POSITIVES…
If you like zombie movies and Zack Snyder, then by all means go check out this movie.
Fun premise of combining the zombie genre with a heist element to it.
Opening montage is awesome. All the montages in fact. Snyder knows how to do fantastic montages.
Good ensemble cast, from Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Theo Rossi, plus many more.
Speaking of the cast though, I gotta specifically give it to Tig Notaro, Nora Arnezeder, and Matthias Schweighöfer, for being the stand-out characters in this.
The introduction scene for the Athena Perample zombie character. Fascinating.
That one set piece involving Samantha Win’s character is peak zombie movie awesomeness.
Booby trap sequence. Entertaining stuff.
Has some spectacular visuals to see in this movie.
Liked the mythological touches to the story behind the zombies.
Zombie animals.
Richard Cheese and Allison Crowe’s “Viva Las Vegas.”
NEGATIVES…
While there’s a heist element to the premise, it doesn’t really capitalize on that genre as much as I hoped it would.
Logical flaws in the story.
Characters you just don’t really care for.
There are some slow moments that I didn’t like halting the momentum the movie had.
Needless to say, some pacing and tone issues.
Zack Snyder arguably indulges himself too much here.
Considering the content of the movie, it really didn’t need to be 148 mins long.
Was the topless female zombies really necessary?
