For the last few years I've been following with interest the progress of Iron Sky, an independently financed Finnish movie about Nazis hiding back on the moon and invading the earth.
Iron Sky premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and now I've had a chance to see it. But is it any good?

Was that Udo Keir I saw popping up in the trailer?
Having seen the full trailer, I think it looks fun in a completely barking kind of way!

Whilst I was always worried about whether this film could live up to its concept, I worry more about the fact that I live in a backwater independent cinema-less hamlet called Birmingham and thus may never get to see it on the big screen.

Glad it turned out ok but since I'm in Belgium i don't know when it will come out here. I was worried about Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy when all the backlashing began in the United States and I was relieved to see it was a successs. Are there any other films you feared were going to be stinkers but they turned out to be better than expected?

It sounded like he was going to say "reviewers hadn't live through the awfulness of World War 2" when he said: "reviewers hadn't lived though the awfulness of the Troma movies."
