Title: I just watched Iron Sky
Post by: Scourge of Ages on March 02, 2014, 12:48:58 pm

(previous thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=79881.0)

And I don't think I've quite ever experienced such a tasty mix of absurdity, comedy, and poignancy. I got a little emotional whiplash towards the end there.

Highly recommended.

My favorite bits:

Spoiler:

The Downfall parody. The United Space Fleet contains an Aussie ship. The Russian craft, cobbled together and including the Mir station, has an ion cannon. Behavior of nukes in space reminded me of Freespace's bombs. Playing KSP makes suspending disbelief really hard, even in a comedy. And yeah, that's probably how the nations of Earth would respond in that situation :(

So So movie - great special effects and the Palin/Nazi propaganda parody was scarily realistic. Majority of acting was poor though and the middle of the movie did drag.

Has anyone played the game? It surely seemed to have awesome visuals, but don't know about the gameplay.

The Director's Cut is supposed to be coming out very soon; I'd like it if that removed some of the "dragging" feelings, but I'm not optimistic.

If you guys liked Iron Sky, you most certainly will like Dead Snow.
