Navy Seals: Battle for New Orleans

Navy Seals vs. Zombies (English) 1/10 Genre: Action/Horror/real crap Director: Stanton Barrett Cast: Ed Quinn, Mikal Vega, Damon Lipari, Michael Dudikoff Year: 2015

I don't know who makes this kind of crap and even bigger question, why did I watch it? I guess only because of Michael Dudikoff as it's his comeback film after 10 years although his screen time is not more than 5-10 mins. I have seen a lot of bad films but this one is a whole new level of bad film, it's like the Ben Hur of crappy films. Normally I don't like to criticize films no matter how bad they are as an appreciation for the people who put in their hard work but this one surely doesn't deserve any. Two minutes into the film and I knew I made a huge mistake of watching this one. I felt asleep ( I swear to God I did) and only if I didn't have this principle to finish a film once I start watching it no matter how bad it is I would have never dared to complete this film and turns out to be the most painful experience I ever had and I was desperately waiting for it to finish. Acting, direction, story, editing, sound and everything else is horrible and I think the best part of the film was it's trailer. Just to give you an idea of what's in the plot, Five Navy Seals go on a rescue mission to save the Vice President of the United States in a town infested by Zombies. I mean really, you will just send five guys with one chopper (not sure how did they manage to got the chopper) to rescue the Vice President of US. The Zombie make up was laughable, I have seen better make up in my office during Halloween, acting was worse than a Kindergarten play and...Forget it, it will go on and on. Stanton Barrett who is some stunt guy should stick to doing stunts or should seriously take a crash course in film direction before his next film. The actors were more painful but It was good to see Michael Dudikoff, not for his acting or anything, he even had this stupid scar oh his face to make him kinda look bad ass. If you love Dudikoff and miss him on screen re-watch American Ninja or any of his previous films till he comes out with any decent one. This is not a review, this a warning message to stay away from this film as I have already suffered and don't want others to go through the pain.

I like Navy Seal movies and I like Zombie movies... but this one fell apart. The editing was horrible. While trying to meet the rest of the team at the extraction point, AJ and the reporters peek around the corner and you can see folks walking out of a shop (store) with what seems like groceries (casually) yet Aj and the rest are running for their lives. Another seen when the team enters the lab, you can see a set worker crouching down trying to avoid the shot... These were the obvious flubs. Can't imagine what I missed.

Navy Seals vs. Zombies had the potential to be a cheap and cheerful 28 Days Later/Dawn of the Dead mashup, but the awfulness of the farrago makes it a lifeless (ha!) affair. Overall, the film lacks pacing (partly to do with interminable scenes of people shaking their heads at various events or just staring at each other), but there are a number of amusing street scenes in which the 'zombies' run about in hilariously random directions, which is worth seeing. Of the zombies - they are very inconsistent, with some being veritable herculoids in possession of super speed and strengh, while others shamble about in a shambling fashion (but still seem to overpower apparently the best-of-the best-of Navy Sealdom with consumate ease). Also, some of the zombies pretty much look like slightly infected humanoids, while others have skull-like visages and red eyes - again, no consistency! So all in all, a shoddy affair, and no mistake.

This movie is horrible in every aspect. I mean, how low could that budget have been? Please get a loan or something and at least put some good zombie makeup!! Special effects like fire look like they made it up with a phone movie editor app. Zombies look like my friends at Halloween with hand made makeup.. Navy seals look like they ate 10 times at McDonald's before they filmed.. Please get in shape!!! I am so upset for wasting almost 2 hours of my life!. Please save your time and if you like Zombie films go watch the walking dead or something like it.

This truly sucks!

The premise of this movie is actually pretty good, but it suffers from frequent bad scripting and bad acting. Don't get me wrong, some of the acting is great like the writers and actors were actually on the same page, but then it's like they walked away and the amateurs took over.

The zombies were OK, they too suffered from some that were really good at it and some that just showed up from a LSU football game the night before.

The best part is the combat sequences that looked really good but it wasn't enough of it. If you have nothing else to do, I mean nothing else, then watch it once. I mean really once.
