At the beginning of the film, there is adrenaline rush of artillery fire parachute, calming the mood when killing duan mine nagging,
Originally a good bombing signal base station, the result of the first half of the second act is sacrificed to the Nazi live jumping corpse and bunker biochemical experiments,
What kind of mouth explosion chain explosion, machine gun sniper, flame spray, rampage zombies and other cult elements gushed endlessly, continuously, and the fat brother was dark and cool.
"Overlord" is definitely a hardcore plasma cool film that cult fans can't miss in recent times.
The content is in line with the classic hit shooter game "Return to German Headquarters", the genre is Quentin's "Shameless Bastard" and Rodriguez's "Kill a Dawn".
Looking at the World War II film, watching a period of time found a little shocking, looking at it again, it turned out to be a zombie movie! This is the same as the god leap from the road crime film to the zombie thriller in "Breaking Dawn", and the superposition of genres derives extraordinary charm, showing the power of crushing tedium and single king. The story tells that before the Normandy landings in World War II, American paratroopers went deep into the French town to prepare to blow up the signal base station and make preliminary preparations for the landing. After several soldiers risked their lives to enter the town, they found that there was a hidden mystery in the bunker of the signal base station, and the biochemical experiments conducted by the German army were laying a solid foundation for Hitler to build the "Millennium Force".
After the soldiers accidentally entered it and saw the hell on earth, they decided to crush the Nazi terror experiment and bury the darkness in the bunker so that it would never see the light of day..... If you don't read the story synopsis and don't do the pre-warm-up, I believe most viewers will be shocked by the genre leap of "Overlord". The first act, "Deep Behind enemy lines," is a typical World War II film genre, the middle "Mine Attack" section begins to highlight some cult texture, and the second act of the soldier accidentally enters the biochemical laboratory, which is the most essential part of the whole film. From the corpses on the vans to the unidentified creatures in the bunker prison to create a terrifying atmosphere, the zombie warriors looming in the bag completely detonate the type bomb.
When the frightened soldiers escaped from the bunker in a daze, the audience was already refreshed to the point of collapse, waiting for the "zombies to come out of the cage" behind them, a scuffle.
It is a bit of a pity that the unexpected "Overlord" is the kind of high-open low-going film, the first act and the second act are extremely wonderful, many reversals are designed naturally and cleverly, some indoor dialogue passages, the way to create story tension is really a bit of "shameless bastard" feeling, but the decisive part of the third act is slightly perfunctory, strengthening the Nazi soldiers and American soldiers' single-handed fight looks hilarious, but it is really old-fashioned and procrastinating, quite a strong crossbow at the end of the posture, regrettable.
What makes the fat brother most dissatisfied is the degree of conservative blood plasma in the film, and whenever the genre element bursts into flames, it seems that it will suddenly be dragged back from the edge of madness by an invisible hand.
It feels like a castrated "execution chamber movie", where the spilled plasma is reduced in dose, faded in color, or even disappeared. If it were really Quentin or Rodriguez to execute, it would never be so discouraged, think of the assassination of the Fuehrer in the climax of "Shameless Bastards", and the blood forest meat pool in "Kill a Dawn".
"Overlord" is a B-grade "cool film" in the genes, if every time you force cool down before the climax, either the director's ability is insufficient, or the budget is stretched. Although the play is not crazy and bloody enough, the "Overlord" that smashed $38 million is still a B-level investment, an A-level cult dark horse work!
