Bizarre meter is pegged on this one: Iron Sky
Set in 2018, it tells a story where German Nazis, after being defeated in 1945, fled to the Moon where they built a space fleet, and are now ready to conquer Earth.

I saw that, got a good laugh and plan to see it just because of the comedic value.

The meter didn't just get pegged, it bent the needle!

No prizes for guessing who the US president is modelled on.

I've been following this since pre-production because a favorite band is doing the soundtrack (Laibach). It looks to be kind of a dark comedy so don't take it too seriously! They filmed in Australia of all places. Unlike Apollo 18, they are just having an albeit odd, laugh at an alternate reality coming to light in modern times. I plan to check it out!. A large small production or a small large production, either way, it should be good for a hoot!

They must have had a lot of fun filming this. I like the helmets and of course the autobahn (highway). Did they include a Beetle moon buggy?

This looks like a great bit of escapist nonsense. Well worth a look.

I've absolutely got to see this film! It could potentially be the funniest thing I see all year.
