Iron Sky has been a long time coming, with expectation slowly building via the enticing trailer and its use of fan-funding, and it proves to be an entertainingly daft labour of love. Whilst hardly Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich, for its low budget the design and low-end effects are impressively mounted, there is surprisingly enough story to fill the running time effectively, Laibach (!) turn in a strong musical score, and Gotz Otto strides commandingly through the film as the Fuhrer-to-be. Iron Sky is nevertheless prey to two of the main faults of low-budget productions - namely an awful lot of truly poor acting and really lame humour - but it also manages some quite broad but effective political satire at times, making it a real hit-and-miss film that strives to entertain throughout, either by impressing or simply being outrageous, and often succeeds.
