First of all thanks to the subtitle group——

Thank you for the happy new year from the subtitle group

I directly regard this movie as a new DLC of "Call of Duty: World War II", "Project Overlord". The movie game revolves around an American soldier named Boyce, who seems not suitable for military service, even one. No rat will be killed. But he faced a huge problem-not only to save the younger brother of the heroine, but also to end the Nazi terror experiment and destroy the interference tower. The Nazi experiments created a group of mutant creatures for them.

The reason why this movie is compared to the new DLC of "Call of Duty WWII" is that "Overlord" began on June 6, 1944, which was the landing in Normandy, at the same time point as "World War II." In addition, this film The amulet was mentioned at the beginning, and the amulet was also involved in the beginning of "World War II"; not only the background story is arranged in the same town as the zombie mode in "World War II", another thing is that the atmosphere of the two of them is so similar. If the overlord is really a new DLC, I personally think that it is quite similar to the entire "World War II". This is an essential element of the game as a new DLC-no matter what the story is, it should not be much different from the subjective feeling of the main body.

Next, I will introduce the content of the DLC-as part of the "Overlord" operation, the US paratroopers were ordered to go deep behind enemy lines, disrupt the German supplies and communications, and defend important inland entrances to better provide for the sea team to enter the French coast. Base. However, the enemy’s artillery fire was fierce, and only some of the paratroopers landed safely. The protagonist Boyce is an inexperienced infantryman; Corporal Ford, he is the leader of the protagonist's small team, whose purpose is to destroy a key radio tower in a nearby town. When Boyce was forced to enter the church where the radio tower was located, he witnessed a terrible experiment with a group of crazy Nazi scientists and leaders. With the help of a local young woman, the protagonist team chose to sneak into the laboratory, hoping to destroy the target tower while continuing the mission. The plot seems very simple, but the player also needs to fight against the Nazis and zombies, which also adds a lot of fun to the game. The background light of the game is slightly dim, and there are quite a lot of operable characters, mainly Boyce. The new DLC tries not to fabricate a realist-oriented fictional story from World War II, but to adhere to the core historical truth and combine it with the illusion of reality. As a B-rated movie, it has first-class production effects, which is commendable. There are very few zombies in the film, which reminds me of "Resident Evil 7", so the whole film is simply gamified.

Mainly introduce this film from the perspective of the film——

In general, this movie is quite satisfactory. Roles Except for Boyce, Ford, Chloe, her brother Paul, and Nazi Colonel Waffner, almost all roles have complexity; the US military and the Nazis also form a sharp contrast. There are not many appearances in the whole movie, except for the final explosion, there are almost no explosion scenes during the film.

The fatal injury of this movie is the procrastination of the plot. The film begins with an Allied aircraft carrying paratroopers flying over enemy territory, suffering a large number of ground artillery attacks, resulting in a large number of casualties. The whole process was bloody and ruthless. But as the collection of survivors and the slow story of the film progressed, they found themselves not only fighting the Nazi war machine, but also fighting the monsters created by the Nazis. The blood and violence of the film are pretty good, but not enough. With the theme of horrible zombies, there must be more zombies instead of completely suppressing the zombies with stories. If the story is well told, this movie can be upgraded to another level, but the plot progress is too slow.

From the beginning of the scene, the audience was directly and forcibly taken into the war. The director seems to be trying to make a movie like a war game, but the director must also get rid of the war and bring the movie to the theme of horror. He uses the characters in the film as a guide, leading us through a series of different areas like games, each with increasingly difficult challenges and obstacles. No character will put down his weapon at any time, which will completely turn to one aspect of the game. Most of these characters are passive, just like the characters in the game.

However, the most important thing is that the whole film does not feel very good. The alternative history portrayed in "Overlord" is more terrifying than anything recorded in the Holocaust concentration camp. This effect actually makes the movie closer to a war movie than a zombie movie. But this is also because "Overlord" compares Nazism to the most terrifying spiritual concept. Almost anything can happen in Hitler's army.

If the Nazis are not completely freed from the image of the devil in American movies, then the far-right Nazi atmosphere will certainly not disappear. Therefore, using the most creepy images of the Holocaust, coupled with horrible experiments, and moral decay, these factors have successfully turned "Overlord" and other Nazi-related films into a kind of stifling psychology. Horror movie.

The last turning point of the film is that when the Nazi laboratory was destroyed, the film finally returned to realism. Boyce, Corporal Ford and others decided to keep secrets, hide the terrible Nazi crimes, and describe the entire incident as a complete reality. war.

This is exactly the effect of "Overlord". If the Nazis really have such experimental equipment and methods, or if such experiments fall into the hands of the United States, then the consequences will be disastrous. However, the real disadvantage is that the ending is a bit too brisk and a bit too sloppy. It is impossible to truly transform from supernatural phenomena to realism.

"Overlord" did not well highlight the dark black tone and style of the film. The movie gave a weird visual effect on military uniforms, architecture, experimental equipment in the interior of the Nazi laboratory and the creation of mutant zombies. One of the highlights is the visibility of wounds and flesh and blood, which greatly enhance the visual effect. But in the second half of the film, this effect brings a kind of visual fatigue, so on the whole, this effect is not very good.

A Samsung is enough.

    Three and a half stars, the opening scene from the night bombing to the protagonist breaking his umbrella out of the water in one go is quite interesting. However, after entering the village, the effect declined all the way, and finally turned into a simple and rude B-level film. Some of the pictures may not be suitable for children's shoes with shallow stomachs, but for cult fans, it is a lot of benefits, especially in the scene where the attic turned into an actor The convulsive movements that transcend the confines of the human body are a spectacle.
