I really wanted to like this movie, I really did. It had the biggest budget ever for a Finnish movie and a scifi!, but it does not help in the end. What went wrong? Well, if the funniest scenes are shown years before as teasers to the movie, then it tells much in my opinion. The jokes in the movie feels so forced and do not feel funny. I know that it is not a serious movie, but is this really the best plot they came up with after 7 years since the last movie?
The plot seems interesting at start. Last survivors of earth is living on the former nazi moonbase. Struggling with technology, food and everything else. The main character a strong female named Obi child to Renate and James from the first movie. Obi meets an Russian survivor who arrives to the base suddenly and then things starts to go wrong. Sasha is played by an Russian actor, but still feels very forced with his bad English accent, this has been done so many times. He's struggle for acceptance trough jokes is also a bit tiresome, but funny at some parts. Iron Sky The Coming race also introduces a Steve Job cult, who has some funny jokes.
The biggest let down is for sure the part of movie where Obi, Sasha and other characters starts their journey to the hollow earth. Before this Obi has a fight with Wolfang who returns from the last movie and finds out that Wolfang is an alien, he then tells to Obi that he has the cure for her mother who is sick. Obi is trying to get find the source of Vril's power which is found at Vril's base in the hollow world. The movie turns to an uninteresting chase at this point.
The hollow earth is the home of Vril a lizard alien who came to earth before humans and also created humans. At this point it is also explained that Vril's where camouflaged at world leaders in past and responsible for many bad things that happened at earth. Among the leaders we can see Hitler, The pope, Thatcher. These characters do have some funny lines, but the actor playing Hitler do not resemble him much and Hitler has very few lines, he just focuses on the chase after Obi and her company. Coming race got the same dark theme as the last movie, but the last movie did nearly everything better.
The movie do not really have any good battles, which is strange with such a big budget. The same guys made in past Star Wreck without a budget and those films got more fights. I can recommend the movie for people who like dinosaurs and nicely done aliens. The actors can't be blamed they did what they could for the plot and the acting feels professional, but the plot feels like it was thrown together for a cheep fan movie.
