Now, while the movie does occasionally hit those beats in a little too on-the-nose (especially when compared with how the same ideas are presented in the brilliant Land Of Mine), it's not quite as clear-cut as you may expect. In that, the film looks at both the continuing negative feelings between both peoples, brought to life early on by Keira Knightley, as well as the idea that, with the war over, there is no need for recriminations in the face of a rebuilding project for the better of all, which we see in Jason Clarke's character early on.
Set in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the film centres on the relations and tensions between the British occupiers and local German citizens, with emotions and suspicion still running high following six years of all-out war. So, the two ideas and genres that the film attempts to balance and bring together are romantic drama and pure history, and it's the historical side that I'd like to start off with, because while the film features some fascinating historical themes, it also fails to capitalise on the genuinely enthralling potential of its setting. However, it still has the elegance, dramatic intrigue and often even emotion to keep you engaged throughout, ultimately making for a thoroughly watchable, but not exceptional, film. As a result, The Aftermath is far from a perfect film, and its frustrating misfocus given the potential of its historical setting makes for an often underwhelming watch. This will add hundreds more on-screen zombies to really overwhelm your defences.This is a great example of how a film can try to juggle and blend two different genres, and despite never really getting either perfect, can still offer up interesting and engaging drama. The real perk for the current gen upgrade will be the new Horde XL game mode that is strictly added for PS5, XSX|S and PC. Only owners of Aftermath will receive the upgrade for PS5 and XSX|S, while the original game will remain without an upgrade.Įven without that, WWZ Aftermath will have 4K and 60fps support on PS5 and XSX via backward compatibility. WWZ Aftermath will be available for $39.99, or as a paid expansion for WWZ owners will be able to upgrade to Aftermath for $19.99. Will the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade be free? There will be three new story locations to play through in Rome, Vatican City and Kamchatka, and the gameplay has been enhanced with dual-wield weapons and an overhauled melee combat system.
All of the previously released content added to with new characters to play as, a new Vanguard class, new enemy types and a new first person mode. Announced at E3 2021, World War Z Aftermath will still be a sizeable expansion, even without the new generation version on day one.
