Get Ready, The Fourth Reich Is Here.

Sci-fi comedy summed up in four words: Nazis on the moon. At the end of WWII, the Nazis fled to the dark side of Earth's natural satellite to hide and rebuild. More

In 2018, a US lunar mission uncovers the hidden fortress and the evil clan turn their firepower on Earth - in particular the US, led by a Sarah Palin-esque President (Stephanie Paul).

Iron Sky - independently produced in Finland - became a YouTube sensation before it was even made courtesy of well-made teaser trailers. About 10% of the 7.5 million Euro budget was raised by fans who invested in 'war bonds' online and ideas were pitched to the filmmakers via wreckamovie.com - many were used including character names and spaceship designs.

Matt Glasby Flicks Writer

The problem with high-concept films is that once you’ve ticked off the promises of the pitch, where do you go next? As Samuel L Jackson once so eloquently put it, “I have had it with these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane!” Anyone brave enough to approach Finnish-German-Australian curio Iron Sky – essentially 'Nazis On The Moon' – will feel the same. More

In an eye-catching introduction that looks like the cutaway scene from a computer game, director Timo Vuorensola sets out his film’s rather limited stall. American astronauts, bouncing across the shiny CGI-scapes of the moon, discover massive LOTR-style mines guarded by Luger-toting Nazis. “Houston, we have a problem!” someone should, but doesn’t, say.

The real problem, however, is that once the film has introduced its two main selling points – Nazis and the moon – it has nothing left to offer. The surviving astronaut (Christopher Kirby) is captured by a Nazi commander (Gotz Otto) but coveted by his mistress (Julia Dietze). You won’t need to be Albert Einstein (who cameos) to know where the trio is heading next. That’s right: Earth.

Playing out pedestrianly in New York City, the film soon becomes a lame invasion spoof, like Mars Attacks without the stars, or Austin Powers without the jokes. Kirby is a reductive Blaxploitation hero in all but decade, lines such as “Get your hands off me you Kristallnacht piece of s***!” are too knowing to be funny, and the film hasn’t the budget to match its dizzying concept, nor the wit to fill the gaps between.

IronSky is falling

RealityCheck Flicks Superstar (?)

Wonderful b-grade movie, yet not. You'll fully understand when/if you watch it. Its awesome for a wet day or if you seriously dont want to go back to work. Some great eye candy around the screen, strangely surrounded by some pretty good actors. Almost like wathcing a spoof 'Scary Movie' 'Mars Attacks' or something. I enjoyed i, even if laughin at the movie as much as with the movie.
Genre : action, comedy, b-grade, almost 'sci-fi', spoof
2/5 : I really did enjoy it, but come on, it is kinda awesomely crap-tastic

Press Reviews

Empire (UK)

Insert your own 'lunar' pun here - this is a true space oddity. Full review.

Guardian (UK)

It's not terrible, by any means: just not nearly as funny or cruel as its killer premise suggests. Full review.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Iron Sky really could have been something if only someone had written a decent script. Full review.

Hollywood Reporter

Vuorensola's sci-fi comedy is uneven, its humor never quite matching the luster of its visuals. Full review.

Little White Lies (UK)

Lowballing schlock and nothing more. Full review.

Variety (USA)

Much more amusing in theory than in execution. Full review.
