I Watch Films: Iron Sky: The Coming Race

Iron Sky: The Coming Race

At the end of Iron Sky a nuclear war wiped out everywhere on Earth, the survivors making peace with the moon Nazis on the far side of the (severely damaged moon). Sometime later a spaceship arrives from Russia, and the former moon-führer reveals that he is in fact a Vril, a shapeshifting reptilian alien, members of which have lived on Earth since the days of the dinosaurs. They now live in the Hollow Earth with the holy grail that is a power source that is desperately needed by the moon-dwellers.

If any of this sounds familiar then congratulations on your conspiracy theory knowledge or possibly being familiar with Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1871 novel Vril, the Power of the Coming Race.

There’s also a subplot about worshipers of Steve Jobs and Apple products. The film is very silly. It takes its premises fairly seriously.

Watch This: If dinosaur chariot races in the centre of the Earth sound like a fun time
Don’t Watch This: If this whole thing sounds like ridiculous tosh
