Army of the Dead - 2021
There Will Be Blood begins with 16 minutes of wordless action, the thrilling score providing the only auditory experience for the viewer.
Army of the Dead begins with a solid 12 minutes of wordless action, a bevy of show tune remakes blaring away, providing the only means to stimulate our aurul capacities.
There Will Be Blood...this is not.
Or, again, think Ocean's Eleven, trading burly beefcakes for handsome A-list stars (and Brad Pitt eating. My God he eats a lot in that film). And zombies.
Only Ocean's Eleven is really good.
But this one has smart undead alphas who, you know, birth young and create societal structures and wear cool metal helmets to protect their squishy brain matter. Tig Notaro as a wisecracking pilot. Dave Bautista sans the half-specs from 2049. Now we're getting somewhere.
