Army of the Dead	comment	Army of the Dead is a 2021 Action Horror film directed by Zack Snyder, co-written by Snyder, Shay Hatten and Joby Harold, and released on Netflix. A unique blend of a heist film set in a Zombie Apocalypse, it is Snyder's second film after Sucker Punch to be an original work and not an adaptation.Las Vegas has been devastated by a zombie outbreak, and the city is now walled off to contain the outbreak. A group of mercenaries (some of them being veterans of the war to contain the outbreak) gets hired to venture into the ruins of the city for a risky $200 million heist on a casino's vault beneath the Strip. They have a 32 hour window to pull it off and get out before the city gets nuked to prevent the spread of the infection.The film stars Dave Bautista as Scott Ward, Ella Purnell as Kate Ward, Ana de la Reguera as Maria Cruz, Garret Dillahunt as Martin, Raúl Castillo as Mikey Guzman, Omari Hardwick as Vanderohe, Tig Notaro as Marianne Peters note who replaced Chris D'Elia during post-production by being inserted into the movie with green screens and CGI after D'Elia was accused of sexual misconduct, Nora Arnezeder as Lily "Coyote", Matthias Schweighöfer as Ludwig Dieter, Theo Rossi as Burt Cummings, Huma Qureshi as Geeta, Samantha Win as Chambers and Hiroyuki Sanada as Bly Tanaka.Unusually for a Netflix film, Army of the Dead was released in about 330 Cinemark theaters and 270 other theaters stateside on May 14, 2021 before the worldwide release on the streaming service on May 21. 2021 also saw the release of Army of Thieves, a German-American co-production prequel film directed by and starring Matthias Schweighöfer, which details Dieter's backstory before the heist. A spinoff animated series titled Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas is in the making, and Snyder also has plans for Army of the Dead sequels, with the next film currently titled Planet of the Dead.The film is completely unrelated to Dawn of the Dead or any version of George A. Romero's zombie universe, despite the Title of the Dead, its zombies-related plot and Snyder's involvement in both movies.Previews: Teaser, Trailer.

Army of the Dead / int_1b7d59b6	comment	Death by Materialism: The protagonists want to get rich so they deliberately choose to go into a city overrun with hordes of deadly undead. Even when some of them are killed, the rest continue on. In an extreme example, Dieter and Vanderohe see that their escape route is about to be cut off and still decide to stay and get more money. Kate is the only one who goes into the city purely for altruistic reasons. She is the only one to get out alive. Averted by Damon who wants the money but values his life more, so he walks away during the planning stage.

Army of the Dead / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
Army of the Dead / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: In the prologue, the soldiers transporting Zeus are on "need-to-know" and are not told what they are transporting and what to do if the container is breached. They are thus easily slaughtered when Zeus gets loose. Lily waits until after the team are inside the walls of Vegas to let them know the Alphas have intelligence and are not the shambling, mindless beasts the team assumed they'd be dealing with. This one, interestingly, ends up being a justified example, perhaps even an invoked one: they meet her when they are already about to go inside, theywouldn't have had time to actually plan around it, and they adjust to it pretty quickly. No one in the team dies because of it, unlike many other poor choices, and the one person who does die because of it is the rapist guard that she deliberately brought in to kill (and that was needed as a sacrifice to go on), who would have been unlikely to follow had he known what was going to happen to him. Had Ludwig Dieter been clearer about what safecracking involved, the others wouldn't have interrupted him. Starting over delayed them 30 badly-needed minutes.

Meanwhile, life everywhere else goes on largely as normal; the zombie virus and the quarantine camps do cause problems, but people handle it the same way they handle ordinary issues, by protesting and trying to pass bills in Congress.

The Gadget Guy: Vanderohe, who rigs the explosives and has the most unconventional weapon of choice. The Muscle: Guzman and Chambers: only really there because they're good at killing. The Searcher: Lily sneaks them into Vegas and is their resident expert on the area. The Driver: Peters acts as the getaway driver and ensures there is a Chopper on Standby. The Safecracker: Dieter is one of the few people in the world that can crack Tanaka's safe. The Fall Guy: Cummings is the rapist asshole no one will miss and is on the crew as a sacrifice to the Vegas zombies for passage. The Inside Man: Martin, Tanaka's head of security that has knowledge of the building and the key card needed to get to the safe. The New Kid: Kate, who largely invites herself and doesn't have any special skills (also Dieter and Chambers to a lesser extent, since they're newbies to zombie-killing).

Army of the Dead / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Once again, Richard Cheese is our guide to a wonderful montage of zombie-related shenanigans - in this case, carnage instead of hanging out in a mall. A Casanova Wannabe sleazebag unwittingly fucks up our heroes' plans. The most innocent and heroic of the team abandoning the main group to rescue someone and winding up endangering the whole operation, though, this time, the motive was a LOT more heroic and the heroes were already threatened by someone else screwing up. Peters' apparent abandonment mirrors Steve's in Dawn of the Dead, though Peters had a change of heart, as opposed to Steve just being a lazy jackass.

Being a zombie in a desert location such as Las Vegas will eventually turn them into a mummy if exposed to the elements for too long, since even the alphas show signs of mummification with dried up leathery skin from the sunlight exposure and dry heat of the desert affecting them. Not to mention the shamblers, which will dry up to complete immobile mummies due to being too slow to even get away from the sun if left out in it. It certainly made the containment easier.

In reality 200 million dollars in $100 bills would weigh 2,000 kilograms or 4,400 pounds, far too much for a small group of people to carry on their backs, or for a single small helicopter to lift. The money was never supposed to get to the helicopter. It was a distraction while Martin acquired the real prize, a living Alpha head. He would then steal the helicopter and leave the rest behind. Those that make it to the helicopter get there without so much as a single duffel bag.

Army of the Dead / int_8ba9512b	comment	Our Zombies Are Different: There are three types of zombies: shamblers, alphas, and Zeus. Shamblers are your normal slow Romero-style undead, though the Vegas heat is noted to have an effect on them. Many of them hibernate inside, where they can be woken up by bright lights or loud noises, while those caught outside will dry out to the point that they're immobilized. Alphas can not only run, but they also retain some of their intelligence and engage in social behaviors. They scream to communicate with each other, they show affection, one of them is seen dodging Scott's knife strikes in combat, and they are seen gathered not in a mindless horde but as if they're having a meeting, during which Zeus and the Queen are obviously being shown deference. They're also fertile, at least if Zeus is the father. Finally, Zeus, the leader of the alphas, is stronger and more agile than any of them, capable of easily shrugging off getting shot (except in the head. Getting bitten by Zeus turns one into an alpha, whereas regular alphas can only create shamblers.

No one in the team dies because of it, unlike many other poor choices, and the one person who does die because of it is the rapist guard that she deliberately brought in to kill (and that was needed as a sacrifice to go on), who would have been unlikely to follow had he known what was going to happen to him.

Army of the Dead / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: The convoy in the pre-credit scene. The four vehicles are tailgating, rather than being spread out with one vehicle taking point about half a mile ahead and one vehicle covering the tail half a mile back. There is no aerial support to keep an eye on things and give warning of possible problems. The soldiers were given no other instructions than "drive this truck from here to there", rather than "This is an important and dangerous cargo; stay alert and immediately report any events". And finally the advice from base is to run away from the superfast monster on foot, dragging your wounded with you, and not, say, stay in your armored vehicles and drive away fast. The opening credit sequence is filled with this, with the US military dropping paratroopers over a zombie horde, helicopters crashing into buildings, personnel in an armored vehicle somehow getting infected and aircraft flying absurdly low with one A-10 nearly getting hit by the collapsing Vegas Eiffel Tower.

Army of the Dead / int_abad35b4	comment	Soundtrack Dissonance: The opening credits sequence of Las Vegas being overrun by zombies is accompanied by a jaunty lounge cover of “Viva Las Vegas” by Richard Cheese and Allison Crowe. Richard even comments on some of the events on screen, shouting “kapow!” as a helicopter crashes into the Olympus or “watch out, Elvis!” as the Eiffel Tower replica collapses onto a zombified Elvis Impersonator. As the song goes on, however, it grows increasingly downbeat and mournful, eventually turning into the Moody Trailer Cover Song version of itself in a manner akin to Crowe’s cover of “Hallelujah”, in keeping with the events on screen going from humorous and kick-ass to just plain bleak.

The entire heist as pretty much the whole crew is dead and Martin never got to bring the Alpha head to his boss which was the real goal all along. The ending indicating nuking Vegas did almost nothing as an infected Vanderhoe is about to land in Mexico City and start a new outbreak. The only silver lining is that he, like all the other second-generation infectees, can only infect others with a less potent strain.

Army of the Dead / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: As you might expect, quite a few people are killed and/or turned into zombies due to their own stupidity, but special mention goes to the two soldiers driving the lead vehicle of the military convoy transporting Zeus in the prologue. After being ordered by their superiors to get as far away as possible from Zeus's open container and subsequently witnessing Zeus escape and slaughter the rest of the soldiers in the convoy, these two geniuses decide to run away on foot rather than drive away in their still fully functional armored truck. Unsurprisingly, Zeus easily catches up to them and immediately converts them into the first two Alpha zombies. Chambers thinks it's a good idea to openly tell Martin that she knows he's up to something and threatening to tell the others her suspicions only to him and nobody else. This only results in Martin getting the opportunity to mislead Chambers through a horde of shambler zombies, which eventually results in her death. Chambers fights her way through a horde of shambler zombies on her own and jumps through a window, running out of ammo right as she does with nothing but a few zombies in her way between her and her group. But her group does nothing but stand there and watch as the zombies close in around her, and none of them try to save her, even though they're all armed with guns, which results in her death.

Army of the Dead / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Among the guesses of the two soldiers in the truck at the beginning about the cargo they just took out of Area 51, there's the headpiece to the Staff of Ra, from Raiders of the Lost Ark (which also features Area 51 at its very end). The opening titles seem to be this to Snyder's own Dawn of the Dead remake, featuring footage of the outbreak occurring (as per Dawn's opening titles), combined with a Richard Cheese cover (Cheese's take on Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" being used in one of the signature scenes of Dawn). During the sequence in which the heist is planned and explained, Zack Snyder's assembly cut of Justice League appears as part of the contents of the vault (Note that the scene was filmed before Zack Snyder's Justice League was greenlit). In the opening attack on the convoy, there is a sequence in which a solider stumbles and falls in a Cat Scare; the other soldier extends an arm to help him up, but is suddenly attacked, pinned to the ground and mauled by a zombie. This is a shot-for-shot homage to the moors attack from An American Werewolf in London. One character, in response to a showcase of greed, bitterly notes that at least the zombies don't stab each other in the back for profit. On first sight of the escape helicopter, a character remarks what a hunk of junk! Toward the end of the film, Scott, Kate and Geeta make their way to the roof of The Olympus for extraction, only to find that Peters has seemingly abandoned them in the helicopter. All seems lost until Peters rises back up into view to save them. The entire scene appears to directly homage Bishop's supposed abandonment of Ripley and Newt toward the end of Aliens before he too returns to save them. A billboard in the background of one scene advertises a show by Stage Magician, Larry Fong, a frequent collaborator of Snyder's who worked as the director of photography for 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The use of Siegfried's Funeral March from Richard Wagner's opera Götterdämmerung is yet another homage from Snyder to his favorite film, John Boorman's Excalibur, which used it as well. One for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:

Army of the Dead / int_f6b698ac	comment	Complexity Addiction: Tanaka's plan is ultimately revealed to be needlessly complicated and this is why it fails twice. To recap, he sends a team of hired guns into Las Vegas by telling them they are going to the city to break open a vault containing 200 million dollars in cash, then during the heist his inside man would somehow procure an Alpha's living head, leave everyone else to die, and fly away in the repaired helicopter. The idea that it would have been far simpler and quicker to tell his hired hands the real objective so they wouldn't waste time and resources going after the vault, apparently never crosses his mind. Considering he is working with the military, it seems odd that he couldn't have found individuals willing to do the actual job, as opposed to the hit-or-miss chance that his mole would manage to complete the objective under the noses of the others. To be fair, actually telling the crew would probably have resulted in them either dropping the job outright or killing him on the spot. Can you really imagine Las Vengeance going along with the whole "we'll restart the zombie apocalypse" plan?
