Oh, hell. I’m going on vacation. Enough with the lightning strikes showing where I am all the time.
Reigo: The Deep-Sea Monster vs. the Battleship Yamato (2005) is the painful story of the Imperial Japanese Navy Yamato’s encounter with a magical monster while escorting troop transports. Nothing works here: a bad plot, a useless romantic subplot, an American prisoner who is clearly Japanese, poor special effects, and, at times, a farcical broad humor which doesn’t sit well with the overall noir feel of the movie. The most that can be said is that a few night scenes have a Minnesota Fringe Festival feel to them.
Take a skip on this one.
