Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Joe A"We also need Jimmy, from NASA." A fun movie, but a pretty silly one, War in Space feels like it's at least ten years older than it actually is. With plenty of stock footage from other similar movies, and a mostly stock story, it still manages to be enjoyable. Good model work, as usual. Fun sets and costumes. And some trippy music for spice. But things really get good when the horned Chewbacca shows up. Oh, yeah. If watching for humor value, watch it with the English language dub on. Otherwise, the subtitles are pretty good.
User Review - 4/10 by Simon LEverything you need to know about The War In Space can be summed up by a screenshot (which I sadly can't reproduce here) of heroine Yuko Asano wearing a wildly impractical leather swimsuit while being held captive by - and I'm not making this up - CHEWBACCA WITH HORNS AND A GIANT AXE. If that sounds utterly ridiculous to you... well, you're absolutely right. Turn away now. If you think that sounds completely AWESOME, you're right about that to, so jump right on it! War in Space was both Toho's attempt to cash in on Star Wars and a loving tribute to the kinds of big, silly special effect fests they cranked out back in the '60s. This film is far bigger and (in it's own way) far sillier than anything that decade had to offer, though, and anyone who love those films will love this one even more. I can't in good conscience call War in Space "good" since the plot and acting are both lacking any sense of reality and too many of the production designs are obviously borrowed from other sources (supposedly, the warship Gohten is actually the same prop originally used for Atragon). Still, they more than qualify for "so bad it's good" status, and the numerous wiz-bang explosions are awesome by anybody's standards. Well, anybody who loves life, that is.
User Review - 2/10 by Kevin BAh, old Japan sci-fi. Spaceships that look like boats, one female astronaut in a too-tight yellow jumpsuit, a hero with helmet hair, an angry wookie-viking mix with an ax, and Jimmy, the white dude from NASA who's simply speaking in English and dubbed over. It's just about as good/bad as it gets. The low rating is on genuine film merit, but it will live in my heart 5-stars strong.
