Deep in the Antarctic, a
research team is drilling for minerals are abducted by masked troopers. They
learn that deep in the bowels of the cold continent, since the end of WWII the
Nazis have been operating science experiments, extending their age and cheating
death so they may once again lead the Third Reich to world domination, and
their new captives have become their next test subjects.
When I first heard of
this movie, I was definitely intrigued. Unfortunately, the opening credits
revealed that The Asylum produced this film, thus all hopes of being
entertained in any form went straight out the window. The Asylum is the cheap
bastards responsible for pathetic, second hand knockoffs of blockbusters such
as Transmorphers and Snakes on a Train. Continuing with
tradition and a well established poor reputation, Nazis at the Cener of the
Earth was a groaning bore. What was surprising was the minimal attempt at
originality, and they actually had a D-list star appearing with Jake Busey.
That’s a big step forward for them. Even Joseph J. Lawson’s directing was
adequate enough to give the movie a nicely budgeted feel, but the script and
acting were both uninspired and lazy.
If this movie had been
made in the late fifties or sixties, I might give it a pass. I might have actually
even enjoyed it, but it’s made a by a movie studio that has no shame in
producing crap for the sake of making crap. There are no redeeming qualities
about this movie. Please, skip it.
