PRODUCT REVIEWS

Set in Japan, an attack occurs when a Kaiju appears without any warning. The government and the special task force have successfully fought and defeated many monsters in the past (and believe me, there have been many of them!). But this new Kaiju is different and can turn invisible when it’s required to regenerate. It can also steal Japan’s electricity, making the monster even more powerful. The government and Japan’s skilled task force attempt to stop the monster but have no solution. Suddenly, out of the sky comes a large silver, robot-like lifeform that takes on the Kaiju in combat. After a short battle, the Kaiju is defeated. Captain Tamura (Hidetoshi Nishijima) from the Ministry of Defence and his fellow staff have now been assigned to investigate the mysterious unknown giant that came from the sky. Joining him and the team is a new team member, Hiroko Asami (Masami Nagasawa), who was recently transferred. She will work as an analyst, hoping to learn if this giant robot-like creature is another Kaiju or perhaps something else completely. In the meantime, the team has developed a codename for the new being: “Ultraman”. While the team continues to investigate, more problems occur with a new Kaiju appearing, this time within the Momoyama District of Kamikita City. Destroying everything in its sight, this Kaiju is soon identified as a Subterranean Kaiju. Will Captain Tamura be able to stop this new kind of Kaiju, and more importantly, will the mysterious ‘Ultraman’ appear yet again to save the day? Shin Ultraman is best described as a fantasy and action film. If you love movies, I’m confident you have heard of films like Godzilla and other monsters like him, but perhaps you might be unfamiliar with Ultraman. Funny enough, in the land of cinema and TV, the character of Ultraman has been around for quite some time, and here we have another take on the famous hero. If you are unaware of who or what Ultraman is, don’t stress; there are no spoilers here. Thankfully, the film also manages to keep some mystery about the character and make slow reveals along the way. I can’t deny it: Shin Ultraman is extremely wacky. The entire feature is playful and fast-paced. There’s a lot of dialogue, plenty of destruction, and battles as Ultraman finds himself in various conflicts and takes on large new enemies who pop up. The film discusses global politics, economies, militaries, religion, and extraterrestrials. On top of this, we learn that the world continues to change dramatically, with continuous Kaiju appearing randomly and a mysterious Ultraman making its grand appearance, giving people hope. Overall, while I’m confident many film buffs across the world know of the likes of Godzilla, Shin Ultraman is less unknown. Here, we have another version of the famous hero, and for the majority, the film has plenty of solid action, and randomness to offer. Filled with fast-talking dialogue, there are great action set pieces and plenty of random moments played for comedic purposes. The retro vibes, including from the music, take viewers to what feels like another time and place, which is exciting, but it's also played far too frequently on repeat. Shin Ultraman will appeal to a select audience, but no matter how you respond to it, you can’t deny the fun nature and huge level of creativity and cinematography. * This review has been written for Sanity.
