Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012) Reviews

• Terribly awesome!

  I'm not sure what some of these reviewers were expecting from a movie entitled "Nazi's at the Center of the Earth." Without giving away any spoilers, I can tell you that this is one of the best, terribly awesome movies I have ever seen. The plot is ridiculous, the acting is terrible, the special effects are a joke. But if you are thinking about renting a movie with this title, all of that is to be expected and celebrated. Even though the character development was bad,I couldn't look away because I didn't want to miss a single plot twist. Something unbelievable was happening every moment. I have no idea what sort of mind could come up with this movie or who would jump at the opportunity to make it, but I'm sure glad they did. This movie does so much wrong that it is completely right! If you enjoy ridiculous B movies, this is one you have to watch!

• Horrendous. Marvellous. Wonderful. Dreadful. Genius.

  Nothing instills confidence in a movie like the name Jake Busey. I was no more than five minutes into the running time when I had decided that I had found myself a friend in this film. Busey plays a suspiciously Aryan research scientist posted at a remote facility in Antarctica. A man whose credibility has been questioned by his peers, due to past associates disappearing and his inclusion of flesh-eating bacteria in his backpack. The discovery of a secret underground bunker leads to the imprisonment of the scientists by secret underground snow Nazi zombies led by the White Angel himself; Dr Mengele. Snow based Nazi films and Nazi zombie films are nothing new. We have had a few of them over the last few years, Outpost and Dead Snow being the most notable. With films about zombie Nazis however, one has to bear something in mind. They're zombies. They're also Nazis. That's usually all a film really needs. OK, well not always, but in this case the film errs on just the right side of cheese, making it exceptionally watchable. The gore is present in abundance and some of the scenes are actually a bit on the gross side. Maybe not gross exactly, there's a 'shower' scene which features the funniest Nazi zombie gang rape you're likely to see this year and an impromptu abortion scene would probably raise a few eyebrows should anyone actually ever watch this movie. I would like to particularly congratulate the filmmakers on their use of blue CGI for the explosive and artillery related effects, I am a big fan of blue CGI. This probably dates back to my childhood when basically all movies had blue electrical effects in them. There's some brilliantly evil and gruesome bits as I was just mentioning, but it's never taken in anyway seriously, brains and faces are slapped against the walls with resounding 'splats' on a regular basis. Mengele is great; Busey is fantastic and just when you think it's all going to end horribly in a sea of tedium and tired cliché you are presented with the film's coup de grace. Zombie Robot Hitler. Yes. Zombie Robot Hitler. And his Nazi UFO which is loaded with flesh eating virus missiles. The more I think about the friend I found in this movie, the more I think we should take things to the next level. Find this. Watch this. Don't blame me.

• Best movie The Asylum has ever made,lol right to the end!

  This thing was absolutely ridiculous due mainly to the plot,the plot, & the plot. I would love to know what the writers were thinking when they wrote it and how they thought it would come out on film. Everything that normally should have been right was wrong, and of coarse everything that should have been wrong was right, and it managed to be one of the most humorous attempts at horror I have ever seen. Everything that happened was totally absurd, but in a funny way. The acting was well, good enough to keep things rolling. There were so many WTHell moments,eye brow raising, & oh my's to keep you watching. The last third of it was the best, like when the machine opens & what happens afterward is totally awesome lmao. There is enough cheese in this to feed all the rats in NYC, So if you are looking for a good hilarious, gore filled film that is completely nuts then this is for you.

• Has to be seen to be believed.

  Hard to imagine selling this movie to a bunch of Hollywood film executives. No idea why they called it "...at the center of the earth," as it cheapens the movie and, in no way takes place at the center of the earth. Lots of "lost" history here, including the "hollow earth" theory, NAZI bases in Antarctica, NAZI UFOs, etc. Very uneven production values. The gore is very realistic; however, the cyborg is unbelievably bad in some scenes. Continuity in some of the action scenes is also pretty bad, particularly with the cyborg. The nudity, albeit brief, is pretty gratuitous and the abortion without anesthesia and the "zombie-like" rape is downright distasteful. Sound and photography are excellent. If you can handle the more gamy elements of the movie, you should give it a watch. I give "NAZIs at the Center of the Earth" a weak "6".

• Optimus Hitler

  Wow! 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 correctly A 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
