Iron Sky. From what I can gather from the trailers, it's a comedy about a UFO invasion, courtesy of an escaped group of Nazis. It just looks so cool, and the soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LViMHXlbhqs) is downright poignant.

More to the point, I heard that it has already been shown in Europe. Can anyone give more information on it? Maybe even a review?

It was shown in Berlin Film Festival, where it was given positive welcome by audience but flattened by critics somewhat. There are already few reviews in IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034314/).

It's soundtrack is great from what I've listened.

I considered making the topic myself, but I was bit scared that some people would not see past the nazi part, and the topic would devolve into argument whether or not it is right to make comedy about nazis. We already have those in IMDB.

Oh, and the prequel comic (http://www.ironsky.net/sneakpeek/issueone/) was good too.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I refrain from referring to IMDB. And thanks for linking the comic.

I waited for someone to make this reference. That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about Iron Sky some time ago.

I've been following this for a while now. Awesome that it's finally done, can't wait to watch it.

Me too, I think I saw the first trailer a few years ago, I'm really looking forward to it. Should be amusing.

EDIT: Also, just listened to the linked song, very good, though if they're going for comedy and not poignant as the overall feel of the movie I dunno how well it would fit.

Also, just watched the official trailer, I approve of the obligatory destruction of the Statue of Liberty...

Yes, I have the wallpaper for this movie for years already. It's just the kind of movie that I know I'd like.
