Iron Sky: The Coming Race

My wife and I saw "Iron Sky: The Coming Race" yesterday and we found the unfunny screenplay very poor without development of the situation and characters. But now I have just read in IMDb that this film is a sequel of "Iron Sky". Therefore my advice to the viewers is do not see "Iron Sky: The Coming Race" without seeing "Iron Sky" first. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

This was a must see movie for me. Long time fan of Star Wreck and Iron Sky. I had intentionally avoided seeing spoilers and reviews but since there was almost no ads anywhere to tell that movie is out I was skeptical that this is maybe not such an event as the first one was.

I'm not entirely sure why the movie was so awful but at least the story or just the script overall was so badly written that I half the movie I had my mouth open. It's like the movie is mix of scenes where there's plenty of actors and suddenly all the extras are missing in next scene which doesn't make any sense. There's no logic in some parts and there's some very poor acting which ruins the mood or a joke. I guess all the budget went to special effects and not enough to writers.

I can only recommend this movie if you are a fan who wants to throw their money away to keep future generations of dreaming making big scifi movies.

I gave the first Iron sky a 8/10. For a crazy plot it somehow all worked really well, good humor. Some likable characters. And it felt cohesive.

The sequel on the other hand feels like a bit of a mess. You can see the potential for a better film and it's pretty frustrating. The VFX for a 20 mil budget is pretty good. But the plot is just ridiculous and not in a good way like its predecessor. Most of characters were not funny and badly written. It doesn't make sense in really badly written ways that i feel could've been easily changed to make it a bit better than it was and not so by the numbers with plot holes that take you away from immersion in the wacky world they're trying to represent. Personally if i wrote this film, I would've taken it in a entirely different direction. All the pop culture references mostly didn't work as intended, instead of being funny it was just cringey. And the ending was just dumb and rushed.

But I didn't hate the film, I was mildly entertained, enjoyed the visuals/world they created and because i liked the first film quite a bit, perhaps im being a little forgiving when giving it a 5/10. I can understand why people would vote it lower tho.

A younger, high audience may get more enjoyment out of this. I'm getting older and don't smoke bud anymore. Perhaps that made a difference in my enjoyment, I dunno.

I'd say to give it a go if you liked the first film, make your own assessment. I can imagine there will be some people who will like it. Its definitely not totally terrible.

Possibly the stupidest film I've ever seen. I don't necessarily mean that's a bad thing.

The original Iron Sky was way better and I was a big fan of that amazing movie. Sadly, after all this waiting, the sequel is not so good.

The plot is bad (half the time I didn't know what the characters are trying to do or find or why), the effects are fine I guess (I love the spaceship scenes) and the jokes are weird and miss most of the time.

It's not a spoiler to tell you what is missing. Yes, the trailers were misleading to a certain degree. There is no Jesus, Putin is there just to dance and half of the scenes in the trailer are not in the movie. The characters have weak or no motivation at all and most of the things that happen seem convenient for the plot.

The movie just exists to exist. It serves no purpose. I only recommend it for the fans of the 1st movie and my suggestion is to rewatch Iron Sky 1 instead of this flick. That said, the very ending was brilliant!
