Much more amusing in theory than in execution.

Vuorensola's sci-fi comedy is uneven, its humor never quite matching the luster of its visuals.

i really enjoyed the film and game i have watched it 20+ times and still not get bored plus the actors play their parts well and the way the film mocks usa is funny and one of the most important things is that Julia Dietze plays renate and she is Sexy and speaks good english :D but i would of liked it more if James would of stayed black throughout the film but the ending came far too soon and it wasnt as happy as i thought because i would of rather of had the film ending take place 2 months later where the **** were on earth and renate and james were married

It's not terrible, by any means: just not nearly as funny or cruel as its killer premise suggests.

thought it was a pretty good B movie but probably could have been a bit more camp with the **** theme not really used to its ultimate... very good special effects for a low budget flick

Iron Sky is definitely a fun movie . With the mixer of si-fi and comedy its just never boring . Good story , it was so different and script was kinda funny too. Most of the films like this just dont work out but it really did. The cast was amazing and funny on their own way. and the visual effect of the film was surprisingly amazing. I mean how did they do all those with a budget of â

I can count on one hand the amusing or slightly funny moments this movie had. That and the occasional cleavage saved this movie from a rotten 1/10, still, not really a recommended flick.

I had hoped it would be fun. It was not. The comedy is very weak, the "satire" has no teeth. The CGI is mostly well done.
