Nazis at the Center of the Earth

"Dead...
but not gone."
I'm sure everyone heard of the finnish sensation Iron Sky, in which astronauts uncover a hidden nazi base on the moon, triggering an all out war between earth and the moon nazis. Pretty good movie, although not really mind blowing.
I'm also pretty sure most of you haven't heard of the mockbuster version of Iron Sky, Nazis at the Center of the Earth, the movie this review is about.

While Iron Sky was entertaining, it didn't really surprise me, I kind of expected most of the things happening in the movie.
Nazis at the Center of the Earth on the other hand is pretty insane. It's almost impossible to wrap your head around the events unfolding, mostly because the characters act like complete idiots and do things you would never expect a human being to do, but that is of course kind of the point of mockbusters.


Researchers (why are there always scientists fucking up in these movies?) running around in Antarctica fall down an ice shaft and manage to discover an enormous opening under the ice containing a whole landscape. Mountains with forests, plains, nazi headquarters, if you can imagine it, it's there.
Of course, they get captured and eventually discover that one of the scientist have been in on the whole nazi-hiding-in-ice-conspiracy all along. Not really surprising, but it's presented in an absolutely awful way. It's pretty great!

There's honestly not that much more to say, some characters get killed, other try being heroic, Hitler shows up in a mechanized armor.
Oh wait! Hitler shows up in a mecha!
Yeah, this movie is fucking epic.

After watching movies like 200 M.P.H. and Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, I was starting to lose faith in The Asylum. Nazis at the Center of the Earth turned that frown right upside down.
