Iron Sky: The Coming Race gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. 29 years after the events of Iron Sky, the former Nazi Moonbase has become the last refuge of mankind. Earth was devastated by a nuclear war, but buried deep under the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity - or destroy it once and for all. An old enemy leads our heroes on an adventure into the Hollow Earth. Lara Rossi and Vladimir Burlakov lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2019.

There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
