Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I found this the be a very enjoyable movie, especially if you liked a similar film that came out a while ago, "Nazis At The Center Of The Earth". Here the characters are more developed and the story concentrates principally on the five American soldiers sent on this mission. Combining minor elements of a WWII flick with some good claustrophobic sci-fi/horror, there is some really, really nice camera work here--- it's quite beautifully filmed. Even when you see the opening titles, you will know that a lot of love was put into the making of this picture, and it definitely shows. The special-effects are nicely done as well. Sure, a few plot holes here and there, and you definitely have to watch it more than once to appreciate all the nuances.

Very brief review; 25th Reich is an obvious exercise in making a perfect b-movies replica, this is its main appeal, and if it doesn't sound good to you then leave it alone because it will have nothing to offer you.If on the other hand you love cinema and everything associated with it, especially 50s to 70s black&white scifi movies, then 25th Reich has it all.Plot: a group of GI travel in the past to recover a spacecraft in the exact time it has first landed. There's not much to say without spoiling the film, and when the surprises come you will think "of course, how can this kind of film not have that".Once again, this is the main charm of this film; i found it very amusing and entertaining, even the ending. My final vote: an amusing 7/10

As a kid, I loved to watch old war movies. I still do! And back then, there seemed to be a never ending supply of them. Many of them, I later found out, made by B-movie specialist Sam Fuller. The 25th Reich took me back to those days. It is a film that seems to have been made with a desire to rekindle those nostalgic feelings, while also slipping off to places that the 50's war pics would never have dreamed of going, mainly due to 50's censorship. Set in Australia in 1943, a small unit of G.I.'s are tasked with tracking down some escaped pumas only to discover that they've been duped and their mission has a totally different purpose... Sam Fuller meets 50s science fiction pulp! Crazy stuff I admit, and I had a smile on my face all the way through it. Initially, I thought some of the acting and FX were coming across as a bit cheesy, but then I realised the filmmakers were deliberately echoing the spirit of the films of that era. I'm not sure if the younger generation will necessarily make that connection, but I sure did. Without a large budget, the filmmakers seem determined to throw everything they could at the screen, but not to cover up their lack of resources. They did it because they wanted to. They did it to make a film that was good and fun. With a nice sense of tongue in cheek bravado about it, they really delivered. I wasn't fully sure what to expect, and it took me a bit by surprise, but in a good way. Sam Fuller isn't really dead. His spirit just moved Down Under!

Australian cinema has a long tradition of cultivating, odd, fascinating genre hybrids, films that mix traditional movie elements with aspects of the local culture to create a unique blend. Russell Mulcahy (after his various Europop music videos, and before the singular atrocity of HIGHLANDER 2) directed RAZORBACK, a smart, garish monster-on-the-loose saga that remains a particular highlight of his career. Simon Wincer, prolific director of family friendly fare such as FREE WILLY, crafted the appealingly nasty slasher movie SNAPSHOT with Sigrid Thornton and a menacing Mr Whippy (a popular ice-cream franchise signalled by a white van continually playing a friendly jingle). George Miller's repeated odes to local car culture, samurai ethics and post-apocalyptic barbarism are other obvious examples. One of the most fascinating local examples of this tendency in recent years is THE 25TH Reich, a WWII men- on-a-mission saga that blends soldiers in combat, time travel, and everyone's favourite foe from recent German political history. The result is a witty, engaging mix of eccentric SF ideas, low-budget craft, chutzpah, and sheer cinematic balls. You probably haven't seen anything like this in a long while, or possibly ever. (THE 25TH Reich does play off an alternate vision of the present and future - viewed through the lens of resurgent Nazism, to alternately comedic and horrific effect - ala Philip K. Dick's THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE and FATHERLAND by Robert Harris, two SF novels that also examine the trope of Nazis triumphing during the second World War to different ends).American soldiers circa WW2 hunt a rogue puma in the Australian outback, then stumble across mysterious events that will transport them through time. An alternate reality presents them with an old foe that has re-armed itself with spectacular new technological advances. The soldiers must fight numerous battles - some with their newly discovered enemy, others closer to home - to succeed in their mission and possibly save the world. THE 25TH Reich holds a number of surprises for viewers, many of which are best not revealed in this review. Like the characters on screen, the filmmakers wield high-tech technology (the film was shot in widescreen HD on the RED camera) and more down-and-dirty methods (the movie takes place in the middle of the arid Australian bush, and the outback locales are spectacular throughout) to craft a fun and amusing story. Some nasty, violent mutant critters make various appearances, and the Nazi's sinister advances with robotics have to be seen to be believed. (The fate of one major character captured by a mechanical adversary is a grotesquely funny highlight). Some initially cornball characters eventually gain enough depth to stick in the mind after the film's conclusion, and the movie carries its wild ideas - conveyed through punchy action scenes and some nutty but slick special FX - to a clever and creepy conclusion with a minimum of fuss. All up, THE 25TH Reich is a nice change of pace in this time of cautious, corporate filmmaking by numbers, and is well worth both seeking out and checking out.
