Iron Sky

Starring: Kirby, Christopher and Dietze, Julia

Product Description

In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers. When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Fuhrer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what else could the man be but a scout for the imminent attack by Earth forces? The Fourth Reich must act! Two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Gotz Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion. In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.

Customer Reviews

This could come true – it could happen to you.

To promote the president and maybe pick up a little hydrogen 3 on the side, astronauts are sent to the far side of the moon. There, they find that they are not the first to do a little mining. Yep, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) has been there since 1945. This triggers the plans of the NSDAP to take over the world. Will they succeed, or will they only boost the president’s chances for re-election? I tried hard to keep a straight face during the movie, but they got me going and were practically non-stop. One of my favorite spots is when everyone in the UN was trying to find out where the threat was coming from; each country denied it was their people. Then North Korea representative admitted that they are behind it. The acting was great, the dialogue pungent. There was a little too much potty mouth, but it was not enough to be gratuitous. The CGI was quite adequate. The background music was not overwhelming the dialogue. They did not try to be too campy. In all, it was a well-balanced movie with a big-budget feel. It was nice to have subtitles. However, 90 percent of the German used was so fundamental that you could follow quite well at that pace. I look for more from this team: Original story - Johanna Sinisalo Original concept - Jarmo Puskala Screenplay - Michael Kalesniko Writer - Timo Vuorensola I will watch it again to see the nuances.
