Surprisingly good

When I decided to watch &apos;Iron Sky&apos; I expected to be entertained by a tasteless and offensive piece of trash. Instead I was entertained by a reasonably intelligent and well made sci-fi comedy that also works as political satire. Of course the idea of nazis on the moon is bizarre, but all in all I did not feel offended by the film (I will explain in a minute why not).

In 2018, the US return to the moon. There, astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) loses contact with mission control because he is attacked and captured. His attackers are the guards of a moon fortress where the nazis are hiding who escaped the &apos;downfall&apos; of the Reich in 1945. The nazis discover Washington&apos;s mobile and decide they need more of these devices to finally make their ultimate weapon operational - the weapon that will allow them to conquer earth. Accordingly they send an expedition (headed by their presumptive next Führer Klaus Adler, played by Götz Otto) that lands in New York... There are a couple of really good ideas in the film. For example, Adler has no trouble at all taking over the re-election campaign of the president (Stephanie Paul), who is clearly modelled on Sarah Palin. In this respect reality has of course trumped satire. There are also a few nice quotes of earlier films. When Paul as president sees her campaign faltering, she throws a tantrum that reminds you of Hitler&apos;s in &apos;Der Untergang&apos; (Hirschbiegel 2004). Another film quoted is Kubrick&apos;s &apos;Dr Strangelove&apos; (1964). The anti-racist message of the film is nicely packaged and not too obtrusive; it is one of the things that prevents &apos;Iron Sky&apos; from being offensive. The other is that the film mocks and ridicules the nazis quite effectively. On the downside, most of the acting (except Kirby&apos;s and Julia Dietze&apos;s, who plays Adler&apos;s fiancee) is no more than alright, and the storyline does get pretty convoluted. Still, all in all I was pleasantly surprised.
