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.
There are times when the title of a movie alone is so ridiculously over the top that the movie becomes irresistible. You have to watch, just to figure out "what the **** were they thinking?" This is truly one of those movies. In fact, it may be the classic example. I mean, how can you resist a movie entitled "Nazis At The Centre Of The Earth"? And the truly surprising thing about this is that while it's not good, it's watchable all the way through. As a matter of fact, the first half of this isn't bad at all. It's obviously ridiculous, but then again - so was Nazi Germany, in a grotesque sort of way, and while ridiculous, this actually seems plausible in the sense that it's something that I can imagine the elite Nazis would have done if possible at the end of the War as they watched their Fatherland be reduced to ruins and rubble.
The story has these elite Nazis escaping to Antarctica, where they establish an underground colony where they continue their plans for world domination, along with grotesque medical experiments that help them to survive all these decades. As I said, that strikes me as something the Nazis would have done if they could have done it. The movie proceeds with a team of scientists working in the Antarctic being kidnapped by stormtroopers and forced to become either accomplices in conducting the experiments or subjects of the experiments. That first half of the movie was actually OK.
From that point on, though, it just became silly - and I mean nonsensically silly. The silliness really began when the medical experiments resulted in Hitler's head being brought back to life and contained within some sort of robotic body that gave him some type of superhero status, not unlike the robotic suits you see in "District 9" or even "Avatar." Then there was the whole Nazi UFO creation that was going to release flesh-eating virus on the planet, except, of course, for the "Aryan nations" (although how they were going to prevent it from spreading to the "Aryan nations" was never explained.) I also wondered - apparently the Nazis in Antarctica were getting a regular supply of people for their medical experiments. All things considered, there aren't that many people in Antarctica, and there are certainly no indigent or homeless people there who could be snatched without anyone noticing. So how is it that no one seems to have noticed that for some years people in Antarctica have been going missing? Curious. And yet, as silly as this movie gets, you keep watching. You know the Nazis will be defeated; you wonder a bit who's going to survive - so you have to stick with it. (3/10)

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".

Obviously not, especially considering the original title. But it was renamed in Germany to fit the other movie about Nazis in hiding and is called "Nazi sky" here. Go figure how that makes sense (apart from marketing reasons that is of course). But whatever the title, this never reaches the fun potential of the Iron Sky team. Although it does have a Jake Busey who's having obvious fun with the role he got here and some other actors who go along with the madness.
CGI isn't really good, but you couldn't expect that (unless you compared this to that other movie of course). Story is pretty simple and straightforward with some elements being more offensive than others. But then again, this is a movie about Nazis, so they actually do not go far enough concerning the offending parts ...

Jake Busey.... if I was mean i would let these 2 words speak for themselves and submit this review... having said that Jake Busey was the best actor in the entire movie.
"Nazis at the Center of the Earth" is by far the worst "movie" I have seen in many years. The acting is horrific, there are free phone apps that produce better special effects and the story was never meant to be taken serious.
There seems to be a scene for this kind of trash movies and judging by some reviews these people totally like it. Apparently I am not part of this scene and I am judging a movie based on it's quality and I am very generous by giving it 2 stars.
More than once the actors in the movie are complaining how cold it is in the Antarctica, they doing so by wearing Jeans and sneakers which is obviously the typical outdoor lab coat for arctic scientists. I could easily oversee the fact that even when it is freezing cold nobody seems to have enough body heat that there would be steam coming out of their mouth. Like I said i could oversee that but i don't want to. There are ridiculous cut scenes such as Jake Busey laying his hand on someones should, this shot must have excited the director because he used it 3 times.
The Storyline is not meant to be taken serious and i can live that, however even a nonsense story requires actors doing their job. I was asking myself, there are ten thousands of unemployed "actors" in L.A. does nobody of them have the slightest talent to get into a movie like that? It reminded me on a school play I was in, we also took awkwardly long breaks between sentences and stuttered occasionally.

- TriviaThe four files that the Doctor points to in his laboratory quite clearly read: "Essen Babys", "Dreisehn", "ich Liebe es, Drogen zu tum" and "gross esel, junge dame". Which translated mean: "Eat Babies", "Thirteen", "I love doing drugs" and "Big ass, young lady" (although the German says "donkey" instead of "ass" for the last, and the others are misspelled as well).
- GoofsWhen Mengele tears off Mark's face, he removes much of his front hairline, while the incision was only made at the top of his forehead.
