"Iron Sky" Space Nazis are coming! Be afraid!
Has anyone seen the trailers for Iron Sky yet? It's billed on IMDB as 'action,' comedy,' 'sci-fi.' I don't know if this is going to be hilarious, hilariously bad or (as one critic put it) "a blitzkrieg of boring bad."
The premise is: Those "Nazi flying saucer" conspiracy theories were true and the Nazis used them to establish a lunar base (Does Newt know something he isn't telling us?). In 2018, the Space Nazis attack Earth with their fleet of flying saucers and spaceships that look like zeppelins.
Yeah, that's the premise; but, it gets whackier: The president of the United States in 2018 is played by an actress who seems to be doing an impression of Tina Fay, doing an impression of Sara Palin. Oh, and there's a sexy blonde in an SS uniform, with a miniskirt and go-go boots, right out of softcore S&M porn.
This is Plan 9 From Outer Space with the kind of special effects budget that Ed Wood would have sold his soul for!
Here's the first trailer on YouTube:

Oh, did I mention the Zombie Storm Troopers?

And what's with the flying saucers?
It's true that the Nazis had the world's most advanced rockets during the war, but America's top ex-Nazi rocket scientist, former SS Sturmbannführer Wernher von Braun, never got to play with any flying saucers.
