I don't know how many of you read Twichfilm, but I have more or less followed the site for a while now. I'm not a big fan of horror films, let alone Thai/Japanese ones, etc, so I didn't really pick up a lot of their recommendations. But this, this is something else. Synopsis:

Quote:
in 1945, realizing that the war was taking a turn for the worst, the Nazis sent a collection of their best and brightest to establish a secret base on the moon where they would nurse themselves back to strength and develop their powerful military technology until the were ready to return. That day will arrive in 2018.
Trailer is up, you can check it out here:

Oh and did I mention, it's a Finnish film? Pretty crazy, didn't know they had the budget for these kinds of things.

Be nice, Russ.

I guess if there's one "bad" thing about the constant influx of new articles on the main page, if you don't come to the site for a day, you can miss some nuggets that are quickly lost to the void.

"MotherFucking Space Nazis"

 

three and a half years later and it's finished.

 

Why don't more trailers use the word "motherfucking", by voice over man? It made me that much more amenable to the rest :)

 

If they'd said "Motherfucking Margaret Thatcher" in the Iron Lady trailer it might have made me see it.

I like the design, but I'm getting the vibe of trying too hard.

Probably, but it's tongue in cheek(i)ness may save it.

 

Plus, Udo Kier :)

Yup. The earlier teases jabbed fewer figurative elbows into the figurative ribs.

What is that ridiculwsome song playing in that trailer?

 

Also, is that... did they... is that really Sarah Palin as a character in this thing? No to that.

The song is "B Mashina" by the Slovenian band Laibach.

Sold. Going to this based on Laibach alone.

Original teaser/trailer:

Second teaser/trailer (using Laibach's B Mashina without other audio like dialogue from the movie as you see in the new trailer - least amount of 'interference' if you like)

I really like the "Theme song" from the teaser...it's like a Bond song

Gabe T, It is not the...Real Sarah Palin, it is the...Reel...Sarah, portrayed by an actress!  She is...President of the USA!  Relax, it is a...Nazi's Invade The Earth Comedy, not something more serious!  Hey, maybe the Space Nazis...The Reich Stuff, and Blow up the...White House, with...Reel Sarah in it!

I just found out this recently premiered...in Berlin.

 

Is that even legal?

I think that's alright, as long as the German audience didn't get some localized cut of the film where the Space Nazis win.

So, caught this at a Midnighter at SXSW.  It's ok.  Fun with a couple of beers at midnight.  The first third is the best, but it just sort of devolves and becomes less funny and less about FUCKING MOON NAZIS.  I wouldn't tell you to kill yourself to see it, but provided you can get a little tanked before and during it, I think you'll have a good time.

Saw this one tonight: fun, but a bit unfocussed overall. There's some great stuff at the end with the Sarah Palin-esque President and the U.N., and while the ending is extremely derivative it's fun in a cynical kind of way. mediumdave is right in that the first third is the strongest, and loses steam when the main characters travel to Earth. It's a pity they didn't do more with James's Aryanification, but it's a lean movie (Running 1hr25mins) and has that feel of a film that simply ran out of money before they could shoot the connective tissue that would've rounded out the story. You get the sense they were trying to cram several years' worth of story threads into 85 minutes, and the result is a film that seems to regularly distract itself with stuff that just isn't as fun as the actual Space Nazis. 

 

This is especially true of the villainous/stupid (Pick your favourite) fashionista/PR consultant character, who literally does not do a single thing throughout the course of the film that makes any kind of logical sense. Not a thing. She's a walking black hole of plot, and the filmmakers seem determined to only make her even more bizarre as the film goes on. The problem is, she's actually kind of irritating as a personality so any enjoyment we're meant to glean from her wackiness is lost.

 

However, the effects are surprisingly good, there's some excellent art direction and costume design on display (Love the steampunk-ish Moon Stormtroopers) and Laibach's score is awesome. Like MD said, keep your expectations low and your blood alcohol level high and you'll have fun. It's not quite the cult classic in the making it wants to be, but it's a fun diversion.
