This is not worth watching for 148 minutes: basic description; Bly Tanaka [Hiroyuki Sanada:] a very wealthy man that has $200 million in this vault underneath the strip which the insurance people have paid out already $200 million, but he wants Scott Ward [Dave Batista:] which has already faced the current problem in Las Vegas and has received the Medal of Freedom saving the Secretary of Defence from these zombies which there are different gradings of them [likewise you will find out when you watch this film,] it wasn't just him it was his unit [the opening credits sequence will fill you in,] he also has an estranged daughter by the name of Katie Ward [Ella Purnell:] we will meet her later she has her own mission, she can go on her own or with her dad's unit it is up to him. But back to the present times; Mr.Tanaka offers Ward $50 million of the $200 million, to split up anyway he sees fit between the unit he has put together to get the job done.

The framework and pacing of this 148 minutes film is just way, way, way too long to the point where you could easily just taken off 48 minutes and compact the film. If you're thinking I am joking I am not, in fact I have just rounded up to give it 100 minutes to work with in an ideal world. But as things are; the framework and pacing is functional, meaning it does its job but after some time it does get tedious.

Which consequently you would be right in thinking the character developments and performances suffer because of this. They are a mixture between somewhere like safe and reliable to in two cases I am sure they didn't do the background work the main zombies or/and Ward and Maria Cruz [Ana de la Reguera:] a member of Ward's old and current unit, in fact her character developments tragically falls into a predictable outcome and I can't say too much more than that. But if you have watched as much content as I have you will understand when I say well that was predictable. But the hard reality is these character types are left exposed, because of this long time frame, there is no way enough depth or smooth chemistry, yes most of these characters are out for themselves and they don't like each other so you get consistently characters having a dig at one another or stabbing each other in the back in some way. But I will give the performers are break and say what they had to work with they tried to make something with it [this is a polite way of saying it wasn't on the cast itself and I am trying to shield them a bit] and finally there is some comedy elements in here like when we have Ludwig Dieter [Matthias Schweighöfer:] he is a new member of this unit and he is the vault cracker; for one example stopping this mental imagery of how this plan is going to go down, because in a nutshell he informs everybody that he has never shot a gun, the question goes around from Ward who else hasn't shot a gun? These hands go up, they discuss it and then we go back to this sequence of the plan with it being unfrozen and yes we have good action comedy bits with human beings characters being squashed and likewise zombies being squashed with plenty of messy and bloody action sequences.

Yes the art are combined with the action has to be seen as positives for its highest imagination and creativity used such as this landscape, the zombies including a white tiger zombie. So it should be no surprise to you for me to make this statement based on my opinion/viewing experience; yes this film is guilty of having problems, but using its assets like it's visual outlay to try and cover up the its weaknesses essentially covering over the cracks.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I couldn't give this film anything any less or likewise anymore because of what I have said in this content, it also does something on reflection annoying it leaves things open for a sequel. So I am just going to ask this really sensible question; so 148 minutes wasn't long enough to put out a decent film then? For my consistent viewers yes I usually put in dividers in my content, but in this case it would have just made things a bit more complicated and finally don't do what I did and that was get confused between this film and the Anime TV program well [6 episodes] at some point in 2023 I don't know too much about this. This film has some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner Academy Awards, USA Oscar 2022 Fan Favourite and 4 Nominees that includes Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2022 Saturn Award Best Make-Up Justin Raleigh Ozzy Alvarez Kevin Kirkpatrick Victoria Down.
