It's coming! I'm going!

Iron Sky opens in the Uae this weekend. Being as this is a Muslim country, that means Thursday evening. I should be going on Saturday afternoon with a mate or two. Review to follow.

Dear Finns

It's Iron Sky, isn't it? Since I posted about it and how much I want to see it, I've had a lot of page views from Finland. I WWOOFed there two years ago with Martti Gronfers and love the place. We've had Finnish friends here in UAE who've now moved on, love them still.
Initially, I was attracted to the news of a SF film made independently in Finland. Then I read more about the project and decided I loved every part of it. If anyone out there has seen it, I'd love to know if it comes up to expectations. Come on people.There's an awful lot of love in this post.

Iron Sky

I haven't seen this film. I probably won't get the chance to. I am already convinced that's my loss. Iron Sky is a comedy about a gang of Nazis who escaped to the Moon at the end of WW2 using anti-gravity technology. They decide to invade the Earth when President Sarah Palin restarts the space programme and lands another tin box on the Moon right by the base.
It's made by Finns (this is a purely good thing), was made on a church mouse budget - I really think they had to pass round the hat to raise the cash for it - and they seem to have used imagination rather than cash.
You can find the trailer here and can petition to have it shown in your area here.
If you do get to see it, please don't forget to tell me how it was.
