These two movies are very similar themes. Both are set during World War II and involve potential apocalyptic themes involving Nazi Scientists.
Nazi Overlord demonstrates the heights of greatness that can be achieved despite a minuscule budget and skeleton crew. This film has it all; action, romance, Nazis, drama, action, drama and Tom Sizemore. Nothing more is needed.
JJ Abrams really needs to pull his head out of his butt and understand that he is being left behind by a generation of filmmakers not afraid to create hard hitting, issues based action pieces. This is a far superior and enjoyable experience to the bloated and over produced ripoff that is 'Overlord', and it's sad to see such a gem of a flick being overshadowed by such a pale and obvious imitation that just happens to have more access to marketing and the backing of a powerful studio. This is why people don't watch the Oscars anymore.

Overlord
Overlord is essentially a B-movie with a Hollywood budget, great action, and a TON of gore. I really enjoyed this movie quite a bit, especially in the opening scene, which was shot very well. This movie is an action-horror set during World War II when a bunch of American Soldiers discover that the Germans are up to something sinister in one of their bases, and that is all I will say about the plot. It's awesome to watch. The films cast doesn't consist of any A-Listers or Superstars, but has a lot of recognizable faces such as Wyatt Russell, (who's performance reminded me a lot of his dad Kurt in The Thing), Pilous Asbaek and Jacob Anderson of Game of Thrones fame, John Magaro and Bokeem Woodbine, and newcomers Jovan Adepo and Mathilde Olliver as the leads. To sum it up, Overlord is the type of movie that is going to develop a fanbase years from now, it is very fun and will satisfy those both looking for intense action and gory horror, and I can easily recommend this. We can all thank Julius Avery for directing such a fun movie and J.J Abrhams for deciding to NOT turn this film into a Cloverfield movie.
