Army of the Dead review – 2.5 stars
By- Sayyed Sakeena
‘Army of the dead’ directed by Zack Snyder is a Zombie action packed thriller replete with spins and multiple suspense filled moments. The Sci-fi horror flick begins with a Zombie outbreak in Las Vegas detaching it from the entire United States. A crew of humans headed by Scott Ward(Dave Bautista) enters the zone of the undead to extract money stocked inside the casino and in the bargain has to deal with the legion of zombies who are ready to unleash violence.
The action driven heist movie that happens to be set during the zombie outbreak gives a dominant dreadful feeling and prolepsis that is built from the starting and gets the viewers involved in it. The movie has great visual effects with the cast giving an impactful performance. There’s also a Zombie hierarchy depicted in the movie which turns out to be a new intriguing concept of the zombie world adding more tension to the movie. However, the storyline of the movie appears a bit incomplete leaving the audience in sheer dismay with the ending not being explained properly and seems a bit rushed.
The estrange father daughter relationship between Scott and Kate (Ella Purnell) portrayed, gives much needed poignancy to the movie despite all the violence, bloodshed and gore which continues to make the climax emotional and appealing.
Rating- 2.5 stars
