Sure, it sounds like a bad Lloyd Kaufman flick from the 70s, but consider this film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow meets Close Encounters. Here’s the not-so-basic premise.
As World War II comes to an end in 1945, Hans Kammler and other German scientists make a breakthrough in anti-gravity research. From a secret base in the Antarctic, Nazi spaceships are sent to the ”dark side” of the Moon to establish the military base “Schwarze Sonne”.Their plan is to build a powerful fleet and return to conquer Earth. The film is set in the year 2018 when their descendants finally return.
The film is having its big premiere in Berlin, of all places, this November. So while we’ve got a bit of time before us here in the States get to see it, you have got to check out the newest trailer for the film after the jump. Motherf*cking Space Nazis!!
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is the WW II movie we’ve needed to see since the war ended. Some might consider it overlong or self-indulgent, but it showcases Tarantino’s filmmmaking skills at their finest and serves as an example of one filmmaker’s singular vision and immense storytelling craft. It is immensely entertaining, and at times brilliant, for its entire running time.
Those going into the film hoping to see lots of bloody action like some of the director’s other films are going to be somewhat disappointed. There is some violence and gore to be sure, but this is a war movie that barely features any of the war. Instead, Tarantino focuses on the people and a very personal story of revenge. This is what Inglourious Basterds is at its core: a revenge film.
From the first scene where we’re introduced to “Jew Hunter” Colonel Landa (brilliantly played by Christoph Waltz) and he lets young Shosanna Dreyfus go instead of killing her as he did with her family, the stage is set for Shoshana’s revenge on the man, and the Nazis, who took everything from her and so many others. This is not just Shoshanna’s personal tale of revenge, however, its the cathartic revenge for all Jews — and by extension all people — who suffered at the hands of the Nazis.

With Quinten Tarantino’s newest journey into the world of “instant cult classics” making it’s way to Cannes and getting some mixed reviews, the promotions machine for Basterds is kicking it into high gear. Their brand new website (with a very catchy background theme) went live earlier this week, and now three clips of the film have hit the net.
