looks similar to army of the dead cause it was shot with the same lens. Since the Knightmare sequence and the Martian Manhunter scenes were the few scenes that was shot a few months before release,snyder didn't have a normal lens with him and WB wouldn't provide him with any nor a set to shoot the scenes in. So he shot it in his Garage with the lens he had with him for Army. In fact Amber Heard's Water tanks in that scene are just repurposed Fuel tanks from this movie that the group carries.
It was a terrible movie........
Dawn of the Dead Zac Snyder version is one of the best zombie movies/action movies hands down. I know this movie by heart. I have seen the original, and I appreciate it, but Zac killed it. I wish more people talked about it..... also LME can you do a episode on the movie Funny Games, the remake.... its such a dope and underrated movie, just saying.. Oh yeah, you should watch a movie called Coherence and Mandela Effect.... some dope sleeper movies
The dead pixels made me so fucking nervous, because I watched it on my new TV! But surprisingly enjoyed the movie. Wished they had gone just a little more balls to the wall with it.
Most of the kills felt very PG-13 imo. Lots of bloodless head shots. There were awesomely gorey moments but why weren't there more. Zombie fioms usually have fun moments tgat extremely gorey. Zack Snyder had creative control amd this was the best he can do?
the problem with Zack Synder is that he loves being both the SOLE writer and director--one of these things being something he notoriously needs help with LOL. I mean, he's not the worst in the world, but if he really wanted to he could hire a ghost writer to fix his mistakes and still have his name being the only name as a writer...
Just say you hate men...
@@Saisem3 I can't because I don't. Zach just doesn't know how to edit a script 😂
This would've been one helluva videogame though.
They over-used the tight focus / blurryness, I guess that it was used to build suspense in places but it was massively over used to reduce the cost of scenery, set design, green screen and CGI. I didn't like it, it felt kinda cheap, but it didn't spoil the movie.
Chuck green -> scott
Katie -> kate
Fortune city -> Las Vegas
Yall see the resemblence this movie has from dead rising 🤔
Also explain how the military only thought of getting a sample/blood from an Alpha zombie *after* they had one all that time in Area 51??
Probably tried to take him to another place and fucked up like most zombie films.
@@chrissmith-zl3ob why take him to wherever for a "whatever" if you can get that "whatever" to Area 51? How hard is it to chop of his head right there and then? Nothing makes sense about that transport. For instance, why inform dispatch (that lady on the phone the soldiers called) about the content of the transport but not the soldiers who transport it?
Honestly, the only thing I liked in the movie was dieter(mainly him), the pilot, the coyote and chlembers (I think that was her name)
(Also, it's not the first time Mathias, the actor who made dieter, was the actor and the director from a movie. He directed the TV show called "you are wante" and was the main protagonist in it, also made der nanny, schlussmacher and vaterfreuden, all of them in with he is a character)
The daughter risked her life for her Friend Geeta and once the chopper crashed she behaved like Geeta didn't exist!
I just saw this movie. Here are my thoughts: it was way less serious and deep than I expected. The plot was very predictable, the majority of characters were poorly written, some of them just very annoying but the action scenes were okay.
It's certainly far from being a match to Train To Busan (2016). Actually, even World War Z is better. I don't think it'll succeed as a franchise the way Resident Evil did.
nice to see Snyder return to form
The light at the beginning might be referencing the publicized UFO video by the military last year
I really liked the movie. Wow! people need to relax and consume the movie for what it is, JESUS! Its a popcorn movie done right!
