Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Iron Sky
It was indeed a fun sci-fi spoof movie. I've got two episodes of Syfy's
new series "Helix" to watch tonight via Amazon Instant. This is Ron
Moore's ("Battlestar Gallactica") latest effort. The first 15 minutes
looked promising. Hulu may have it a month from now.

It was worse than that. Much worse.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Iron Sky
"Despite having only a budget of 7.5 million Euros, Iron Sky has the look and feel of a film made with thirty times that. As with Star Wreck, Timo Vuorensola and his producing partner Samuli Torssonen demonstrate that their forte is high quality visual effects. The ones produced here rival the work being produced by Industrial Light and Magic, Weta Workshop and other leaders in the field. The scenes as we see a flotilla of swastika-emblazoned zeppelins going into Earth orbit dragging meteors behind them and then opening up to launch hundreds of flying saucers from their insides have a dazzling detail and clarity that makes you gasp. The battle scenes between Nazi UFOs, fighter jets, Earth ships and the launching of the massively armoured Gotterdammerung are spectacular. The scenes where the Gotterdammerung fires its missiles and blows an edge of the Moon up in a massive detonation or the final shot pulling back from the Moon around the Earth to follow the tiny trails of nuclear missiles crossing the curve of the Earth are stunning shots. Equally good is the production design, most of the sets being conducted virtually and digitally inserted behind the actors where the crew take their leaf from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow http://moria.co.nz/sciencefiction/sky-captain-and-the-world-of-tomorrow-2004.htm (2004) and create an exquisite retro-world based on 1930s era technology.
