Iron Sky Movie Review

This is a hilarious science fiction comedy.  The plot can be described simply as Oh My God there are Nazis on the moon, but the hilarity around the plot is what makes the movie.  For starters the person who finds the Nazis on the moon is an American Black male model.  He is only on the moon in the first place because the president, who is an obvious parody of Sarah Palin, came up with the idea to boost her poll numbers with a campaign titled "Black to the moon. Yes We Can."  From this premise the movie only gets funnier.

The special effects in this movie are passable but not spectacular, and so is the acting.  Both could be better but they get the story across.  The movie has something for everyone including orbital space battles.  The science in the film is mostly ok, but as with many small science fiction films doesn't worry about the details.  I am sure if you analyzed every little thing you could find issues with it but mostly the science is either not explained, or relatively simple.  For me there were only a few places where I was not able to maintain suspension of disbelief, and those places made for a good story.

As a B science fiction comedy this movie is a fun show and worth watching on Netflix where I watched it.  If you are looking for a serious science fiction movie this may not be the film for you, but you may want to give it a chance when you are in the mood to laugh.
