Review:
In the film, life on earth was lost after a nuclear war. A small group of people managed to escape the nuclear war and its consequences. They have settled in the deserted Nazi base on the dark back of the moon. When people are told that their salvation and solution can be found in the middle of the earth, they decide to send a group of people back to earth to find the solution for restoring the earth. This mission will not be as easy as they first thought, because the nuclear dangers and consequences of this after the war are mutated reptile people in the middle of the earth, riding dinosaurs and being led by Adolf Hitler.
The first Iron Sky movie had a comical and creatively conceived story where the remaining Nazis, after the loss of the Second World War, had hidden themselves on the dark back of the moon to return to Earth with a surprise attack in the future. In 2014, this sequel was first brought forward with a trailer. The filmmakers have worked on this sequel for five years. Previous release of this film was always delayed and postponed to constantly adjust or improve the film. Despite all these postponement and improvement attempts, the final film looks a bit like a cartoon about the story and the effects. At times it seems like you're watching a longer live-action version of a Family Guy episode. The first film also played nicely in current affairs and managed to ridicule this in a fun way. This is also done in this film, but when that happens in this film, it comes across as a short, detached scene.
The effects are very cheap and fake and look like effects from older films at the time that CGI was just something new to use in films. Due to the lesser effects, the dinosaurs in the film look very much like creatures from a cartoon. The make-up effects work better, but also come across as cheap. The reptile people come across as enemies from a Power Rangers TV series.
Acting also doesn't really make the movie much better, because many characters also come across as characters from a cartoon. Many make stupid choices or decisions that you would see earlier in a cartoon. Lara Rossi tries well and seriously to do her best in the lead, but all other cartoon-like characters do not make her easy. Although Udo Kier also looks a bit cartoon-like, he does it in a nice fitting way as the shock of the story. He did his role in the first film a bit nicer. In this film he does get the chance to play a double role, because in addition to his recurring role role from the first film, he also plays the role of Adolf Hitler in a dark, yet somewhat comical way.
