Army of the Dead (Spoilers)

I had to start a thread for this to avoid spoilers in the movie ranking thread. Just finished the movie. Major question is did anyone actually read the script before they started filming? This is one seriously bad movie. So many plot holes, lack of logic storyline. Granted with any zombie movie, you have to have some bit of lack of reality but this goes well beyond that. Too many things to go into but the major question is What The Hell are Robot Zombies?!?! No explanation at all.

Blatant rip off of alien in one scene, in fact the character pretty much is dressed the same.

Did Snyder run out of his power on his slow-mo machine and decided to crank up the out-of-focus machine instead.

Can't believe Batista passed up Suicide Squad for this wreck of a movie.

Spoilers

...

If the secret mission was simply to get a zombie head, why didn't they "kill" the first two zombies at the entrance and then exit out the way they came in? They even go back to that same spot (which, how did Coyote and bad-guy get there without issue?) to cut off the bride's head. Instead, they make up this difficult heist plan that leads a group of people deep into zombie territory. There was even another team outside the vault, so clearly this strategy to get ONE zombie head wasn't working.

Also, Batista's daughter was infuriating. She endangers the whole group to save two women who had about a minute of screen time (why should we care?), and at the end, we don't even know if they survived because the focus is on Batista turning into a zombie.

they all died, everyone died due to that stupid girls selfish and pointless decisions

plot holes abound in this movie, i wouldnt look for anything other than mindless action fun if you can turn your brain off for a couple hours and down some snacks

Around 8 hours.

No, probably around 50 or so minutes each time I put it on, give or take. Day a segment.
