When Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), a former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), it’s with the ultimate proposition: break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours.

With little left to lose, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all.

"Snyder’s best movie since his debut, the zombie film “Dawn Of The Dead” (2014), Army Of The Dead is tremendously compelling and deftly navigates a lot of different tones, even if it quickly leaves more interesting ones behind. Largely captivating and thrilling, for all is gore, darkly twisted comedy, and delicious tension— surely something satisfied audiences will walk away with—there’s also a minor but palatable sense of loss and melancholy. One that echoes the hardships of the pandemic age and ruthless American capitalism and gives the film some socio-political edge." ... Read full review

"Snyder served as his own director of photography for the first time and, aided by terrific effects makeup and digital production design, he’s created a sprawling graveyard Vegas of detailed, decaying awesomeness. " ... Read full review

"Whether Army of the Dead is any good isn’t really an issue. It’s more whether it sets out to do what Snyder intends for it to do. If he intended it to be an over-the-top exercise in zombie mayhem sprinkled with the occasional human emotion, he succeeded. The nice part is that this time he has actually managed to make it fun along the way." ... Read full review

"You can sense Bautista making the best of Snyder’s father-daughter formula, but pacing feels off. And the script, which Snyder wrote with Joby Harold and Shay Hatten, settles into mechanical plotting that undercuts all the zany, pop energy that began its trajectory. " ... Read full review

Probably the first "objectively" good movie Zack Snyder's put together - and that's coming from a genuine fan of "Man Of Steel." "Army Of TheProbably the first "objectively" good movie Zack Snyder's put together - and that's coming from a genuine fan of "Man Of Steel." "Army Of The Dead" finds the polarizing filmmaker at his most aerodynamic; a curious thing to say about a two-and-a-half hour long zombie film, sure, but hear me out. Many of Snyder's films end up suffering at the feet of the aesthetic, with things like characterization and narrative taking a back seat to the overall look of the movie. This really marks the first time I've seen a Zack Snyder film where every visual element felt as though it was in service to the overall product and not just to the audience's eyes. Not sure if this has to do with Snyder's relationship to the material itself, the fact that he's his own cinematographer this time around or the fact that he's working with a much more hands-off studio/distributor in the form of Netflix. In any event, you're given boatloads of well-shot zombie action, some surprisingly resonant emotionality and easily the best CGI-beast mauling scene I've seen since "The Revenant." Zombie tigers are the greatest thing to happen to the subgenre. Quote me. Expand

It's really not boring, but every decision the characters make just makes you wonder if it was written on purpose or if Zack Snyder and the other screenwriters don't have a clue. And it just would be an excuse to bring the argument of the genre; there are great mainstream films that aren't as embarrassing as this one, at least when we talk about the plot. Expand

Just Bad. Over long. Predictable. Zero likeable characters. Bad music. Extremely cliche. Poorly acted. Poorly filmed. A complete waste ofJust Bad. Over long. Predictable. Zero likeable characters. Bad music. Extremely cliche. Poorly acted. Poorly filmed. A complete waste of time. Like it was written by twelve year old boys. No adults were involved in the making of this film.not campy enough to be funny but campy enough to just be stupid and childish. Very possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Expand
