Review of Iron Sky (2012) by Sanjoy P — 07 May 2014
If you are looking for an overtly cheesy old-fashioned B-movie to watch, you could probably do a lot worse than "Iron Sky". Actually, you could definitely watch worse, because "Zombie Strippers" exists, but even taking that film out, "Iron Sky" is far from the worst out there.
The premise is simple - at the fall of the Third Reich, Nazi survivors set up a base on the dark side of the moon. Years later, they attack. Bingo, instant plot.
That plot alone is enough to set it up for at least the morbidly curious crowd, but the film successfully satires socialism, the far right Tea Party and the UN, while making references to (more serious) films that had similar themes, such as "The Great Dictator", "Dr Strangelove" and "Downfall".
It's never going to be an award-winner, and the acting is exactly what you'd expect from a cheap B-movie, but it's surprisingly entertaining to watch this low budget sci-fi.
