Battle of the Damned (2013)

Fresh and Exciting

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

If you like such series like Resident Evil and Underworld you gonna enjoy Battle of the Damned (2013).The characters is boring and the action scene is unbearable with bad camera angle and lighting but if you want a midnight popcorn flick this movie might do the trick.There also bad CGI robot in there too

Awful, slipshod film another entry in the " Zombie Epidemic"genre but in this case and as various characters say a few times in the film, these are not zombies.They are infected, they can be killed by being shot anywhere, not just in the head or anyhow, stabbed, blown up etc, the only thing they have in common with zombies is they eat flesh.Film as you would expect " borrows" liberally from other films such as " World War Z" and "28 Days Later" both much better films than this.Even has the audacity to copy characters from "Day Of The Dead" and " Land Of The Dead".Dolph Lundgren looks old and bored and acts accordingly, and so will you be. The only interesting thing is the robots that walk around killing zombies, they are quite good. Poor film to say the least.

After a devastating viral outbreak, a soldier is sent into a quarantined city to rescue the daughter of an important businessman and enlists the aid of an army of robots to stave off the advancing zombie hordes and complete his mission.This is a highly enjoyable and absolutely entertaining blast of a zombie/action film hybrid. Moreso than anything else in the film, the biggest factor at work here is the fact that the film is just as much of an action film as a horror one. The zombies are kept as a great threat throughout because there's so many of them in here, and that forces the survivors to have to find several ways of dealing with them safely as they're always around, so there's a ton of confrontations to come through with the group forced to deal with the swarm in here from the supermarket brawl to the chase through the ghettos and finally the assault on the compound which starts in the best part of the film, the last act with the reinforcements. Coming through in the form of armor-plated, machine-gun toting robots, the sight of the two sides, with the human-survivors and the army of robots taking on the snarling, massive horde of zombies is a frenetic sight that's made all the more fun by having a ton of screen-time to really take in the action spectacle that's presented and is really overwhelming. The horror scenarios come from the threat of the zombies themselves keeping a high course of screen-time that allows them to really be treated and feared quite logically, and that their look is quite enjoyable makes this even better. Follow up with a countdown clock that must be kept in mind and it does work quite well in that regard as well, though the action in this is clearly the more central part of the story. That really only leaves one small factor here that doesn't really work, which is the long amount of screen-time needed to convince everyone of the move and trying to get them to come along. Since these are spent in their compound not a lot happens here and it does have some rather long moments where it feels like it's just going in circles trying to get her to come along and refusing without going anywhere or getting anything accomplished, and this leads to a pretty boring middle section of the film in between all the fun action bits, but overall it's a lot more fun and enjoyable than anything else.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Ever since "The Expendables" graced theater screens, it seems every veteran tough-guy star from the 1980s has become hirable again. Dolph Lundgren has starred in his fair share of straight-to-DVD action flicks in the past few years. He now moves into the sci-fi / horror B-movie arena with "Battle of the Damned." A movie that has Lundgren kicking butt and blowing away the "enemy" can only get better when you add zombies AND robots to the equation.Commander Max Gatling enters Thailand to rescue an industrialist's daughter from the clutches of populace infected with a virus that turns them into ravenous cannibals. He soon finds himself leading a small band of survivors across the destroyed city to be picked up by helicopter. As the masses of ferocious sick begin to overtake them, he does what any desperate hero would do to keep himself and his rag-tag group alive… he trains battle-ready robots to help take out every hungry creature they see.There's plenty of action, gore, and wanton destruction in "Battle of the Damned." It's about as good as it gets when diving into the world of sci-fi / horror B-movies. Did I mention robots? The real surprise with the robots is that they actually look good for a low-budget indie flick. The CGI used for them is quite convincing."Battle of the Damned" is rated R for violence throughout and language. There's lots of digitally enhanced blood splatter as Lundgren chops and shoots his way through the crowds of walking dead. Of course you can't kill zombies without shouting expletives. One thing the movie doesn't have is any nudity or sensuality."Battle of the Damned" will entertain anyone who loves B-movies that fit into the action, sci-fi, and horror genre. The best way to describe it is as a mix of "Night of the Living Dead" and "Escape from New York" with a sprinkle of "Battlestar Galactica" when it comes to the robots. If you can excuse some of the bogus digitally-enhanced explosions and fire, you'll find yourself pleasantly distracted for an hour and a half.
