I saw this film mentioned on IRC a few days ago, the plot: Max Gatling accepts a mission to enter a sealed off zombie (sorry, infected) filled city to rescue a rich businessman’s daughter.<\/p>\n
The trailer was absolutely ridiculous – Dolph Lundgren, zombies, mercs, guns, more zombies, knives, zombies, robots, zom…\u00a0 Robots?\u00a0 I knew I had to see it, and while I was poking around the PS4 dashboard seeing what sort of films you can find on the streaming services – there it was, Battle of the Damned.<\/p>\n
This could not be approached in any half hearted way and as any film fan knows, munchies were essential.\u00a0 Not having had dinner yet I went and picked up a MacDonalds – serious business, came back home and put the film on.\u00a0 Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n
So often you see crazy film trailers and they sell you a lie.\u00a0 This one does exactly what it says on the tin.\u00a0 Yes there are some leaps of logic, yes a few of the effects aren’t entirely as convincing as they could be, but fun for the pound this film really delivers.\u00a0 Across the whole 90 minutes or so there’s never a dull moment and yes, you will get to see a robot proclaim ‘we fuck them up’ when asked about zombies.\u00a0 Just watch it, you can’t go wrong here.<\/p>\n
The low rating on IMDB just goes to show how many people in the world simply have no soul.\u00a0 I pity them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
