Operation Ragnarök

...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...

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.

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 .

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.

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.
