Operation Ragnarök

Watched to a part where first zombie cop shooting.. .nope . . just so stupid ,in those few mins already showing bad acting and what a mess this movie is. I really don't recommend this to anyone unless you into low budget comedy and love to laugh how failure this movie is. Im never been into swedish movies , thought i give this one a try , since i love zombie movies but ran out of something new to watch but was a bug mistake. Everything is out of sync , audio sucks and i feel like watching punch of headless chickens running around screaming and dont have any idea what they doing or where they going.

The premise of the film is interesting, although it doesn't stand to scrutiny if one looks for realism. Without spoiling that idea, it is difficult to review. Somehow, I felt it was telegraphed from the very beginning, as I was thinking "wouldn't it be interesting if that were the case". And it was!

Unfortunately, most of the film is about idiots running from other idiots, with scenes so low budget that they showed the zombie hordes attacking from the back or only the lower parts. That is jarring, especially considering the plethora of zombie films and series that somehow manage to cover makeup or CGI in their budget. The acting was decent, but the direction and editing left much to be desired. From the standpoint of watching pleasure, this film is awful.

Yet, in the end the story comes together and we realize what the film was supposedly about, in the context of today's Sweden and perhaps the world. Is it worth watching the film for this? I would have to say no. And it's sad, because I feel like I would have wanted to like the film and get into its message. It was just too bad.

Bottom line: the basic idea is intriguing and very apropos these days, but the execution was terrible. Even with good production values, though, that idea would have merely have covered an Outer Limits episode time interval, so I don't think the movie had any chance to begin with. Not recommended.

Take almost 7 years for make this movie and I give one star. Nothing exiting to watch here. My advise don't lost your time with this films .

Operation Ragnarok: A biological warfare virus is let loose onboard a Swedish submarine turning the crew into Zombiesque violent maniacs. The sub crashes into a dry dock and the virus spreads through a port town infecting the residents. Surviving humans try to take shelter but these zombies retain their intelligence and ability to use guns and other weapons. They shoot down a rescue helicopter. Meanwhile conspiracies are developing among the military to suppress the truth about the outbreak. Some good zombie horde scenes along with close quarter battles. Prejudice and racism divide the survivors but some cooperate. An OK Horror/conspiracy thriller, could have dome more with a bigger budget I reckon. Directed & Written by Fredrik Hiller. On Netflix. 6/10.

Completely OTT and stupid bio war film which makes absolutely 0 sense somehow got budgeted and released over a period of seven years! There's some hilarious cut-scenes from the army deployment. Yup that's a couple of caravans being towed after army artillery.

CGI is used but then not used. It's like that they filmed some of it before getting CGI onboard yet forgetting to use CGI to edit out the stupid scenes. Like three onlookers watching the army deploy when the filming location team forgot to remote them from the shoot.

The acting is shouting. The same anti-immigration rhetoric is blasted through the whole movie. This is really boring. The cast are based on appearances over acting ability.

Hilarious budget sequences. Yet they find more actors for the command room than the extras used as the army deployment. Then two fighter jets are scrambled and only one is used? Why?

The plot and the script is absurd. It's got some laugh-out-loud moments just because it's so bad. Definitely one-to-avoid.
