Motherfucking Space Nazis are coming on February 11th

[Zor]

Thank the Emperor for CGI, otherwise these guys would never have been able to do this.

This just looks interesting, might watch.

[Gunhead]

What can I say, fuck oscars, this is the movie to see. I have my ticket to the invitation show here. Any movie that has Nazis from the moon cannot be all bad.

[madd0ct0r]

please tel me this is legit.

[Gunhead]

please tel me this is legit.

It is. The project has been ongoing for years now. The crew behind it is the same that made Star Wreck in the Pirkinning. We Finns are an awesome people.

[Grumman]

This shows great potential. Hopefully it will be as awesome as they make out.

[atg]

Anyone know what that music is they use in the trailer? I'm assuming its something written specifically for the movie. I want to see it just for that.

[Simon_Jester]

How's this going to be released?

[wautd]

The production values look a lot better than expected.

PS. for the boardgame geeks: voila

[mr friendly guy]

So what is it about?

[Mr Bean]

So what is it about?

Barack Obama loses the election to John McCain, Space Nazi's from the moon instantly invade.

[Iroscato]

It's been a long time coming, but at last the meteorblitzkrieg is almost here. (Generic evil cackle)

[TronPaul]

I have been waiting for so long. I need to see it if it comes to Chicago (it better). If you're a Chicagoan and haven't demanded Iron Sky be shown here do so on their site.

[Thanas]

Isn't this the movie made by the same idiots who got drunk, then attacked German police and then cried "Nazis" when they got their asses kicked?

I vaguely remember something like that and this movie looks like something only idiots like them would make.

[Dr Roberts]

It looks awesome!

[Grumman]

I vaguely remember something like that and this movie looks like something only idiots like them would make.

Is that your opinion as a film snob, or as someone who disapproves of treating the Nazis like Pinky and the Brain?

[Darmalus]

I was beginning to think this thing would never come out. Hurrah!

[Thanas]

Oh noes, disagreeing about a movie makes one a snob.

I just find it distasteful.

[Grumman]

I just find it distasteful.

Okay, I'll put it a different way: do you find it distasteful because you want less Wacky Nazi Science movies, or because you want better Wacky Nazi Science movies?

[Thanas]

Both. They use Nazis here mainly for the shock factor and "coolness".

[Simon_Jester]

From the point of view of someone trying to make an action movie, Nazis make the easiest movie villains imaginable.

Almost any act of evil or treachery can be attributed to them because it's less bad than what they did in real life, and almost anything the protagonists do while fighting them can be justified as the greater good. And they're easy on suspension of disbelief. Almost any crazy plan a Nazi villain has isn't that far out of line from the many crazy people within the Third Reich who really were working at cross purposes, to the detriment of their own war effort. If you're crazy enough to fund V-2s, you're crazy enough to fund antigravity flying saucers, assuming anyone can supply a demonstration piece for you at all.

The moviemaker's issue is made even easier because the Nazis had all the paraphernalia you need for the villains of an action movie, in real life, with plenty of material to draw on for visuals. Improbable superweapons? Check. Frighteningly competent engineers and tacticians? Check. Hordes of loyal foot-soldiers? Check. Underground fortresses and factories? Slave laborers? Home-grown resistance movements devoted to fighting them wherever their rule extended? Check. Good-looking uniforms for the henchmen? Symbols that can be plastered gratuitously over everything even associated with them? Check.

If the Nazis didn't exist, Hollywood would have probably tried to invent them.

But they often make for lazy filmwriting, because it is that easy. The people making the movie don't feel the need to put in the effort to make the characters three-dimensional or even two-dimensional when you've got Stereotypical Nazi Goons running around.

Sigh.

[Dass.Kapital]

Um...just raising a hand to second the request about the music sound track.

Is there any where the sound track can be purchased yet?

Much cheers to you and yours.

[Malagar]

The music used in the trailer is the last 30 seconds or so of Laibach's "B Mashina".

[gigabytelord]

Both. They use Nazis here mainly for the shock factor and "coolness".

Well lets see, cyber Nazis, cyber punk Nazis, steam punk Nazis, Zombie Nazis (the best kind), and now space Nazis... what the hell else do we have left, to some how find a way to get Nazis in? Next we'll have 'My little Nazis', they'll be blond ponies running around on rainbows screaming about the purity of Aryan love and some how get involved in the extermination of something random... I'm gonna go with the Carebears, no one likes them anymore anyways.

So watch Captain America. It had a Ratte tank, Amerikabomber, and even a triebfugel. Plus ray guns.
