#LIVING DARK MOVIE MOVIE#

Now while I had no difficulties following the movie, I can also see someone used to the regular Hollywood 'tell it to the audience' type movies being lost with this film. But if you manage to push it past, you'll find interesting plot unfolding. That was not too difficult for me one I adjusted.

The movie leaves a lot for the viewers to fill in. You'll watch the characters do something and have it immediately cut to a later moment in time, or to a completely different scene all together. It felt like there were tons of shots missing from between the key scenes. And that is that the Iron Sky skips around, a lot. Now there are some few shortcomings in the film of course, few minor stuff here and there, but also one bigger aspect that was quite difficult to overlook. Nothing there is jarring or unnecessary feeling, like in majority of the other CGI motion pictures of today. There are many moments which I knew were definitely done with computers, but still were a blast to watch. I rarely could tell which stuff were done with practical effects and which were done with CGI, which is a very good thing. Now as expected from the guys who previously did the Star Wrek comedy films, they made absolutely brilliant CGI effects for Iron Sky. And I think it felt this way was because there was a subtlety in his acting which sadly vanishes under rest of the silliness in the film. (Oh well, I still have him as the Yuri in Red Alert 2.) Weirdly, Götz Otto being the go-to baddie of the movie, delivers somewhat dry and unnoteworthy performance. With Udo Kier being my absolute favorite who sadly goes somewhat underused with his too old to care and strictly for business Nazi führer of the moon guy. Iron Sky has a really good cast who deliver consistently strong performance throughout the film. It has its many fun moments and true laugh out loud scenes, specially made for those viewers who are into internet/computer/pop culture related stuff, which presence makes sense considering the guys who made this film are 'self taught' young film makers who basically 'grew up' making movies of their own, and are the children of the Internets. And as one would expect, the movie is absolutely ridiculous. No, its more in the line of campy Nazisploitation and over-the top action, as one would come to expect. It's not a masterpiece of dramatic cinematic flavor on line with Citizen Kane or Pianist with some deep philosophical dialog. Iron Sky tells a story about 'freaking space Nazis from the dark side of the moon coming back to earth'. For those that do not know, Iron Sky is a Sci-fi action comedy from a team of Finnish 'independent' film makers lead by Timo Vuorensola as the director. I saw the Iron Sky recently in a preview screening.
