Operation Ragnarök

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.

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.

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.

...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.
