0:00 Army Of The Dead Questions Intro
0:55 The UFOs
3:20 Robot Zombies
5:14 Timeloops
7:18 How Did Vanderohe Survive?
7:47 Is Vanderohe Zeus?
Army Of The Dead is now out and the movie has a lot of questions hanging over it. The movie is packed with weird little details that hint towards UFOs, Robot Zombies, Timeloops and even the possibility that Vanderohe is actually Zeus.
Over the weekend I dead-icated myself to unearthing the answers and after compiling interviews with Zack Snyder, I've come up with some theories and answers to the questions that have no doubt been picking your brains.
Full spoilers ahead so if you haven't had a chance to check it out yet then I recommend that you check out now. Drop the thumbs up as that's a no brainer and make sure you subscribe as this is the channel where we explain everything from A to World War Z.
With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into our breakdown of Army of Dead.
Ok so the movie opens with the military transporting the Alpha Zombie Zeus across the desert. This convoy takes the character from Area 51 which is synonymous with Aliens. For decades people have theorised that the secret military base in the Nevada Desert was set up after an Alien spaceship crash landed there and since the 50s, there's been a lot of mystery around the location.
Extraterrestrials have too been linked with Zombies for a long time and recently it was revealed by Robert Kirkman that the outbreak in the Walking Dead was caused by a space spore that fell to Earth.
Night Of The Living dead too had theories in it that said the Zombie outbreak may have been caused by Nasa shooting down a satellite on it's way to Venus. Due to the radiation that it was carrying, it returned to Earth and brought the dead back to life. This radiation could be what kills people upon being bit and then from here it may reanimate their corpse.
Much like the two soldiers we meet in this opening, fans have been theorising exactly what's going on with the virus and because of the location we can guess that it was caused by experiments carried out at Area 51.
You can also see two bright white lights in the sky hovering over the base and these shoot off as the transport makes its way out of the area.
Personally I think that the undead are actually created through hybrid human and alien DNA and there is some evidence for this in the film. When Zeus is shot at the end of the movie within the red blood we can also catch flashes of blue.
When the baby is pulled from Zeus' ghoul-friend the bride if you look closely you can also see that it's blood vessel's beneath it's skin are glowing blue as well.

Wait why does this comment say posyed 1 hour ago
I disliked everything excluding zombie action... zombie stuff was really cool ...
It was stated on the news that they have done many test already in the nevada desert. Can be another hint towards time loop of them trying to perfect the infection
If anything you say is set to be true than Snyder's a genius and your a genius for being able to see what he was conveying.
The robot zombie you could call Rob Zombie 🤷🏼♂️😆
Plot Twist: He put random things just to see what ideas youtubers make up and then uses them for a sequel.
Because there's no way he actually has the entire story mapped out?
They literally green lit the prequels right after announcing this movie and later on cast every character they wanted but for some reason you want to believe that he set up things in army of the dead without a clear plan for where he wanted his story to go?
U are absolutely right
@@reaganbuster4450 exactly that
FR - just call it "Army of questions that never get answered, cuz I signed a deal, and I'll just make up the answers later for the sequels and prequels, but please let me waste your time with the first one"
That would be wild bruh 😂
The safecracker did say the vault was like a portal to another world didn’t he?
yes, I'm amazed not one video ever mention this
He said "Death or rebirth"
@Kevin Lore and Ragnarok
@@darthsidious2952 well I mean, Ragnorok was a twilight of the gods
Thus the fighting dying, fighting dying…
The female alpha isn't called "The Bride", that's a completely different character. The Bride is the literal bride from the start of the film who caused the convoy to crash, the female alpha is called Queen or Athena
There was another bride, it's Vegas.
Umm don't u mean Hera?
The first wasnt a bride or called a bride it was a male soldier... Zeus what ever time passedater in the movie his hair is grown out, weird for zombies
@@martinarias1690 idiot he's talking about the woman that was giving head in the car at the start
@@martinarias1690 Talking about the woman in the car
When Hiroyoku Sanata explains the plan to the team they actually show the events play out like the team is already living out the plan. This could be the movie actually showing us one of the time loops already lived out by the team. The confidence with which Sanata recites the plan could also hint at him knowing already how the events are going to play out
Its common theme in movies to do like that when someone elaborates a plan
you people have to stop trying to find excuses for a poorly crafted moovie, poorly written, poorly framed, poorly executed and barely in focus... the moovie was shit so Snyder did what he could to salvage it ussing JayJay Hacks mystery box technique... wow loop? aliens, robots? let's sprinkle it so people may think it is deeper thant it is and not focus on the fact that it is actual shit that doesn't make sense... try to be an action film without any action scene that is cool to watch... humor that is physically painfull to listen to and dialogues that try to be deep but end up being so cringe it is haaaard to watch.
This is the guy that pumped out a 4 h moovies after reading hundreds of critics and review for years and it was barely above what was 1st proposed...
Yes watchman was great, but he didn't write it, the comics already existed.
@@ikasuki1 Huh? First of all the Snyder Cut was made years ago, back in 2016. So I don’t get your point of him reading critics reviews for years? Why would he read reviews about someone else’s movie? And what for? His film was already made and just needed to be released. Secondly, just because YOU disliked the film doesn’t mean everyone else does. It’s literally your own opinion. It has 2 prequels coming out and future sequels in store. Its clearly a much larger thing then the 1 movie.
@@ikasuki1 ti sbagli
I believe the radiation slowed down Vanderohe's transformation, also because of the radiation he might never fully turn and stay as a better hybrid human - zombie
That would be awesome
pretty the virus is smart enough, it makes him into a carrier at first too
Wait till he makes babies with the blonde stewardess types... 😆
I was supposed to ask this question. But I think this is the best answer. Plothole closed due to fan theories 😅
Bro y’all theories be so thought out lol I love it
dieter metaphorically refer the safe as gateway to another realm
I aint think of none of this shit while watching the movie 😭😭 I clicked on this cuz I needed a explanation on the timeloop shit then boom! Aliens.
Same 😂 I only came ‘cause of the zombie “robot” and the timeloop theory
The whole movie was just Oceans 11 with an Aliens ending.
@@kevinpeterson1398 fr
There is no time loop.
They are characters in a video game.
They have died at this location prior and their corpses work like the Dark Souls bonfires. That is as far as they had made it in their last heist, which is why they did so well on this one.
They had done it before. But not in the past.
In the game they don't know they are in.
Oui oui !!Word of a frenchman i just clicked about these bloody robots... Snyder has no respect^^ thinking we all dumb and woke as him..^^ALIENS .. i felt from my sofa!
Snyder plaisantin à la con^^
My biggest question is why did they have Van take his saw when he never used the thing?
Interesting
@@randypence6289 Yupp bro that's the evidence of a portal in the safe
Oh really
Maybe he was bitten earlier, but didn't notice it.
@@jeongin006 really?? For every one else it took seconds/minutes to convert in to zombies after being bitten, but for some logic this guy comes out of the place walks a distance drives then takes a plane and then finally turns to a zombie.. wow.. don't you think that whole thing was just to show how predictable the endings can be.. every zombie/virus movie ends like that
Alien nano-tech, causing the brain to reanimate, while restructuring their body? Also, Zeus was pretty advanced, wearing a metal mask to stay alive!
Let’s face it if Zeus was smart enough to wear a mask, ride a horse, and lead an army. But dumb enough to not know how to climb over some Shipping containers. Also let’s talk about the safe that was the dumbest cartoon shit I ever seen in the movie nothing but a distraction
@@brandonbrawner933 he could have invaded the rest but it was said in the movie rules needed to be followed.
One of the rules I suspect are to give sacrafices every so often. If not, that's when the dead and humanity go to war because of lack of respect given.
But they didn't know about the nuke
Why did Zeus not make every one of the alphas wear a mask ?
@@tariq_sharif because obviously every household in vegas has a metal mask just ready to be used in the closet.
@@TheBenSheeGaming it's Vegas, so yeah ?
did anyone else notice that zeus has army tags on his neck
He’s prolly AF- came from Area 51- all the troops from the beginning are defenders (AF MP) and if that’s not enough most of the time it’s the AF moving high value assets so my guess- on some kinda mission gas guy toe to toe with aliens and they wound him- his body mutates and from there he’s a living zombie of sorts- upon first viewing I noticed he had little cords similar to ones you’d find at the doctors office for checking somebody’s pulse- on top of that his hair is in military regulation so more than likely sole survivor of his unit or whatever- mutates- further experimented on by USAF and the virus probably killed all the original personality of troop- leaving only the virus in control- Zeus
@@whos.huertas use punctuation next time.
@@mmagowd no
i assumed he took them from the 2 soldiers who managed to get away
Yeah in the first few seconds that we meet him, that fighting scene. He had dog tags
When they are looking at the blueprints early on Dieter does say that when he opens the vault it will be a doorway to another realm... and when he and Vanderhoe are shooting bottles, Vanderhoe does say not bad for your first time. But it probably isn't his first time is it 🤔
My guess is that the vault opening and closing is the actual trigger for the time loop. I also think Tanaka and the government are trying to close it and to capture the zombie head to learn as much as they can before the next time loop. They'll probably make a sequel with each time loop explained
It wasn’t his first time as we see in Army of Thieves
Leads to a never-ending Netflix series where every episode is a different version of the time line 🤔
Leads to a quickly-ending Netflix series that gets canceled after one season
I know the actor who fought Batista near the elevator. It’s great seeing people you know in movies!
Wasnt it filmed in New Mexico?
The zombie with the crazy moves?
Man you arent lying. One of the Black Panther's bodyguards goes to my church lol. I also saw here in a episode of snowfall.
@@AirportHobo34 yup which I don’t get too much when Arizona is closer.. but I guess sense New Mexico is a giant state of nothing it’s easier
Yea shure and Bautista is my uncle
*Apparently, A NUKE BLAST CAN OPEN AN ULTRA COMPLICATED LOCK OF A VAULT*
WHILE IN INDIANA JONES, A FRIDGE CAN WITHSTAND SUCH BLAST
Bruh u dumb bank vaults have emergency release on the inside in case someone gets locked in.
@@gsgambe01 then let me ask you...
why didnt he get out of the vault earlier?
zeus and the alphas were chasing batista for the latter half quarter of the movie. plenty of time to check if other zombies are gone.
pretty sure he knows about nuclear fallout after a nuke so im sure he wouldnt survive that since everything is common knowledge nowadays right?
even if he was bitten, its not like the weapons they left lying around were taken by zombies. he could suicide if he knew hes bitten already...
my point is, the movie seemed forced. the way the accident happened the first time zeus got out was pretty cringey.
@@enix0053 Why would he leave the vault earlier?, he would have to run to the helicopter wich woudnt help beacuse that is where the zombies are chasing the rest of the team or try to run outside of the blast radius of the nuke and that isnt going to happen, so the safest place is inside the vault. And as for commiting suicide to not turn into a zombie.... it is implied in the movie that he only knew about the bite after boarding the jet in the bathroom scene. The way zeus escapes at the beginning could have been better i agree
P.S: sorry if there are grammar mistakes, english is not my first language
Bruh he knew the place was soon gonna be nuked so he might choose to stay inside. Did you take many skips when watching the movie?
@@diegodecuadromansilla3867 thats a. It of a forced plot armor to not know the bite early though... Thats the first thing id check if im locked in a vault that long
The guy planted in their group to monitor them, says, “I hate that tiger”. Meaning he has seen the tiger before
Yeah, he saw it once, immediately after they entered Vegas. You know, like literally 2 seconds after they entered the city! This movie is full of so many ridiculous plot holes.
@@bigdeal5394 Yeah, it's plot swiss cheese. Stepping back, it almost seems like it was supposed to be a zombie comedy that had every punch line taken out. As if they were supposed to make jokes about the robot zombies, the 'time loop', and all the other nonsense. Instead Snyder changes the tone and strips out the one liners.
@@patrickk5287 it must have been because I couldn't help but laugh at every single death scene that was supposed to be "serious". And the relationships were so contrived, it was painfully obvious when a character was about to die.
@@bigdeal5394 my favorite was when the girl confesses she went on this dangerous mission so she could rekindle her relationship with the main character(which comes out of NO WHERE since they didnt have any scenes establishing it) ONLY to snap her neck 10 seconds later. . . smfh, snyder should have someone write his movies for him. . . .
@@guy3090 man, that was the funniest one! As soon as they did that I was like "that chicks about to die". 😂😂
I'm not sure if that was funnier than them all just watching that one gangsta girl die after she jumped through that window though....definitely a close second!
Theory: Zack Snyder has no idea what he's doing. He put weird stuff so the fans make theories and write the sequel for him.
Kathleen Kenedy called and would like her secret Star Wars sauce back.
Insert every original neflix film here.
Could be. The guy just knows what the fans want.
Worked for romero....
💯 agree with this statement, this movie was filled with plotholes and left things up for people to decide and assemble their own head cannon in the worst way possible. Lazy writing and the characters were not well constructed. If you're going to rip off Aliens, at least make it good. Like blatantly ripping it off with a Bishop not coming back to pick them up moment, a almost direct line about not seeing the zombies fuck each other over for profit, a Vasquez like character, using LV on the daughter's shirt, a corporate stooge fucking everyone over and getting people killed and the list goes on. Lame movie overall.
My main complaint about AOTD is that if the US Gov had Zeus would they really transport him across land with limited back up in a shed that falls open if it's tipped over? No Zack, no they would not.
yah well, film makers rarely let facts get in the way of a story.
heck, with something that dangerous they would even likely close the roads the convoy would follow
You'd be surprised how many times the army fucks up and doesn't reach the news. Plus the operation needed to be low budget to keep it under wraps, they didn't know the driver taking the container would be an idiot that doesn't keep his eyes on the road and that a couple having oral sex would crash into them.
Yes.
Think about it. In the air you’re vulnerable to cross flights and air traffic and if something goes wrong up there you’re screwed compared to just pulling to the side of the road.
The ground approach allows you to control traffic, send armed escort and have quick response.
@@paullewis4585 Think about it. A world ending threat being guarded by a handful of soldiers with ZERO "armed escort back up"? The freaking Veep travels with more security than that
Zeus took the money, called Tommy out in California and told him to meet him in Mexico. Ghost will return in Power with Mexican Cartel ZOMBIES!
🤣💪🏽
Lmao best comment my G
the entire father daughter plot line killed this movie from being rewatchable.
Fr. You can't feel sorry for both of them, when you can't make an connection :/ and kate got everyone killed
I felt sorry for him she was such a selfish bitch, even when he was trying to make things better she just gave him shit, like killing the woman he loved wasn't just as hurtful for him as it was for her.
@@derrickmcdowell8824 yeah she pissed me off the whole movie just to be the only one to survive
@@questionnaires8924 exactly, she had one job, to follow the one rule he gave her and she couldn't even do that, yet she still survived unharmed. Hell the woman she went to save still died, Wtf was the point!
@@derrickmcdowell8824 yess that's what I said. She just was a waste messed everything and everybody up
Guzman killed a blue eyed zombie towards the end of the movie when Zeus and his minions were storming the group
If Van coming out of the ground is a time travel occurrence due to the atomic blast, then a sequel can bring back Bautista, I want and need more Bautista in my life and as this character!!!
He was in close contact with Zeus' blood so hopefully that is able to bring him back
@@christymclaughlin618 yeah his daughter blowing his brains out cancels that. Which is why I want it to be a time travel sci fi twist :)
Dude Bautista has truly turned into this actor that I get so excited to see in movies. He’s built like he’s believably brutal, he moves like an athlete, and then he hits you with a hilarious one-liner that only he is capable of. I’m with you!
Don’t worry, his daughter is alive at least
@@homielander5924 yeah yeah she’s cool and that. But I want Bautista... more of his character. Time travel, new time line... more Bautista.
These are the kinda movies i love. The one that keep you discussing and coming up with cool theories
"Is my job to make some pop-culture piece of candy that you eat and forget about the next day? Nah. I would rather f*** you up in a movie than make it nice and pretty for everybody,"

@@ThompsonBrotherF ok. And?
@@xlr8919 What about Martha, Zack ??
@@AjitSingh-ow8qt Haha😐 Another Martha joke
@@AjitSingh-ow8qt oh your mother's name is martha huh.? Don't worry I'll send the batman
There’s another robot zombie as the crew is trying to escape the vault. The eyes were glowing blue and I think the sparks blew up as someone shot it in the head idk
Me too
Guys, just admit it: we are wasting way more time talking about the movie than they did writing and making it.
absolutely correct.
Well, nothing is wrong with that. One man's garbage and all that. Maybe we can make a worthwhile story out of that movie.
This is so true. There's so many ways this film could've been better so it's so easy discuss.
yeah maybe cause the script was written 10 years ago and it will have its flaws
Most likely tbh. But, I think its wild that some of the fan theories I've read in this comment section sound like a much better film than the one I watched. The sheer amount of plot holes and unanswered questions just begs for someone to tidy it all up and then that gets made into the sequel.
Time loops, robot zombies, advanced zombies that can think and act and procreate(?!) Not to mention the elephant in the room... ALIENS!! This movie had a lot of potential that was not expanded or explained. I would love to see a remake that handles all these issues (and without all the out of focus artsy shots 🤢).
I like the movie but I felt it could’ve been a four-star movie if they just didn’t write the daughter so stupidly, and there was no reason for the money heist
Your right.
yea kate sucked the life out of her scenes
Yes, they should have had a better reason to go into the city. When Tanaka made the offer to Batista I was saying "no, no, no, no, no, no"
Agree about the daughter but . . . I think we are going to find out the money heist is actually important to the time loop. In other words:
1. Original timeline - JUST a heist (the dude trying to get a zombie head isn't there) - therefore the blonde "Coyote" isn't there. They all die.
2. Second timeline - Now the Coyote is involved (Maybe because she ALWAYS is the only one to survive, and the subconscious knows they need help. The coyote sacrifices the rapist to make the deal . . . and they get further. However, they are all killed inside the vault because the daughter breaks the truce to go after her stupid friend. (these are the skeletons shown in the film).
3. Netflix Timeline - Now the Japanese business guy has figured out there is a time-loop (maybe with the help of the government) so he gets involved and sets up a heist, pretending the vault is his. (Notice he doesn't have the codes to give them? Why not? Is this just bad writing? Or something else . . .?) He sends his dude who gets eaten by the tiger. Since THIS jerk-wad breaks the truce earlier than the daughter, the group is able to make it out of the vault because of the events shown in the movie.
Should be interesting to see what the final time loop brings. I think I will re post this comment on the main section because I just thought of all this lol.
@@writingref I think the film is in the 4th time loop. notice Maria's key pendant? The corpse that resembles Maria has a key pendant with 3 holes in it while Maria has 4, indicating that maybe this was the 4th time the team infiltrated the vault.
Also, The 2nd time loop was probably in the casino. There is a copy of the blueprint in the casino and some dead corpses lying on the ground. It could mean that Dieter wasn't there or Martin died early leaving them stuck in the casino. Dieter is the only one capable of opening the vault while Martin knows the way in the casino and in the vault.
And the 3rd timeline is in the fantasy scene, where Guzman's friend joined the team, Chambers is alive, Kate didn't join the mission and they successfully infiltrated the vault and took all the money. Now this gets interesting, maybe the US Government nuked the city unexpectedly. the 4 characters (Scott, Maria, Vanderohe, Peters) are the ones that died in the vault, hence, their corpses lying on the ground. And the remaining team either died on the rooftop, in the chopper, or in the casino while transporting all the remaining money.
When Zeus is celebrating the fact there there is a baby you can see 2 over in the left on the wide shot.
when they were escaping the vault area and Zeus's zombies were attacking, one shambler/alpha had blue eyes
not to mention when zeus was screaming and raising his dead kid in the air, there were literally like 6-10 glowing eyes among the pissed Z's
@@hebby_k755 aye
Its the one guzman shoots? Seams like hes a robo slayer
Yea he confirmed they were zombie robo hybrids
Pros:
-The characters and actors were great. They really delivered.
- Hints of Alien /robot zombie presented in a way to keep you guessing.
Cons:
-Lazy writing in order to move the story i.e.:
1. The 2 incompetent soldiers in the convoy lead vehicle. They were on a desert straight on which you would notice oncoming lights 5 min away. After HQ told them to leave the area to get the fuck out of there, Soilder still didn’t have his head in the game. After the 2 ran, they still didn’t have their heads in the game. The convoy could have easily included at least 1 attack chopper to take out the Alpha and any infected if things got out of hand. Why was the Aplha not bound in a body harness , head completely covered locked head gear? He was just in the container like he wasn’t dangerous wtf?
2. If retrieving a live head of one of the fast ones was the priority, why the subterfuge of the vault? They coyote and Martin and the camp guard was all that was required.
3. Everyone that went in with $ as a motivator was killed / infected regardless of experience while the daughter who went in humanitarian reasons survived.
4. Ghost had no idea he was lied to or the that Martin was going to betray them all, so knowing he was infected why would he not kill
Himself? Maybe he wanted to get the money to someone but he doesn’t strike me as the type of character to put the world at risk like that.
Final thoughts: Honestly the entire cast far exceeded the script. I could only recommend this to someone who was a fan of the zombie genre. As one I was disappointed in the overt message and weak devices used to push the plot.
i agree with the second "pro" only
Ummmmmm YEAHHHHH WHAT HE SAID
Not sure why he couldn't just do a straight follow up to Dawn of the dead,this had too many contradictions and elaborate nonsense to even be set in the same universe.
3 was the kicker for me like wtf really, and she showed no concern for the consequences of her actions and that she got pretty much everyone killed to save 1 person except for having to shoot her dad. Even then it didn't seem like much of a big deal for her smfh.
The script for the first hour was painful to sit through tbh. It only started getting decent after hour 1
The US also used a low yield tactical nuke, so there would be very little radiation fallout
@Abe Froman You guys are all wrong. This whole movie is a setup for Zack Snyder's Radioactive Man franchise :P
@@psn64sat63 I don't know why so many people think that the radiation would kill him. Maybe they watch Chernobyl and now think that is how all radiation is like.
He's also zombified, maybe zombie has more resistance to radioactive.
@Abe Froman bet you're fun at parties
@Abe Froman oh I bet, im laughing at you right this minute
am I the only one that thought not closing the container doors when they entered Las Vegas was a dumb move. giving the zombies access to the outside world
Las Vegas was destroyed
Like every other Door in the rest Of the movie ? Yeah they are being chased, but lock the door behind you..
Could have easily thrown a grenade in there
Yes, forgetting the important rule "Always close the door behind you in a zombie apocalypse"
Cayote said as long as we dont bother them they won't attack us. las vegas looked like a prison for us but for them it was their territory. That also explain why the queen and the other zombie didn't attack the group when they gave an offering.
My friend called this movie “the most resident-evil like movie we’ll never have”
Lmao I was saying to my sister that this reminds me of resident evil
@@daironhernandez1275 Resident Evil is better
Did he
Radiation sickness is not immediate. But he does look like he's suffering for intenradiation sickness onset, but the bite will eventually protect him (after he dies).
Radiation sickness absolutely is immediate, especially in the middle of a nuclear disaster zone.
I hope the time loop theory is real cos it would bring something really unique to the zombie genre. And maybe, the aliens could be involved with the time loop in someway.
Gotta get Dempsey in
@Charles Hastings like Travelers? Kinda.
@Charles Hastings it would be a great world if it can get some traction
No wonder they couldn't make it the first couple of times, seeing as to how dumb they acted in every situation...
Call of duty zombies also has a time loop
My favorite character turned out to be Chambers. She went out pretty hardcore. Surprised she did not yell out that Martin blocked her way out though. That scene in the hall full of hibernating zombies where she was killing them quietly then had to use her gun was insane.
Absolutely. She was my favorite. I hope during this time loop deal they resurrect her and make her a bigger part of the flick. She was the embodiemt of badd ass and feminine. I loved it!
She was tuff
Her intuition is crazy she had to be killed off. Felt so bad for her she's awesome.
Of course, she didn't yell that out. Guzman could also have saved her and then run away together, but no, they had to kill her just for the movie's sake.
I love that a character introduces the idea that rain brings dried zombies back to life but it's never seen in the film
A nice placeholder comment for the prequel / sequels we may get.
When I saw that I was like “oh nice foreshadowing”, and then it never happened so I 😑
@@bananaboy8416 its ok probably in the animation, dude this is a nice add in to the zombie genre and how zombies are never truly dead
Theres another zombie robot when guzman is holding them off when the coyote is sawing through the wall
@PromistNG the one before the grenade wall scene right?
YES I TOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES IT
@Pat Mckinnon I'm talking about the one where they throw a grenade down a hallway by the stairs and the guts fly by on the covering wall. One of the zombies has blue eyes
@Pat Mckinnon there’s definitely more blue eyed zombies.
@Pat Mckinnon yes there are. There’s one when the queen is brought back by Zeus and another in a different scene in the casino
I am wholly impressed how many terrible puns you managed to fit in in the shortest amount of time at the start. I think it’s some kind of record!
For Zack Snyder is the king of the slo mo nobody does it better than him.
Fun fact: When the zombies are running towards the building the group was in, there is a shot of a dead body which happens to be Martin (the traitor)
he got half of his head ripped off and turned to mush, that body was just a decaying corpse
@@edwardkenway1994 no because that was in an alternate timeline, it also explains why the tiger stayed at the parking lot
If the government wants the blood, why would they nuke the place. Also the time loop theory doesn’t make sense for at least two reasons. 1) Why would they be dead in the vault but not turned? 2) If the place is nuked before the loop restarts, the bodies would be destroyed and wouldn’t have been there to find.
@@Sandmtsawmill 1, they could've killed each other or by someone else. Or been electrocuted, idk.
2. In the loops, who says the place is nuked each time? When they find the blue prints, there are a few. Meaning each made it to that point without it being destroyed afterwards. Obviously something in this timeliness lead to them actually nuking it and them doing it sooner. I think it's mention during the news cast, how some were opposed to the nuking.
@@Sandmtsawmill martian kills them all at the entrance
Did anyone else notice the blue eyed zombie that Guz shoots when they’re down in the lower level? It’s quick and dark but when the zombie comes sound the corner and he shoots you get a quick glance of 2 blue light steaks that seem to come from the zombies eyes
Yeah as far as I've seen no one has mentioned it in a video
When Zeus ends up holding the dead fetus, in the takeaway shot you can see 2 robot zombies with glowing eyes, it's around the 1 hour 41 minutes and 57 seconds mark
Thenks
I saw them.
Why the hell would there be robot zombies? What is the purpose from making one? How is it relevant in the movie? And fid they even hint to it or foreshadow it?
Wouldn't it be better if you made a regular humanoid if you have intended to use it as a weapon?
@@tylerdordon99 the government monitoring the situation... that is the only way to make sense of it.
@@ArlindoBuriti What the hell do you mean? Why does the government need to make cyborg zombies to monitor the situation? Surely they could do that with drones, infrared, radar, etc. It just flat out doesn't make sense because there is nothing in the movie that justifies their existence.
Vanderohe in a safe is like Schrodinger's cat
He is a zombie or he is not
Doesn't work
🔥🔥
He was bitten in the arm at end of movie
We were shown only one possible future
Snyder: Fine, I'll make my own cinematic universe.
Me: Take my Netflix money!
If the just waited until after Vegas got nuked - they could’ve gone right to the shaft that lead to the vault.
Easy Japanesey 👍
@Damien Cloutier Is there anyway to get there with radiation suits? I would think that an nuclear explosion would have too much radiation though.
Except the goal was the lady zombies head
Or hear me out! It was just meta commentary and the “time loop” is really the fact that they’re characters in a movie and the loop is really us rewatching the film 🤷🏻♂️
@Damien Cloutier I mean people live in hiroshima and nagasaki right now, radiation goes away, it is a thing that happens....
@Damien Cloutier 😶🌫️
When Zeus comes out of the container he has heart monitor things on his chest which would be in line with monitoring a science experiment.
I think the robot zombies are from the aliens observing everything, cuz I believe it stated that Alpha turns people into his soldiers whereas if his soldiers get someone they just turn into normal zombies, so he if he had bit a robot from the government he would know that it was not real
I think the aliens and government work together. In the movie.
I actually never saw the lights above Area 51 shooting off till this video
same, pretty sweet tho.
The biggest plot twist I found was that the people actually looked for a plot in this movie.
If they're doing multiple timelines, I hope there is one where Chambers survives and Guzman isn't a complete idiot.
Honesty that’s the one reason I’d say it wasn’t a good movie. The stupidest things happened. Makes me wish I lived in a loop they don’t make dumb choices l.
she's my favorite character, it suck that she's the first one to go
Y didn't chambers yell out, dont trust him.. or fucking stop standing there at least
@@ryanmackenzie4981 yeah I didn’t understand why she didn’t yell don’t trust him
@@jameseditstv7662 really awesome movie, just filled with plot holes :/
that scene was eerie as hell, i’m not talking about zombies
i’m talking about time loop
anyone not noticed the corpse clothes are based our characters clothes wearing
@Q17 I think it's a set up for future films...
@Q17 the blue hawaii shirt corpse is actually female pilot was wearing the same shirt before entering zombie zone
and dave bautista corpse and along with his team are literally wearing same clothes there wearing right now
its time loop
@@joshuagraham2843 Dont forget the key necklace the chick was wearing.
Omari has an Omaga symbol branded on his chest in the scene with his shirt off in the desert. This lends to your theory of him being the Omega.
It’s a fraternity brand. Omega Psi Phi literally has their members branded. I watched my Mom’s friend get one in her college.
@@damediamonds8495 That's still a really strange thing that could work with the theory. Also, it makes me uncomfortable just how cult-like that seems. Why would anyone want to be branded? You're not likely going to be seeing them ever again once you're out of college and now you have a tattoo. Or...at least I hope it's just a tattoo.
@@zakle3805 oh I think you’re right. I was just saying. Hardwick said that it was Snyder’s idea. He seemed to know about the fraternity.
@@zakle3805 the branding is definitely cult like. It freaked me out as a kid. The members keep in touch and it’s a big thing. I didn’t want any part of it when I went to college.
The time-Loop wouldn't leave the bodies. It's more likely they're just other teams and a fear induce hallucination...
If leaving the vault enter a new timeline but Vegas was still leveled, he couldn't then return to convert Vegas...
Maybe something like the Aliens did a clone test like in the Resident Evil series, but... That comes with it's own issues...
you never know, there might be the possibility that those corpses weren't there to begin with. Maybe they can only see them, if I'm not mistaken I don't specifically know if they touched them? It was late when I watched so I don't remember specifically, but who knows. Also there is no way we can put logic to something illogical right, so time loop could very well leave the bodies, no one knows :)
There are plenty of movies with time loops that just leave the body there so you obviously haven't seen much time loop movies
@@JonathanRodriguez-iy6rq a "Time-Loop" is a reset in time, like "Groundhog's Day" so everything is reset including the bodies. If the bodies are still there that would be mean they entered a mirrored time-line. Unless say the bodies were caught in the temporal event that would cause them to travel to the beginning of the Loop.
What "True" Time-Loops have ever left bodies?
@@hebby_k755 I don't recall if they touched the ones in the vault, but they did touch the other "set" upstairs. You know the ones sitting around the table they grabbed the other Vault blueprints from.
But ya I think it was mostly mental...
@@redonslaught3019 I'll just take that as a no you haven't seen movies with time loops because everytime I seen one the bodies are there it's not to fucking get logical it's a movie and none of us as ever gone thru a dam time loop so don't try to justify it to me I could careless lol
I guess one of the timelines is when they get surrounded on the outside back to back in one of the scenes in the movie .
Agreed alien material helped create these zombies. The timeloop is interesting. I initially assumed the clothing it was a directorial choice to symbolically show other groups have tried and failed but not that it’s the same group. There was some more complexities to the film than on the surface.
I'm thinking timeloop as well due to the introductory credits. Its seems like they were already there.
@@LonnieLBrown in the opening scene they were rescuing the person in dark blue that looked like someone in the government and that’s why when Scott ward looked at the award of freedom or something like that he got from rescuing the person from zombies
@@Yeetyeet-or7yw I think that’s just showing the amount of times he’s gone inside to rescue people
hmmm I think it was just a throwaway gag in this instance so he could get meta and wax philosophical for a sec
@@LonnieLBrown They were there as a unit, which will be shown in the prequel. Maybe other members of their squad had the mission?
That Alpha/Omega timeloop theory is a massive revelation to me. The idea that the current Alpha is actually a previous Vanderohe, and the next Alpha will be the current Vanderhoe. The bite and delayed symptoms is something that might be related to radiation or time loop, Im not sure.
I do think the robot zombie is a government military drone to keep tabs on the zombies in Las Vegas
The time loop thing is from End of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise & Emily Blunt. An underrated Great action flick. Each proceeding time, Cruise's character gets more and more confident until finally he's Ethan on a Mission Impossible situation with alien monsters just as vicious as zombies.
Zeus bit Vanderhoe, because he respected his bravery. He only smacked him around to test his strength and durability. Im betting Vanderhoe will be called the Omega and he’ll be able to talk.
Vanderohe knew he got bit. He was using the scarf to cover it up the whole time
my question is why did it take so long for him to still not be turned at the end. Guess we don’t know when he actually got bit, but still.
@@DexterGrohl im assuming when he was getting out of the safe?
also maybe the radiation slowed it down?
@@DexterGrohl I believe it’s the radiation that seeped through the safe, that slowed the process down
@@mcfixer9503 my assumption is he stayed in the safe until after the nuke. When he comes out there’s literally nothing left, which leads me to believe he was bitten before he was pushed into the safe, which means he wasn’t effected by radiation until at least 20-30 minutes after he was bit... Batista turned in about 5-10 minutes and got a direct blast of radiation on the initial impact of the nuke while flying away in the helicopter... Vanderohe seems to know more than he was letting on.
@@DexterGrohl ward wasn't hit by radiation, that was a shockwave caused by the explosion itself
That moment when the camera pans out as zeus is holding a undead fetus looks very similar to the painting of the last supper 👀
Damn, I don't remember any paintings of the last supper where someone is holding up a dead fetus. Got to google that shit now just to be sure I didn't miss anything.
ughh, its neat that the movie has these weird little details, but its too bad that its not a great movie. I guess this animated prequel is happening, so that's something, but it seems like there are a lot of mystery boxes planted for exploration in future films, that could have just been used in this movie to be make it better.
I liked the movie a good bit but I gotta say the novel ideas are what worked for me and what dragged it down were the very cookie cutter aspects. Zombie hierarchies, zombie/heist genre bashing, and all the crazy different threads to follow like aliens, robots, time loops were all dope. The shoe horned gruff father/ distant daughter reconnecting arc, the frustrating sentimental pauses in the middle of dangerous situations, the formulaic procession of deaths of the crew, etc felt like a cool idea being forced into a hollywood mold
@@Dave-om4kv this! it’s like Snyder got all the freedom from Netflix and it was too much and he over did it. But in saying that I did enjoy it
Maybe one of the timelines is when Chris D'Elia is still in the movie. Maybe the version we saw is the only one where Scott recruited Tig Notaro
Loooooool that’s a good theory
Then Geetas children arnt safe.
I bet Chris is glad they took him out of this hot garbage 😂
@@Dazumu OH SNAP!!!! 😂😂😂
The zombs behaviour is A LOT like the ones in that Ghost of Mars movie that stars Ice Cube...
The guy that plays alpha zombie is the same guy from ghost of mars. He played the main villain.
@@bigbullsfan1 really wow!
Zeus's actor is the same as the boss of the ghosts.
@@dferrari6794 yup.
Maybe the zombies are possessed dead
Love your channel! Thank you!
The thing that bugs me is the “nuke”. There doesn’t seem to be evidence of radiation in Vegas after the bomb.
It’s low yield(pretty sure that’s he word), doesn’t have much radiation iirc
@@vain3743 do they explicitly mention that and I just missed it? I can’t remember if they specified that.
@@iLLiCiT_XL They specified it during a news broadcast during the start of the movie.
Netflix respected Zack Snyder and Army of the Dead is the result of it!
i think there is a loop version that lily and chamber get out in there alive with 200m dollars 😁
Bruh I would have loved to have seen a god of war situation where lily becomes friends with the queen zombie and it ends up being like Kratos and Mimir.
Zack said he’ll bring back the characters, as zombies at the very least
The first loop had chris delia
Yeah there's a timeline where they walk away with 2000 kilograms worth of money just the 2 of them. From the vault to the helicopter. Smart thinking. Lmao. Not physically possible hahaha. Yikes.
@@LiftYourGame its just a movie anything can happen
maybe they are all still alive ang get all the money and put in the chopper and hords of strong zombie came in surround them only peters, lily and chambers get out in there and the misile strike peters lost control and crush the chopper and peters did not survive only the two badass lily and chambers survive with the money.
the end
😂
I didn't expect for everyone to fkn die.
Kinda made me go "two or three dying is fine, but they all die and not even 0.1% of the money was spent? Come on"
Didnt the daughter survive? 🤔
Honestly, I was surprised that two people were still alive at the end (the daughter and the guy who was bit but hadn't changed yet). Just think of when he worked with James Gunn on Dawn of the Dead. It ends with a few escaping just to run into a horde of zombies and they all die.
@@Sharkky_ i don't think anyone cares about her lmao
This movie was either written by the guy that made Five Nights at Freddy's or by a 10 year old that just keeps adding stuff.
To milk a series out of it. Now that a new prequel coming out
@@Who-Uhm-Cares Army of the thieves didn't explain the plot holes
@@leroyvermilion7708 Not even about the zombies
Wasn’t it stated on the news channel that the nuke was low yield? Maybe the radiation wasn’t as high as your typical nuke?
Still even low amounts would last for years. He climbed out while it was still smoldering. Also, how did Scott get bit and turned in 10 mins but the dude at the end made a cross country trip before turning?
@@VNKNOWN_TX yeah that’s true 🤔 I always attribute transformation time to do with the character’s resilience. Like it clearly shows that, if the whole Alpha and Omega theory is true, he has Alpha attributes so he’s able to fit it a lot longer. Saying that though, most of it just goes down to requirements of the plot
@@iamjordanpass I would be pretty stoked if because of the radiation and the zombie alien virus he becomes like a “good guy zombie” that doesn’t quite turn but needs flesh to survive and goes after the government who wants to control zombies, if that makes sense. He seemed like too good of a dude and super philosophical to just become a zombie.
@@VNKNOWN_TX tbf, Scott had a chunk taken out of his neck, whereas the other guy had a simple bite on the arm.
@@aaronseidl5941 his bite barely broke the skin too where as Scott’s bite ripped flesh off
Really liked this movie. People don't realize that Snyder is a very wise man. He did not left strings just for nothing.
Many new possibilities can come in the upcoming movies.
No no no... They want to hate him and what are they doing is right... They went into theatre to watch a pop corn flick not expecting it to be screw their minds with so many references which they call plotholes... These fools are repeating that same foolish mistakes they did last time with DCEU... I will say let thses bunch of brainless and mean peeps carry om with their stupid and invalid opinions about ZS and his movies...
He's a hack and this movie sucked. So many plot holes it's not funny
You should not feel the need for "strings" to force people to come back. Make a good, well scripted movie and they will beg for more.
@@manofvalor4437 Cool little Easter eggs absolutely do not excuse terrible writing
@@manofvalor4437 The movie is full of plot holes and weird character decisions, like when Chambers broke through the glass door, and no one in the group bothered to help her. Also, Tanaka's whole heist charade was pointless, why not just have your loyal goons get the blood sample instead of wasting your time hiring outsiders and giving them a fake mission. Then at then end when the helicopter crashed, the movie just kind of forgets about Geeta lol
These plot holes might be addressed in the prequels, but filmmakers shouldn't really do that as the movie suffers from it.
With all that said though, this is a Zack Snyder movie, I knew what I was getting myself into and I still enjoyed the movie! The whole aliens, robot zombies, and time loops has me interested :)
You can see more of the blue "sparkles" from one of the zombie head shots in the hallway chase scene towards the end.
Anyone noticed the OMEGA scar on Vandero as he is digging up his saw.
I really want to see what’s up with the multiple time lines
I like the time loop theory too
So the loop is caused by the bomb?
@@trumplostlol5281 not confirmed and that’s to crazy for regular people to agree
@@trumplostlol5281 yes
Your Puns are killing me Paul!
Awesome ideas. Thank you for sharing them. It helped clarify some things for me!!!
Thank you for sharing!
I actually loved this movie. It was action packed and a different take on zombies.
How was it a different take?
I felt like I wanted to watch a zombie movie with David Bautista as directed by Zack Snyder, and that's exactly what I got. 5 out of 5, does exactly what it says on the tin!
@@LiftYourGame because the zombies there was three different types of zombies that's how.
JON RUSSELL I totally agree with you. I thought Zeus ( king zombie ) his Queen and Valentine ( zombie tiger ) were the best zombies I've ever seen in a zombie movie. Just my opinion
@@TheJoffgraham actually it doesn't say it's a zombie movie with Dave Bautista. It's a heist movie lmao that totally redefines the zombie genre lmao
yo Zues has dogtags on so it seems he is or was a soldier.
I thought the same when I watched it
I just explained it away as him being the original zombie from the beginning
yes he was def military
This doesn’t make any sense from the perspective of a time loop - if they stumble across their dead bodies from a previous ‘loop’ then it means they’re still in the same time
The only thing I can think is they are destroyed by the nuke each time and instead of "their bodies" going back in the time loop... the time loop restarts and everything from the moment of the blast is the same... but if that were the case... Las Vegas would be in nuked condition from every single blast. Doesn't make sense to me either. And wouldn't there be two of everyone, including the zombies?
Groundhog day 2: electric boogaloo
The loop begins before the bomb.
Multiple attempts were made before the nuke.
@@mrillis9259 so the nuke broke the loop?
Okidoki.... the infinite question... lol... Perhaps a case for Loki...?
Great video, I like the in- depth review!
Isn’t it odd how Zeus didn’t just outright kill him. Like he was pissed about his queen but took his time with him. Maybe Zeus knew more than we are led to believe
He tried to bite him..!!
Also dave(forgot his character name) didn't kill the queen. Zeus as you see, doesn't do the killing directly. He bites them and creates more advanced zombie
Tachyonic particles have never been observed or theorized. They're merely hypothetical particles.
Tell that to Dr. Rick Marshall and he'll laugh in your stupid little face.
Kinda like zombies. Lol
Really insightful video and it helped explain a lot I missed. Well done !
This movie has so many unexplained moments and unused chekov's guns it feels like it was originally supposed to have multiple endings
It struck me with the Alpha and Omega talk that this was the edge of tomorrow universe. Especially with the time loop. Maybe it takes place after the victory in live die repeat. They’re experimenting with the aliens blood and time manipulation ability and also explains the zombies telepathy link.
Oh look I was looking for this immediately after finishing the film. Perfect timing.
This is why i love cinema! Theories, ideas, and directors who still have a sense of creativity. This makes me happy
Pretty interesting theories and definitely love to see when they expand on it.
Richard Cheese--Down with the Sickness and Viva Las Vegas. Brilliant versions
All of the "cool hidden hints" seem like the kind of things LOST had going on before everyone figured out the writing staff had no vision for a greater picture and were just throwing stuff at a wall to see what would stick, ending up in a position where they had to write themselves out of a bottomless plot hole.
The whole evolution thing reminds me of Days Gone
Found you today and this video was fun to watch
I've only had time to watch it once, but I have a question that maybe someone could answer for me real quick: How does Guzman have a youtube channel where he's killing zombies, if the zombies are walled off inside Vegas? Is he sneaking in somehow? And if he is, why doesn't he know about the "arrangement" with the sacrifice required to get a little freedom to move around inside the walls, and why doesn't he know of Alphas and the tiger? Did I just miss something that explains this? I'm hoping to get a free two and a half hours to watch again maybe tomorrow, but I'm curious now!
X2
He made those videos before the closing off of Vegas I guess.
They were made before they locked down vegas, you can tell by the way the city looks in the video compared to the current look when they go in. You can tell there were years of decay in between
It as made before the lock down.
Zack did a great job on this movie I’m actually in a time loop of rewatching it lollll I would love to see Van as a hybrid! The robot agents are an incredible idea as well 👍
Loved it thanks
New here and wow! Going to binge watch now! 😍
When I first watched Army of the Dead I didn’t catch those Alien lights flying away from Area 51 when the Military Convoy picked up Zeus. I also didn’t notice the blue like spores that came out of Zeus’s head when he was blasted at point blank range inside the helicopter. I just assumed that Area 51 was home to other various experiments that don’t necessarily have something to do with Aliens. I totally feel stupid now. I also really enjoyed the new take on the Zombie Mythos. I thought Zeus was absolutely Badass! I actually wanted to see more of him in the movie and in a strange way, I didn’t want to see him get killed at the end. I think having the superior Alpha Zombies and the regular Shambler like Zombies was a nice touch that made a big difference in threat level. But thank you for explaining and exploring certain themes and details we may have missed. As always this has been a great video and I look forward to seeing the next one! Cheers!
I liked the movie, plenty of things that are interesting and mysterious
Very fun video! Thank you
Crazy ideas. Love it.
