This movie had a promising concept but the actual movie turned out to
be a total disappointment. And not just that, it was simply being a
really bad movie as well!
There truly is an awful lot wrong with this movie. I'm sure that it got
made with all of the right intentions and it's also quite a great
accomplishment, considering its limited resources but it just simply
isn't being a very good movie.
It already starts off quite poorly. The movie gets right into its
'action', which sounds like a good thing but in this case I would had
liked to have received some more background information and characters
buildup. Things now instead develop as the movie slowly goes along but
problem with that all is that it never gave me a feeling that it was
going anywhere, or was building up to some great, surprising or
spectacular climax.
It's all so very flawed and ridicules. The movie does a very bad job at
building up anything or handling its tension. It's picking a more slow
sort of approach at times, no doubt in an attempt to create tension and
mystery with it but it instead makes the movie needlessly long at parts
and lets it drag as well.
Besides, the story is real hard to get into. Not just because of its
lacking storytelling but also because of the story itself. The mission
is supposedly a very important one, yet only 2, poorly equipped
soldiers are send in and the research that the Germans were doing
inside the bunker was supposed to be top secret and important for the
outcome of the war. Yet the bunker is hardly protected and the two Kiwi
'commandos' have absolutely no problem entering it. Besides, if there
was so many important research going on, than how come there was only 1
scientist and a handful of guards involved. Really, it was stuff like
this that prevented me from ever liking the movie, or getting into it.
And there just isn't enough variety in this movie. It's one that is
almost entirely set inside of a Nazi bunker, with only literally an
handful of characters involved. The movie really doesn't do anything
surprising or credible enough with its concept, even while it all still
sounded quite promising and fun on paper.
There just isn't very much to enjoy in this movie, not even for the
horror lovers, to which its main concept sounds like something truly
awesome. Trust me, there just is nothing great or awesome about this
movie at all.
3/10
