Iron Sky - As daft as you expect it to be

Iron Sky started out as simply a movie trailer. However, so many people enjoyed the look of it, many different studios clubbed together and funded the whole film to be made. The result is a story about Nazis who escaped at the end of the second world war and have been living on the moon in preparation to return to Earth and finish the global takeover.

Yes, it's daft, but at least it knows it. I didn't find it particularly funny (in a laugh out loud kind of way), but at least it knew it wasn't anything other than light entertainment. Plus it does tackle so bigger issues such as race, Nazis and the general political climate of the Western governments of the world.

The special effects are pretty good too. Most has been filmed against a blue screen and then added later and the space battles near the end almost rival anything George Lucas could do.

Anything involving Nazis and rocket ships is never going to be taken seriously. It's either something you can suspend your disbelief long enough to enjoy or just think it's too silly to even bother with.
