I downloaded this sci-fi war movie for JJ Abrams. As a result, I felt a little disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high, which led to too many requirements. I am reflecting...
American movie "Overlord"
Genre: Science Fiction
Main cast: Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, Mathilde Ollivier
Story overview: During World War II, on the eve of the Normandy D-Day, the American paratroopers battled German experimental zombies
Release Date: November 9, 2018 in the United States
There's not much to say about this movie. From the appearance point of view, it has a shell of the "Normandy landing" in "World War II"; from the inside, it introduces many elements of "high technology", "biochemical experiments", and "zombie massacre". In short, "WWII" mashup "zombie" films.
Since the story is lackluster, let's talk about other things, and count the various elements involved in the film.
1. Game elements
a, Allied death squads
b, call of duty
c, Resident Evil
d, lone gunman
e, red alert
f, return to Wolfenstein
It seems that to make movies, not only do you need to read a lot of movies, but you also need to be able to play games and learn by analogy.
2. Science fiction elements
To put it bluntly, it is the ultimate product of "human experiment" - biochemical warrior
3. Film elements
a, Spielberg, "Saving Private Ryan" (World War II theme)
b, Kim Sung Hoon's "Kingdom" (zombie theme)
c, Quentin Tarantino "Inglourious Basterds" (World War II theme)
d, Japanese movie version/anime version of "Resident Evil" (zombie theme)
Combining classic World War II films and excellent zombie dramas, this self-contained and hybrid "WWII Zombie Drama" is formed.
4. Visual elements
a, the opening scene of the blockbuster is full of visual sense of the skydiving scene
b, makeup effects for zombies
c, retro picture sense
These elements enhance the attractiveness and impact of the lens language.
Take a break and take a nap. The end of the brief review
Screenwriter ★★★☆☆ (The script is not excellent, but it is normal, and it is a bit interesting to take advantage of the popularity of the "zombie drama")
Director ☆☆☆☆
Actor ★★★☆☆
Story ☆☆☆☆ (old-fashioned, boring, nothing new)
Visual effects ★★★★☆ (enough disgusting, bloody enough, careful enough)
Sound effects ★★★☆☆
Recommendation ★★★☆☆ (Zombie movies are popular, there are pros and cons, it depends on how the audience chooses)
