Geez, I almost watched Alice based on recommendations here the other day. That sounds like exactly not my thing. Y'all made it sound like a fun time, and the trailer made it look goofy and whimsical.

Some spoilerish notes: Detective No. 27 posted:His shoulder got dislocated, first so I'd speculate the pain would have distracted from the bite. Also supposedly slowed his blood flow which is why he took longer to turn. That was honestly what i was thinking of even before the bite reveal, like drat you survived Van, enjoy your rich but short life.

It's worth at least watching the first 3 episodes—if you're engaged by then you'll probably like the rest well enough, but the last 4ish episodes are nowhere near as good as the first 4.

I mean it's good so far and I'm going to keep watching it, but it's 100% not whimsical. There is a certain macabre humor at times though, but also...the aforementioned crying. It's not torture porn either- there's graphic deaths but it serves a purpose and doesn't gratuitously linger. 3 eps in, I haven't had to avert my eyes yet cuz of slow agonizing visual violence, but it's 1000% not for kids. Initially I'd been avoiding it cuz based on the title and image netflix was showing me, I assumed it was a surreal-esque story about a girl in a mental institution. Whoops.

Army of the Dead is just so loving boring once that opening montage is over. They don’t even do anything fun with the setting after that because 90% of the movie takes place on either a rooftop, a hallway with the safe door (we don’t even see inside the loving safe!), the same wreck-strewn intersection half a dozen times, or an abandoned hotel pool. It looks cheap as gently caress too, like Snyder shot a SyFy original as a gag.

My favorite part is that the guide saying it's not safe to walk openly on the streets, so she brings them through a building full of hibernating zombies, leading to the death of one of their crew but then later her and the henchmen guy just casually walk back to their starting point in broad daylight by themselves. Also that the thing they needed could have been obtained in 5 minutes like 30 yards from the entrance .

Who would you compare Zack Snyder to? Someone that's clearly talented to some degree but who keeps making terrible bloated messes that he thinks are profound? Like who was the first director of this stripe? Don't say Kubrick!!!

Zach Snyder is like a dumber Nolan to me. The are both given a lot of free reign to do what they want and use it to make over long movies that are hard to call good, but everyone collectively decides they need to watch anyways. Although I can say I like a few Nolan movies and at best, I tolerate Zach Snyder movies.

Literally seconds after I hit post I was like "Oh... he's a dumb Christopher Nolan" haha Though if I'm being honest I'd rather watch Justice League again than TENET

There’s also the whole thing about regular zombies not coming out during daytime and hibernating in the hotels during the day... except for the montage at the very beginning where there’s huge hordes of them out in the daytime doing regular zombie things? And then after the scene where they sneak in you never see another regular zombie for the rest of the movie (other than the one they trick into triggering the vault traps) because the whole finale is just the dumb Alpha Zombies. Every single baffling story decision seems tailor-made to just keep the budget down, as if this is some lovely cable movie and not the $90 million dollar franchise-spawning film they want it to be.

I stopped watching after they enter Las Vegas and the main zombie is growling with his zombie girlfriend for a whole long scene. Seems, from what I've been seeing and reading that I didn't miss much. Perhaps the dead pixels.

I watched it mostly because I enjoyed Snyder's Dawn of the Dead and didn't realize until afterwards that they were in no way connected.

I thought the movie was pretty clear that the entire reason the team/heist was assembled was solely to make a big noisy distraction so that agent dude and coyote woman could go off and get an alpha zombie head without distraction or interference

Covid was a factor in production, right? I have a feeling that’s gonna screw with logistics for a while longer.

Did they ever even explain why they had to crack the safe? Presumedly the Japanese guy had the code. I don't remember them even asking for the code at any point. Or why he didn't tell them any details about the traps and they didn't even ask. I know the whole thing was a front to get a zombie head, which is overly complicated and dumb for it's own reasons. But Idg why they got the mission from the guy with all of the details and then went in with no details because he didn't offer them and they didn't ask

For that matter, if warm flesh can trick a zombie into thinking dead flesh is living why aren't the zombies hanging out in the desert sun just snacking on each other?

I figure insurance, security protocols, gambling regulations and whatever corporate nuances make it a bit more complicated than just "own casino = own all cash on hand". I dont know, maybe they could of elaborated on that with some dialogue but I dont think the movie was concerned too much with those kinds of details, which didnt work for some. Also they do go over the traps in the set up and Dieter even remarks about how they lied in regards to them being "non-lethal" when they set them off.

Google Butt posted:I mean how many millions can a few people carry by hand anyway lol movies dumb A Huey, I think thats what the heli in the movie was, can carry an external load of 5,000lbs, and $200mil weighs around 4,500lbs. I am assuming the thought was with more time they would have been able to extract pretty much the whole load in a few hours. Give or take some movie logic with carrying an extra half ton of people its not far from impossible. Not saying it was the best plan, though.

But the zombie head thing aaaaaah. The CEO henchman didn't even need the chopper. He could could have just walked his rear end back out on foot. Also did I fall asleep or something. Why would you be allowed to fly out of a no-fly zone but not into? That part made no sense to me.

He could have just hired the guide lady (or possibly not even bothered with her even), ignored the rest of the cast and accomplished what he was trying to do immediately. The entire premise doesn't work at all. I enjoyed watching it even though I knew it was a pos, but afterwards I started thinking about it and 5 seconds later I was just like "nope, not even gonna bother" Almost every plot point has some catastrophic flaw. It's not worth thinking about too much. The price was right.

I happened to watch Triple Frontier not long ago, basically the entire plot of that movie revolves around how much cash fits in a helicopter. It really stuck out that no one even mentioned it in Army of the Dead.
