Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreWhat do you get when you mix people who missed the boat on Iron Sky, likely saw The Frozen Dead and They Saved Hitler's Brain too many times? This silly film. As usual with low budget silliness, the acting is bad, the SFX are (amazingly) somewhat good, but the story is so silly. A group of researchers in the Antarctic encounter an underground hideout of Nazis, who are led by a somewhat alive Mengele. The Nazis are keeping themselves alive by harvesting flesh from their captives. Of course this doesn't explain how they've remained alive all these years, since there is no permanent population in the Antarctic so how have they remained alive all this time? We'll ignore that to go on to say that at least Iron Sky had some humorous bits. All this has (that I recognized) was Dominque Swain. Unless you have an hour and 40 minutes of your life you no longer need, avoid this.
... View MoreFirst of all, don't you just love it when a movie have alternate titles? Here on IMDb this movie is titled "Nazis at the Center of the Earth", but when purchased from Amazon, the DVD is titled "BloodStörm". Why? Right, well moving along to the actual movie. Wow, just wow! This movie was bad on so many levels. First of all, the story - Nazi's surviving from World War II in the arctic region where they have become undead zombie-like creatures? Sure, why not. But to make matters worse, lets throw some alien UFO technology into it as well. What else could possibly go wrong?The acting in the movie was rather staggering and painful to watch. Not even Dominique Swain could manage to do anything for this movie, and her performance here was actually quite bad. Usually I enjoy her movies, but this particular movie was painful to sit through. And Jake Busey, well I will not even go there, as I have been told if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all.The effects in the movie were adequate, though not really top notch. So at least that was a bright moment in this otherwise painful movie experience.As an avid zombie aficionado I come across a lot of zombie movies, many being B-movies and low budget productions, this movie however, is without a doubt one of the most ridiculous zombie movies I have ever had the pleasure of stumbling upon.Oh, and before I forget, the crowning of the movie had to be the preserved head of Adolf Hitler living on in a jar and sitting atop of a robot skeleton. Are you kidding me? That was the ultimate low point of the movie when that was revealed, and most of the times the CGI animation for this robotic Hitler was just awful to look at. There are some great swings and misses coming out of Hollywood, and this is definitely one of those."Nazis at the Center of the Earth" (or "BloodStörm") is a movie to be avoided. I don't say that often, but this movie has absolutely nothing to offer, unless you are beyond a hardcore fan of any of the people on the cast list.
... View MoreI enjoyed this documentary.I watch it for my school history research. I had heard that Nazis were not very nice people, but not sure how not nice that was. This film explain exactly why people not like Nazis. They have no sense of humour and they do not care that people get upset at having their face ripped off or spleen removed. Doctor Mengele is not a nice doctor. His bedside manner needs some work, and he needs refresher on infection control. Has nice hat and coat, however. Now I understand how bad Nazis are, even worse when zombies. I have decided not to become Nazi now. Was not sure until see this film. Maybe I think people say bad things about Nazis. Maybe they just misunderstood? No, Nazis are rather unpleasant. Yes, really. They not care about abortion or cut head off. This I have learned from this film and have cancelled interview at recruit bureau. Close thing, Pheww! Also, secret of UFO is explained. I have no need to watch discovery channel or Penn and Teller again because this film show me truth. German technology more advanced than Chinese or even Korean. I like that everything is made to last. Not shoddy plastic. Big rivets and sheets of iron - probably galvanized before assembly for better life.Wish more time spent on showing character of average Nazi soldier. Do he have wife and maybe zombie kids? What does he like to do on day off'? Does he watch television, maybe Oprah or Jay Lenno? Where he buy groceries and hobby supplies? What product to wash blood off? Must use a lot of it, whatever. How Hitler comb his hair? This is never explained and I worry sleepless about it. Otherwise great documentary on what became of master race after world war. I never believe they went to moon, so not easily fooled by lies and conspiracy theories. This is much easier to understand, simple truth of it.I would give ten points, but relentless seriousness in delivery means I can only give nein (!)
... View MoreWow! What did I just watch?I recall zombie robot Hitler, imagine Hitlers head on a mini Optimus Prime body, I'm calling him Optimus Hitler, and with the incredible gift of sub par Playstation 2 graphical power he attempts to take over all non Aryan countries by dropping flesh eating bacterial bombs from his flying Nazi saucer yes you read that correctlyA flying Nazi saucer which emerges from the center of the Earth no less, now I'm no expert on geology but I do know the center of the Earth is roughly 4000 miles below the Earths surface, I only bring this up as our "heroes" and I use the term heroes lightly as this group is as forgettable as a week old cheese sandwich left out in the sun, journey down a shaft that is nowhere near 4000 miles, perhaps 2 miles if I'm being very generous.A CGI snow-cat vehicle (surely renting a real one would have been more cost effective)A Wilhelm scream in opening skirmish, I call it a skirmish but it was really just four guys in a row shooting at a few other guys with no actual sense that they were shooting at each other, like watching one sided tennis, watch it and see.. Actually just watch grass grow instead.A zombie Nazi gang rape (just an excuse to get gratuitous boob shots in) and whatever happened to that girl? Did they kill her afterward? It all seemed so unnecessary and left a nasty taste in mouth."Saw" type torture porn scenes with the most efficient face peeling in history.I'm no expert on the fine art of peeling someone's face off but I imagine an incision across the forehead followed by a quick pull would not allow a face to come off unspoilt and then be stitched onto another head, it wasn't like that in "Face Off" which segues nicely into Dominique Swain who starred in that and whose career has gone so far down the toilet that Jake Buseys teeth act her off the screen here. Her character is hilariously inconsistent, she's hero-villain-hero, actually the only consistent thing is her bad acting.I actually enjoyed the last twenty minutes when Optimus Hitler shows up, one of our "heroes" attempts a daring escape by jogging away very slowly and is decapitated by Optimus Hitler in an unintentionally hilarious scene.The final battle is so naff that I couldn't help but smile, after Optimus Hitlers saucer crashes by aid of Jake Busey suddenly turning from villain to hero, presumably because the script told him to, we get a final face off between Optimus Hitler and Dominique Swain's bad acting. And if this film taught me anything its that the nastiest of evil is no match for unconvincing acting as Optimus Hitler sinks into the Antarctic waters immediately followed by Dominique Swain accepting a marriage proposal from some forgettable guy .as you do .after fighting a Nazi robot zombie Hitler. As movies from Global Asylum productions go this wasn't the worst, but that's akin to saying that stale biscuits are tastier than moldy bread
