7/10
Every bit as enjoyable as the first movie...
28 July 2020
First and foremost, I must say that for a sequel to the whacky 2012 movie "Iron Sky", then 2019s "Iron Sky: The Coming Race" wasn't too shabby. In fact, it fared quite well for a sequel.

I happened to come across this movie in 2020, not even knowing about its existence. But I overly enjoyed the 2012 movie, so of course I managed to find the time to sit down and watch "Iron Sky: The Coming Race". And it turned out to be as enjoyable as the first movie.

The storyline in out there, far, far out there - just as it was in the 2012 movie. But it is exactly that which makes these movies so enjoyable. I love the whacky storylines and the quirky characters.

I really think that "Iron Sky: The Coming Race" was a great continuation of the 2012 movie, so I was very impressed with this movie and also very entertained by its storyline.

It is surprising that such a movie has such great special effects, both CGI and practical. It really helped to bring the movie to life and make it believable. A big thumbs up to the special effects teams for their achievement with "Iron Sky: The Coming Race".

Now, having twelve of history's familiar persons appear as aliens was just brilliant. I totally loved that, with the likes of Adolf Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, Ghengis Khan, Mark Zuckerberg, Sarah Palin, Steve Jobs, Josef Stalin and others. That was alone made it well worth to sit down and watch "Iron Sky: The Coming Race". And also having set Steve Jobs up as a god with a cult of Jobists (the worshippers) was just hilarious given Jobs technological contribution to the real world.

"Iron Sky: The Coming Race" had a great cast of actors and actresses, and it is always enjoyable to watch Udo Kier in a movie, and he was just brilliant in "Iron Sky: The Coming Race".

This is an entertaining and enjoyable movie, with a very predictable ending; but a funny ending, nonetheless. If you enjoyed the 2012 "Iron Sky" movie, then you definitely have to watch this 2019 sequel as well. I am rating it a seven out of ten stars.
