Anyone else pumped for this WWII era movie?

Quote:
On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter. As the soldiers approach their target, they soon begin to realize that there's more going on in the Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. Making their way to an underground lab, the outnumbered men stumble upon a sinister experiment that forces them into a vicious battle against an army of the undead.


It's like the Wolfenstein video game come to life!

84% on Rotten Tomatoes as well.

could be good

but from the very first scene showing a black US soldier with white service members, I'm skeptical. Maybe there's an explanation for it in the movie

Some will view your reply on the surface as racist, and it of course is obviously not. It does however raise a good question. African Americans were basically treated like shit in the military during this time. I for one love the fact that a person of color is the lead in the movie. Looking forward to seeing it.

Also, Kurt Russell's son Wyatt is in this too.
why in the world

would what I said be racist? The military was segregated until 1948. I just hope there's a good explanation in this movie as to why there's an African American soldier with what appears to be a white parachute unit in 1944?

OTOH, It is a movie about zombies in WWII so it really is not trying for ultra realism.

It’s scifi, it’s not meant to be historical.

Dirty Dozen, Return to Navarone? Captain America? Its a movie about Nazi zombies or something. Historical accuracy is not a selling point.
Very good movie

Interesting storyline and how it comes together throughout the movie. No spoilers, but it will keep a hold of you throughout.
Saw the movie and holy shit the opening sequense is intense

and amazing. If you have chance, see this in IMAX. The sounds are incredible. Wyatt Russell was the spitting image of his father in some scenes.

Had a bloody great time watching this!
