LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Fliction Hello,I was in the movie too but only as an extra. I was part of the group of kids from NAS Kamiseiya & Atsugi. It was a great learning experience and lots of fun. Everyone from the Director on down was polite and energetic. I'm hoping to get lucky and get the movie again because I gave a copy to my friend to record before I left Japan but never got it back. I remember the person who played Kenny and was glad to see someone had at least left comment on the movie :D When we saw it on opening night I remember seeing several people get emotional towards the end of the movie. Was really good to see that everyone's effort had impressed the
csanpedro I was also in this movie, it was the best experience I've ever had growing up in Japan. I went to school in Yokosuka and later moved to Atsugi attending Zama, but I'm a Yo-Hi Devil forever!!! Any who, I was not a main character I was playing two different characters (as an extra), we spent all our free times just hanging out waiting for our turn to shoot our scene...got treated to McDonalds a lot :-) This movie is your typical Japanese "Godzilla" like movie and the special effects back then were cool...notice I said back then! If you were to watch this movie now, you'd think differently, so if ever seeing, please keep in mind that this movie was made back in 1987. I would love to hear from the other two that has posted a comment on this.
dauber2 I am seriously biased about this movie as I was in it. My character piggy was a great comical relief as the schools' world became a sandy mess as they were catapulted into the future. So of course I would rate this movie a ten
Fenix-8 The filming of it was fun and a great learning experience for me. My family and I watched the premiere on opening night in Tokyo, Japan. The movie is interesting in storyline content, and one that leaves the ending to the viewer. Its Science Fiction content would leave any open minded writer the room to expand and possibly create another world within that the character's are thrust into. It is about a band of kids who attend an international school. An unusal warp gate pulls them into an unknown future, and one that isn't so friendly in the beginning. It deals with a boy who must break away from the ties of being irresponsible, to lead the survivors. As I said, the ending is left to the viewer. And for the time period that the movie was released, left a couple of tears trailing from audience members.
