Selected excerpts from reviews of Iron Sky.
In space, no one can hear you laugh either.
— William Goss, Film.com
Great idea, lousy execution: Iron Sky boasts one of the zaniest premises in recent memory, and somehow manages to squander most of its potential.
— Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
The film hasn’t the budget to match its dizzying concept, nor the wit to fill the gaps between.
— Matt Glasby, Flicks.co.nz
History tells us that you can’t fake trash classics and you can’t manufacture a cult.
— Tara Brady, Irish Times
Re-watch the teaser trailer, skip the final production.
— Sam Bathe, Fan The Fire
Nazis on the moon! What could be more brilliantly bonkers than the lunatic premise of satirical sci-fi action comedy Iron Sky? Sadly, Finnish director Timo Vuorensola fails to make the most of his conceit.
— Jason Best, Movie Talk
The space battle scenes are impressive, Julia Dietze is sexy and demure as the Nazi schoolteacher sent to Earth and there are genuinely funny moments.
— Mark Adams, Daily Mirror [UK]
Lowballing schlock and nothing more.
— David Jenkins, Little White Lies
Stylishly made with some terrific effects, Iron Sky also draws on everything from Star Wars to Dr Strangelove, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and a Sarah Palin-style US President in Stephanie Paul…
— Graham Young, Birmingham Post
Completely fails to deliver on its basic premise and is ultimately disappointing, thanks to a lazy script, poor performances and ham-fisted direction.
— Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
Let’s face it: it’s Nazis from the Moon invading Earth in flying saucers, if you’re expecting anything other than abject absurdity, you’re in the wrong movie.
— Tim Martain, The Mercury
Marginally more inspired and certainly more likable than Snakes on a Plane or The Human Centipede as net-spawned exploitation fodder goes, but you can safely wait for the DVD.
— Mike McCahill, Guardian [UK]
