Iron Sky

Finland

Well this wasn't something you see every day: in 1945 some escaping nazis made it to the dark side of the moon (details undisclosed) where they established a colony, mined helium 3 and planned an attack on the earth to establish a new order of peace and love.

An elaborate production for such a silly idea...great sets, effects, etc. Some sharp satire with the POTUS being a crude caricature of Sarah Palin whose campaign manager, a truly nasty piece of work,  ends up leading the army against the nazis. The trouble was that since this was Finnish the humor (?) was elusive. Still I had to admire the thought and effort that went into it and think it would appeal to anyone looking for a completely fresh use of nazi villainy in film.
