JJ Abrams' "Overlord" (No Longer A Cloverfield Movie)

[BeachBum Unreal]

Great film, good mix of a war movie and a body horror movie

 

[BeachBum Unreal]

shyt was lit. It's amazing what a breh can do with a PAWG on the line

It was a decent flick tho, definitely room for a sequel

Spoiler

Somebody, a hiker maybe.. discovers the buried shyt in the present day and fukkery ensues

Agree, I definitely would be all in for some type of sequel

I forgot this dropped today

I'll grab some popcorn and watch this tomorrow night.

I enjoyed it
Having the Black dudes mixed in with the white soldiers in 1944 did throw me off for a bit, especially Bokeem being their commanding officer

Spoiler

RIP Grey Worm

I do agree with some that they this didn't go as far as they could with the zombie stuff
At the end that whole village should have came alive like Thriller

Spoiler

Especially the girl's Aunt that was part of the experiment but ending up getting sent home for no reason it seems
It didn't make sense because they burned everyone else
That story line ending up going no where
The director must not have liked whatever they filmed and punted on it since it ended up with her getting killed off camera

I like Kurt Russell Jr. as an actor though, looks like his dad
We might need a sequel of Escape from NY with him as the lead

Just saw this with wifey.

Looks like Call of Duty Zombies: The Movie

Basically....though it's a lil more like Call of Duty Meets Resident Evil: The Movie.

Great action scenes, especially at the beginning, and it definitely keeps you engaged throughout. But the premise wanes, and the end, to me, was on some real shyt.

6.5/10

This movie would of been GREAT had it been a standard war film. The opening scene in itself was almost as good as that in Saving Private Ryan. Had the ENTIRE film been on that vibe, it would of been a masterful film. But, that shyt quickly fell to shyt. For real, fukk this movie for as a war film that ends up going nowhere and a so-called "Zombie" film with NO fukkING ZOMBIES. You have like bodies being experimented and nothing more, and the Germans trying to find the formula for Captain America's super soldier serum basically. That's basically it and it was barely used as a significant plot. The story itself was week with mostly filler. You could of taken the fake experiment to master the super soldier serum out of the still had the same result. That's how insignificant that was. And the acting by most of them aside from the lead actor was terrible. It's such a let down, especially how this film STARTED.

Pretty much.

Saw it tonight, I don't know if the director was intentionally going for a B-movie style or he is just that fukking bad at his job because some of this shyt is shot so goddamn poorly. Outside of the good performance from the main lead (Jovan Adepo from Fences) the rest of the cast is so bad (the white lead in particular is a miscast from hell) that scenes can be borderline unwatchable. And for a movie about Nazi zombie fukkery it never goes all in either so you keep waiting for it to go full Wolfenstein and it never gets there. It's cheap and poorly done and comes up short even as a piece of escapist cinema and you know that Abrams wished that he could have finessed people one last time here with his Cloverfield scam.

I felt the same. I was ok with the actors, standard WW2 stereotypes. Great actions scenes aswell.

However, for a zombie flick it never goes where it naturally should've gone.

B-

To each their own but this movie was ass cheeks pass the opening scene. Maybe it got. Etter but hit eject once old boy OD'd on that nazi juice

 

[Lootpack]

Sad to hear these reviews...

 

[Jello Biafra]

I liked it. Was not exactly what I was expecting from the trailers though but it was still a pretty cool movie.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Going to see this tonight

I don't know what y'all were watching but this movie was dope. The zombies/super soldier serum wasn't even a major plot, it was a Macguffin. They made a point to show you only a handful of times. The movie even told you they had one mission only, everything else was a bonus. I liked that they didn't delve too much into the mad scientist angle. The war scenes and main villain were good enough.
