- TriviaAdler says Moon Nazi invasion on Earth begins at 5:45 a.m., exactly like the German invasion on Poland that triggered World War Two.
- GoofsThe Germans have lived all their lives on the Moon at 1/6th of Earth's gravity. When they come to Earth, they would experience the equivalent of 6G and would barely be able to stand let alone walk normally. Conversely, Washington ought to be clumsy in the Moonbase, particularly when running.

Featured review
IRON SKY is the perfect example of a modern-day B-movie, an international collaboration boasting plenty of excellent special effects to back up an involved and engaging storyline. It's not often I watch a film and think "there's something I haven't seen before", but it happened with IRON SKY.
The opening sequence is elaborately staged and quite captivating, offering a much better menace than that of APOLLO 18 (which I also watched recently). From there on then the film builds in complexity, introducing multiple shades-of-grey characters who embark on a story filled with twists and surprises.
At the end of the day, IRON SKY is a film all about the visual effects, and they're excellent throughout. Whether you're looking for interstellar warfare, colonised cities in space or more earthly destruction, this movie has it. The CGI is faultless, adding to the impression that this is far more than your routine B-movie.
There's plenty of satire in the film, aimed not just at the obvious targets but at America too - the benefits of a Finnish/German/Australian production. Quite a few of the central performances are decent and the quirkiness never lets up for a moment. For once, IRON SKY is a concept movie with a real story to go with it.
