Community collage AV club made this?
lookjamesarmstrong18 December 2016
I was looking forward to this film when I had rented it.

Then when the kids are not around so I can watch this horror film that looked like it had such potential.

I see what looks like the Audio-visual club from the local community collage put it together.

A delta operator that is an easy 60lbs over the maximum allowable weight?

Special forces guy that is drunk on 7 beers?

Bad camera work and the audio seems like it was done without external microphones.

The only thing that was worse was the fight scenes.

I can't give less then a 1... tragic.

Atrocious
zerocrew-5680221 August 2016
A slag of the popular wisdom states that in life, anybody can choose whatever they want to be. If some people chose to be actor, cameraman, director and script writers while they should CLEARLY have not, this is the place where they all meet.

I've seen movies that are so bad that they're good, but this one can't even reach that low standard. Everything and everybody is atrocious. Bad acting, bad camera, bad direction, you name it - they managed to fail on every single step.

Even the actors don't look like actors: it ranges from fridge repairman, to truck drivers, a retired science teacher on chemo,etc I've seen fan movies done with shoestring budgets, fly miles higher above this sleazy compendium of "you're doing it wrong" broken arm team. My nephew with his mates playing paintball in the yard are more convincing than that.

They should have shot than on a mobile phone, the picture look like it's out of a camescope from the 80s. If you're a student struggling with your studies or homework, please watch this. It will show you how vain sometimes entertainment could be. And give you an inspiration to work on your assignment, cause you don't want to end up like those people.

Ahh the Ol' Switcheroo
MinistryofDoom21 March 2017
I picked this movie to watch because when I saw the cover, I thought it said "Call of Duty". My immediate reaction was "WHAT?? There's an official Call of Duty movie?? Hopefully Soap and Capt. Price are in it!!" Then I started watching it and lo and behold, it became clear to me that I was the unfortunate victim of a marketing scam. I bet I'm not the only one. This is most certainly not a Call of Duty movie. Activision, Treyarch, Infinity Ward. None of them have anything to do with this mess. It doesn't even have 1/10th of the average budget of a Call of Duty video game. How was I duped? Look closely at the art. Do you see it? Yep. It says "Call TO Duty". It even has the same font and logo as the latest CoD game! I don't know how that happened but good for these guys for getting away with it. I'm sure by hanging on Call of Duty's coat tails, they've managed to sell a few copies. Let me tell you something, fellow movie watcher people out there. This film is terrible; not just terrible but absolutely horrendous. It looks like a community college undergraduate student film on a really really really tight budget (like under $500...Ok, maybe a grand). I bet they could have only made it after the director sold his Kia. The plot is beyond stupid. If you've ever played the zombie survival mini-games in Call of Duty, you probably know what this movie is about. It's that...as a live action film but horribly terribly done. The writing is appalling. The special effects ridiculous and extremely cheap. The actors are unskilled and awkward. If only it was narrated by 14 year old boys yelling obscenities at the actors, it would seem more like the CoD game. Alas, this film is garbage. Straight up garbage. Throw it away. Burn it. Delete it. Don't watch it. Never look back.

Awful movie
mirnes-mehmedovic23 March 2017
Horrible acting, poor light, KungFu-panda-like Delta trooper, stereotype dialogues.....in one word, tragedy.

Somewhere in trivia, there's remark that this movie doesn't have anything in common with same name PC game but movie name is Call TO Duty not Call of Duty ?! Is it just me or ..? Anyway, after watching a few minutes into movie I got impression it was filmed with IPhone 3.

Do not waste your time.

low-budget film
jeppe-hjorth22 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
It is a typical, low-budget film, they have tried to make an action film, but unfortunately it does not live up to expectations. The actors try to make a good effort, but the script is not good enough, so many of the lines are mere clichés. The Movie is an action movie. Five Spec Ops, Alpha Squad, head a simple Recon Mission that turns into an all out war for survival against a wave of unread experiments. Alpha Squad must fight, not just for the sake of their own survival, but the fate of the world. where the special unit must try to stop an attempt to create a super human. Unfortunately it is very difficult to write something positive about the film itself.

A horrible movie meant to trick the viewers!
captainmudkipz22 March 2017
This movie was horrible, it honestly looked like the local college's AV club had a fundraiser to make a movie and this was the end result. The acting was so unbelievably bad. The mics they used were of low-quality. The special effects weren't horrible but were still very bad.

Now if you look at the movies cover it appears to be something that relates to the Call Of Duty game franchise and this movie is meant to fool the consumers into buying/renting this movie. I would not recommend this to anyone, this movie is only good for getting 5 minutes of laughter of how bad it really is.

Bad to the point it becomes interesting to watch
darijant5 December 2019
This movie is so bad, that I actually watched it through the end just because I wanted to see how bad it can get. And I must say it didn't disappoint me.

Trash
kylerehm9 March 2019
Matt mcgloin has no talent. He's one of the worst out there. This movie should be removed from existence. Garbage, horrible movie. It's not even a movie. It's a desperation to be relevant.

SHOCKING!
derek-a-charette10015 April 2021
This is one of the top 3 WORST ''movies'' I have ever seen. This is so bad that if I was a financer of this atrocity, I would sue them for fraud.

It's so atrocious that I will refer to it as a VIDEO, because it does not deserve to be called a movie. This is so bad that it gets a sub-zero rating in my book.

I feel bad for anyone that joined this project in hopes of making a MOVIE. I would force them to remove my name from the credits.

At about the 1 minute mark, I already knew this movie would be getting a 1 star. A special forces operator that is 70+ pounds overweight, and another that looks like he would break in half if he tried to lift a sack of potatoes?

What bothers me the most is the misdirection from the cover of the VIDEO, to the name, to the description. With an epic name like ''Beyond the Call to Duty'', I naturally expect an epic production that makes me feel like a can of whoop ass has been opened.... the only can that was opened in this little production is TRASH CAN.

Royally Disappointed
bipolargaming22 March 2017
I came across this movie and noticed the front cover. The cover looks identical to the game Call Of Duty so I assumed that Activision released an official movie :o what?!? I was extremely excited to watch it. Assumed all my favorites including Soap and Price would be in it. This is definitely not Activision approved and I was shocked how horribly bad this movie was. Extremely bad acting, Extremely bad camera angles are horrible. I wouldn't watch this even if I was paid to.

I only got up to the girl fight which is approximately 2 minutes in and then I pulled out the disk and snapped it. Now I owe the video store $10 but at least I saved a few people from eye cancer. Yes, it's that bad.

I want a new drug.
nogodnomasters16 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The film starts with Alpha Squad in a botched rescue. Later they go on a Top Secret mission against "enhanced beings" aka zombies...people experimented on by pharma.

The acting and dialogue needed improvement. The sound had background noise in some scenes then goes dead quiet when the camera went to a different person. What was the stupid folk music in the vehicle drive? That was a waste of film. Likewise, the two main characters suddenly caring about their home was another waste. Even the zombie actors were horrible. Hey! Just hold you hands up and drag a foot. What was with the guy with the German accent? Now I did get a nice flashback when zombie Rick Primerano says, "Cassie." It reminded me of C.H.U.D. II when Katie in a swimsuit says something like, 'Hey CHUD, who wants a bite?" And they all turn and say "Katie" and pursue her to their death. Now that was a real scene.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Kahley Cuff in bikini. Trailer is mostly the last 30 minutes.

OMG, it had potential
txsoldier455 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Some really bad acting. But Kahley Cuff was the best part. Very attractive, good acting. She should have been the one to survive! Not enough zombie fighting, too much time spent on character development.

They should have started the movie with the Nazi Grandfather's lab being destroyed to start the whole story off. The board of human interest or whatever they were did nothing for the story line.

I would not recommend paying the $9.95 I spent at walmart. Look for this on Youtube or some other website.

Production values were god awful. I only stuck with the movie out of some sick hope that it would all tie in at the end. But the end tried to set it up for a sequel.

Movie without effects
ThanosAtha19 September 2017
This could be a nice movie.....It has good story ( with no end). This movie is shot by a medium resolution videocamera without being edited on the PC very much.... It needs belief directing and play, the right lighting (at faces & places) and a lot of visual effects (blood & hits),soundtracks and variety of sounds{zombies}, at every single moment,step by step.....!

What is this...?
dcreased-8542921 March 2017
OK...So first i voted 2 because i didn't really watched the entire movie. Anyway, what i wanna say here is that the trailer actually looks decent(without the text-transition parts). The real problem comes with the movie. It looks like it was made of a group of students. One more thing: watch the trailer! You'll notice that the movie is titled "Beyond the Call to Duty" but the title of the movie as shown in the trailer is "Beyond the Call OF Duty". What ca i say? Nothing...
