Waste of time

Good concept, poorly executed.

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.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Though the was one part that was extremely reminiscent of the original 'Alien' movie (not to mention extreme similarities to the aliens depicted in this film and that) I found this to be extremely well choreographed, the swordplay in particular, for being one of the "less known" Asian films (at least to me). The choice of actors - and matching dubbed voices - seemed to also be very well chosen. Like most things translated and dubbed, I would have preferred this to be in the original language and subtitled, but that isn't really up to me. I may never watch it again (except for laughs and a few awesome moves), but it was pretty decent for an accidental late evening watch on Hulu. If any ever get the chance, before it's taken off Hulu, and you enjoy a semi-long action sci-fi ninja film, take a look.

A great little romp of Japanese cartoonish madness. If you love weirdly titled, poorly shot films, then this is for you. It has bad CGI and even worse suits/puppets. How can I possibly defend it? I enjoyed it dammit. It had action, adventure, betrayal, and never let its budget get in the way of imagination. The little alien critters were grotesquely simple, while the big alien dudes were uncomfortably phallic. The comedy mostly came from bizarre deaths, and though these were more normal than usual (for this type of movie) the sword fights were more than convincing enough. This is the kind of film that young teenagers make with their friends on a nice summer afternoon. Only difference is, that here we have grown-ups that should know better, and with that immaturity comes innocence and excitement.

My god, I laughed and laughed...with it and at it. I was of course expecting a romp, but not.."this". They knew what they were filming from the start and it shows beautifully. Choreography was great, cinematography ditto.As to people dissing this work of art I only say : loosen up, guys!"revdkooi771" said that aliens and ninjas looked cheap blah, blah. Of course they look cheap, look at the budget. Look at the title of the movie. Does it reek with seriousness? I think not. It's like I buy a Justin Beiber CD, listen to it and say it's bad, the music is amateurish...of course it is and it's our fault if we can't turn on our brains and deduct that before we waste time, money and remaining grey cells.But hey, everyone has a right to speak his mind

I was first introduced to this film in Baltimore while at Otakon in 2010 where we had a good time heckling the crap out of it Mystery Science 3000 style. The cross synthesis between American and Japanese culture is beautiful in it's chaos of stylistic emulations. I personally think that Aliens Vs. Predator is trash when compared to the original Alien and Aliens movies. One of the glories I had while watching this movie was that by satiricizing Aliens Vs. Predator, there was a redemption with it's goofy spoof. Rather than space age sci-fi, this low budget film is themed around feudal Japan with warring ninja villages. A meteor crashes in the vicinity of a country, and the funny boisterous distraction continues from there. It's not a great movie, but can be a lot of fun if you're with creative friends. One of the comments that I made while they were removing the impregnated alien from one of the possessed ninjas throats was, "This will never go over well in Utah." And in Japanese the possessed ninja asked, "What happened to me?" And, "Well, you see when you're raped..." Yeah, it could be awful. : -)
