Overlord
With only hours until D-Day, a team of American paratroopers drop into Nazi-occupied France to carry out a mission that’s crucial to the invasion's success. Tasked with destroying a radio transmitter atop a fortified church, the desperate soldiers join forces with a young French villager to penetrate the walls and take down the tower. But, in a mysterious Nazi lab beneath the church, the outnumbered G.I.s come face-to-face with enemies unlike any the world has ever seen. From producer J.J. Abrams, Overlord is a thrilling, pulse-pounding action adventure with a twist.

I was not disappointed.
This movie is everything I wanted and so much more. It reminded me almost of a movie version of Wolfenstien (the video game). It starts out with a lot of action and gore and then goes into character and plot development, more action, rinse and repeat - it's a typical J.J. Abrams movie in that regard.
Yes, the "zombies" are more of a backdrop to the story and while a few do make an appearance it's primarily Americans vs Nazis. It's still awesome, though and a movie I'll watch over and over again.
Good:
- - the first few minutes of the movie
— three actors: the sergeant, the lady, the nazi villain
— the few minutes of actual zombie-like creatures towards the end of the movie
Bad:
— the mission was suppose to be about destroying a radio tower, but turned into a jumbled mess
— the other actors were not good. Why is the lead actor so emotional about everything?
— the lead character disobeys an order which places the mission at risk
There is about 10 - 15 minutes of this movie that is good, but the rest is awful.
The plot itself is absurd but I can let that slide considering what the movie is. The problem is that there's so many things that don't make sense here. And how exactly did a handful of people go up against about 30+ german soldiers. The whole group should be dead five times over. I didn't think I'd say this about this movie cause I really wanted to like it but this was downright cartoonish. Overlord is entertaining trash at best. Ultimately it's completely empty and forgettable. The effects and cinematography were well done but it just isn't a good movie.
Solid performances by Jovan Adepo (Boyce), Wyatt Russell (Ford), Mathilde Ollivier (Chloe) Pilou Asbaek (Wafner), and John Magaro (Tibbet) add to the intensity of the film. However, It's a war movie first and the zombie angle is secondary. People are already offended by the time period and inaccuracies of the film. To be honest, I was hoping for more zombies, I didn't think there were nearly enough, especially given the content and the way the story unfolded. Plenty of action and gore to go around, and those two factors alone will undoubtedly please a lot of moviegoers, it did me. I liked it okay, but I probably won't sit through it again. On second thought, the opening sequence is worth a few more looks.
Abrams. If you feel the need to see this film, I would suggest renting it or wait for it to be available via a streaming service like HBO GO.

It is not a spoiler to say that this isn't a Cloverfield movie, either.
It's June 1944, and the allied invasion of Nazi occupied Europe is on. The airborne troops are about to make their drops. One unit in particular has a vital mission to destroy a Nazi installation. An awful lot is depending on them.
The scattered troops, including rookie soldier Boyce and Grizzled combat veteran Ford soon discover there's more to the installation than meets the eye, and horrible experiments that might give the Nazis the edge they need. The fate of the world is in the balance...
You won't get complete historical accuracy out of this, but what you do get is a thoroughly involving and watchable bit of escapism. All the cast pitch their performances just right for the material. It earns an eighteen certificate with realistic violent action and some gory moments, from humans and others. The lead characters are well drawn and you can relate to them. And the villains are just as nasty as you would want them to be for this sort of thing.
It possibly does do a little more of the war side than the horror side, but even so, fans of the latter genre probably won't be disappointed. Good, strong, and very watchable escapism, this is a very entertaining film indeed.
The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:
Languages: English. French. Italian. It's also English audio captioned.
Subtitles: English. Danish. Dutch. Finnish, French. Italian. Norwegian. Swedish.
It begins with several trailers, which can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.
Extras;
The Horrors of War. Two featurettes combine to form this look at the film. They are called Creation, and Death no more.
They can be watched individually or in a row. Both run roughly ten minutes. The first is an overview of the project and the production. The second of some of the monsters of the story and how they were created. Both are a little longer than this kind of thing usually is, and both are pretty good watches.
Different genre on the typical zombie flick , super strong thinking talking zombie certainly makes a change from slow stumbling one's. Definitely worth a second film along the lines of being in the present day and the discovery of the original source of the virus being dug up from the church dungeons.
Incredibly bloody and violent, if that's what you like this is your movie. But if you are expecting an exciting tale of D-Day and soldiers bravery, forget it! One for extreme horror fans only.
Story line may be a little predictable but well worth a look
