Review of Iron Sky (2012) by Elijah L — 18 Feb 2016

When we finally do get visited by beings from somewhere other than Earth, I think there's one thing they will be able to take away with them - that b-movies are most certainly now their own genre, and a law unto themselves.

Iron Sky if anything is proof, if anything that they don't always have to be shit. Unlike the license and law suit baiting parody bollocks that is spat out on a ferocious basis by studios such as The Asylum, Iron Sky has gathered quite the cult following the right way, by having a unique concept, rather than ripping off other people's work, and at least attempting to make a good film of it.

Iron Sky won't get entered into any lists of all time greats on reddit or buzzfeed, and I'm sure Roger Ebert wouldn't have been buried with a copy of the dvd, but taken on it's own merits you have a surprisingly fun two hours (dictators cut) with better cgi and special effects than some mid tier Hollywood numbers.

If b-movies really are a big deal these days, then take some comfort in Iron Sky being one of the better ones. Just don't expect Schindler's list.
