Featured review
Zombies, robots and Dolph Lundgren...
Zombie movie with robots? Sure? Why not? But it is not necessarily a great combination.
"Battle of the Damned" basically have the most simple story lines of all times. A city in Asia has become afflicted with a virus that turns people into crazed killers. And corporate CEO hires military expert Max (played by Dolph Lundgren) to infiltrate the infected quarantine zone and bring back his daughter.
That was basically the storyline. And you get what you pay for here, a shallow storyline that is driven by the action alone. The story is not overly interesting or deep. It works for what it is intended to do though, and the movie is entertaining enough in itself.
As for the infected, or zombies, well first of all they were hyper-mobile and agile, running around and making odd bestial growling sounds. Two things that doesn't sit well with me, and that was a factor that pulled the movie down in my opinion. There isn't really any gore or mayhem here, as the infected are basically just Asian people covered in dirt, soot and wear torn and shredded clothing.
Action-wise, then "Battle of the Damned" is alright. Not super great, but it is enjoyable, and well worth watching a single time.
With the people hired for the various characters and roles, you know what you are getting for your money's worth, so don't expect Oscar winning performances here.
If you enjoy Dolph Lundgren's movies, then I am sure you will find some enjoyment in "Battle of the Damned". If you are watching the movie out of your love for zombies, as I did, then this movie doesn't really impress.
