Movie Talk: Iron Sky

[JBird]

Here's an idea that I'm "borrowing" from SourceFed and Film Sack, a YouTube channel and podcast, respectively. Just a spoiler-filled discussion about random movies that are currently streaming on Netflix (provided you have it (sorry if you don't)). Also, I don't really venture in the General Discussion sub-forum often, so I figured this could be a way to do so. And, depending on how many members, here, can get access to the movies in question through the aforementioned service, we can possibly make it a weekly thing(?).

Anyway, Iron Sky:

This was one of those films I chose to watch on a whim. Going into it, I didn't know much else about it, and the premise seemed like it would make for a stupidly fun movie... And yet, I was bored by the movie. I get the impression that the movie tries too hard to be a satire. And most of the jokes came off as being very hamfisted, rather than tongue in cheek. The only positive thing I can say about the movie is how well the CGI and special effects are. Especially when the Nazi's doomsday ship appears near the end, and how detailed the thing looked.
