Movie Review: Iron Sky (Blu-ray, 2012)

When Finnish musician Timo Vuorensola isn’t hammering out tunes for his band Älymystö he’s making movies. Iron Sky is his first feature and from what I’ve seen he seems to have a delightfully oddball sense of humor and possible career as a successful director. Any movie about Nazi’s in space has gotta be gold, right?

It’s present day in America, and we’re doing what we’ve done numerous times over the past 50 years – explore the moon. This time it’s a little different though after the discovery of a base built by Nazis in the 40’s two astronauts have their mission complicated by space-roaming soldiers from the “Fourth Reich”. One of the astronauts, James Washington (Christopher Kirby) survives the attack and flees. He’s eventually captured by General Wolfgang Kortzfleisch (Udo Kier, Andy Warhol’s Dracula); Washington is forced to help the Nazi’s out as they venture back to earth.
