Iron Sky: The Coming Race (2019)

Iron Sky: The Coming Race is special because it commits, with a straight face and a wicked grin, to the kind of gloriously unhinged sci-fi satire most movies are too timid to attempt. Timo Vuorensola stages a candy-colored apocalypse of pulpy spectacle—moonbase survival, Hollow Earth mythology, and creature-feature lunacy—where the fun comes from watching the film constantly top its own audacity. The vibe is loud, profane, and gleefully cartoonish, the sort of midnight-movie energy that turns absurdity into a feature rather than a flaw. It’s not for viewers craving grounded science fiction or subtle comedy, but if you’re on the fence and want something big, brazen, and joyfully weird, this one earns its place in your queue.

Iron Sky: The Coming Race is trying to be a loud, gleefully insane sci‑fi satire that crams hollow-Earth mythology, reptilian shapeshifters, and dinosaur-riding absurdity into one maximalist sequel. The problem is it plays like a grab bag of ideas with no discipline: the story lurches from bit to bit, the jokes often feel forced rather than sharp, and the writing leans on “isn’t this crazy?” instead of earning the chaos. If you need coherent plotting, consistent tone, or genuinely clever comedy, this will likely feel messy and exhausting rather than fun. Still, if you enjoyed the first film’s B-movie audacity and you’re happy to watch on pure camp energy (plus some decent production design), you might get a few guilty laughs out of it.
