Exactly that's the only thing I hate about this movie she caused most of the teams deaths she even got the one person she was trying to save killed like bruh I can't enjoy a movie with an idiot like that.
@@kurisu7885 not familiar with it. But as I see it, the nanomachines would probably be programmed to repair cells and replace damaged tissue with synthetic parts... but for ALIENS. The same Nanotech might keep corpses alive by replacing the function of nerves and such, while the brain may be too different from the alien brain for the AI in the Nanotech to fully comprehend how to fix it on its own, so it repairs what it can and essentially results in zombies with varied levels in intelligence and a persistent desire to eat the living.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
Another positive that may have been on purpose for the Super soldier theory is, if the body temperature reduces, this could make the soldier harder to detect. A decent portion of armies across the world have thermal gadgets and sights. A good example is a drone, mainly used thermal vision, this soldier would become invisible due to a lower body temperature possibly. Although I feel the directors may not have thought of this, it seems as if the military wanted a super soldier, this would have been something they would have wanted.
It honestly depends on how low it's temperature is and the ambient temperature. If it's 90° outside but ur at 96.8°, you'll definitely stand out. But ur body temp is somehow at 90°, u might or might not blend in with the ambient temperature.
@@dukedizzy Again, which means nothing if we don't know the ambient temperature. Also, skin temperature is different than core temperature. 103°f-104°f core temperature will literally start cooking ur brain. But as long as we stay hydrated, we can survive in temps over 110, I worked in an area for a whole year where the normal temp at the heat of the day was 120, I lived. Surface temp isn't always the same as core temp.
@@dukedizzy Also forgot to mention that thermals will detect you if you're colder than your environment also. Planes are typically at a temperature that's not hot, nor cold. So probably around 60°f-70°f. She said his skin was metaphorically freezing, so he's definitely colder than the ambient temperature. Which would show up on thermals.
I'd say yes. But only if you also removed its arms. I saw this explored in The Walking Dead and it was so interesting to me :) Like you could literally put the zombie on a leash and walk that bitch like a dog.
Yes you could rip it's jaw off but there is still a chance they can infect you. They don't need their teeth to infect you because they're not like snakes who inject venom into you. They're more like Komodo dragons who use their saliva in their bites to immobilize animals. As long as a zombie still has its saliva or some form of bodily fluid it just needs to somehow get that inside your body. So an open wound or your mouth/nose/eyes, if you got swarmed by a crowd of jawless zombies they could use their overgrown nails to basically rip into you and then just drool in the wound
'Homo' is the 'human' part of the nomenclature. 'Sapien' represents the evolutionary stage. Once we moved past sentience, into self-aware sapience, we became Homo-sapiens. Though, 'Techno-sapiens' could still work for when an A.I. inevitability achieves sapience. Though it's likely the nerds will go the boring route of 'Mechano-sapiens'.
"Someone said I was a mediocre movie review channel lol hope yall enjoyed this one" It's unfortunate they think that way, you cover some of the most fascinating topics in fiction, but don't listen to the haters, your content is really good in my opinon
There are hints that there are aliens in the movie too. In the opening when you see the convoy leave the base and passes the gate, in the sky behind the soldier there are 2 lights floating in the sky which suddenly take off to fast to be planes or helicopters
I mean, Zeus doesn't seem like a mean guy. He has a system in place, he just wants to be left alone, and he probably feels like he got a raw deal by being infected in the first place.
Van had a small bite that didn't even cause a lot of tissue damage. Scott had a huge chunk ripped out of his neck/shoulder and then was in a massive helicopter crash. Scott experienced more trauma and reached the point of death quicker.
Machines could be the government watching like zombie drones. Aliens are definitely part of it as you see two blue lights fry off at the beginning of the film
The deep conspiracy theory both IRL and in the movie, Government Black Ops are actually working with and have contact with advanced foreign civilized beings that are very poorly explaining how their tech and science works with the lost in translation winding up with Zeus in the movie instead of a clean Human cyborg evolution.
You know man, you really hit a spot with your channel. Basically everyone wonders ‘what caused this disease, is this virus realistic, could this actually happen etc’ congrats. WE shall subscribe.
I believe somewhere in his subscribers there's a supervillain just sitting there watching his videos saying "yes yes very good Roanoke" as he plots to take over the world with zombies lol
The reason for the whole outbreak was the fact that the military was stupid enough to use a truck that had an explosive engine and that they used a fragile container that can go fly like a paper box and opens with ease from the landing. You would think they would use some insanely though and hard to open container if they transport such cargo as a highly contagious virus. Very informative breakdown btw, i really loved it.
I really appreciate the term force multiplier on your reviews. It is a succinct description that covers quite a few technical angles. Do you use it to confound the Almighty and Everpresent Utoob Overlords? Your efforts are well crafted and enjoyable to watch. I hope you will continue far into the future in this endeavour.
Wait, does that mean Zeus was going after the Queen’s head because he could still reattach it to her body? Or an other alpha body? Since you said the body could still be “alive” just without a head to give the nanites instructions?
Possible and a very good idea. Before this I just thought he wanted to save his wife’s head so she’d still be in his life and he’d carry her around, but that makes a lot of sense.
Ooooh… But then that brings up the question of whether he was going for the head because she has a distinct personality that sets her apart from other alphas. That it’s “her” he wants not just her body. If so, could all alphas have distinct personalities retained from being human? Since they are the most advanced/ have the most amount of nanites after Zeus like Roanoke was saying in video. Or he could just want a memento of her like @Stinger Johnny was saying and I’m over thinking things🤔😋
Zach Snyder was asked about the “robot” zombies in an interview and he answered the question with a question. His statement was this, “If you pay close attention, there’s a number of zombies that are clearly not zombies. You see normal zombies and then you see some robot zombies. Are they monitors that the government has placed among the zombies to monitor them? Are they technology from the other world? What’s happening there?” It’s also important to note he’s already announced a show that will build on the Army of the Dead universe. So, the question of nanotechnology being present could be answered in the show.
As much as there totally are dots to connect here based on how he makes movies that was him desperately asking people so they could make the connections for him because he just did a lot of things that sounded like it would look cool to film.
@@rosesweetcharlotte IMO this detail was executed poorly. They contributed nothing to the story while confusing the audience. It is one of many details that were set up but had no payoff. The corpses wearing the protagonists' outfits, the rain zombies, the circular saw, and now robots. When you introduce something like that, you have to give a narrative reason why. At least hint at something. All Snyder did was show a few zombies with blue eyes and a metal skull. It could literally mean anything. That's bad world building
that’s not “bad” world building at all. itssimply world building. this is the first movie of a franchise. they are not going to answer any questions yet, that would make no sense. this is where they pose questions and leave hints, then see what the audience are interested in. Although i’ll admit the corpses in the protagonists clothes is really weird and not in a cool way, and does seem pointless at the moment, seems to have no connection to anything or fit with the themes we’ve been shown so far, but could link to something later down the line so i wouldnt say its dumb, this universe could go down a weird time travel route or something, we just don’t know yet
@@jesuschrystler777t would be more accurate to say that it’s awful storytelling. Literally a bunch of unfired Chekhov’s guns that ultimately lead to dissatisfaction.
Omg thank you so much for finally explaining that phenomenon in a way I can understand, there has only been one time in my life I have experienced that, and I hope to never do so again. A friend of mine swung by my house with someone I had never met in tow. His whole demeanor was just, off. I can’t describe it. I’ve never wanted more to be away from another person in my life. They talked about how he was hosting some kind of sleepover, and I had absolutely no intention of going. He was just. Calm. Way, way too calm. I still to this day dont know what it was exactly that I saw in his eyes, and to be entirely honest I’d rather not ever find out.
My friends met a girl in college and they invited her everywhere. I refused to be anywhere near her, she rubbed me the wrong way. One night they had a party, everyone was passed out drunk, except her. She stole all the money in everyone's wallets, collected their credit cards and if they had their SS card on them she attempted to sell it. Yes, she did some time. When asked how I knew she was bad I just did
Wait did they explain how they crossed the ocean to other continents and such too? I haven't had the chance to watch the movie but seeing people talk about the swim thing makes me curious about that
Hey, i have a theory: what if the transmission of the nanites from bites and the decreace in intelligence from it are intentional, i mean wouldnt it be a pretty good weapon to have these supersoldiers sneak behind enemy lines and cause chaos by turning the enemy, and the decrease in intelligence is just a way to keep them in some control?. The control the zeus has on the alphas could be another intentional thing so the moment they infect an enemy soldier it dosent attack them.
Then they would have some more efficient way of turning the enemy, like via spit or even some biomechanical syringe gun. Most likely nanites just aren't very compatible with brain, unable to replicate functions of larger neurons, that are responsible for more advanced behavior, which causes overall degradation of brain functions.
I am generally just here for the movie summary, sometimes i listen into the pathology for a little bit but generally i watch youtube to not use my brain. You're probably my favorite synopsis channel I have yet seen, a lot of channels either use bots or have a strangely nauseating cadence to the way they speak or just an annoying voice overall. You speak intelligently and without a weird cadence so 10/10 from me.
Literally every Zack Snyder film. It looks good but you have to turn off your brain to enjoy it. He is basically Michael Bay but throws around some pseudo philosophical bs to appear smart.
Here's a horrifying thought, what happens to the nanites coding after enough generations of shamblers? Will they keep the replication part and drop the life support part?
@Caesar tyr the requires living cells part can be worked around, imagine a core of cells that the nanites feed and protect to use in replication, you get a dangerous nanoswarm that mutates further as the original coding degrades
That implies that the nanites have the ability to change their code over time, code doesn't degrade like DNA does, as while machines don't make mistakes, the user/ programmer is fully capable of doing so, resulting in the machine following an incorrect instruction.
@@captainpanic3616 except coding does get more and more corrupted the more its copied, every computer image will suffer from artifacting that gets worse the further you get from the original image, works the same with actual software being copied to flash drives
@@liamzakhaev You bring up a good point, I was looking at it more from a javascript or python perspective (for blank in list do x, y, and z) that stuff can’t break or change unless something is added/ changed. That break in the program is now a ‘bug’.
Fun fact about the mirrored neurons, often the ones who are most consistent with that are the neurodivergent. As a lot of us are able to separate emotions from logic, our instincts and impressions are much clearer without any bigotry being a part of it. Certain psychologists consider this to be a proof of the latent extra sensory capabilities of the human brain and liken this response to empathetic abilities. In esp studies, empathetic abilities are the emotional mirror of telepathy, so instead of reading thoughts, it's reading emotions. It's one of those studies that are hard to conclusively prove, but it's quite fascinating. I've experienced these responses a few times personally and they're almost always right. I also experience similar responses in hospitals around more ill patients, not a sense of them being dangerous or untrustworthy, but the anxiety towards their lack of survival.
she was preggo before she was infected in dawn of the dead remake, causing basically a undead still birth. plus these zombies look more like theyre actually alive lol.
It's been hinted that alien DNA was what was used to create the zombies. If you look at the right moment when the military are exiting the gate in the distance you can see two lights shoot off into space. If you ask me, the robot Z's are likely spies, sent to monitor the alphas to see if they are still useful. And as for the group, and the whole "time loop" theory, I think the group may be clones, sent time and time again to see if the perfect soldier could be created, since Zeus was not controllable. And Van, he may be that perfect soldier, or at least different in some way considering how long it took him to start to change and how he managed to walk fine through a recently nuked city.
I was waiting for a breakdown of this film, annoyed it took so long to notice it was released but still well worth the wait. I knew you’d be one of the only channels to actually deep dive into it and you did not disappoint!
I wonder if Zack Snyder was influenced by Dying Light? I mean, it does take place in a quarantined city with normal and evolved zombies. Plus, I also like how the zombies established their own heirarchy/society.
I kind of got I Am Legend vibes in all honesty. That movie has infected that do still retain some form of intelligence but not to the degree of the infected in AOTD
I just assumed he asked some elementary school kids to talk about zombies, and then made a movie based around their conversation. My point being: latest in a long line of complete fucking nonsense from this guy.
Couldn't stand her or the other backstabbing harpy. Our "heroines" in 2021 ladies and gentlemen! Two "strong women" that gets an entire team killed! *Golf claps.*
In A Quiet Place, the aliens do swim but only in shallow water, not deep water. So while they might not be totally aquatic, the idea that they lived in shallow water isn't unrealistic. It'd make sense for them to like shallow water too since they might be heavy, using the heavy to move fast on land but still having quick a lot of weight on their joints out of water
I always just figured since they are so big and heavy they would sink in deep water. In shallow water it wouldnt matter as much since they could use that to walk faster along the bottom. I don't think they can float which isnt that a needed part for swimmng?
@@ravenlockwood9932 Nah, floating isn't a needed part of swimming if you're strong enough. Technically humans with near 0% body fat (so athletes like gymnasts and stuff) sink and *only* can float if they keep their lungs fully expanded, and even then they have to use their hands to help kept them up if they're on their backs. Basically by how water works, anything can stay above water if it has enough strength to propel itself against the viscosity of the water. Something made of metal might sink but that has more to do with the fact that this hypothetical Terminator type machine doesn't need to breath so it doesn't bother using it's immense strength to keep it above the water. Also in A Quiet Place, the aliens have a large chest and judging by their size alone (even if they are very much mostly muscle because we can see it move) they have to have large lungs/things to process air. If they were… I dunno totally "powered" by heat/the sun their bodies would look different. They're probably, however, closer to something like a gator/croc in terms of "how does something that big manage to swim." I doubt they would live in deep deep waters or even really be able to do things like what seals do because they don't seem to be *that* well built for semi-aquatic life.
@@ravenlockwood9932 They could hold their breath and walk along the bottom of deeper water too but then there's always strength to swim and well there's the sunfish that can't move and has about 0.2 brain cells. It's kinda sad that the aliens can't swim or walk on the bottom in deep water
I absolutely LOVE the hypothesis you present that the hypothetical nanites at the root of the infection are converting substances in the body into an armored material the further out the infection spreads. I think that it's entirely possible we could see "Special Infected" in a sequel film, where the infection has spread so much that bestial, nigh completely cyberized variants of the infected begin to show up: Bones reinforced or replaces by a self-generated metal alloy, power and durability amplified but intelligence so greatly diminished they act purely on survival impulses, twisted from "fight or flight" to only "fight." Really, I just love the idea of a zombie apocalypse caused by malfunctioning super-soldier nanomachines instead of a typical viral infection. The possibilities for crazy shenanigans that canonically make sense abound! Cyborg Zombies! What's not to love about that concept, hahaha~
It's better than the ACTUAL explination that Hack Snyder gave. He said the metal zombies were robots put there by the government to monitor the real zombies. Yes, that sounds completely stupid and makes no sense, but it's what he really said.
Zombies are my favorite horror villains, and I am forever thankful for your scientific breakdowns, Roanoke! I almost always enjoy your summaries and hypotheses more than the movies or games themselves!
Man. I don't pay much attention to celebrity drama and all that nonsense but. Unnamed-recast man was literally one of my favorite comedians. Now I'm just sad all around.
2 minutes and 50 seconds in, the question, why are there one 2 humvee escorts, and why did the lead avoid the car? When it comes to escorting mission doesn't the lead vehicles hit oncoming vehicles to protect the Cargo/VIPs?
Standard operating procedures or SOPs determines everything about a convoy and operations. Most of the time when we are in a convoy stateside we normally wouldn’t expect something that wild
@@jaquanzxcxz that's understandable, so was it the mindset being stateside that made them evade the oncoming vehicle instead of ramming through and protecting the cargo? I always thought that in transport convoy the lead would always take the brunt of the oncoming vehicles to protect what they're transporting. Oh and thanks for the insight
Most of the time in your home country an escort is only really there if youre getting hijacked or something, american SOPs are potentially different as I'm with the UK, but you're normally only there for if someone actively attacks the convoy, not if someone crashes into you *I know that's an odd distinction since you could assume someone crashing into you is attacking* But otherwise the army would be driving around ramming people off the road for driving a bit shifty which doesn't really come across all that well for hearts and minds
@@MuckyBeef I guess my insight is a bit biased since I live in the Philippines, and there was at some point, an idiot driving a car that didn't see the military convoy of 5-tons and swerved onto them, the military just went straight through and left him there with his damaged car. Though they were going in the same direction .
Its internal temp tho, which is why without sufficient water and shade many people die every year here in AZ. I know someone who has no (or severely insufficient) sweat glands and as such her internal temp can get how of hand rapidly, so shes lives up by the Canadian border most of the time and stays inside in ac whenever theres warm weather
Thankfully, since you’re a warm-blooded creature, your body’s internal homeostasis keeps you at 98° regardless of the temperature, save for extreme conditions
My favorite part of this movie was the intro: Las Vegas being over run and the military being overwhelmed. I want a movie focused around that. Sadly that napalm strike is the closest we will get to The Battle Of Yonkers
@@rosesweetcharlotte to me that is the fun part of the zombie apocalypse. I wanna see a Black Hawk Down esc movie of a military or police unit attempting to hold a major city as it falls.
@@rosesweetcharlotte Fear had so much potential but they time hopped over the really good parts. The first few episodes of the whole creeping apocalypse had me hooked

Ok, to be fair. While tomatoes are botanically a fruit, in terms of cooking they are a vegetable. Same with how in the cooking world mushrooms are vegetables.
By most definitions of vegetables, most if not all edible (mature) fruit are in fact vegetables, while mushrooms are incapable of being vegetables because they are fungi, not plants.
@@karakas9905 Also yes. Cucumbers are fruit. WELL. More precisely, cucumbers are a type of vine plant with the edible portion we are all familiar with being its fruit.
@@Recoil1808 Yes, in terms of science and all that you're 100% correct. Though the point I was making is that the cooking definition of a vegetable is basically "plant-ish thing we can eat", whereas fruits are more specifically sweet plants. So regardless that they're not even plants, you'd be expected to call a mushroom a vegetable in the kitchen.
@@BorzoiSpotProductions Out of every possible definition of "vegetable" (and there are in fact several), only one of them that I have ever seen anywhere is mutually exclusive with fruit, and that same definition is mutually exclusive with fungi. Also no definition I have ever seen in my life requires fruit to be sweet.
Wow a Zombie outbreak in Las Vegas metro area would make a great extraction-style PvPvE game! Have the large residential areas, suburbs, commercial areas, big international airport, and the strip. Not to mention serious military assets and installations - Nellis AFB, Area 51. And don't forget the storm drains! Limitless possibilities for quests and interesting things to find.
i like how the movie mentions if the zombies get wet after they dehydrate and turn into mummy's (essentially) they reanimate....and that never comes to play in the movie... i like that they take a minute to show one of the dehydrated hands of the dead was blocking a hatch from fully closing and walking...and it never comes to play in the movie... i like that they show zombie robots...and that is never explained in the movie... i like that they are sent into the city to steal money from a vault before a nuke was dropped on the city...for it to then turn out that the vault was strong enough to survive the nuke on it's own...and that the one guy inside it also survived the radiation poisoning that he would have been at the center of before having to basically walk to where ever he went at basically ground zero for the nuclear explosion... i thought there was some cool things about the movie, the cast seemed passable, but hot damn, you can't do a snyder cut for everything man...
I don’t get the quiet place swimming thing. There’s a big ass difference between a flooded basement and a lake. No reason it couldn’t move through the basement water since it still had footing.
@@ded2thaworld963 I mean, not really, movies have to be grounded, at least in the confines of their fictional worlds, the problem with a Quiet Place is it does this, but tries to present it's world close to our own. So, we have to judge it by its own standard, which just simply doesn't work, heavy artillery and weapons be a thing, if there is only a few of these creatures, even if there were more, the military would decimate it. It's probably why every zombie thing is vague with the uprising so you don't have to think about it. This film is an exception because the military are actually somewhat confident. If it were me though, since headshots still work, I would have put snipers on top of the wall to opo shot as many zombies as possible. Then you know, carry out the missile strikes...
I don't regret watching this movie. But I would not recommend it to anyone nor watch it again. I never wanted a zombie movie to end so bad. Zack Snyder just wanted to blow stuff up
The movie was terrible, it tried to be so many things and failed at all of them combined with a terrible execution of the story and extremely stupid and unlikable characters it was just awful
Thanks to these videos Ive started seeing deaths in movies pretty brutal. Before I was just like, oh, shit, well they're dead. Now I'm like, genuinely surprised whenever a death like that happens. I'm like, oh, someone's gonna die her- OH JESUS HER NECK 🤣🤣
This whole thing could have been avoided if Hollywood wouldn’t insist on military convoys that ride on each others ass instead of 50-100m apart per convoy SOP. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine.
I still think those Zombies were Cyborgs, maybe they weren't on Vegas at the time and we're introduced later. At the very least, the presence of the UFOs kinda implies Aliens either have somethin' to do with it, or will intervene.
Fun fact: in the beginning of the movie when the convoy moves out of the base, look to the clouds in the background. You'll see 2 bright lights that quickly fly off. I picked it up when someone made a comment on a video about this movie. So my guess is that it has something to do with Aliens. Edit: at 16:41 you'll see the 2 bright lights
In addition to the robotic zombies (which I believe are actually robots confirmed by snider) seen throughout the movie 2 UFOs can be seen leaving the area 51 area at the start of the movie (you can actually see them in your vid) also throughout the movie several previous teams can be seen as corpses that are wearing the exact same uniforms and gear (not just the ones in the vault) all with different levels of progress hinting that the time Loop Theory May hold some ground. So the running Theory among people who have noticed is that this virus or whatever is somehow tied to alien technology and that the robotic zombies hidden throughout various scenes are actually government or alien plants sent there to monitor the situation and there's a Time Loop repeating itself until eventually the virus gets out of Vegas which was the original plan. Most of this has been confirmed by Snyder himself
the glowing eye / robot zombie appears also in the scene when he brings the queen's body back, hes standing on one of the sides. i heard some where like you said theyre expanding the universe. supposedly the government sent in robot zombies to spy on what was going on in Vegas. it will be brought up in one of the next shows.
Option B: CRSPR Modified Fungus, we have plenty of Fungi that can pretty much do the same thing as the nanites including metal deposits and acting as a backup nervous system piping like juices through the body. Genetic Degradation would burning holes in the brain reducing the meatsuit to an animal from failed reproduction/cloning would produce similar results. the Blue Glow is also a thing in a number of "Healing Fungus" and is likely why healing potions in games glow blue too.
Another way a bodys temp drops is in newborns. When my son was born some how right after he was born he got pneumonia. When we went to our day after appointments for getting out of the hospital from him being born and me giving birth his temp was 96.9° . We were sent straight to the hospital and he ended up having to stay a week and got two different kind of antibiotics. They told me that newborn typically dropping in temp when they're sick instead of getting a fever.
It honestly was and I felt horrible Bec I didn't realize anything was wrong with him. He was super quit but the docs said some baby's were like that so I just trusted the docs. they told me if that doctor hadn't caught his low temp he would have died at home.
@@katelynnoverton1742 This is gonna sound awful and I'm not saying my cat is like a baby, but when we got my cat, we found out weeks later that she was incredibly sick. We just thought cats slept a lot. You just go in thinking that babies and cats behave a certain way and it is really crazy when you find out that that isn't exactly the case. I hope your baby is doing better!
Whilst I was reading a book, one of the characters really bothered me. The character didn't do anything outwardly suspicious, but I just didn't like him. Later in the series, it turned out he was an evil dragon demon prince. If that sounds too weird, check the book series out, it's called Fablehaven. The two main characters are so incredibly boring, but I think that's the point...
Roanoke: Lists all sorts of reasons why Zeus was probably a soldier. Also Roanoke: Ignores the multiple scenes shown in the video where you can see him wearing dogtags.
I really enjoyed this movie especially in a time where we haven't gotten a good zombie movie in years. I feel like this film handles the "zombie super soldier" very well as it seems the whole point of the virus is the name sake, a viral weapon that can be controlled via chain of command to the point where the zombies kind of ended up being Unga bunga society. The idea of zombies showing a degree of intelligence, respect and understanding didn't sit right with me as a zombie fan initially but as I kept watching I was on board with the idea.
Interesting theory. There are some holes in it though. Zack Snyder has said that there are some zombies who aren't quite zombies. The ones with metal skeletons and blue eyes are robot zombies made to keep tabs on the real zombies.
The movie was mediocre but the implication that the Superior Alpha Zombies are capable of *Reproduction* is truly unsettling! These alphas remind me so much *I am Legend* Infected
My take on the whole robot zombies thing, along with the presence of UFOs and Area 51 at the beginning, is that basically the government took an alien virus (as an homage to Night of The Living Dead with the space virus causing the zombies) to create super soldiers, then Zeus got out, and the events of the filmed happened. The alien goo is the blue stuff and why the alphas are technically alive and can reproduce, as the sub alphas bite other people and so on, their alien viral load effectively lowers and makes shamblers. As for the robozombies, I figured that was most likely either the aliens or the government putting in what are effectively surveillance drones disguised as zombies to keep an eye on what the alphas are doing and trying to salvage as much data as possible from the tribe. Once one of the zombie robot spies saw that they could reproduce, thats when the government decided to shut the whole thing down as it was about to get too far outside their grasp, and nuked the place. I like the nanobot theory but I think it's a little far fetched. Then again we're talking about a zombie movie with UFOs cyborg zombies and time loops or alternate realities or something, so who knows. Great video though as always!
I guess I’m the only one not seeing the robot part, I did see the intense blue eye socket. It’s just not clear (IMHO) that it’s a terminator eye. I saw some blue glow\ goo that still fits in the experimental idea of crossing a soldier with alien goo or nano tech. I enjoyed the movie, but it was not a good movie… if that makes sense. Very fun to watch. I liked the whole invasion opening with the families and slow mo kills. The acting seemed bad though, which was weird because the actors were not bad actors…. Mayb it was the writing? I was just *Spoilers!!!* disappointed about no rain reanimated zombies or other zombie animals. A whole city and one tiger & horse? Give me some alien zombie demon dogs. It at least could have been a nod to resident evil. And having the people go in to get money to leave the camp? That whole camp there was weak sauce. But I would (embarrassed to say) love ❤️ ❤️ a sequel!! If in. If in Mexico city we get a blue glowing chupacabra or ahuizotl or huge atotlin…. I want a zombie alien bird!!!!!! 😂
The only thing is you see two “UFO” like lights fly off at the beginning of the movie when they’re at the military base. So I feel like they may be going the alien virus/ experiment route.
