Iron Sky was only the beginning with Nazis on the Moon bent on taking over the world. Twenty years later what remains of humanity and the moon Nazis are living together on the dark side of the Moon.
Lara Rossi (Obi), Vladimir Burlakov (Sasha), Kit Dale (Malcom), Julia Dietze (Renate), Stephanie Paul (Vril President), Tom Green (Donald), Udo Kier (Vril Hitler), John Flanders (Gary), James Quinn (Johan).
With the last of humanity living on the dark side of the Moon and what is left of civilization on Earth buried under nuclear waste, things are looking grim. Unless you have cell service. A group of humans finds themselves headed from the Moon back to Earth which holds the keep to saving humanity deep inside its core. Of course the Nazis are coming along for the ride and the Vril just want, well, everything. Together Iron Sky: The Coming Race is quite a ride!
Acting had a bit more depth and comedy this time around. Rossi was meh in my opinion, but fortunate enough to have a solid supporting cast. Burlakov brings the cute and helps her with the comedy. Paul delivered the laughs throughout. Dietz had a brief, but solid, appearance. Kier fit his role nicely and was fun as always.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were decent given the theme. Effects, physical and CGI, were surprisingly good and definitely added to the film. Dialogue was fun with a nice mix of laughs and setup for laughs along with an actual plot. Sound and soundtrack are par for the campy theme.
Iron Sky: The Coming Race is a bit different from the original, which felt darker. This one also feels like it takes aim at a younger audience. At the same time, it brings more laughs while retaining a plot and providing a more polished, big screen feel. Maybe that is good, maybe not, you decide.
This one should be fine for preens and above. Maybe some mildly disturbing sci-fi scenes.
