Iron Sky: The Coming Race

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

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.

After reading the other reviews - and after seeing the movie at its Berlin premiere - I have to say I find those reviews a bit too harsh.

Yes, it's probably not gonna win an Oscar but what do you expect when you read the story?

I think it's a decent B-movie and there are certainly worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your life.

The CGI work is once again very impressive and if you really want to critize something, it's the dialogues which can hardly be any more wooden at times.

Besides that it reminds a bit of teens having their first encounter with the other gender - a long build up with a very quick finish (pun not intended).

And if you watched the Q&A after the showing: I think we're all waiting now for the third part with Udo Kier as Nazi robot crocodile where only his lower part works.

Watch it!

I didn't expect much from a sequel to a movie about Moon Nazis, but they really pulled out the stops on this one. The first movie had a lot of dull moments with interesting, if campy, scenarios that made it a watchable film (but not memorable). This time around, the acting, environments, special effects and music all got much needed upgrades. With the exception of a needless subplot, I had fun with this and I didn't feel my eyes roll back even once in annoyance. It isn't a stellar movie, but it blows the doors off of any budget title or SyFy dross.

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!
