Pretty Good
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
After a viral outbreak in unnamed SE Asian city that looks like Johor Baru, Malaysia, Max (Dolph Lundgren with reading glasses) is hired to find and rescue Jude (Melanie Zanetti) the somewhat rebellious daughter of a rich man. The city is in quarantine, no one in or out which proved to be an awkward plot point.Max, quickly becomes the lone survivor of the rescue squad as he finds Jude living comfortably in a palace compound (one where a helicopter can't apparently land) run by Duke (David Field), a man who looks like and quotes Charles Dickens. Add some killer robots, bad acting and a formulaic ending...The zombies are not true foot dragging zombies, but rather fast moving frenzied cannibals attracted by noise and killed by normal means. There is plenty of zombie killing, but no Troma zombie effects of eaten and dismembered body parts. The story reminded me a bit of "Escape From New York City" with zombies minus memorable characters. Indeed, the lack of witty dialogue, memorable characters, and a good zombie feeding frenzy was the downfall of this film.Okay for a Redbox Rental, but nothing more.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
If you like such series like Resident Evil and Underworld you gonna enjoy Battle of the Damned (2013).The characters is boring and the action scene is unbearable with bad camera angle and lighting but if you want a midnight popcorn flick this movie might do the trick.There also bad CGI robot in there too
While the plot is a rip off of a Resident Evil one it is done fairly well. The team that goes in to rescue the perpetrators daughter is your typical stuff for this kind of show. Dolph Lundgren like Arnold and Stallone is getting a little long in the tooth for this kind of action movie. You can see it when he moves, especially jogging, he doesn't run anymore!! Unlike Resident Evil though the daughter is a full grown and knocked up female. She is also a competent fighter. A lot of the ending I could see coming. Anna was such an obvious weak link, Duke was a coward, Elvis and Lynn were doomed from the start. After all there were no black actors in the group to die first :) The fact that Dolph was suppose to rescue the girl and kill the leaker surfaces at the end. Dolph doesn't kill the guy, who by the way is the father of the daughters fetus. While you don't see it at the end I guess the three of them get out of the city after it is fire bombed. A decent enough movie, especially for the SyFy channel.
"Zombies, killer robots, nice town you got here." After a viral outbreak causes people to turn into zombies, military soldier Max Gatling (Lundgren) is called into battle. Not only must he fight off the zombie army with a few human survivors, but a group of robots that have been trained to kill as well. Even though it sounds made up I swear that is the plot of the movie. I know what your initial thought is but I have actually seen worse. The thing that helped the movie is that it didn't take itself too serious. If they tried to be straight line and make it seem like a real war movie it would have been un-watchable. The fact that they added comedy and made it a little over the top made it seem better then it actually was. I'm not saying this is a good movie at all because this wouldn't be in my top ten choices to watch ever but in terms of Dolph Lundgren movies there have been much worse. Overall, the robots look like a rip off of the Lost In Space robot and the zombie effects are barely passable. A severely low budget World War Z knock off but again I have seen worse. I give it a C.
