My Take On A Live Action Zombies Movie

[Black Hand Smith]

Call of Duty Zombies Movie 

 How I think a Zombies movie should be like if they ever made one for theaters. Not a Comedy or an action flick with explosions in every corner but an Adult Zombie movie with a deep story forcing the viewer to Think.

 

 

The story revolves around 2 plots.

The main plot following our 4 characters from Shi No Numa all the way to Moon.

The second Plot revolves around 2 strangers. One stranger is telling a story to the other stranger while he sits down and listens. The main Plot is interwoven with the tale the stranger is giving.

( A very dark room. Two men set facing each other yet their faces are hidden”

Stranger: Do you now the tale of the 4 horsemen?..... They say during the end of days the 4 horsemen will ride out into the world and in their path will follow Death, Disease and War….Let me tell you a story…”

While most of the film follows the Original 4 and their journey to the moon every now and then it will cut to a scene with the 2 Mystery men. Subtle hints are given at to WHO these 2 men are and for a Zombies fan it might be easier for them to figure out who is who.

The Movie follows closely to the story of the Game while at the same time leaving things open to interpretation. Some scenes have small details you won’t notice at first glance but when you watch the movie over and over again you might notice something different and strange. One scene richtofen is wearing his nazi uniform and in the next scene he;s wearing his space suit without an explanation as to why the sudden costume change. Sometimes a character will appear covered in blood but in the scene that occurs directly after the blood is completely gone. Small things but all build up for the ending

Sometimes the stranger while telling the story will jump from one map to another without explaining exactly HOW the 4 characters got there (Kino to Ascension). While questioned why he skipped such an important detail the Stranger will state he doesn’t know or doesn’t remember exactly how it happened.

 

Characters

The Stranger: A strange man with no features and hides in the shadows. He tells a tale of a German, an American, a Russian, and a Japanese man who travel the world fighting a secret war that is unknown to most of the world. The 3 follow the German man while the undead follow their group everywhere they go. Sometimes the Stranger will forget to mention the

The Listener: An unknown person with little to no dialogue at all. He merely listens to the tale of this stranger.

The Original 4: The Original 4 have been altered from their videogame counterparts. Unlike the games the characters are much more sane. At least until the end of the film where they start to act very similar to their game counterparts. They are all struggling to remember exactly how they got into this situation.

Richtofen appears to be sane but subtle hints reveal that he is actually an egotistical madman with an ulterior motive and a plan

Dempsey: An American Soldier who has no trouble killing the undead seems to remember having a daughter and wants to go home to her.

Nikolai: Loves Vodka. Claims that he thinks he has done terrible things but can’t quite put his finger on it.

Takeo: Is suspicious of Richtofen and generally keeps his distance from the rest of the group.

Samantha: A Demonic Girl who sometimes appears in the Scenes with the Stranger and the Listener. She also makes an appearance at the end within the MPD.

 

SPOILER ALERT

During the Last scene of the Film it shows richtofen getting ready to switch souls with Samantha he looks up at the MPD as it begins to open and laughs manically. Suddenly it cuts to black and the Listener and the Stranger appear one last time. The Stranger gets up having finished his story and approaches the Listener and utters one last sentence of dialogue..

 

“ This time……Remember”

 

The last shot of the film shows the MPD room…..No Zombies…. No nikolai, takeo or Dempsey. Richtofen stands alone in the Room staring in awe at the MPD. Suddenly he feels as if he hears something. He turns around

“ Schuster is that you?’

Silence

Thus it is revealed that the entire story was multiple past cycles which is why some shots are inconsistent with other shots set in the same scene. The events always happen over and over again and each time there are small minor differences. The screen goes black and the audience is left to wonder if the cycle will continue forever or if someday they will be able to break it
