Plot: Twenty years after the events of Iron Sky, the former Nazi Moonbase has become the last refuge of mankind. Earth was devastated by a nuclear war, but buried deep under the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity – or destroy it once and for all. The truth behind the creation of mankind will be revealed when an old enemy leads our heroes on an adventure into the Hollow Earth. To save humanity they must fight the Vril, an ancient shapeshifting reptilian race and their army of dinosaurs (via IMDB)

• “Take out your PowerPoint, I’m going to dictate some slides.”
• “When I find you, I will dip your head in a bucket of shit!”

Viewer Quotes

• “Seems like it had a decent budget!”
• “Almost seems like a normal movie”.

What We Learned

• There are moon quakes- and lots of them.
• Moon God is Steve Jobs.
• The Earth is hollow
• Vril live forever
• Nokia 3310 phones are the best piece of technology ever invented.

Final Take

Meets expectations, so for a bad movie that’s a decent endorsement. Plenty of pop culture and political satire. As the viewer quotes indicate, the CGI and effects, are better than expected. Its been a while since we watched the first one, which I think was better than this, but when you’re making movies about Nazis on the moon, there’s only so many ways to amplify I guess…
