| Review: I heard about this movie in a travel in Finland in 2010. In a modern art musem of Helsinki, there was a room and a fake newspaper about a Nazi invasion from the Moon. The music of the trailer was then really good! The director was looking for fan investors. I did not expect the story and the special effects being so good, after the experience of Star Wreck. Even if it is full of CGIs, these are not cheap. The colours are very grey and dark, but many small objects have been included to make it more fun and more realistic, like the calendar in the school room and the furniture of the president. Plenty of ideas have been given by the fans all along the production, things have been designed by them. This helped for sure a lot the artistic direction, even if it may be difficult to filter all the entries. Moreover, the story has a rythm, keeps the suspense and has all the political incorrect humour I like. The acting is not so complicated, but they do what they need to do. |

The movie sometimes look a bit cheap or amateur, but this is largely compensated by the fun it provides, from the original idea to the details that you mention, the actors and the whole craziness of the thing. Visual effects are very good looking but could have been better used(the operation "Meteor Strike" or something like that could have been better introduced to make more impact).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, 7/10 for me as well.
I heard a sequel is in preparation: Iron Sky: The Coming Race.
