Essential to the production was the Iron Sky online community. Iron Sky belongs to a new wave of film productions where good-looking production values are made possible via a participation of a large community.
The plot: The Nazis have set up a secret base on the dark side of the Moon in 1945. Ready for a comeback they now plan to invade the Earth, but a black astronaut stumbles accidentally on their turf.
Crazy satire is a difficult stylistic approach, and I was happy to discover that Timo Vuorensola and his dedicated team have succeeded so well. Because the Nazis are too easy a target, the satire is directed more towards the shallowness of contemporary politics, the media planning of world events, greed in ecological resources, and the vanity of leaders. In a bizarre twist Vivian Wagner the U.S. President's P.R. director is even influenced by Nazi rhetorics.
There are funny visions like the Moon with a big chunk blasted away by the Nazis.
No problem in the 2K DCP presentation.
