Filmography:
The Iron Sky Incident has reduced the Earth to a hollow desert because of nuclear war, and the former Nazi-established lunar base has become the last refuge for mankind. But buried deep beneath the wasteland of the earth there is the ultimate power that can save the last part of humanity or destroy it once and for all--- holy grail.
In search of the legendary Holy Grail, human "heroes" venture into the Hollow Earth, inadvertently revealing the truth behind human creation. To save humanity, they must fight against an ancient underground humanoid race, Vril, and the dinosaur army led by Hitler...
Steel 2: The Coming Race is a sci-fi comedy film written and directed by Finnish director Timo Warrensola, starring Julia Diezer / Tom Green / Udo Kiel / Lloyd Kaufmann / Stephanie Paul / Kali Katonen, and the film premiered worldwide on January 16, 2019. The film's picture is exquisite, and the photography is stable, just like the thinking space that has not kept up with the rhythm of the times has set a delicate sci-fi shell.
Seven years ago, "Steel Firmament" won about $8.14 million at the box office at a low cost, and like the previous game, the film trailer finally launched a crowdfunding campaign for fans, calling on everyone to donate money for the film, "Steel Firmament 2: Future Race" budget of about 10 million euros, the film has been supported by the Berlin Film Foundation, and successfully raised $1.8 million for script development and promotion.
The director of this film, Timo Warren Sola, is a crazy sci-fi fan, and it is more appropriate to describe this guy as talented, but the talent flowing out is black, specializing in dark comedy, full of cold jokes. This veteran science fiction movie fan and computer genius, because of the playful filming of "Interstellar Wreckage" and "Steel Firmament", is not only one of the "Twelve Upstarts of Hollywood Science Fiction Directors", but also put on the halo of "the next Spielberg".
In 2012, he used "Iron Sky" to play a bunch of science fiction movies and "political correctness", and in "Iron Sky 2: The Advent Race", the Aryan and Black Brother's descendant, the Virgin "Lower Fan", counterattacked the earth, from "District 9" to "Jurassic World", when Hilett appeared in the picture riding a T-Rex, it was another circle of science fiction movies that were ravaged. The two films that have been hacked the most should be Apple and Apple mobile phones, and the only one in the film that is praised is the Nokia mobile phone, which may have something to do with the fact that the director is a Finn, and we have the same patriotic feelings as our country's support for Huawei.
The plot of "Iron Sky 2: The Pro Race" is actually particularly simple and even a little boring: it is said that aliens came to Earth in the Cretaceous Period, created humans, and then pretended to be human beings to cause human beings to fight their own battles, until the outbreak of nuclear war, the only remaining Earthlings hid in the dark side of the moon, and the aliens had no choice but to hide in the hole in the South Pole of the Earth. Several Earthlings ran to the South Pole to steal infinite cosmic energy and then destroyed the aliens by the way.
However, the director is using such a simple story to continue to open the black, this time the black area is simply a vast territory, from the barbaric era of the underworld future world, up and down five thousand years, religion, theology, science and technology, etc., all can be used to play the piano!
The first black capital of all countries is alien disguise, and the opening chapter is the German female president and the Russian president who plays with the muscles of the treasure (please take the seat of the fans themselves);
Then followed by the closed system of black Apple, the current CEO, super users, jailbreak a lot, and then crazy spit that Apple's mobile phone comes with too few wallpapers, single ringtone;
Ridicule Hitler;
Play the broken "Last Supper" and see who is in this "Last Supper": Hitler, the US female president, Stalin, Thatcher, the Catholic Allah, Zacker burke, the Roman Emperor, and even Genghis Khan;
The origin of mankind is not spared: the aliens ate the hormone apple for two monkeys named Adam and Eve, and they multiplied into humans...
The director may want to create a completely different work from "Iron Sky", and he did: "Jurassic Park", "The Last Supper", Jobs, old Nokia phones, aliens, underground kingdoms... With a lot of banter and satire, people gradually forget that this film is the sequel to a film that is mainly based on spoofing Germany during World War II.
It's just a pity that this film does not reach the core level of "Steel Sky".
The charm of "Iron Sky" lies in satisfying the parallel time and space under the concept of alternate history, the conspiracy theorist fantasy of the black technology of the Third Reich, and to this "Imminent Race", it gradually involves factors such as aliens and geocentric world theory, imaginative imagination, the core of political irony, and increasingly progressive pictures, but the plot of this film is really childish and ridiculous, and the story gradually deviates from the parallel world of advanced Nazis, and comes to the fabricated fantasy of the history of human origin, no longer science fiction but magic.
If "Iron Sky" can make people think of Quentin's "Shameless Bastard" and Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day", then this "Steel Sky 2: Imminent Race" will make people think of Hollywood spoof comedies represented by "Scream". Yes, in addition to maintaining the roughness of being a niche geek movie, the style of the sequel has been completely different from the previous game, it is a work of spoofing for the sake of spoofing, and then put on the big name of the previous work, which is called the sequel.
When watching "Iron Sky 2: The Approaching Race", it is suggested that fans can ignore all the science, common sense, theory, logic, and all the usual tricks in Hollywood commercial films, because it is clear that director Warren Sola has not considered these things at all, nor wants to take care of the audience's feelings. As a heavy fan of science fiction movies, a die-hard fan of Star Trek, and a Nordic with a humorous logic as cold as the weather in their country (Finland), the Iron Firmament series satisfies his personal (bad) tastes. As a movie fan, he was successful; as a director, he was happy.
