Sky Sharks (5 Stars)

What do you want from a film? I like films with a well written story and good character development, preferably with a mix of action and romance. But if a film has Nazis, zombies and flying sharks, who cares about the rest? Those three ingredients are enough to make anyone happy.

Shortly before the end of World War Two a secret project was developed to create super soldiers to win the war. It was made possible to revive dead soldiers to fight as zombies, unquestioningly loyal and impervious to pain. Added to this, sharks were genetically modified to be used for them to fly through the sky. After decades frozen in the Arctic, they attack planes in the sky, the sharks eating anyone who falls out. The only hope against the Nazi zombies and their flying sharks is a reformed Nazi who's now living in America.

The film is ridiculous, but sublimely ridiculous. However silly the plot might seem, once you sit and watch the action you'll be swept away. One of the strong points is the music used. The mixture of heavy metal and 1980's electropop puts the viewer in the mood for the excessive gore.

The obvious comparison is "Iron Sky", but this is a much better film. I've been told that the film was made in a mixture of German and English, but the version I watched in the cinema today the English dialogue was dubbed into German. I can't wait to see the original version.

I don't know if "Sky Sharks" will be shown in cinemas outside of Germany, but I strongly recommend watching it on the big screen if you get a chance.
