About Army of the Dead's robot zombies
According to comicbook, a few of the zombies in Army of the Dead aren’t zombies, but rather robots, existing in a zombie world. Some of them can be spotted throughout the film, but they are much easier to locate if one looks carefully. The most obvious one is visible during a scene inside the casino when one zombie is shot, skin flies off of his face and a Terminator-like machine can be seen underneath.
Zack Snyder addressed Army of the Dead's robot zombies
These robots are not addressed in the movie but are simply there to be noticed. Spotting them may seem like some kind of animatronic wasn't edited in post-production but Zack addressed these robots before the film was released. An interactive session with Snyder revealed more about his zombie world and also suggested that the upcoming Netflix animated series, Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas will show the origins of the zombie infection depicted in the film. He explained that there are parts of the film that will be addressed in the series, including the role of the robots. He also said that there are normal zombies and some robot zombies in the movie. Without confirming anything, Zack suggested that the robot zombies could have been placed by the government among the actual zombies for monitoring purposes. He also hinted that the robot zombies could be technology from the outer world, suggesting the involvement of aliens.
Army of the Dead cast also includes Hiroyuki Sanada, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi and Garret Dillahunt. The film received a mixed response from critics and the IMDb rating of the movie is 6 out of 10.
