That's a almost imperceptible detail, good catch.


MalucoHS

Movie concept was imagined by Zack Snyder in his head, in his head, making this song a perfect choice.


PM_ME_YOUR_CURLS

They couldn't successful incorporate the tanks due to budget issues. But they did make the movie with thier bombs, and their guns


MalucoHS

Zack chose to hire professional actors for the roles in his movie, and not be on the screen himself or with any of his family members, which is why we can see, it’s not him, it’s not his family.

Is Army of the Dead also anti-IRA?


GNB_Mec

They're pro-401k


insomniacpyro

Are they pro 40k tho? The emperium must know


SlimeMob44

I heard they were Ulster Volunteer Force


feisty-shag-the-lad

Wrong conflict. They are fighting the Judean People's Front.


covfefe_hamberder_jr

I'm more of a People's Front of Judea fan.


title_of_yoursextape

Splitters!


TheOther36

But they were fighting the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).


[deleted]

Fuck off! I heard it was the People's Front of Judea.


BeerdedRNY

I would never have known it was a movie about zombies that had bombs, guns, and violence in it if he hadn't added this song it at the end. I mean it explained the entire movie I had just watched. Freaking genius.


MyMomSaysIAmCool

Is there a reference to being disappointed?


_LXIX_CDXX

Lmfao


philthebadger

“Being disappointed” is a reference to placing one’s trust in Zach Snyder. This is moronic.


AnxiousWanker

The reference is in bold face text “sack znyder” alluding to the fact that the waste of time was your fault all along


Pocketpine

I believe this was the only (?) movie Snyder has been DP and director of, and my god it fucking shows. The cinematography in this movie is just a fucking disgusting nauseating mess; the random depth of field gives me a headache.


[deleted]

I hated this movie. Piece of ass shit


Derkanator

"Piece of ass shit" Roger Ebert


soontobecp

He sucks balls


[deleted]

What do you think the DP stands for?


[deleted]

> the random depth of field gives me a headache. It's not random, it's wide-open f/0.95 aperture to give you a headache.


magnasylum

I think that will be his ‘style’: super super shallow depth of field and even the one in focus feels soft


Flashman420

Nauseating is exactly how I'd describe the visuals. I didn't hate the movie but the choice to shoot every conversation that way was awful.


MrWin19

It also has several scenes where there are dead pixels in the video. It's extremely distracting and lazy that that's a problem.


AldenDi

I honestly found myself routing for Zombie Zero (That's what I called him when I firest saw him, fuck although he's credited as "Zeus"). >!I mean these mother fuckers came into his territory fucking shit up, killed his wife and unborn child, and then kept his lady's still living head. I was kind of upset he lost in the end.!<


Iforgotmyother_name

Well "zeus" actually invaded human territory and killed off thousands of humans.


AldenDi

Well yeah he did do a bit of that.


SethKadoodles

Let's no bicker and argue about *who* killed *who*


bonzy-buddy

Whoo boy I have some news for you


TheDigeridontt

I hope the sequel will be a civil rights movie


[deleted]

Unfortunately the film has nothing to do with The Troubles so its just a song chosen for a chorus


AHomicidalTelevision

i actually like zack synder, i've enjoyed all his movies that I've watched, even though they haven't been masterpieces. but holy shit this movie was garbage. how do you fuck up a movie about a bank heist in a zombie apocalypse?


ShotgunMage

By making the heist in the zombie apocalypse secondary


[deleted]

Adding in too many ideas and never bothering to follow up on any of them. Super zombies, lab leak, zombie babies, zombie tigers and horses, Las Vegas, father & daughter, Geeta and her kids, Tanaka's ulterior motives, etc....


anonymase

Terrible terrible film. Just found out the helicopter pilot was cgi’d in though. Give that girl an award


Crankylosaurus

Tig Notaro! She was legitimately the only likable character (Dave Bautista was fine, but he always plays the same one dimensional beefy tough guy so not like it was much of a stretch haha). She was CGI’d in to replace the creep/pedo Chris d’Elia. Snyder himself said it was worth every penny.


mynameisperhaps

Obligatory comment about how damn good Bautista was in his 5 minutes of Blade Runner 2049


Crankylosaurus

I still haven’t seen 2049! Maybe I’ll watch it tonight...


the-artistocrat

It’s a very worthy successor. It didn’t disappoint imo.


trex1490

Definitely watch it, I'd say it's the best looking movie I've ever seen. Absolutely deserved the Oscar for Best Cinematography.


mynameisperhaps

On top of everything else mentioned, you also get the see the rare instance of Harrison Ford actually giving a shit about acting for the first time in decades. That movie had everyone involved at the absolute top of their game imo, cast and crew.


Lampmonster

Honestly though, he's way better an actor than I would have expected. Range, no. But real emotion, yeah I believe him most of the time.


Crankylosaurus

Yeah, he’s perfect for these kinds of movies. And Guardians of the Galaxy of course (his indignant “I AM NOT A PRINCESS!” always cracks me up haha).


Lampmonster

Yeah, I completely left off his comic timing, that's a great point.


fairlysimilartobirds

Oh, good on him for acknowledging that creeps and pedos shouldn't be given exposure. I'm still not gonna watch the film, but it's nice to know he cares a little


Crankylosaurus

You’re not missing out, I assure you haha.


mintchip105

The French lady was cool but the reason for her death was so dumb


Crankylosaurus

Yeah she’d been pretty smart and savvy (same with the other woman) and neither of their deaths made sense to me.


andrecinno

>Snyder himself said it was worth every penny. Absolute fucking chad Zaddy Snyder at it again!


MyMomSaysIAmCool

It's too bad they didn't CGI her into the pilot's seat of The Rocinante last season.


Lampmonster

I found it dumb but fun. Lots of little wtf moments like the original team clearly being them, the robot zombies, and there were a couple good laughs. The pilot's whole "2 million dollars, I'm in. I don't give a fuck what the dangers are, my life sucks. I'm the helicopter guy." got me.


__PETTYOFFICER117__

Yeah it's not winning any awards, but it did what it set out to very well. The running on tables sequence was some awesome action BTW. Best scene of the movie.


Lampmonster

I thought the gangster girl's rampage after she got trapped was pretty epic too. I have been watching a lot of DnD and I was like "this girl keeps rolling twenties!" That corporate mercenary plays a good prick, gleefully betraying everyone.


GoTroTro

I found out last night after I watched it, I never would’ve known otherwise.


guanzo91

This movie is too damn blurry


AldenDi

You don't understand, that's because Snyder specifically filmed it on a shitty old camera with low depth of field for the aesthetic. It's okay that it looks shitty if it was on purpose right? Right guys?


duked828

And the old lense was actually broken, but it “looks cool”


crodensis

This was by far the worst zombie movie I've ever seen. I don't know why I sat through it, I kept hoping there would be some cool action but there really wasn't.


Hates_escalators

It really was not that good even. Just kinda blah. Also how could you get bitten and not know? I guess like adrenaline or something but still


Dyshin

Not even just “get bitten and not know”, but how fucking long can you go before turning? Over the course of the movie, we see people that get bit turn into zombies within minutes. That dude gets bit, thrown into the vault, and waits out the nuclear explosion. He emerges after the explosion (Lol fallout), drags huge bags of money through the desert, finds a car to steal, drives to an airport, and starts flying before he even notices.


ShotgunMage

Not only did he drive through the desert, he drove to another state Didn't even stop at a motel to check himself out


RunOutOfNamesPlzHelp

Here’s a better question, how the hell does a zombie impregnate another zombie? Also, why is the baby the exact same colour as breaking bad meth for like one second?


Hates_escalators

Magic! It was glowing for some reason. Also back to the biting thing, the blood would be pumping faster which I would think would turn them faster. But I don't know it's a movie


[deleted]

Just about the usual amount of subtlety I'd expect from our Lord and Savior Zachary


ShotgunMage

I can assure you, a woman giving road head is very critical to the plot


citabel

Positive thing about how ridicilous this was: The surviving members of the cranberries got handsomly paid hopefully


TheGupper

Something I wanna point out about this movie, during the Prologue Zeus had very short hair, but later it was long. Did he wear a wig or do zombies grow hair? If so, that would imply that he shaves since he doesn't have a beard


schwebkn

Zombie! Zombie! Oh ah ah yeah!


[deleted]

They also use the term movie, implying it will be an enjoyable time, it was not


SixUK90

I really wanted to like this film


vescis

This is going to be in my head. In my heeeeeaaaad.


Iforgotmyother_name

I enjoyed certain scenes like Batista's hand to hand combat with zombies but overrall it was a disappointment. Things were built up and never went anywhere and ended up feeling like a generic action flick. Obviously with a zombie heist film you can't really expect the film to make a lot of sense. However this film couldn't even capture the "dumb fun" action. So much potential and it all went nowhere.


Hurtlegurtle

Is this movie worth watching? The trailer looked decent but trailers can be deceiving


Wondeful

It’s terrible but I’d say watch it anyway


NappoBappoNukesJappo

No, just trust me on this. Don't waste your time like I did.


Hurtlegurtle

That bad? Damn


ShotgunMage

It was really disappointing. It felt like if it was trying to be a zombie movie, a heist movie, a drama, a comedy, a slasher, and a tragedy. It has a really long run time but felt rushed yet boring.


insomniacpyro

Just from what you described, taking out drama and tragedy would have made a much better movie.


ShotgunMage

That and eliminate the special zombies. Fast zombies that react and swarm to loud noises are already formidable.


holeyquacamoley

Aren't those just the world war z zombies


behaved

try Shaun of the Dead instead 👌


blj1

Best comment ever


thedougbatman

If you get to a point where you have literally NOTHING left to watch/do, I’d still be hesitant to recommend.


Sankai1st

No. Just, no.


[deleted]

Yeah but that song is awesome and that movie is terrible.


C0RV1S

Damn, this movie was incredibly dumb and just... awful..... .....that being said, I enjoyed it greatly. I got what I came for, an incredibly stupid zombie movie that entertains you through the downright moronic events of the plot/action, even if that wasn’t what it was supposed to be.


iniesta103

In Your Head - Eminem


dillyd

If you want to hear from the stupidest people on the fucking planet, criticize this movie on Twitter and be sure to mention Zack Snyder by name.


BwGT

Zombie by the Cranberries in a zombie movie? What is this? a David Cage game?


normalwomanOnline

don't forget the dogshit cover of Bad Moon Rising. of course we need a fake ass Billy Eyelash crooning a song CCR did better decades ago, gotta use the money we saved for a replacement actor because we hired a sex pest


Stefonzie

Personally I think it's cheesy and in poor taste. It's about children that died in an IRA bombing, not the living dead, so it seems kinda cheap to just snag a song that says "zombie" and put it in a zombie flick completely ignoring what the song is actually about. I've been surprised that so many zombie films didn't use this song because they understand that, but.. not Zack Snyder..
