Operation Ragnarök

Basically everything is bad with this movie. Sound is out of sync, plot is just a mess, acting is crap, and everything is stupid. It turns out to be quite fun to watch. Avoid if you want something serious.

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.

There is not a single thing that can redeem this movie. I saw direct to TV movies that are way more interesting than this. This is my first time writing a review for a movie only to warn people to stay away. The story is so stupid from the first scene until the last one. It is poorly written, the music was all over, there was no coherent message, they failed big time in establishing the setting (were they in a city? Why does it seems like there were only 50 people in total?), slo mos in parts which are not really not that dramatic, a character became so important to people without any good reason, and many more. This is not a so bad that it's good movie. This is just simply bad.

...watched the whole thing from start to finish, while folding clothes. Sometimes you find gems in low budget movies. This wasnt the case here.

To put it short; the actors do a good job, and the low budget effects could have been passable, if only the writing and direction hadnt been so bad.

Its been a long time since I saw characters behave so irrational and trivial as they do here...

The movies underlying theme could have been interesting to unfold, albeit pretty obvious, but it cannot sustain the lack of attentive writing and direction.

If I hadnt been folding clothes it would have gotten 1 star...

This movie wasn't the best. From the acting to the storyline and even the infected, it just didn't quite hit the mark-but it wasn't completely terrible either.

I did appreciate how they explained the origin and cause of the infection, but that's where my praise ends. The film heavily focuses on themes of racism and immigration, which could have worked well in a zombie movie if handled properly. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The execution felt forced, especially in how the actors delivered their performances-none of it felt natural or convincing.

The zombies themselves weren't particularly impressive either; while they had some intelligence, the makeup and design left a lot to be desired. There were better ways to deliver the messages this movie was trying to convey, but this wasn't one of them.

Overall: Wouldn't watch again. It was alright for a first time watch but it wasn't anything good.

Setting to watch: When you speak Swedish or you want to watch something with xenophobia and racism.
