On the eve of D-Day, the 5th of June, 1944, several American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion's success: destroy a radio tower built in a little castle of an old French town that the Third Reich uses for communication between Berlin and Normandy beaches' bunkers. Due to the intense enemy fire, the planes are shot down and most soldiers die in the landing or are killed by the Nazis' night patrols after they land.

I never got around to watching "Overlord" when it was showing in the cinema, so I had to wait for it to be released as a physical hardcopy. The waiting was a bit long.
Once the movie ended, I must admit that I was left with a feeling of 'was that truly it?'. Because I had been told that this was an amazing zombie movie centered on a World War II storyline. So what was there not to like about it? But I felt somewhat disillusioned once the movie ended, as it wasn't all that great as I had been lead to believe.
So why not? Well, for starters, where were the zombies? All that there was, was some scientifically altered French villagers experimented on by the Germans, brought back to life with superhuman abilities in a way. Zombies? Well, not so much as in the traditional sense.
Right, well with that being said and out of the way, then I must say that the storyline in the movie was really interesting, and the way that the story was told made me feel like I was right there alongside with the Americans. I love the way that the story was told here, because it was really nerve-wrecking and intense. It had the ingredients of both a war movie and a supernatural thriller with a hint of horror to it.
The acting in the movie was good, and I really enjoyed watching Wyatt Russell (playing Ford) and Pilou Asbæk (playing Wafner) in the movie, because they really carried the movie so phenomenally well with their performances. Especially Pilou Asbæk, because he was so amazingly well-cast for the role of the German officer.
One thing that almost had me clapping my hands was the fact that the Germans actually spoke German in the movie, and not just English with a horrible assumed German thick accent thrown over it. That kind of authenticity really adds such a layer of enjoyment in a movie for me.
The sets, costumes and props used throughout the movie was really good, because it really felt like you where there in the action, in a French village during World War II. There definitely was a great feel of authenticity to it.
The special effects and make-up in the movie was good too. Which definitely helped to bring the movie alive and make it believable on the screen.
I am rating "Overlord" a seven out of ten stars, because it was definitely an action-packed and adrenaline-filled movie, despite it turning out to not be a typical zombie movie - which I had expected.
