Ok how do I start this…..this film is utter shite…..I don’t get the praise around Zack Snyder, nor will I ever get the hype around him……there’s only 2 movies of his I actually liked…..
Watchmen
Justice League Snyder Cut
Now I also think the major glaring problem with this film is that it’s directed by Zack Snyder, Co written by Zack Snyder, filmed by Zack Snyder…..broo…….Netflix, he isn’t that good…..see he’s definitely no good film maker in my opinion, he’s better at telling a story?…I put a question mark because after I saw this film, I’m questioning if he’s actually good at writing a script……someone needed to have proof read his script, because its a mess…..before u ask bow bad is the cinematography….well majority of the background alot of the times are blurry….because there out of frame…….oh joy…..and worse….there one scene where a guy is holding a zombie head right in front of him……yet the cinematography decides to blur the head our and focus on the person instead…….yeah because that makes so much sense……..do u see what I mean by I don’t think he’s a good cinematographer?…..
That’s it…..the rest of his work I’ve seen haven’t been good….such as Batman VS Superman……seriously people….have u already forgotten he made that film?….why are u praising Zack Snyder….as the perfect director….when he brought us Batman VS Superman….which BTW is a commonly hated DCEU film….amongst the majority of the fan base…..right I’m side tracking a little bit……what I am trying to say is, this film is bad……his world building he sets up makes no sense…..oh don’t worry I’ll both get into what he sets up in this film and what he said in interviews…that expand this universe he’s made…..the characters for majority of it….are forgettable (minus 2 characters)……the zombies are barley zombies….the run time is a bit to long for a zombie film….this film clocks in at a nearly 2 and a half hours…..that is overkill…..a normal zombie film is 90 min…….2 and a half hours is just a mess……also after all the zombie films and shows I’ve seen…..here’s the zombie films and shows I’ve seen

After all those, I just have to say one thing….I think the zombie genre needs to die off…..(pun fully intended)…..there’s just not much u can do with a bunch of half living but not living corpses who eat people……it kinda becomes a tiring concept at some point……anyways here’s the trailers to this film…….enjoy I guess…..
So lets get into this film…..besides got alot to talk about and critique….
• so we start off with, military trucks leaving area 51…..because? Sure why not….anyways if u look closely at the sky in this scene u can see 2 glowing balls and then those balls fly off…..umm umm….what?…did Zack Snyder just add aliens into this film?…..huhhh…..look im no expert on how to make a zombie film…..but I know it’s stupid to put aliens in ur zombie related film…..those are 2 things that don’t collide together well at all……anyways so then they drive off…..then we see a man and woman who just got married and get into a car…..which then I really regret saying this and wish I was kidding but she starts giving him a BJ……..if yall can’t figure out what I’m saying…..well then ur in the wrong review and ur watching the wrong film…
……so yeah…keep that scene in mind….because then we cut back to the military truck…..we see 2 men having a very ctingy, not so well acted badly scripted scene….I can’t describe it….all I can say It’s poorly scripted and acted……basically it goes something like this…..we’re driving away from area 51….so we could be carrying a cargo of u know……oh yeah hahahha…..wait I know what?……u know?…..no, idk……what…….u know, are 51……government…….just say it…….aliens, man…….
…..yes because this is how normal people talk….according to Zack Snyder……that or he really needed a way for this bozo to get distracted with his driving…because guess what remember that car where the wife is giving her husband a BJ…well both there car and the truck crash into each other which causes an explosion……..what did freaking Micheal Bay film this scene?……the hell?…..anyways……the remaining military trucks stop to go see if the container is in tact…..its kinda not….its a bit damaged….according to them……because to me the audience, I didn’t notice anything wrong with the crate…..there were no damages….but hey if the script says it’s damaged then I guess…it is damaged……
…..anyways they start to walk up to it….and one of the military people call up there base to call for help…the woman on the other side says copy that 4 horseman…..yes thats right she named her team the 4 horseman…….and get this….this whole situation causes the apocalypse…..get it!!…….also u shouldn’t name ur team the 4 horseman….thats just not a good name…..thats basically like calling ur team Sargent screw-up…….

……oh if that wasn’t bad enough….don’t worry it gets worse……because they tell her the crate been damaged and she says leave it now…..flee….and his response is …..huh?….what did u say?……

….I’m sorry what!?….what kinda reaction is that……flee now!…..huh? What?……hahahahaha…..I’m sorry this is already stupid….and we’re not even 15 min into this film yet…..oh and if that wasn’t stupid……remember how i said the car crashed into the truck……what made that stupid was the reason they crash…..the driver and co-driver didn’t even notice the bright light coming up towards them……just how!?…..all they did was have there heads sideways looking at each other….and would still notice the bright light!!….better yet why are they looking at each other while the driver is driving!?….this movie is stupid…….anyways the thanks to these bozos….the zombie gets out of the crate….and starts reeking havoc onto those military men. …..also for some reason the zombie is bullet proof in this scene?……I kid u not they shoot many bullets at him and it doesn’t do anything…….yet later he dies by one gun shot to the head……..the F***k……movie make up ur mind……anyways let’s skip a bit to get to the stupid stuff……so we for the next 30ish min get introduced to our main characters……
Scott Ward: Played by Dave Bautista
Kate Ward: Played by Ella Purnell
Geeta: played by Huma Quresha
Marianne Peters: played by Tig Notoro
Ludwig Dieter: played by Mathias Schweighöfer
Vandehore: played by Omari Hardwick
Bly Tanaka: played by Hiroyuki Sanada
Martin: played by Garret Dillahunt
Burt Cummings: played by Theo Rossi
Chambers: played by Samantha Win
Mikey Guzman: played by Raúl Castillo
Oh BTW before I forget, the opening titles suck…..idk why people are saying it’s so amazing…..I mean I’ll admit it….it looks good visually….but the glaring problem is its accompanied by some bad music…..to be specific….viva Las Vegas……God dammit I hate this song….its not Catchy…..it’s just annoying……I’ll admit the visuals in the opening credits were good….but the song…..I never want to hear that again in my life…..because it plays 2wice in this film….thats one to many…..in my opinion….anyways let’s skim over our main characters……the rich guy Tanaka and his guard Martin enter a burger joint….where Scott is working at……now before u ask how does a military guy like Scott end up working in a joint like this making minimum wage….answer to that is….the script says so……so deal with it….
……anyways he tells him that’s Vegas is getting bombed in 3 days with a nuke and he wants Scott to go inside Vegas to retrieve 250 million dollars from a safe……thats his….and in return he can keep 50 million to split amongst himself and his crew he will have to make…….keep this plan in mind….anyways one of the people Scott goes to is a long time friend of his who’s a woman…..they apparently had a thing between each other…..I don’t care…..then they go see there friend Peters…..she’s working at a military base….she’s a pilot……ok trivia time…..Tig Notoro didn’t originally play this character….it was a different actor…..a male actor…..but he was convicted of sexual harassment……so he was taken out of the film digitally….and replaced with Tig Notoro…..BTW all her scenes where recorded separately….and not with any of the cast…thats right she never once interacts with the cast……I’m impressed…I mean look at this scene and try telling me that’s not impressive
Anyways……just wow……..so Netflix can put enough money into making a cgi in Tig Notoro look realistic….but Warner Brothers can’t do the same for cgi out a mustache on Henry Cavil?………sure whatever ….anyways to not make this review any longer….I’m just gonna go through the problems I have with the film…..in doing so ill describe some of the events in those programs……so here’s the complaints
1. We find out later that Tanaka wanted one of the alphas zombies heads to bring back and he could use to make an army of zombies……soooooo why didn’t be hire these people to do that for him instead of wasting there time making them go to his vault ?……I mean when they get there to the entrance of Los Vegas……one of the alphas come out there …..so they could have killed her there and decapitated her and take her head and leave….then they would have not died and stayed alive……….this films plot was pointless and could have been avoided….but I forget….apparently I keep forgetting….we need plot for film to continue…..whatever I guess….
….
Side note…… so early in the film one of the female characters they bring along…who is disposable basically…gets killed off…wanna know how…well there’s this one scene where the film rips off of alien 2…because at this point why not and originality is dead……which should be Hollywood motto……anyways so the scene they’re ripping off is of them quietly sneaking around standing sleeping zombies in a dark room….right because zombies are so well know for sleeping…….F***k u Snyder….anyways so near the end…of course Martin or as I call douchebag…..leaves disposable woman behind to die….by get this locking the door on her while she gets attacked by zombies…oh don’t worry he goes to the rest of the group and tells them she got left behind but not so long after that she breaks through the glass and there zombies slowly walking up to her whiles she’s shooting them…and get this has enough time and room to run away but doesn’t…oh and no one starts shooting the zombies they just stand there and say she’s gone…..
…while her friend just stands there saying noooo….she’s my friend…nooo….plz…nooo…nooo….hey idiot how about idk shooting the zombies to help ur friend instead of standing there like a moron and do nothing while watching ur friend die……oh and do u know what…she’s also an idiot…she doesn’t even say oh BTW Martin is a traitor …he locked the door on me…nah instead she lays there silently….and let’s a bomb on her chest explode……..
…..at this point for all I care all our main characters are idiots and don’t deserve to make it through this film……
Second side note…. so we see a small glimpse…. a blink and u will miss it moment but when we get w scene of our main characters gunning down zombies we see a glimpse of one of the zombies on the ground and it has a robotic skeleton…….uhhhhhhh….yeah this requires some explaining…..so Zack Snyder said in an interview that in this world the military tried cresting there own zombies by making robots that look like zombies……..uhhhh huhhhh….because why not….at this point let’s just throw in all Sci-fi stuff into this film…oh right they did….because as stated earlier there’s a glimpse of ufo
in the sky…..so in this world her created there’s robot zombies the military created and there’s ufo…….so I now see where mixing 3 different genres together…zombies, robots and aliens…….seriously aliens….oh and also get this Zack said the aliens might be the cause of the zombie virus….of course why not…u know drill…when a writer looses any creativity they always bring aliens into the script…..aliens is basically the most easiest and laziest answer to anything in Hollywood…….it’d like…uh sir we don’t know what to do with this we don’t know how to explain this piece of phenomena….well idk…lets just say um idk…aliens did it…yeah let’s go with that….
……sighhhhhh
2. General whatever his name is later betrays our team and leaves them behind for dead while he runs away with the head ….and when he leaves he 2ws heading to the roof so he can get into the helicopter they had …but next scene he running outside to the front door…..huh…..how just how….how did he go from I’m going upstairs to nevermind I’m going downstairs instead…oh right because plot convenience that’s why……of course why didn’t I think of that before…pfff silly me….anyways so he bumps into zombie tiger…and he checks his bag…turns out it doesn’t have the zombie queens head in it……military woman somehow (don’t ask me how or why it’s even possible without anyone noticing)…but she swapped the head with a register……right…and I’m supposed to believe that he’d not feel that or see that happen…gotcha……bunch of BS…anyways zombie tiger starts bitting the douchebag dude and this scene takes a whole of a min and a half…dear freaking lord talk about overkill….what kinda zombie plays with its food?……
3. So our remaining heros get to the chopper…..(10 points to anyone who knows that reference
)…….and Zeus follows them….in what I could only describe as a discounted batman cosplay….suit…..I mean sure why not….if ur wondering what he’s wearing…well for u see he’s wearing a black cape and a metal mask around his eyes……..uhh huh…..ok then sure……these are not zombies….I couldn’t begin to explain what these are…but they sure as hell aren’t zombies….see zombies are rotting alive corpses that was people….but according to Zack Snyder….in this film…zombies have somehow managed to think for themselves…have a leader…oh yeah be able to ride horses
…..also reproduce……….oh and get this because if Zack Snyder wasn’t F’d up in the head ….he said in an interview… “in this world he created…male zombies find human women and rap them…. ( I ain’t saying the word so I am finding a reasonable solution)”…….yeah ok F***k it…those are not zombies…these are pale horny homeless people who can’t speak English……….also just no no sorry nope that’s all sorts of nope…..rap….seriously…Snyder?………thats not a subject that’s good at all….the fact that u acknowledge that is kinda messed up…….christ…so anyways…so Zeus…..follows film and the military woman decides to stay behind holding his wife’s head with a gun to her head…..basically telling him not to attack her friends…oh before I forget apparently according to Snyder..in this universe zombies can stitch up other zombies by putting there head on another body and it will reanimate them…….ummm Snyder I think ur confusing zombies for Frankenstein……get ur monsters correct……sighhh…anyways so Scott and Kate get into the chopper and Zeus throws a spear at the military woman…right because zombies
totally know how to throw weapons
……anyways and she tosses his wife’s head off the building which pisses…him off so he kills her…….oh if ur wondering where Dieter and
Vandehore are…well he’s in thr safe…..Dieter pushed him into there while zombies bite down on Dieter……aw man…oh well…….so Zues jumps into the helicopter….oh did I forget to mention that Kate finds her friend….yeah j may ha s forgot to mention she had a friend who was helping refugees….but she ended up in the city somehow I forget and didn’t come back so Kate wanted to join this rag tag group of idiots and her father….to receive her friend….if ur wondering why i didn’t bring this up earlier…well it’d because she’s forgettable and if I get side tracked any more we’re gonna be here forever and my brain wants to forget this film ASAP…….anyways so Zues jumps on and fights Scott….he get this shoots Zuess in the head…and that blows up Zues head…..right ok so now all a sudden bullets do something to Zues…because in the beginning when the military where shooting at him rapidly with machine guns it was doing nothing to him…and some of the bullets hit his head but his head didn’t explode…but now all a sudden a hand gun makes his head
explode…….continuity?….what’s that!?…..ughhhh…..anyways so the military come and nuke the city….hurray I don’t care…..and the helicopter crashes which kills Kate’s friend and Marianne Peters……and u guessed it Scott dies…but don’t worry he gets his final words in while Kate sits there crying ……ok im gonna go off the record and say I loathe this character…thanks to her she’s the reason this operation went south…if she didn’t run off and try to go save her friend….they would have been able to make it out In time and not try to go save her….but hey I guess her friend who may or may not be dead is more important then trying to make it out of the city which is gonna be nuked in 30 min….priorities aren’t I right?……ughhhh…awful character….once again due to her incompetence she lewd to her father and his team dying….sigh let’s move on before I start getting frustrated anyway so Scott turns into a zombie and she shoots him in the head…….then she walks off to somewhere…..ok got it do the moral of this film…u don’t need to be smart or try to avoid danger to survive in a zombie infested world….all u need to be is a complete idiot to survive……well that’s the moral I see that came out of this film because all the smart people in this film died and the idiot survived……finally over…oh no wait not over yet there’s an end credits scene…ughhhh…..so the end credit scene shows of Vandehore climbing out of thr ruble of the safe…..and how is it he survived a nuke……idk because the script says so…..it’s up there with the more stupidest sense of logic such as Indiana Jones surviving a nuke by jumping into a refrigerator……which launches it and him into the air and plumbing back down hard onto the ground…which realistically should have killed him…bur once again script says he doesn’t so……..right sorry for getting side tracked anyway do he gets up takes a bag or 2 of the money…walks for miles…finds a car rides it to an airport….asks for a private jet and he gets into it……as soon as he sits down and gets offered a drink…he starts feeling ill so he goes to the bathroom and sees that he got bit on his arm……..ok that’s it continuity has been officially thrown out the window here…firstly when did he get bitten?…last time we saw him he was getting beaten up by Zeus…not bitten by him and no other zombie got near him or bit him…..also how did he go several hours without turning into q zombie….yet Scott turned into a zombie in just near minutes…..MOVIE MAKE SENSE FOR ONCE PLZ!!!!…..ughhhh so thats the end of this film…teasing he will start a new zombie apocalypse…good grief ok thats it…..I’m done I’m done…this film sucks its horrible no no no its not just horrible its horrendous…..this film is insulting…..not just to die hard fans of zombies….but to movie watchers in general…….this film left a bitter taste in my mouth…I hate it…I’m gonna forget about this film as soon as possible now….I don’t recommend the film…I’m giving this film a solid 0/10…..skip it
