What critics said
Critics broadly regarded the sequel as an unsuccessful, overextended parody with weak dialogue, cardboard characters, uneven CGI, and humor that rarely lands.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The plot turns Nazis, contemporary political figures, and conspiracy mythology into broad science fiction parody.
The story continues an earlier Nazi Moonbase scenario into a post-nuclear future where the Moonbase shelters humanity.
The heroes descend into a Hollow Earth containing the origins of mankind and the Vril civilization.
The film relies on confined sets, green-screen performances, CGI dinosaurs, and shapeshifting reptilian creatures.
