Holy shit. What an absolute dumpster fire of a movie. I don't even know where to start on it.
So many things that didn't have payoffs within the movie (apparently there's going to be prequels or whatever but who the fuck cares). Just off the top of my head the robot zombies, the alien talk, the whole time loop deal down in the basement, the rain waking up zombies. None of it meant anything.
Some of the weirdest things I've ever seen a movie. The whole main zombie and his zombie wife + baby, pointless side quests, The entire point of the movie was a lie, but it would have just been way easier to send in a team to get a zombie head?
It really was a peak into the mind of Zack Snyder, who absolutely has the mind of a 12 year old suburban teen from the early 2000s.
It was a really great hate-watch.
What did everyone else think?
Edit: Talking about it, though, the part where Batista's best friend got her neck snapped and a single tear rolled down her face was one of the best unintentionally funny things I've seen in a long time.
Oh my God, the number of Chekov's guns left unfired. I found the part about the rain waking up the dry zombies particularly egregious. I thought it was a fun, if obvious, bit of foreshadowing. It's the desert, so rain is rare, but it would create a lot of drama, plus the weather changing could signal a turn in the plot. 2 hours later and you realize it never comes up again. Just a throwaway line that could be left out of the movie entirely.
A lot of movies make no sense, but this is one where there is no amount of suspension of disbelief that will tie it together.
No because expanded universes mean filmography is just showing a checkovs armory for the entire movie.
