If you ever wanted a zombie-heist-epic directed by Zack Snyder, then there you have it.
There are certain things, that were not that great, but on the entertainment level plus this film delivers (and why else would you watch a Snyder-film, except for the action).
The visuals are awesome, the epicness of the action-sequences is great, the pace is a bit slow, but that was okay for me.
But, putting in the heist-genre and then the whole heist is *spoiler* completely useless, the film itself loses in meaning. There are emotional scenes and emotional cores put to many characters (although there are really many filler characters), for example to Kate and Scott, but the zombies themselves got some character arc and emotion, which was interesting but in the end it felt a bit random, because they introduced that, but never relied on that in the end for any twist.
All in all, this zombie-film brings three new aspects into the zombie-subgenre: emotion, heist and epicness (in terms of being a 2 and a half hour long movie). The plot itself is a bit underwhelming in terms of what you might expect, but the visual stunning sequences and the emotional aspect make this epic a little better than it would have been, if it was only a zombie-heist-film.
