Good start, but then it gets ruined

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I was gonna watch this movie anyway because it had Lundgren in it, which i always watch his movies pretty much like Van Damme or Seagal, no matter how bad they may look. Lately he have been putting some weird concepts, but hey, the guy want to do something else than typical gangster b movies, so why not? I notice it was free to watch on xbox live tonight, even in french, that was nice from them. So even tough i was tired and not really prepare to watch a Dolph movie(no beer and such lol) i gave it a shot and i actually liked it.Its a good little zombie movie with some weird concepts and ideas but that don't actually look bad at all. For example the robots, at first i was like "WTF" but they actually squeeze them fine in the movie, they don't look over the top fake or anything, actually i really liked them.Its weird tough that the biggest annoyance in the movie to me was Dolph's condition. I never noticed that before, but in this movie every time he TRY to run, he barely lump, they show it way too much at the beginning, its like he can't barely follow, and as the movie progress they use jump cut and camera angles to never show him running.The action sequences are also a bit chaotic, with lots of shaky cam, and the zombies seem to die too easily, even tough they mention there not typically zombies and can die like any human. But all the characters seem to dispatch them with ease without never getting bitten even at very close range until they are overwhelmed for the typical zombie death scene.In any case, its a very low budget unusual Dolph movie, and yet i had fun watching it. It was free to watch, and just the name of the character, MAX GATLING, would deserve an extra point in my book. :DI was very tired, it was over 3 am, and yet i never fall asleep and remain interested until the end. The characters are "ok", not epic but not forgivable as you would expect beside maybe 1 or 2.So yeah a good little movie, just don't expect a major production and you should have a good time.

Dolf Lundren is Major Gatling, an elite mercenary hired to rescue a wealthy industrialist's daughter in a city quarantined by a military blockade. The city is isolated because a deadly virus was unleashed and turned the population into rabid zombies(infecteds)similar to those seen in 28 Days Later. While Battle Of The Damned is not nearly as terrifying or as good as 28 Days Later, BOTD is much more survivalist action than horror and a good one at that. If you are only watching this film because you are a Dolf Lundren fan, you need not worry as there is tons of action in this flick. The tone is dark enough and taken seriously to please most horror fans that have seen lots of stuff like this before. Compared to much of what's out there in the zombie/horror genre the gore level is relatively low, but this action packed piece is well done and plenty entertaining.Dolf has great screen presence and he along with the rest of cast had no problem selling this science fiction nightmare with solid acting performances. Overall, Battle Of The Damned is a good low budget(not low quality) zombie/action film worth watching for fans of the genre. I also thought the robots that show up later are cool also.

Following a deadly viral outbreak, private military soldier Max Gatling (Dolph Lundgren) leads a handful of survivors and a ragtag band of robots against an army of the infected.I know the 1980s are over and action films are not what they used to be, but I have to feel sorry for Dolph. Not only for being in this film, but being used to sell it. Without his name attached, this might never have gotten Anchor Bay's attention (and we might all be better off).Early on the camera work is terrible. This improves, but the plot never does. I mean, nothing really new or different happening here. I did like the robots and thought it was clever to use robots against zombies (or whatever they are)... but that was not enough to make up for everything else.

I was curious to watch this film and I was expecting it to be a real tragedy. Nevertheless I was wrong. First of all, I would like to mention that this is an 100% b movie, not only in terms of budget but also in terms of plot, acting and effects. If you do not stand this facts do not bother with it. Acting is mediocre, effects are not of the best quality and the zombies are sometimes funny. However, the idea is original: what would happen if robots were pitted against zombies and Lundgren was somewhere between? If you like to spend sometime and forget about your everyday problems by watching a brainless, non plot action movie like this, then....why not?
