Hijacked into seeing it last night. Biggest-budget B-movie I've seen in awhile. Script was mediocre Netflix original quality. Production quality was high.

NOT ENOUGH NAZI ZOMBIES!

Seriously. Way too few. I was hoping for undead horses battling on the beaches. Other than a Band of Brothers ripoff of the 101st dropping in, D-Day was largely forgotten and the zombie reveal was weak.

It's not terrible, but save your money.

I saw a title a few weeks ago followed by the trailer. Was hoping for a new D-day movie and tuned out in the first few seconds when I saw what it was.

I plan to save both my money and my time.

I'll wait for On Demand or Netflix.

Script was mediocre Netflix original quality.

So, better than a SyFy Original Movie then?

Yes, definitely better than a SyFy Original. It's not terrible, but it wastes some of its potential.

Agreed. Needed to go Resident Evil splatter in the second half, ended up being kind of dull although the first 30 mins was pretty good.

The racially integrated 101st Airborne also rankled and broke the sense of immersion before the zombie stuff happened.

I knew that this was going to be a stinker when I watched the trailer.

Really not interested in a Movie of D-Day that turns into Castle Wolfenstein.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Having a limited scope by not throwing hordes of Nazi zombies at you increased the tension and suspense. It is a J.J. "mystery box" Abrams production after all.

It's about a small group of paras trying to stop a program before it comes to full fruition, not dealing with the aftermath of its success.

I would have been but movie trailer turn so quickly to Zombie/Undead Sci-Fi what would there be complain about.
