IRON SKY Official Theatrical Trailer

I can tell you that not all the Germans Army medical officer were that bad near the end of the WW2 and wanted the war finished but that might have been a rare occurrence he had lost all his family including his children and hated the Nazi's for example one operated on a late family member of mine who received leg wounds and saved his life.

LOL!!!!!! nice call

I think probably if you just look at this film as a bit of sci fi fun/action it will be an ok way to spend 90mins. No harm done if it's bad but I think it is probably worth seeing just for the visual aspects, if nothing else.

Contancts on Luna compromised....retreat to Mars, so schnell wie möglich.

I can see this gaining cult staus - its so bad its good - sort of thing. At least they trying a new sci/fi idea instead of flogging a dead horse (Yes George Lucas I mean you, Star wars 3D, get a grip man!!!)

Aww come on guys! I think this movie is just a harmless parody for entertainment purposes ONLY......much like "The Dukes of Hazzard", "Gilligans Island", and Fox News.

It needs to be seen with a certain mindset, like watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. I had a freind who hated "Starship Troopers" because he said it was so over the top. He didnt realize the director wanted it to resemble WWII propaganda movies.

Nazis in Sppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! lol its going to be a total laugh fest, there are other sneak peeks at the filming on the web and I had the idea from the start that this would be very much a dark humor film.
Cheese with extra cheese if you will.

Heinlein's notion of the militaristic society and bug-like aliens were probably the only thing that survived from the novel. I did like the first movie quite a bit. The sequels were horrible. Again, you had to enter into the spirit of the thing and watch it with a certain mindset to really enjoy it I think. A great movie though IMHO.

I would love to see someone make a version of Norman Spinrad's The Iron Dream but again, it would be such a strain on some people's sensibilities that don't enjoy a good parody. While we are talking Spinrad (looks around, finds himself alone) The Men in the Jungle just begs for a Syfy channel movie treatment. It would stretch the bounds of good taste and censorship to be certain, but a more powerful expose on the horror of war and the ability of power to corrupt totally you will be hard to find.

Likely not to see wide release.

ST won the hugo award for the best sci fi novel of the year 1959 - and ever since its been the object of controvery. it is an emmensely readable book, perhaps the best thet even heinlein-tripple hugo winner- has written. it is simply a story about war, this one some 5,000 years in the future, and about the soldiers that fight the war. infantrymen equiped with jet propelled armoured suits and fearsome weapons. above all it is about the making of a man - john rico- from the time he leaves school to enlist till he commands his own platoon of infantrymen

Critics have complained that heinlien has used ST to glorify war, to propound a political system based on a military oligarchy, of appealing to those instincts [best kept supressed] of violence and destruction. other writers have written satires in an attempt to discredit it entirely.

Yet whenever polls of the most popular science fiction novels are taken, ST invariably comes high on the list. And rightly so, because its one of those rare novels that can be read more than once. it is in every sense a classic of sci fi

Hmm... I'll have to see this movie if and when it comes across the 'instant download' screen on Netflix. Maybe it will turn out to be a "so bad it's good" sort of thing.

Some day, I may bore the forum with an account of having met one of the better known Paperclip scientists. I am continually amazed at how such dissimilar things may somehow connect, if only tangentially.

It would be great to see one of Heinlein's classics done well in cinema. Heinlein was a complex man who was very much the product of his era--a world in which the line between good and evil seemed more clear cut. There was a (relatively short) period when he would receive fans unannounced at his home in Colorado Springs, purely out of courtesy. Hard to imagine now!

The problem with this film is you'll have minority of idiots believing this could be possible some Nazis escaped to the moon after the fall of the Reich.

Well, there's never a shortage of the gullible. My guess re this film--still not having seen it--is that it will make a very small splash, add a small handful of goofballs to the world and a few laughs before either going camp as per "Plan 9", or just quietly fading.

Hope so. But I've yet to watch a movie starring Udo Kier that isn't mostly in the "so bad it's really bad" category.

I have a loud hawiian shirt thats so bad...... its good.

Or at least thats how one of my workmates described it.

Ya this looks entertaining ... I dropped into the Ufology Culture Clips and Comic thread too! Great addition.
