The 25th Reich (2012)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Load of rubbish!!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I bought this movie hoping it would be in the same vein as Iron Sky, oh boy was I wrong! A group of American soldiers head in to the Australian outback to track and kill 5 Pumas carrying a big metal puma detecting box. But once activated the box instead of detecting pumas, it transports the soldiers back in time. Here they are attacked by killer insects and discover a crashed alien spaceship which is stolen by a traitor in their squad.They use the box to send themselves into the future where not only have the Nazis have won the war but they now plan to launch an attack on the heavens.This is very a tedious film with the first 30 odd minutes spent vainly trying to build some depth to the characters, instead it just drags on and on and seems intent on showing the soldiers to be stereotypes instead of the homage to 50s sci-fi/war movies that I believe they were supposed to be.The plot is lacking and plods on until near the end when it actually picks up as it becomes an almost enjoyable B-movie, well that is until one of the soldiers is raped by a Nazi robot spider! The movie finishes on a promise, or should that be threat, of further movies to come.The acting on the whole is adequate but at times it is so woefully cringe worthy you will be reaching for the remote.While it does have its moments, I couldn't recommend it and would advise giving it a miss.

Hahaaa, did I like this flick. there's a lot out these days that brings you back to the old B-flicks from the good ol' days. Iron Sky (2012) was one example but this one hits it all.The way the acting was done surely brought me back to Lee Marvin (the cigar anyone) and those classic thespians. The way it was shot brought me more to the old school parade. Yes, this was big fun. Even as it isn't politic correct when the Nazi robots did came in. What they are saying could offend people but don't take it all too serious. It's still a big joke. And there's a lot of cheesy CGI but it works out fine here because it can't be taken seriously. And it did remind me of time travelling with the army in The Final Countdown (1980). Did I had fun and laughter here. But I do understand that a lot of 'casual' viewers won't understand it but for the geeks out there of B-flicks, whatever they saying, pick this one up.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 1/5

If you like some cheese in your movies, this one has it! But, it was done so well. The characters are very stereotyped, but believable for the era. The special effects and CG is borderline terrible, (laugh out loud),but the story is top notch and acting very good. You get a good feeling for the characters and their clashing ideals. I've seen plenty of bad B movies, but this one is highly rated, right up there with best! Highly recommended! I loved it! You'l love it too, if you like 40's - 50's style of sci-fi. And I'm really picky about my movies and TV shows. They intended a sequel, but better leave this one to the imagination.

a B movie. unrealistic adventures, pieces of Sci Fi, almost nice special effects and Australia of beautiful images. not bad because it is out of ambitions.not original because the recipes is to old to be impressive. only kind of craft. charming in few scenes, boring in another, fake in all. but not waste of time. first, for who loves this kind of gems from another age of cinema. than - for the hunters of low budget movies in which drops of craziness of a scriptwriter is essential. in fact, it is only fruit of breaking news, need of new sensations and passion for conspiracies. and, with this virtues, it can be bearable.
