Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012)

Touches You

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I don't see why IMDb don't have a rating of 0 - because this movie deserves it.I presume the actors knew what a load of rubbish they were being paid to "act" in. (Note: "act" is in quotes because the majority of these people talking in this movie wouldn't know "acting" if it bit them in the proverbial.) I also presume that Asylum studios really don't give a poo about how bad their movies are as long as they make money out of them. Unfortunately for me living in Asia, they seem very proficient at selling this rubbish to the few English speaking movie channels. I guess the Asians just don't understand what the movie is about.Anyway, back to the film... never have I seen such pathetic CGI. In fact, I suspect they didn't even use a computer to generate the images. They were probably drawn by hand and stuck together like a flicker show. The snowcat travelling over the snow was just hilarious. Ah! Maybe that's it! You're actually supposed to laugh at this and not even attempt to take it seriously.Why didn't Asylum think of that? Just add some canned laughter in the excruciatingly awful bits and it would be a pretty good comedy. But it's not a comedy and it fails at whatever it is attempting to be.Oh well, at least they got me to write a bad review. It's still on right bow on my cable TV. Some guy with black muck all over his his face is doing something with a bloke strapped down on a trolley.Oh dear, can it get any worse? Ooh, yes! The girl just slit his throat open. Now, why didn't he see that coming?

Given this is an asylum movie I expected it to merit a rating of 0 since most of their movies are absolutely horrendous. This one is slightly better as it's just plain awful. The story is ludicrous, the acting and the dialog is laughable...so much in fact that at times it appears that even the actors are having trouble keeping a straight face. Of course when I say actors I am using the term rather generously. So, as the name suggests the movie should be about Nazis at the centre of the earth. This is however misleading as they are not at the centre of the earth. They are about 300 feet down. Also they are zombies and cyborgs. So the name should be Zombie & Cyborg Nazis at the Centre of the Earth (with a Spacecraft). Yep, they have a spaceship. And they keep themselves alive by transplanting organs and skin from the people they capture in Antarctica. And of course they are planing world-domination using flesh eating bacteria. All this under the leadership of a robot Hitler. I swear I'm not making this up. The protagonists of the movie are a bunch of scientists who wear jeans and sneakers when in the snow. As one obviously does at one of the coldest places on earth. They get captured and some of them get forced to assist the Nazis with certain scientific problems whilst others are used for spare parts. And then they rebel....and I won't spoil the ending. The acting was terrible and the effects were bad. The story was ludicrous and so were the actions of most of the characters in the movie. And yet...this is not the worst Asylum movie out there. So definitely merits a rating of about 2.5 out of 10. Considering what the subject matter is and who made it, this makes it the best Asylum movie out there.

Now, I heard there was going to be an Adolf robot in this film developed by Dr. Mengele, so I had to watch just to see that.These Nazis that live under the Antarctic have their own sun and grow their own food. That's the Sci Fi part of this film that crosses genres. But, we can't immediately dismiss this as there are many who believe in Agartha, a legendary city that is said to reside in the earth's core.In their effort to establish a New World Order, a lot of blood is spilled.Ray guns, a spaceship, and a robot Hitler. Oh, what fun!Sometimes you just have to wonder what kind of mind comes up with these pictures, and why they get made.

When you've got The Asylum film company making a movie about Nazis in general and Dr Josef Mengele in particular you know you're not going to be watching anything less than car crash film making . A tasteless subject for cinema ? Certainly but we all remember that film where Laurence Olivier took on Gregory Peck's Josef Mengele which contained some of the most amusing dialogue heard in a 1970s movie . Okay the dialogue wasn't supposed to be amusing but any film containing Nazi despots that causes the audience to laugh out loud can only be a good thing . Would we be getting the same thing here ? To its credit this is not a film that can be described as boring . The premise of " Nazi zombies led by Mengele holding human experiments in the Antartic " isn't a film you see everyday and the grotesque tone of the film is very consistent . It's never a camp or jokey affair and takes itself very seriously which isn't necessarily a bad thing . After all if someone gets their brains pulled out or skinned alive by a Nazi doctor do we need a punchline ? It's certainly not a film that makes for pleasant viewing but no doubt the producers were aware of that and have resisted the temptation to make a blackly comical bad taste movie . Instead they've made a rather nasty exploitation movie centering around Nazi war criminals that while not being to everyones's taste does hold the attention
