This is too boring, tedious and contrived for words. The only redeeming quality is decent photography.
What do you get when a zombie filmmaker with an obsession for WWII runs out of zombie ideas? "Overlord."
There's good acting and decent photography, but the story is cartoonish. The soldiers act as if no one will hear them or see them, ever, even though they are surrounded by Nazis who know they are there and are looking for them. There are more plot holes than bullet holes, and there are a lot of bullet holes.
It was a very good documentary. Cinematography was often excellent. The director is clearly depressive, and was seeking to cure himself of his own depressiveness. His biggest clue was that through his experience with the octopus in the kelp forest he learned to feel that he belonged, and was not just a visitor. Evidently he was feeling quite isolated and alone in society, "just a visitor," before he started this documentary. Some of his narrating is a little sappy, but overall well worth the watch. He captured some amazing footage of octopus behavior.
