Atom User Reviews for Overlord
If you like war movies and supernatural movies then you should love overlord! Definitely recommend it, we loved it.
Some good stuff here and there, but ultimately failed to hold it through as a great ‘zombie’ film.
Nice to see a relatively original horror movie in a historical setting. Very tense.
started strong and interesting but didn't hold up
Needs to be campier
The first 15 minutes display great vfx orchestrated by gripping action and gore that what follows afterwards doesn't really hold up to expectations until the final 35 minutes of the film. Great young and vibrant cast that when looking into their visages one could sense the…
One of the most action packed movies I've seen all year. Loved every moment of it!
I love that I had no idea what it was about when I went to see it with my son. Was a blend of a war and horror movie. AWESOME camera work and acting
SO DAMN GOOD! Action packed from start to finish and plenty of jump scares.
I just knew from watching the previews this movie would be intense, but I wasn’t expecting it to be insanely intense! I loved the movie, it kept me glued to the screen! One of the better movies I’ve seen in awhile! Loved every bit of it!
There were just the right amount of jump scares. Definitely felt like you were in the movie sometimes. The movie wasn’t really centered on the “zombies” it was more centered on getting the mission done and the growth of the main character and supporting characters, which I…
I thought this movie would be about zombies but was mostly about men blowing their breaths in each others’ faces, spitting around, and basically comparing their size. I only got around twenty minutes of zombies and there were no hordes, no zombies eating people ( well if…
Good scares, dumb storyline, great action. Not an oscar contender
Very dragged out for the first half, but finally picks up nearing the end of the film. Storytelling was mediocre, SFX weren't bad at all.
This movie was so good! I was so nervous and hooked through out the entire movie!! My eyes were completely glued to the screen there was no way I could turn away it is definitely a must watch!!!
I was planning on seeing this movie for over a month and it did not disappoint. There are not enough films with action and horror at the movies. If more movies like this come out I will be there. There could have been more zombies but the acting was good and so were the…
An awesome war/zombie movie combined!
Worth seeing if you like military war movies but with a mix of supernatural mixed in. The sound alone was a fun treat for the ears to match the visuals!
Awesome movie
Beginning was incredible. The sound design is the best I’ve heard. The ending was good too. Unfortunately the middle drags and the pacing is strange as the intensity drops off after the explosive beginning. Furthermore the trailers are very misleading as THIS NOT A SCARY…
The beginning started off amazing! The rest of the movie was really just okay. I really like the actor that played the Corporal, but I don’t like him for that role. I just can’t take him seriously. Some good humor here and there. The ending seemed very rushed especially if…
Totally IMAX movie
Not at all what I expected! It was a great choice.
Tons of action and kept me on edge. Amazing sounds and visuals as well. It's a great action movie overall.
Had me on the edge of my seat; heart pounding; well done!
Do I smell an oscar?
The beginning and the end were action packed and great, but the middle was so slow!
No Zombies. Predictable Cliche Ending.
The film had some really intense moments. Some pretty graphic gory scenes. It was a really good movie! Just wish there was more!
Go see it
She said “Kept her on own her toes!”
I agree with other reviews stating it's more a war movie than horror. Went expecting a totally different movies. Felt let down
Overlord gives a new meaning and twist to the already gruesome and patriotic event that occur during D Day. Abrams using sound and visuals, creates a new yet familiar movie.
So this is more of a war movie than zombie but its a great war movie. Really intense from start to finish never really a dull moment. i hope this does well so more movies like this get made.
Interesting concept. Better than I was expecting, but it could have been more.
The first 40 or so minutes was great. The rest got too outlandish. Characters were built nicely, but I don’t like mixing a historical film with this level of sci-fi. The people next to me got up and left mid-movie.
a zombie film 80/90’s style
Always ready to watch some Naxis get exploded
It started out alright but it totally fell apart about 2/3rds of the way through when the sci-fi stuff kicks in hard.
a must-see perfect for this day and age one of the best films of all time
Lousy premise and way too much time before the mediocre reveal.
Love the story and cgi
I was expecting a romantic comedy
It was jaw-dropping!!
great movie. perfectly made a war movie blend into sci/fi horror genres. told a fantastic story without rushing into things. I recommend Overloard.
Best movie I have seen in years!!!
This surprise gem somehow fulfills the unlikely task of being both the greatest action and horror film of the year!
Hell of a ride
Iain De Caestecker was amazing!!
Engaging start, a bit slow in the middle, but a great ending. Overall, entertaining.
Metacritic
Zombies. Nazis. Clichés. Insane violence. Overlord delivers a whole lot of much too much.
It is significant that in this vision of revisionist revenge, the ones who prevail against the Nazis are those who would be marginalized and targeted by them — along with their allies. For all its bloody cacophony, Overlord doesn't lose sight of its heroes.
If you took “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” mashed it up with some gonzo grindhouse pics, doused it in shaken-up cans of original Four Loko and then lit it on fire, laughing while it burned, you might begin to approach the craziness that is Overlord.
