VOD: Iron Sky - The Coming Race (dir: Timo Vuorensola, 2019)

"Wait - are you, like, actually insane?"

If you are looking for a film in which the heroes are chased by a lizard replicant of Margaret Thatcher on a chariot pulled by a stegosaurus in a hidden world below the Antarctic, then this is the movie for you.  The original Iron Sky, with Nazis hidden on the dark side of the Moon, held together narratively far better than this scattershot adventure romp, but that is hardly the point, as the manically silly plot bowls along without any regard for pretty much anything, acting and performances veer wildly and the hugely ambitious massive-scale effects work punches way above its weight.  Likes its predecessor, this is demented fun that just about works.
