Nice attempt at a John Hannah impersonation, there. That voice at the end was amusingly deep, too. Curious to see why the 2nd Anglo Afghan war is the setting of a zombie apocalypse, though.

Oh well, if that clip is indicative of the whole dub then I guess that is the nail on the coffin of this beast. The film is a horrible waste of a good idea (I dozed off several times and had no inclination to rewind), but I thought a dub would at least make it palatable, but apparently having to hear the philosophical musings/infodumps is worse than having to read it.

On a side note the Russian character reminds me of a gay Russian that was part of a cabaret act I once saw (he played a gay character, I am not sure if he was gay or just playing it up). Maybe the ADR director is a Tchaikovsky fan or just can't direct a standard Russian accent.

And to MarshalBanana, UK talent would certainly have helped this dud.

That's just one section of the movie, really. It has multiple settings. Also, uh, it's kind of terrible. That's not so much a spoiler as a warning. Seriously, this movie's a mess. I don't recommend it at all. The best dub in the world couldn't save godawful storytelling.

Pretty-boy characters giving pretentious exposition about the nature of war. No thanks.
