Movie Review: Iron Sky

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like if the Nazis weren't really gone, but instead had taken over the moon? Well wait no more, for now there is Iron Sky.

Plot Synopsis

At the end of World War II the Nazis launch a secret space program to the dark side of the moon. For the next 70 years they lie in wait, constructing a massive space fortress and fleet of heavily armed flying saucers. In 2018, they make their move to take back the Earth.

Iron Sky isn't the greatest movie of all time, but if you're looking for a movie to sit, relax, and unwind with, than it's the perfect fit.

The story will keep your attention, the acting is actually good, it's well paced with the action, and the humor is well timed. Above all else though, the movie's musical score was absolutely mind blowing.

Our only real complaint was at the opening sequence of the movie. There was nothing about it that made us feel like these events were actually happening on the moon, everything was beyond fake, even the astronauts' space suits were terrible.

First ten minutes had us wondering if Iron Sky could get any more cornier and cheesier. After those ten minutes though, things turned around and we fully enjoyed the film.

Iron Sky is a 93 minute Sci-Fi comedy, rated R for strong language and some violence, stars Julia Dietze, Gotz Otto, and Christopher Kirby, and was directed by Timo Vuorensola.

We give Iron Sky a solid 3 out 5.

Battle Los Angeles (Movie Review)

Okay, okay, I know this movie has been out since 3/11/11, but I've been busy (and kinda broke), so yes I'm just now getting around to seeing and reviewing Battle Los Angeles.

As far as a movie goes, Battle Los Angeles wasn't all that bad. No it's probably not going to win any awards, but for one seeking to lose their self for a little while, 116 minutes to be exact, then this film does a good job.

Synopsis: Sgt. Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) has just signed his retirement papers, but before he can walk away the plant Earth is invaded by an unknown alien race. Now Sgt. Nantz is sent into action with a new squad; their mission - to help in the defense of the city of Los Angeles.

The best way to describe this film is think Independence Day meets Saving Private Ryan. Just take away the humor, and instead of searching for one guy, Nantz and his squad are searching for a number of survivors held up in a police station.

Battle Los Angeles is packed full of great action, interesting CGI aliens, and a decent storyline. Some parts are predictable, and the end could have been better, but from start to finish this was a decent movie.

Grade: B
